"* This week sees the UK launch of Nintendo's highly anticipated Gameboy Advance. The new hand-held console becomes the biggest-selling hardware launch in UK history.

* The All Formats Leisure Software Top 40 sees Nintendo debuting at No1 thanks to Gameboy Advance 'Super Mario Advance'. THQ debut at No2 with PS2 'Red Faction and Activision re-enter at No3 thanks to the new GBA version of 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2'. Also debuting within the Top 10 this week is Code Masters' PC 'Operation Flashpoint' at No4, Nintendo's GBA 'F-Zero' at No5, Sega's Dreamcast 'Sonic Adventure 2' at No8 and Squaresoft's PS2 'The Bouncer', in at No9."

From Chart Track (just so you know not to pick this for GAD ;)

So Sonic made it there, but Mario selling about 20,000 copies has definitely made it the highest seller.

Good day to you all.

Super Mario ADvance is a highly addictive game!

To be honest I prefer Mario Bros than Super Mario 2 on the cart, but I play them both all the same!

I'm suprised it was the best selling game! I thought that people didn't like Super Mario Bros 2, however most GBA games paks (the Game Boy Advance with extras) had Super MArio ADvance with it...
