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!

But...if you owned both the N64 and GBA, and you had TH2 for the N64, would you bother getting it for the GBA as well?
I think the GBA market must be aimed at non console owners in the main. Although many N64 owners here will probably buy a GBA anyway.
Depends on how you like to play your games I suppose. If I had a mobile gaming need then I'd get a GBA, but I'd be grumpy about paying any more than £29 for one of it's games.

Good post Dan. Short too. ;0)
Tony Hawks looks... very suprisingly, good. Considering this is the "first bunch" of games to come out, it looks better than anything I could have hoped for.
June 22... I suppose if I start counting down to that, then E3 will seem a lot quicker...

I have yet to see someone sitting on a bus using a PSOne with a 4" screen.
Nintendo have the handheld market sewn up, there are no real competitors out there for them to worry about.
