I’m sure we all agree, even if you’re a Sony or Sega fan, that the SNES was a great console. There’s no denying it! But it has faded now. It had a lot of great, GREAT games. But it’s dead. It was the most popular console of its time, even beating the Megadrive. But it’s gone. It was probably Nintendo’s crowning achievement. But it’s now not merely pushing up daisy’s but practically rocketing them into orbit!
Yes, I’m sure a lot of people (including myself) were sad to see it go, but it’s gone now. All it’s great games are now only alive in people’s memories, and maybe some people are still playing their SNES. I have regrettably sold mine. I really wish I hadn’t, but I have. I really miss some of the games. Old classics like F-Zero X, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World... There are loads and loads of them. I’m pretty sure by now that you can tell what I’m getting at. Yup, a SNES revival!
Hey! Put down those placards! We don’t need to protest! The Revival is already happening. Even the slowest of you should get what I mean by now. I’m talking about the GameBoy Advance of course! It has already been confirmed that three SNES titles are getting the ‘Advanced treatment’ They are namely, Mario Advance, Mario Kart Advance and F-Zero Advance. The original Super Mario Brothers (Well not the ORIGINAL, but the SNES version) was a *huge* success, absolutely massive. Mario Kart... Do I need to go any further with this sentence? Err, no I don’t think so. And of course F-Zero X. F-Zero, blah blah blah, break neck speeds, yadda yadda yadda, great fun... You get my drift? With these titles and loads more rumoured to be updated, (R-Type being among them!) the GBA truly will have pulled off the SNES Revival.
But, of course, the GBA can’t JUST have updates of old games. It has to have its fair share of original titles to keep the players happy.
Luckily there are tons of original games being developed (or rumoured to be developed anyhow) for the GBA at the moment! With the GBA’s combination of updates, completely original titles, cool look and excellent all round ability to entertain (yes I have played on one). I believe that I can’t go far wrong in saying that this is going to be the best handheld console ever. And probably one of the best consoles ever. Handheld or otherwise.

It's a great idea if the GBA does get the SNES adapter! I can just imagine! I would rather have my NES games on it though. Can't be picky! I wreckon the olf Link games would be cool on a GBA! the only thing it's missing is a CD player so you can listen to some of your favouriote tunes while on the moves, but you know what! somebody already thought of that......
*cough*
...still waiting for somebody to tell me why SNES games are being rehashed, when you'll be able to can get an adaptor to play them on GBA anyway...

Right, if you're going to be able to get an adaptor to play SNES games on your GBA, why on earth would you buy Mario Advance, Super Mario Kart Advance, F-Zero Advance....?

Sonyling: "It doesn't count. It's a new console"
Ninty : "Yes, but it plays PSX games, so essentially they're all only sequels."
Sonyling: "Yes, but they're still good games."
Ninty: "It's pathetic that the selling point of your console is a bunch of sequels."
Sonyling: "Gameboy Advance"
Ninty: "What?"
Sonyling: "All sequels. Barely even updated."
Ninty: "yes, but that's ..er.. different."
Sonlying: "Why?"
Ninty: "Um.. it just is, okay? Nintendo RULEZ. Sony are really unoriginal...."
