Yeah!!!!!!GAMEBOY ADVANCE RULZ BUT THE GAMES Dont take advantage!!WHERES THE 32bit wotsumacallit processor power being hidden??Where the full polygon mipmapped z-buffered, quake clones??..No where is the sad answer, games like GT championship ..ok they do have perfectly good gameplay...But its not the spectacular eye candy one expected having just shelled out on the worlds most advanced handheld gaming system.On the 2D front we have the BEAUTIFUL Rayman Advance, and the mario series but come on people this is stuff a SNES could do if it really wanted to, WE WANT 3D, WE WANT POLYGONS.I rest my case...
If anyone feels they've got to correct my misguided thoughts, or indeed add a few more points to my brilliant observations,--->email me: [email protected]

The GBA's not good? your kidding yourself, they've only just started making games for it, what did you expect? when they get used to making games for such a small console hopefully you'll be less gratful, it's a very high powered machine, with FULL COLOUR! this is the perfect travelling companion!

LOL, cheeky kid! I didn't realise you knew about GOOD consoles before the GBA that had FULL COLOUR screens.

So the GBA is slow off the mark ,but this doesn't mean its pants,Nintendo really needed to put their release date for the gba back so some worthwhile games are actually outI think it has the power,but so far no game has actually gained from it.Its power is as good (or better) than a snes,so why don't the nintendo dudes get a really good game out, and make playstation owners cack their pants and drop their jaws .Whatsmore me and my friends agree ,the longer that nintendo leave the gba with hardly any games , more ps2 owners will emerge .I think under programmin is to blaim .Perhaps most of the attention is to the gamecube ,which is the next revolutionary console that nintendo has to offer .The gba should also be a classic bit of hardware that never goes to the bottom of your cupboard .
I have loved every nintendo console and i find that some games that get the consoles full power are brilliant ,but so far the gba hasn't impressed me .For example ,Tony Hawk's skateboarding game for the gba has good graphics ,but isn't very playable and gets boring .Perhaps Perfect Dark or something really really fun to play on ?
Iguess its just a matter of waiting:(
