Flashcard Names

[mr_blonde_88]

Can someone explain to me the fad with naming flashcards with a letter then a number
I know not all cards are named like this, but a fair few are

Any reason behind it?

The M1 (never called that) was the original Movie/Multimedia player for the gameboy advance. The M2 (GBAMP) was the second. M3, you all know. R4...I have no idea what the R is for, any ideas? G6? I don't know the story behind that

Its all because of the R4. I dont know why they did it though. Everyones following them though

I don't think it's because of the R4
The G6 and M3 were before it

Hmm, I've found that people on this forum ignore members that don't have a sig and avatar....

M1=movie player version 1
M2=version 2, gbamp
M3=version 3, M3 perfect
G6=Game with a 6?
R4="revolution"?, plus a 4 because of M3?

I've noticed that for R4 G6 and M3, the letter can be move in some way to resemble the number. A capital G looks like a 6, if you rotate an M it looks like a 3, and if you flip the R horiz. it kinda looks like a 4.

I think the 4 in R4 means "for"
R4DS : Revolution for DS

That's correct. It's even written like that on its package.

Holy shit. That is true.. sounds like a coincidence though

The M* was just a name given to a line of products, and M1 and M2 do not hold this theory

DS-X didn't follow this pattern though.

DS-Xtreme - Xtremely crappy.
