With another 40 title expected by the time christmas arrives ,this amazing machine is going to blow you away.

With the GC i know i will be gettin a quality piece of hardware, but i think gettin a GBA will be going a step back. Okay i'm looking forward to 4-player mario kart going back to snes roots style, but the mario game is just a snes conversion, exactly the same.

Oh, does anyone know if tony hawks 2 is coming out in the UK for the 64? i read on IGN that its coming out in the US but not sure bout here.

I'd reccomend trying before you buy an console man...

Is the GBA really worth getting? i suppose if u on the move alot it will be fun, but when i am at home i would rather play on my snes,PC and 64. The only Gameboy games i have been adicted too are Tetris and Pokemon. Everything else was very very boring. HOw much is it gonna be? £80? £30 a game? i think its a rip-off. Asmuch of a Nintendo fan i am, i think i will have to try before i buy on this one.

I'm still

I have at one time or another held them all within my hands and played a different game on them, I choose the transparent blue one in the end because it was just the sexiest colour and goes well when I leave it next to my old Blueberry iMac... the game I have in the GBA at the moment is Super RC Pro AM, from 1990. (what a game)

As you will have seen from the E3 shots, although the GBA isn't a 3D games machine, it is still capable of displaying 3D-like graphics, ala Crawfish / DK Pilot.

I mean c'mon, Tony Hawks should be enough! You can tell by just 1 screen shot that the GBA will provide loads of quality gameplay, with super grpahics 24 hours a day...

I am sorry this post isn't quite as catchy as the other on but there is nothing to it, the GBA is a VERY big step up from the GBC as seen in the games and sheer power of the machine....

Buying one will only make you happier...:D

Why should I buy a GBA??

********************************

In a nutshell?

Because...

The GBA is a classic, portable, no hassle, quality, graphically sound, idealy sized source of incomparable, exciting and very rewarding fun that could only ever be provided by one company - Nintendo.

Because you, dear sir, care about gameplay, not graphics.

Purple, gotta be.

I don't like the clear one and I am not too keen on the white one.

The purple one looks good and it will go with my Gamecube.

Yes, the Gamecube that I got yesterday....

From where, I cannot tell, but well....
