Breath of Fire (Breath of Fire II has also been announced)



Golden Sun





I hope Sega/Camelot have enough sense to put out a Shining Force game for the GBA.

What did you think of the screen? Was their much glare off the plastic protector? Compare it to GBA.

The only thing I hate about screen shots is they are not actually shots off a screen.

I hope it is better than I expect.

i played a few games off the GB Advance at E3. brightness and glare didn't come up as in issue for me. I believe i have some video footage of games off the screen (as opposed to the screen shots you dislike ). If you can't find actual game shots, i'll try to post up the footage.

LOL, the people that are saying this must have had a different NES than I did.

UGH!! I already have a Game Boy Color... I have Mario, I play it a lot... I do NOT need this. That is even though Super Mario 2 was always my favorite of all the games, I love Final Fight, the best wrestling game ever (Fire Pro Wrestling), and Sega just announced that they'd be releasing some of their classics on the system! I must be strong to resist this

If you want a good place to get a GBA and import games, try http://www.tronixweb.com. They are fantastic to deal with. I got my GBA with Mario advance for $145 (which is maybe $10 more then the same US purchased system will cost) a month ago and love it. Amazing how small the GBA is.

I got the same package from them about 2 weeks ago.

If you're curious, stop by your local Wal-Mart's electronics section. I just played the GBA (Mario Advance) and thought it was very cool.

It's too late to get an import GBA. I dont' mean that in the most literal sense, but I mean, who can't wait 3 weeks? LOL

I can (and I'm getting mine on launch day)...
