Is anyone more excited about the GBA now, then they were @ the PS2 launch? I am...for some reason. Maybe its the temptation of Mario Kart - just like in my trusty SNES' hey day. If you have read this message and are thinking what a fool I am, you thunk wrong! The GBA will be Nintendo's route to the top of the gaming hierarchy. With the obvious financial success of the inpending GBA (most stores have 200+ reservations for the diddy console already), Nintendo will not have the pitfall of bancruptcy looming over their head,like poor Sega did (RIP, Dreamcast) and will hopefully go on to manufacture more games than the N64 (which was the N64's main draw back - lack of games)for the eagerly awaited Game Cube.
I personnally cant wait for the next Zelda Advance title (Ahh, those beautiful 'Zelda: A link to the past days' on the Snes....)and I even think that the inevitable Pokémon release will be good. I think that the milestone for GBA developers to aim for should be to produce a handheld 3-D shoot 'em up. I'm not talking GoldenEye, more around the Duke Nukem' sprite based shooters of old. Then add the fantantastic link up ability of the GBA into the equation, and you have the formula for unlimited success. But until then, we'll have to settle for Mario Kart Advance and F-Zero X as the multiplaying titles....unless Bomberman Advance can reproduce the magic it did on the Snes as a multiplayer.
You may be thinking that I'm looking through rose tinted glasses at the 16-bit era, but believe me i'm not, I still settle down for a good game of Super Mario Kart on my Snes from time to time (In favour of my N64 and Dreamcast!).
All I can say is that I can't wait for it to be released, and that my holiday is going to be a tad more interesting this year!
PS - By the way, the 'Glacier' GBA cover is the best :)

I'm far more eager for the GC... real games like Zelda and not remakes and rip-offs of old ideas. Nintendo's games have so much depth!

Indigo is the best, the 'Glacier' and 'Fuschia' colours look like the covers 14-year-old girls have for their 3210's!
Pah!
Purple is best, I'm getting a purple, SR make sure I have a Purple one!

Purple looks plain and almost drab, it pales in comparison to the richly refreshing translucent colour of the "glacier" machine which is my chosen colour, and iam ordering it today :D
