A few hours ago I pre-ordered the GBA and I can't wait until it comes! But what is its future? Well more and more stunning games and with games like Alone in the Dark coming out on the GBC I expect games 10 times better on the new system!
But what lies in its deep dark future of the GBA well one word... Gamecube! One year to go until Nintendo's next super machine but how will it work with Nintendo's handheld masterpiece?
There is so much that can be done from using it as a virtual memory unit and using it to hide a deck of cards to playing two games at once! You know some games require you to play as 2 different people what happens if these 2 different adventures split into 2 different games.
Imagine Metroid, the Gamecube version could have you play as Samus meanwhile the Gameboy Advanced will have you play as Samus' ally! You could use the GBA as the controller and you could play the first level as the Gaemcube game but to get to the next level samus' ally needs to complete his mission. Now you switch to the GBA version of the game and it will appear on the TV screen now you can complete the allys first level once this has been done you can complete Samus' second level etc...
Which brings me on what else Nintendo could be cooking up behind closed doors... the N64 Controller presented a problem for playing GBC games on it but using the GBA as a controller means you could play GBA games on the big screen.
Soon the GBA will be a essential add on to the Gamecube (but more likely the Gamecube will be an essential add on to the GBA) and the future of the 2 will be very close indeed!
Here's to the future

Why not just play both characters on the Gamecube? It seems pointless to have to keep switching to the less powerful GBA and back to the Gamecube when you could get it all on one of them.
Maybe you mean that one person plays a character on the GBA while the other plays the main character and they work together without having to divide the screen?
Well I don't know but you will have to clarify.

I have two words to that sentence. But i can't say them becuse I have vowed not to swear. Lets just say that they are what made Jim Royle famous.
