"Gameboy Advance"

Apparently there are loads of 3D FPS coming out on the GBA with link support so that you can play deathmatches with your mates!!!
I think that would be excellent. What do you all think??

Wow, now I am getting excited, with the Japanese release date looming on the horizon, Nintendo is set for its attack. With Yoshi, Mario, Link, F-Zero and a load of other games and charachters on the GBA this system can't go far wrong. Try to remember back in the days, when you were playing F-Zero in the SNES. These games are going to be great, they are what gameplay is all about! You don't need 128-bits of this or that to play great games! All you need is a Gameboy Advance and a dash of that Nintendo Magic. The games will be great and people are so mad about them they are going to look at importing one. This is crazy...everyone has gone oficially bonkers even Rare themselves are looking for programmers to help with GBA game design, it is all very exciting and the only way you can be a part of this is by Pre-Ordering a GBA...Make Sure You DON'T Miss the Train! £15 and your sorted for the summer!

The Game

Rare have not yet said anything but what’s the chances of them not developing for the GBA? They were leading developers for the Snes with Donkey Kong and Killer Instinct. So with there experience with the Snes it should be easy to develop for the GBA.

Have Rareware said anything about there part in developing GBA software?? I cannot wait to see them work there magic on the new handheld. A Perfect Dark sequel would be nice!!!

'Scuse me, the Gameboy Advance being visually similar to that of the Super NES is not a bad thing at all - so much so, I've laid out £190 for an import machine come the end of March :)

Bring it on =)

Question: is the fact that the GBA is like a SNES a bad thing?
Some of the best games ever made where on the SNES.
And when the Game Boy was originally announced everybody said it would be great if it had SNES like graphics so the GBA is what everybody dreamed the Game Boy would be like.

GameboyAdvance looks great. Although the pictures are basically the same as a snes.
I heard of the Japanese launch titles and i hope they dump them for England. They look and sound rubbish. I am looking forward to the other titles though. The RPGs look awesome.
I heard that SquareSoft are making a final fantasy game for a handheld console. I really do hope they bring out a Final Fantasy game for it. Is this true???


I think Nintendo should give out more info on the console. I'M DESPERATE TO FIND OUT MORE. If any of u lot know anything please just post it up.


Oh yeh i have a question to ask u lot. Will the Gameboy Advance be able to download N64 games on to it??

What is going on?

Gameboy Advanced ready... but not?
Well, Nintendo’s Gameboy Advanced is finally ready, only we or anyone else aren’t going to be seeing it in the shops until around Summer time 2001. Why the delay you ask? Well it seems as if Nintendo have finally gone from the one company you could rely on to produce their hardware and software with satisfying true gamers in mind, to the kind of commercialised traits which Sony have used to propel their console to the forefront of the gaming sales market. They are postponing the Gameboy Advanced to squeeze every last drop of blood out of it’s predecessor, the original Gameboy. But can you blame Nintendo? The Gameboy is the best selling console of all time, and certainly seems to have a lot of sales life left in it, with the ever annoying phenomenon that is Pokemon gripping every pre-teen in all of Britain, America, and of course Japan (along with practically every other developed country). Any child who is socially inept enough to be without a Gameboy and several copies of Pokemon so far, will no doubt have these very items at the top of their Christmas list. So what may seem like a annoyingly greedy strategy is also infact an incredibly shrewd business decision. I suppose if a business is to survive in today’s multi-format world then it has to remain competitive, and if commercialising is the way then I guess it has to be. It looks like me and every other person who remember what the good ol’ times were like, will soon only be left with nostalgic memories of a time when video gaming was about innovative and exciting gameplay, and not about cashing in, FIFA-style endorsements.

I, like many others own a Game Boy Color, but will definatly be buying the GB Advance once it is released. With the power that little hand held can produce just imagine what titles we can look forward to over the next 4,5,6...maybe even 10 years. I think this has the potential to sell just aswell as the original GB/GBC.
With Mario Kart Advance already looking brilliant even though it is only 35% in production, we can ready ourselves for the most incredible games. One of the most ambitious titles announced has to be the classic Doom. How cool will it be playing a FPS on a hand held!
It was announced earlier in the week that Nintendo plans to have at least 1 million machines available for the launch date, so it wont be too much trouble getting hold of one, I will probably still pre-order one mind.

Now we all know that the GBA can play all older GB/GBC titles. But what I would like to know is if the GBA could somehow link up with the GBC and play all 2 player GBC titles? Anyone know if this will be possible?? Any thoughts???
