With the move into next generation console gaming, handheld gaming is taking a massive step up in terms of graphics and processing power. I am one of the many Europeans who purchased a Game Boy Advance on release, and playing it for the first time, on Tony Hawks 2, I thought it was amazing. However, the shortage of decent games over the following months did worry me, but then along came Mario Kart and my worries were done away with. However, the release schedule for the coming months is worrying, and with the fairly un-revolutionary technology, will it cut the butter?

It could have been optional?

You could have turned it on/off manually?

I always thought Nintendo made quite a conservative jump? ...

Still, I suppose, the GB was hardly cutting edge when that was originally released...???

Heve you seen the Sabre Wulf video?

Download it from Rare's site and have no fears about the quality of games coming to the GBA.
