It seems to me that Nintendo are becoming a bit lazy in terms of the GameBoy games.
For the GBColor, you had games like Zelda DX, Tetris DX, Mario Bros DX, etc... Admittedly they are great games, but at the end of it all, they are just color updates.

Now with the GBAdvance, we are getting games like Mario Advance (based on a fifteen year old game that was even a Mario game), Mario Kart Advance, and F-Zero advance.

I have to stress that I do not think for one moment that they are bad games, it's just that I want Nintendo to come up with new ideas and games.

When are we ever going to see the true Super Mario Land 3?

Nintendo are known and respected worldwide for their innovation, so a little more effort with GBAdvance games wouldn't go amiss.

Of course the GC is out this year....I mean Nintendo's word is like gold...you know it's worth loads, and er...I'll think of a second one!

The gamecube will be good, I bet quite a few 'was going to get a PS2 but now i realise they suck' people will get one!

The Game

I am not Console-ist, I just prefer Nintendo! Lol.

Look. We can have both machines. We can live in harmony. I don't give a rats bottom if Ant wants a PS2 more than a Gamecube. I want a Gamecube, and that's all that matters. And it WILL be released this year. I promise you.

Nope there Nintendo UK now, since the Game Ltd have lost the rights. So it's this year, and they say that.

You don't know that yet.

Rare set a launch date for PDark, and a couple of months later, it finally came out.

I would use another example, but I can see me getting some stupid replies.

This year. It's good news for us Nintendo fans at least we'll have a console that can save us from the PS2 madness.
It will be a fresh new start of Nintendo next gen era.

It is, supposedly.

I'm betting on Jan-Feb 2002, though.
