There is news floating around at work that when the GBA is released in the UK a special adapter will be released so that you can also play your SNES game on the GBA!

I am sorry but I may have to go and lie down! play any SNES game on the GBA,play any SNES game on the GBA while walking around the house, while sitting in a car, no leads, phwewww calm down, this is soo good! and even if Nintendo say no to this add-on the great news is that some company has already got an unofficial one planned.

and more news GBA game no more then £30 and the GBA no more then £70! yeahh great!

(and this unofficail add-on for the GBA,it will probably cost about £40 but then again there is 'talks' of an arieal with this one so u can watch terrestrial channels!)

What do you think?

Please tell me that such an adaptor exists and that it'll be released in the U.S. as well.

If it is true then WAHOOO!

But I reckon the device will look a bit strange cos from what I've heard the GBA carts are exactly the same physical size as the GB carts so it may look a bit strange when trying to play your fav. SNES games on the GBA.

The only downside is that the only way people will be able to play SENS games if they haven't already got any will be to hope they are made as an Advance version

it ain't a rumour unless Nintendo have lied to Eidos!
On wednesday nearly all 3rd parties got a 20 page work, outlining the price and stats of the GBA, how it has changed in the past 2 months, when they want deadlines for UK launch by, I cannot tell anyone much more, but the UK date is suprisingly good! You have all launch games from Japan and Nintendo will probably do a bundle at launch say something like £120 for the GBA, multilink, and 2 games, one being a dodgy game and one being brilliant.

Thats all I can say.

All this about "No more than £30 a game and £70 a GBA" and all this about a Snes adaptor.

It's far too good to be true. Where's your source? Are you sure it's not just some rumour you've heard?
