Been playing Tony Hawks 2 which is just breathtaking!! Rayman Advance is great so is F Zero!! Havent played Mario Advance or Castlevania yet, will do later though!!
The only criticism i have is that the digital pad is slightly too small for my hands. But thats a minor niggle.
If you can afford one, go and buy one. NOW!
Nintendo have got it just right with the new handheld because it's going to old and new gamers alike.
Firstly, it looks funky, is well designed and comfortable to hold and it has the potential for some really cracking games!
Secondly, for the likes of me (a twenty-something), it feels like a hand held Super Nintendo!
With some ported SNES games (Super Mario Advance 2, Super Mario Kart etc) being planned for the near future, the GBA is going to become a "must have" console.
Techy-stuff aside (we all know the specs anyway), as with any console, it's the game play that's important - which is an area where the GBA excels (it's worth buying for Super Mario Advance alone!).
