It seems to me that Nintendo are becoming a bit lazy in terms of the GameBoy games.
For the GBColor, you had games like Zelda DX, Tetris DX, Mario Bros DX, etc... Admittedly they are great games, but at the end of it all, they are just color updates.

Now with the GBAdvance, we are getting games like Mario Advance (based on a fifteen year old game that was even a Mario game), Mario Kart Advance, and F-Zero advance.

I have to stress that I do not think for one moment that they are bad games, it's just that I want Nintendo to come up with new ideas and games.

When are we ever going to see the true Super Mario Land 3?

Nintendo are known and respected worldwide for their innovation, so a little more effort with GBAdvance games wouldn't go amiss.

I hope Nintendo release a Zelda Allstars for the GBA!

It could include the NES versions and the SNES version and the GBC DX version!

And maybe if we're lucky, the 2 new GBC versions!

GC will be out this year... In Japan.

UK? I'm not so sure...

As for GBA, if they just give us Mario 2 instead of the whole lot in Mario All Stars (which would be just as easy and less of a rip off) then they ARE being lazy and greedy.

That's why have faith in Nintendo to RELEASE Mario All Stars for NO MORE THAN £25!

Maybe I was wrong about Nintendo being lazy. It's more a case of being less unlazy than before if you know what I mean.

Of course, in comparison to Sony, Nintendo are far more hardworking, and try to produce games of the highest quality. But as someone has said, maybe it's because of the revenue from the whole Pokemon franchise, Nintendo have let their quality control slip a bit.
