"GBA and Game Gear, look a bit too much similar??"

I'm creaing this topic because i think Sega might have helped Nintendo develope the GBA, and if not did Nintendo get the idea off the Game Gear?

Now that Sega and Nintendo work together i'm wondering if my theory is true!

I mean the shape of it's the same, and there are loads of Sega games coming out for the GBA with Sonic Advance, Chu Chu Rocket! and Actua Soccer is rumoured to have some stars from on it.

What do you think?

Is it just a coincidence that the GBA and Game Gear look the same?

And that Sega are making games for Nitendo?

Thanks for reading, Rickoss

Look the GAme Gear seems heavier and bulkier as i remember.

you can buy a set of three joysticks for the gba i got mine for £5 , they just stick on the joypad ! very good for playing fzero !

The Atari Lynx was a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands.

i applaud you for spotting that they are both horizontal...well done..
.what shape would you expect it to be? the new larger screen cant fit on a vertical gameboy and the shoulder buttons well where the hell would they go?...the only reason sega is producing games for other consoles is because that is the only way they are gonna make money while they have no console on the market...as soon as the new sega console is released they will no longer make games for rival consoles.

Game gear had more button than teh GBA inorder for the GBA to fit more buttons easily they had to turn it on tis side.

But the Lynx looks similar and that was before the Game gear. Sob i lvoed that Game gear.

Ya gotta love though........ the GBA.

The GBA DOES have an analogue stick, but you can only get it if you buy a set of snap-on facias.

These were explained in issue 58 of N64 mag.

Don't know about an analog stick, it wouldn't work on all the cloned mario games on the system. But it should definetly have a new screen, you can't see crap all in most light.

i prefer the game gear d-pad to the GBA, who thinks the GBA should have an analog stick?
