I got my hands on a gameboy advance, Final Fight one and mario kart and I was a bit disapointed...
It turns out the SNES wasnt as good as I thought it was and most of the GBA games have a short life span...

Where are all the RPGS?! One thing I cant wait for will be all the SNES classics being ported...
But will they live up to our rose tinted memories?

Truthfully Mario Advance 2 is the first game that has excited me...
But think about the Donkey Kong Country games...
Will it happen?!

Isn't Mario Advance 2 out in another week or so, over here anyway?? I spose you'll get a better price on import anyway. I wanna get it too. I found Mario Advance quite boring, as I can't complete it, and some levels are just boring. I preffered it as Mario Bros. 2.
What are the chances that Mario Advance 3 will be like Super Mario 64?? Or will it be Mario RPG?

How can you be dissapointed with Mario Kart???
It's probably the best game out on the GBA at this moment in time! Try a four player battle-mode, then you'll change your mind!!

About the RPG's, there are some coming. Yes, there is a new Zelda on the way, but i'm not sure what kinda view it'll be? Golden Sun's also sposed to be good.

As long as they import A Link to the Past, GBA will be grrrrreat, a genius game and fun no matter how many times i play it... also Street Fighter 2 (Turbo is optional, i dont mind), a unique Zelda, and unique Mario and some other actual SNES classics, maybe Bommerman... how about Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, id love that... maybe some of the Srike series? Desert etc... and to round it off a good ol' FIFA game!!

Breath of Fire looks good, they need to port Harvest Moon that would rock.
