There's no original stuff on it.

Ok, sorry, that didn't rhyme but I'm not here to be a MC.

I'm here to rantttttt! YEAHHHHH! I love ranting.

Erm...well...here's the deal dudes, I've got a holiday I'm going on to Greece on Saturday night and I'm going for 2 weeks. Now, this plce I'm going to is meant to be for Grannys and I think I'm right in sayign that. So, 2 weeks in this place isn't very good because I went somewhere last year for 2 weeks and was bored in the second.

So what will help me through boredom? Or just times when everyones sunbathing and not doing much at all?

My GBA, that's what.

But will it?

I mean, come on Nintendo, you're an original games company so why can't you put like some original stuff on this great little handheld instead of SNES ports. Ok, the SNES can be cool but it was years ago and I've played Mario to death. I can't keep playing Mario, I'll get bored and won't buy Mario Sunshine because of it. You can only have so much of that fat plumber.

Talking to Nintendo I was there, not you lot. Doubt they'll read it.

Anyway, so I was looking for a game and throughout my search I saw that Advance Wars is the only one that deserves a pat on the back. I played it for a while at a friends house and it reminded me of chess. But, chess can be cool...right?

Advance Wars is full of originality and has some great visuals, it just left me thinking - Why can't Nintendo put their heads down and create some new, original games for my little handheld?

It's stupid, that machine has so much potential and all I'm getting is Disney stuff...and I don't like Disney.

They've got all this stuff coming out on Gamecube but all the GBA has is Kirby. Wow.

Zelda is coming on it, I'll probably get that, but it's like all the other Zeldas just different plot.

I WANT NEW STUFF!

I say get an RPG or the Advance Wars for your holiday. Golden Sun looks sweet to me...

Shame I have no GBA though. Oh, and the Zelda game (a Link To The Past) for GBA can be up to 4 players, not just 2, and I think I'm right in saying the multiplay is a new (miniture I'm assuming...) adventure that can be played co-operatively or against each other.

Also, get Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island when it's out, unless you've already played it. In my opinion that was easily one of the best SNES games around. Along with Donkey Kong Country 3.

But enough of my babbling, Nintendo DO need to come up with some new GBA titles, and if they start to do so I think it will help boost the console significantly. The GBA-GC interactivity is all well and good, but if there are no original games on the GBA from Nintendo themselves, what are the GC games going to interact with...?

Well Advance Wars IS a Nintendo game, but if you're really at a loss, get Golden Sun.

I never had a snes so i'm happy to have all these ports as they're like new games to me.

And sorry to disapoint you but the new zelda is also a port but will have a two player mode with it.
And i'm sure when nintendo run out of snes games to port, they'll create a new mario or zelda game to entertain us with.
