  • So was the GBA SP Nintendo's big announcement, or do they have something else coming?

  • 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 ; text-align: left; '>Seems the "megaton" announcement was a rumor in one magazine that got spread. I'd expect some big announcements in the next few months, but nothing hyped up.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's a Gamecube announcement. I've heard that they're coming out with a smaller version of the Gamecube that would cost under $100 US, but more likely they'd just lower the price of the existing one to that.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>C'mon! They need to make the 'Cube the first system in history to be smaller than the original controller of a competing console. I mean, it's almost that way now!</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Last time I say this but...u guys are freaks. Nobody I know (including myself) can use the new S controller with hitting unintended buttons...it's way too tiny! The original Xbox controller, however, is perfect. You all must be unnaturally tiny...leave your computers & get excercise or something.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I think that might be for another reason. The Dramcast controller is quite big, but I had that problem of hitting unintended buttons for almost a year. Once you get used to it (and it does take a long time), it's among the best of controllers.</div>
