Just because they are old, it doesn't mean they are pathetic!
I've spent most my gaming days on a 46Kb (kilobit) games console called the ZX Spectrum. Not exactly the biggest memory and the games weren't exactly perfect. However they were fun to play and lasted ages!
The Gameboy/Gameboy Color has excellent 2D games and they also last for ages! they have improved since the days of the ZX spectrum and are great to play! There is more gameplay on Gameboy games, than some of the new 3D games!

No doubt that Nintendo will use the GBA with the GBA. I also heard that the GBA will be used as a controller to, but not nessericaly for every game, just a few that work in conjunction with the cube.
I bet Nintendo, as ever, have many plans up their sleaves!
The GC gets my vote along with the GBA, Nintendo, I salute you!
hehe

Grix rubs off the orange crayon message, pockets the GBA, and makes a run for it...
And gets blown up approximatly 15.86 seconds later.
