.....you will be with me than pb, with the price in Japan, you could afford to get two, sell one on over here, make about £100, then you could buy an english one at UK launch and still have the Jap one for resale, (sell that) you could make about £30 and still have had a GC.... a bit confusing but hey... its worth it....I am going to buy my GC from SR! :)

Im really getting in to it, been playing it a bit this morning. It's just like Gran Turismo, just without the money, you get new cars and parts instead.
I'm damn glad it's in english, when the first screen loaded up with all that Japanese on, i was thinking that it may have been a mistake, but the rest of the game is in english.
The onl downside i can see is that none of the tracks i've played so far have any gradient, they're all on the flat. It's not a major problem, but it does highlight one of the restrictions of the GBA.
Apart from that minor niggle i'm glad i bought it. Exmas are out of the way, so for 2 weeks all i have to do is post on here and play my GBA.
Now this is the life!

I don't take my GBA to work anymore (it's a white one btw) as it nearly got me into trouble. Damn addictive thing just subliminally told me to extend my lunch break.
It's just so easy to get caught up in playing the game, and when I get some more games it'll be even harder to put down.
Oh yes, I also know someone who's girlfriend is Japanese and lives in Tokyo, so I'm thinking about importing a GC, but I'm not sure. Just so long to wait otherwise.....

I don't think a purple cube would go down well beside my Sony PS2, my Sony TV, my Sony hi-fi or my Sony mobile phone!

oh, and i'm not thinking of gettin a GC, i AM gettin a GC. In my mind i already have it. I have a space set-aside for it in-between my snes and 64.
listen right, i aint dissing the Game boy in any way. its been going for ages and it is the best selling console of all time, but.......
When i'm in the toilet i can play snake on my phone. I dont really wanna spend a fiver on some pathetic GB game. In my mind i got the best 3 games on the GB. Zelda DX,pokemon and tetris. I've got a GBC that i have not touched in ages, its gathering a lot of dust. The last game i played on it was pokemon yellow and that was last flippin summer.
So its got the GC connection thing right. That might make me buy it. But that wont be until i get a GC next year. So maybe i'll get one next summer.

Its not a SNES conversion its truelly a brilliant game, just read my review of the game at ukadvance.com, its a NES conversion with tons of extra great stuff!
Why buy it when you are thinking of getting a GC? Well its a controller for a start and it reveales extra information to help you against your mates... muhh hahaha
STOP IT!

A rip-off, yeah right! Lets think about it, 32-bit portable power, the, YES THE most playable games in the world, backwards compatibilty for any GB/GBC game (even adds colour to GB games), great size, lighter then a brand new macleans toothpaste (trust me). It is one of the best buys you can ever get from this industry, the games may cost a lot, but if you don't like them buy some great GB games second hand for a fiver... Amazing how you can think they aren't worth it, can you play your SNES, N64 or PC on the toilet? No, didn't think so, can you walk around the house playing you PC? No didn't think so, JUST STOP IT!
