Has anyone noticed that, with a few exeptions (Golden Sun, Advance wars) the quality or originality of Game Boy Advance games has gone down lately.
First off, Nintendo has been making re-releases like the Mario Advance series. They are good (apart from the multiplayer that could have been changed/ upgraded for SMA 2) but don't we deserve a new game with a new storyline for the GBA.
Also, the games made by third person parties are of a lower standard.
Notice that in NOM, only two or three games have a silver award, and none have a gold.
We shouldn't have to put all our support in endless strings of sequels and remakes.

Well I for one am welcoming the sequel to Golden Sun with Open arms of enjoyment, maybe even Metroid Fusion as well.

Same here i now can get all the mario games that were on the snes.
They are some of the best games ever made, but i suppose you must be around 14 to not understand that people like old things.

I think everyone knew that Mario Advance 3 Yoshi's Island was coming out, in fact it will be in stores in Nov I think.

I wasn't saying that the old games are bad, just unoriginal.
Plus I also can't wait for the new (notice: new) games like Golden Sun 2.
But just look at the number of useless games out like Sabrina, Frogger, Pinball Advance and Driver 2 Advance.
Another point, why pay £30 for a remake game when you could get the NES or SNES originals for a tenth of the price.
Oh, and I am 14, how did you guess?
