Yep, the title is a bit obvious, but I can see Nintendo stealing the sales way from the PSone and from everything else for that matter. It's less than 3 months away now, so get counting the days because this little piece of Japanese madness is about to take over your life!
10 launch games. Non rip-off £79.99 price tag and the promise of true 2D and 3D gaming - with 32bits of LCD pushing power. Let Nintendo capture the nation's hearts once more - the most important sequel of all time is about to enter your life!
I can't wait for the GBA Tony Hawk's 2 - one of the best games on any format, is about to embark on the highest ever sales it will see in it's life thanks to the immense popularity of the GBA and this superb game!
We soon won't need to imagine performing all those amazing trickswhilst sitting on the bus, or waiting for the bus - train journeys need never be so boring again! 32 bit action on an excellent LCD mini screen. Why have 'portability' with a PSone and a £100 4 inch screen, when Nintendo are about to let a true portable games machine loose into Europe! And at only £80? That's quality!
So, with link up play for 4 players, and the ability to use the GBA as a Game Cube controller (offering lots if compatibility with that too), I can't see how anyone could possibly be disappointed with it.
It's small, it's light and it'll fit in your pocket, outlive every other console and probably outsell the 130million selling Game Boy original.
June 22nd is the day guys.
Thanks!

The GBA is one day away from me now (as long as the delivery comes in on time) I know what I'll be doing tomorrow lunch time at work.
Eating lunch.

I saw Being John Malkovich last night... good film.
I got the feeling that the bit where John enters his own head was... well, like a "oh well, that will do" thing, where the writer couldn't think of anything better... and I don't blame him, to be honest.

"he's not a lumberjack but he's okay,
he sleeps all night and he w**ks all day"

Statement:
I'm straight, and I like pink.
I also like flowers, things that smell nice,
chocolate and furry animals.
But I am NOT a lumberjack, and do not expect to follow this vocational route.

But by the way, why did you put straight in commas?
