Look at the release date on the page.
4/1/2003
April Fools Day
Plus even if it wasn't an April Fools joke, if it's gonna be released in about a month, don't you think we'd have seen some screen shots by now?

Sheesh! This is a real game, and has been on EB's release calendar for about 6 months now, though they have the date as March 5.

This is a real game, and not even the first GTA game for the Gameboy.

Why would a retailer want to make fools of its consumers? Bad business practice.

This was supposed to come out last Aug. or Oct. It is constantly pushed back, so I'm not sure it's coming out. It's not an April fools joke though.

As I said, perhaps it's not an April fools joke but as I said, if it's coming out any time soon we'd have seen some screen shots. I haven't found squat on IGN so I'm thinking this game is nowhere near close to release. In addition I'd be curious to see the wording of the Sony/Rockstar North agreement regarding console exclusivity for future GTA titles. While technically this is a "port" of GTA3 I'm still curious as to how if this would or wouldn't be a violation of that contract. Who knows though.
