from distributors to retailers. while some big places may hold on to them until the units arrive, my store is going to sell them now.

That's damn cool, thanks for posting this.. Local store just got them and I am going to head out at lunch and pick up a copy. I had been debating Pitfall and EWJ (and the shooter that is out) but wasn't sure, but I know I want Tony Hawk 2!

Anyone played either Pitfall or EWJ? They interest me but at $40 a game I am going to have to be a bit more choosy for GBA games.

I'd reccomend getting the games somewhere else than a games store (EB, Babbages, etc.). I got a Wal-Mart Flyer and they had Mario and F-Zero advertised at $29.99, where EB has them for $34.99. Hopefully the games that EB has for $39.99 will be at Wal-Mart for $34.99

Walmart and Target are selling the GBA for $90. Walmart really clobbers the bundles from EB. Don't forget EB has the trade any 4 GB games for 1 GBA game.

I sure hope that Wal-Mart and others sell the games cheaper then $39.. But the EB trade in deal is pretty cool if you think about it, since you don't even need instructions or boxes.. I wonder if there are any restrictions on what games you can trade in.

I played a bit of Tony Hawk 2 and was quite amazed. For a handheld system (and such a small cartridge) they packed a lot in there. It has the career mode where you have to earn $$ to unlock the events, and it really does feel 3D - even if it is hard to see on the small screen.

If this is representative of the games to come on the GBA, I'm impressed!

Just called...they're selling TH2 for $59.99 CDN. I'm going to buy it anyways. So I'll have 2 GBA games (Final Fight Jap, TH2) and no system.

Ok, we got this in today, and all I can say is OH MY GOD! If you don't get this game w/ your GBA you are on crack! It's insanely good, but the controls take alot of getting used to.
