Well, i have had it since January, so far i have 7 games:

ISS
Crash
Sonic
Mario Advance
Inpspector Gadget (it came with it...honest)
Baseball
Some space invaders game

All are pretty decent, ISS is the only one i play on though. Now the GBA isnt all that bad, these games are ok and i get/got some decent play out of them, but i rarely use it now, or buy anything new on it...and thats because there isnt much out on it.

What happened to all these great things that were promised? What happened to all the adverts? It all went quiet rather quick didnt it?

So, is there anything to look forward to this year? Or is my GBA going to be something i play on now and then when traveling on the train or something?

Any suggestions is what im after.

Mario Advance 2 is a must have.

Mario advance 3 will be out soon.

Sega are gonna bring Crazy taxi, monkey ball and Virtua Tennis to the GBA.

There are loads of games out for the GBA now. It jsut hard finding good ones amongst the huge variety available...

Nintendo expect to sell 50 Million GameCube's by March 2005. Just thought I'd add that :)
