Well for a start it will solve all your travelling boredom. Do you realise it takes 8 hours to get to the states, and believe me, looking at the map won't help! But a GBA will! The GBA will play all the old Gameboy Colour games and even the very first Tetris you have when you were 10. You can change the size of the screen for the old games and although mario will look even fatter and stupier than ever if you stretch the screen you will at least get a good laugh! I don't know if there will be a worm light because like the GBC the GBA will have a non-backlit refl;ective screen, this will save you batteries, but if you can charge up 10 hours of playing time in 2 hours who cares, I want a back-light! But I am not moaning. I am not over excited about the 4 player link up because although it sounds good there are very few of us who will play together. I mean Tony Ali Marth and Jill might have a whale of a time but as for the rest of us, I don't think we'll be going down the local for a GBA extravaganza!

I also don't like the look of these overly detailed games.I would rather a Mario Kart Advance or Cartoony RPG over any of these fancy Strategy types!

All In all I would say it would be best to get one, not because you need to but because you WANT to, and you know it!
