GBA is a huge leap forward from the GBC. Sure, it aint as powerful as a PSone, but it can do anything the SNES/Megadrive could.

You'll see this when Sonic Advance and Mario Advance 2(Super mario world) come out. Look exactly the same as what you saw on the SNES/Megadrive.

GBA does have its problems though, the main point being the quality of the screen. Its not perfect, and some games can be hard to see. But its only with a few games, only really Tony hawks is "dark" from my experience anyway. Mario Kart is a wicked current example of how the Gameboy has advanced.

PsOne = 32 bit
GBA = 32 bit

GBA 'looks worse' becasue it has to run the games in a smaller space and on an LCD screen (I think)

Do you mean the same as the GBC? If you do you haven't seen titles such as Wario Land 4, V-Rally 3, Mario Kart Advance and so on.

All you have to do is compare the two Monsters Inc games, that'll show you the difference in the graphics.

Same as GBC? You have got to be joking! GBA looks a million times better, because it is 4 times more powerful! (as powerful as a PSone!)
