"Game Boy Advance to help Nintendo sales push!"

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!

Gamesquare? I can't remember that...

What about the GameSquare?

Nah, all the Gamegirl was, was a pink gameboy.

(Silenced all the feminists, AND managed to prove an age old stereotype. God bless Nintendo.)

Tony Hawk will become an N64 game, in a store near you when i can find out! :D

Nah, the GB will keep going strong, just like the PSOne is doing now! With such a huge userbase, games companies would be crazy to leave the GBC!

What was the GameGirl all about then? I'm sure it was in colour first!

So what's going to happen to all the Gameboys and Gameboy Colour's on the market. About 130 million of them?

We could ship them to the third world and use them as bricks to build housing.

So SR should start this 'Hand in your Handheld' scheme, whereby everyone swaps their GB for part exchange towards the GBA, and then SR puts all the old GB's to good use.

What that use would actually be I have no idea, but there must be a use for all those redundant GB's that are going to be knocking about.

Yes FREE!!!

Great isn't it. Pre-order with £15, pay the difference and get a £10 adaptor too! Excellent.

THPS2 isn't on the N64.
But everyone wants to be part of an actively new and lively living community and Nintendo are about to offer just that. With the N64, I feel people are getting fed up of waiting 3 months for the next game to be released, so the GBA will definitely (take note people on how to spell definitely) bring with it a breath of fresh air!

Keep the discussions going guys!

Actually, if Nintendo can work on a 4 player link-up Ready 2 Rumble 2, then I'd get that again too!

Free? FREE?? I like the sound of that.

Grix - I was going to repost a Tony Hawk's 2 review, but then I realised it would be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, so I changed my mind, and this is better.

Thanks - I can't wait for the GBA! Let's hope SR honour their 'free mains adaptor' offer :)
