  • GB Advance is out... I can't wait to get my hands on one.  I think I'm gonna pick up the Castlevania game (which has gotten great reviews) and the two GBC Zelda games (the GBA is backwards compatible)

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Beats me. All they have are tired old rehashes...Dodge Ball, Castlevania, Metroid, Tactics Ogre, F-Zero. You also have to buy one whole cartridge to play multiplayer games! Not to mention I'll be spending most of my time travelling to play the damn thing.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The games may look uncannily like those of the SNES, but as a guy who fires up his SNES(or ZSNES) up rather frequently, I consider that a good thing.

Another plus is that me buds and I can play a four way game of F-Zero with only one cartridge between us.

Add that to the fact that I make quite a few trips a year and the GBA is my new friend.</div>
