Due for release soon is the GBA(Game Boy advanced), its set to be a must have for all GameBoy owners. This new Handheld game machine will be 17 times more powerful than the gameboy and is nintendo's first to have horizontal alignment. It uses a 240 X 160 pixel display compared to the gameboy colors 160 X 140 pixels. One of the most exciting features is it can also be connected to the Gamecube and acts as a controller with an extra screen built in. But is the future of hand held gaming going to decrease. before we had the Sega Gamegear, Atari Lynx and the gameboy.

But now in the Uk we only have the GBa set for release. There are two others on the market, Bandai's WonderSwan and SNK's NeoGeo Pocket but these are only available in Japan and there is no plans to release them in the USA or Europe. So what will happen after the GBA, is it over for the handheld market? Are the days of travelling long didtances playing your fav games over? Lets hope the GBA is a succes and handheld games continue to liven up those boring journeys.
