"Who cares??"

Who cares about the Gameboy Advance? Who's gonna have it? Nintendo should stick to the Dolphin. Who wnats 2D graphics? Not many people. Until the Gameboy plays 3D games the only people who are gonna really play it are people with not much money or loyal Gameboy players. The Gameboy was my first taste of the game playing world, and it was good in those days. But now it's been way overpowered by the Playstation and Nintendo 64. And with the PS2 and Dolphin coming out, I don't think that Nintendo can really bring anything special out of the bag.
I actually wouldn't mind knowing why Konami are bringing out Metal Gear: Ghost Babel on the Gameboy color when they could've brought it on PC or PSX. I don't know much about it, and if anyone knows anything, let me know on here.

be quiet no one cares

He we go again. 3D or 2D? Who cares? The games are better than most people if you say PS2 graphics are better than GBA graphics! Course not it's a handheld!

Well I want 2D graphics :)
I recently bought snes and several olds games. It completes my collection of old consoles... according to me, lots of olds gamez were more realistics and original than today 3D games!!

I care about the Gameboy Advance, and i`m certainly gonna be first in the cue when they start selling `em. There are a LOT of tremendous games available for the gameboy which go to prove that 3-d isn`t neccesary. The best proof i can put forward is that on 4 separate occasions i have shunned my 500mhz PC, ignored my Playstation and rejected the advances of my Dreamcast to continue my journey thru some of the best games handheld gaming has ever seen. Mario Golf, absolutely compulsive, classic Nintendo magic - the lack of 3-d hardware allows the nintendo boys to go back to basics in a big way, the pulls factor for continuing the game being simply the ability to see the next secret area or the next cut scene. Warioland 3, all of the above applies twice over, a sprawling game enviroment and insipred graphics.Thirdly comes, how could we leave it out....Pokemon. Mildly over-rated i believe but still, never has a game on any format managed to push so many boundaries out around it. And finally - to finish in direct reply to your last point, the most recent game to have me pinned to my comfy armchair is Metal Gear Solid on the GBC. I`d never have thought it possible but the incarnation of this game only goes to impress upon me that the original game concept is so solid. The Metal Gear series is a series that will never NEED fancy GFX. The GBC is a perfect showcase for it. The tense atmosphere is still there and the feeling of progression still strong. Borrow, beg or rent a GBC and one of these games and you`ll be panting with anticipation of the Gameboy Advance. Believe it.
