The Gameboy Advance.
I am looking forward to seeing it, not sure on buying it. I suppose four player Mario Kart would be fun, as will using it with the Gamecube...
Any comments? Any at all?

It was back in the 80's when Video Arcades were all we had to play with. However, it is worthwhile remembering that the Japanese live in VERY small houses, and therefore are more likely to want to get out and move about a bit. And to play games at the same time to take their minds off the fact that they live in small houses. I heard a rumor that after the Advance will come the Gameboy Semi-Detached.

I totally agree, console gaming is much better with a chair, not on the move.
The whole point of going out is not to play video games anyway.

It DOES have a 32-bit processor, so for a handheld that IS impressive, but it is still a handheld. I like to play sitting down at home, so PC or console suits me, and the added power of course of all those extra Mhz.

I suppose its a lot like PSone in many ways.
Smaller, but just the same.

"- those currently developing for it have compared it to the SNES in terms of power. However, Nintendo have yet to release any official images of the console itself or in action."

I wonder why not?

Yes, I'll put this one on my Christmas list, not.

"Like the introduction of the Game Boy Colour the Game Boy Advance is less a brand new machine and more of brand new version of an existing machine."

Hey don't worry, something to talk about!
Why don't you like it? Just the kinda 2D perspective of every game? They are saying they would be able to make some 3D games on it, (just like Star Fox graphics mind.)

I'm not normally opinionated as you know Grix, but I wouldn't touch the Advance with a bargepole. (Hey, I didn't use brackets that time either!!) oops.
