> Then the Playstation 2 looks like a Playstation then...
Do you mean the machine, or just the words?
If its the words, then you`re very close!
this is an subliminal message
PRE ORDER THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE
!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Game: Sherlock Homes 2
I can't wait for the GBA, I'll have to wait like the rest of us, so there is no real point moaning about it, I am also glad to see some of the good titles out for release. And because although, the titles are mainly new versions of 16-Bit classics, they are quite a strong collection of games, something that many say the Playstation 2 didn't really have.
£80!!! Coooooooool, I am glad to see that Nintendo aren't taking advantage of the fact that so many people want the GBA, they could put the price up another £20-£30 and still people would buy it! I think the figure is a great one, and very generous especially as it will be able to play all the older Gameboy-based games.
One title that I would like to see is a 1080 advanced, it wouldn't have to be brilliant, say about 15 tracks, 10 boarders, link-up would be nice. A bit like the original but, more caroony, and I know, I know! Nintendo are trying to get away from that look but only with the GBA, mega detailled games never look quite the part the more cartoony ones do on the GB's. I think 1080 with Harvest Moon 64 type graphics would be best!
I don't know how much the games will cost, I would say that because the £80 is 20% of the original price we might see the same ratio on the games, making a £30 game £24...not bad for a state of the art handheld game...wouldn't you agree?!
I am glad to see that our June Release Date has been brought forward, and because the dates are so close together it is more evidence to suggest that the machine doesn't have any regional limitations like the system of the past! I have longed to play Ogre Battle 64 and Harvest Moon 64 on my N64, and finally with the milti-region GBA I won't have to be disappointed in the same way!
Overall I am very happy about the way Nintendo have reacted to the market. Their future looks great, I hope they have a very successful one and I am sure they will.
