Have you seen Broken Sword on the GBA yet? Wow.
SR have some pictures up, and it's looking great. Me being me, decided to dig deeper, and have a few thoughts.
Firstly, how will the game allow you to communicate with characters? You would expect text, but nope, the GBA will allow the speech to be used completely. Great news.
Seen Tony Hawks 2 on the GBA as well?
Well there's a video available to download now... 20mb big, but worth it. Get it, even if you're not interested in the GBA.

Whales? Those are those giant sea mammals that shoot water out a hole in their back aren't they?
Why do you go to them?

Will the graphics be up to modern standards though? It won`t exactly be next-gen console standard. However, the link sounds good, but only if the gamecube is a success.
As for the games, nobody yet knows how great, but I suppose they should have fairly good playability. Otherwise it would definitely be pointless.
You can also use it as a Gamecube controller.
Sounds good as well, but not exactly the main reason to get one.

Its the in the house bit I don`t understand thats all. Travelling fair enough, but indoors, I don`t get it.

I am getting a GBA without a doubt.
Why?
Because I loved my Game Boy Colour and I know that GBA will be even better than it. The graphics will be great, games will be great, and it has a cool link up option with the Gamecube.
You can also use it as a Gamecube controller.

Why?
Because I loved my Game Boy Colour and I know that GBA will be even better than it. The graphics will be great, games will be great, and it has a cool link up option with the Gamecube.
You can also use it as a Gamecube controller.

What I buy will be a spur of the moment type thing....
I'll pick up games that I think will be cool, even if mags say they're rubbish, cos I've got quite a few good games that way!
