So that's why there are officially only 4 games for the GBA's Japanese release which are:
Mario Advance
Kuru Kuru Kururin
F-Zero
Napoleon

The GBA's UK price is expected to be around £80 and the games around £25.
Snake I think you should check your facts before posting your messages!
I've told you the release games so here are the other games that ARE in development for release soon after the GBA's release:
Castlevania
Wings
Top Gear GT
Waiwai racing
Mario Kart
Magical Vacation
Ouga Gaiden
Golden Sun
Pinobee
Mr Driller 2
Golf Master
Bomberman
These are all being made for the Japanese at the mo but we might see some changes to the UK releases.

I actually think they will get MKA out for release Edgy... but I couldn't be sure.
Hmmmm... bet u any money the GBA will launch with loads of the games u say it won't...
Nintendo would rather delay launch, rather than launch without Mario cart advance! It will happen... people got so annoyed by the lack of games for the N64 (only 4 games, 3 months after release), that the sales crashed... Nintendo will work overtime to get all their all star line up on the console.
