Meh, another Gameboy, what is the point of it all! Still the same terrible refective backscreen, still the same tacky sound and still the same two buttons! You'd think they could at least have A, B, X and Y... like a SNES pad!

Okay so there are shoulder buttons but they won't do very much, and they don't have the same potential as two extra front-face buttons!

The games will be the same, okay so Tony Hawks PS2 looks good but there will still be those tacky side-scrollers that just go on, and on, and on!

The GBA won't do very much more that the GBC, if you already have a GBC forget the GBA, it is just a waste of time... advanced my a**e! Just another waste of £80?!

Unquestionably...!

Game

So you disagree?! Why?! What is so special about it!

Heh, my SNES is actually working! Cool! I can't find Street fighter II Turbo or Mario Kart anywhere but at least I have Mario.

I will be getting a GBA, but I won't be getting any of the older games.... I'll be getting Tony Hawks and Mario Kart, and Maybe F-Zero Advcance as for the NES and SNES port's, I'll play them on the originals!

Hmmmm... Anyway.

Anyway, GBA will be great, and it can also link up with the GameCube, so more stuff could be opened up.

Just replace the 'Gamboy' bit with Tekken/Final Fantasy and you get the same kind of thread.

Tony Hawks and Spiderman arent ten years old when it comes to games...anyway the games that will be released will probably be great and you will be able to sell youre old GBC for 30+ quid and buy a new game or get a couple of good GBC games for it, since you can still try and complete your old games on the GBA so those will keep you going a while longer as well so that gives Nintendo time to work on a bigger and more difficult project...the GameCube.

THe GBA will also help bring in a little extra cash to help the GC along the way and to get rid of any hiccups when it is first released like on the PS2.
