I hear ya man. A fresh new 2D Castlevania. They should pump those out @ least once a year.

Living, Ah I take it you have the import already? ;)

I\'m thinking of getting TH2. Not sure yet. I had to get Mario + CV as a bundle which is fine, but I also want F-Zero.

For the love of crap buy Super Dodge Ball.  Its a walk down nostalgia lane for anyone who played the NES version.

Picked mine up today along with the list of games as follows:

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Tony Hawk\'s Pro Skater 2
Mario Advance
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

In addition, I previously bought Metal Gear Solid awhile ago and was playing it thoroughly until my GBC got stolen, so I had to get a new one and now I get to play MGS on my GBA.  Yay for me.  That\'s some launch list and it appears I spent a lot of dough, but have a Birthday before a system launch is beautiful. :)

I got my GBA on Friday (it was an import) and so far I have Iridion 3D (it\'s total crap, don\'t waste your money on it) and THPS2 (it\'s the opposite of total crap, waste your money on it). I\'ll probably get Castlevania and Super Mario Advance for now, but there aren\'t any other games I\'m interested in coming out for a while.

Hey Ryu,

Care to share your thoughts on THPS2? :)

You know, I was going to hold off on a GBA until the GCN started using it as a controller, but I\'m really itching to play Super Mario on it...  Plus, they plan on rereleasing SMB3 in the future so I definitely want to be there...  We\'ll see if I\'m tempted into it.

Datamage:

As soon as I log a buncha more hours on it, I\'ll be happy to review it in this forum.  I figure I can put all my Nintendo related reviews in here and my PS2 related reviews in the main forum.  That\'s a nice way to seperate them in my opinion.  In addition, my first impressions on it, and this is after a good 5 hours of play, Kane said it best:
