Over the years we've found it to be the perfect system for Super NES ports and classic remakes (such as Tales of Phantasia, originally featured only on the PSX in Japan). The Game Boy Advance is in an interesting position, however, since it works on a different technical standard. Across the pond, SquareEnix is currently working on the next chapter of the Final Fantasy series, which now features a combination of role-playing elements with more action-filled battles to give gamers a more fluid and realistic sense of immersion.
On a much grander scale, systems like the Xbox 360 are showing a new generation without an on-screen heads up display, literally morphing the genre of first-person shooters.
With the continual progression of technology, the industry is constantly changing how we not only look at games, but also how we play them.
