Chimps can barely hold sticks how can you expect to hold a game controller and enjoy yourself. Maybe you have fun by banging it on your cage.
3/4 eh? I guess your ancestors were the ones that didn\'t make the cut. Ah well. There is always the next million years. Maybe your descendants will evolve into something that can drink out of a cup without holding it with both hands and both feet.

I know he is a special chimp; but a chimp nonetheless.
BTW, I was watching a movie about chimps getting abused by the govt. It had Matthew Broderick in it and a he rescued a ton of chimps and put them on some island. It was hilarious. Especially when the chimps were flying the planes. It was kind of messed up when they killed that old chimp.

Therefore, the only time I\'d have to play would be when I\'m at home, but then why would I want to stare at a little screen and (as clyde pointed out) play rehashes of SNES games, when instead I could just play them on the original SNES, or just play my PSX/PS2?
To me handheld gaming seems more of a novelty than anything else, but different strokes for different folks I guess.

I would get one but then again i am well over 14 now and my balls have droped long before then, so sorry Nintendo you have missed the boat on that one again, gave up on Mario when i was still required to goto School everyday (Primary School that is "thats elementry School for non UK residents" ).
Pay through the nose for a hand held with old games and very linited capabilityes for 3d rendering.
Thats Probabily why all the old 2D Snes games are getting a "relaunch".
Mario Nope
Super Metroid "good game but why buy it a second time ?"
Zelda on the GBA is the only realy "good" thing going for it but still, why buy it a second time?
Why play that kind of money for a HANDHELD when i can just dust off my Snes i have in storage ?
If you ask me they shoud think along these lines
Oni in japanese means GHOST or DEMON
Nintendo should change there name to "Boat" and "missed" in Japanese,
They missed the Boat with the SONY partnership
They Missed the Boat with the Nintendo 64
Are they going for a HAT TRICK (Football/Soccer slang for 3 in a row) with the GBA ?
And if Nintendo think i am going to play + £30 for a HANDHELD GAME THEN THEY HAVE ANOTHER THING COMMING.
My only consern is that, is this a insight into Nintendos plans for there future, "Screw all the Older gamers lets concentrate on kids".
Oh Dear God please prevent them from doing another N64 with the nintendo Game Cube.
But i can tell you this...
The GBA will be the UK leading Handheld, but then again when it is launched in the UK the only other handheld will be THE GAME BOY COLOUR !
Post by: on March 18, 2001, 04:06:19 AM
The reason the Gameboy is so successful is because is cuts the fine line between performance and functionality. The proof is in the competition.
Game Gear - Dead
Nomad - Dead
Lynx - Dead
Wonderswan - Dead
Neo Geo Pocket Colour - Dead
Wonderswan Colour - Most likely dead as soon as Square stops supporting it
Red Jade - Dead before it even got started.
And there are others.
Its a damn portable, to be able to play a new or even enhanced 2D version of Metroid on the road is well worth the price of admission imo.
Nintendo is being so clever releasing the ports right now:
1. Doesn\'t take up too many resources so they can focus on the Cube.
2. Will appeal to all the old school gamers who loved these games.
3. There\'s a whole new generation of gamers who have never even played these classic before.
Post by: ooseven on March 18, 2001, 04:25:06 AM
What i don\'t object to is nintendo making kiddie games on the GBA will not take anything away fron the Game Cube.
But what i do Object to is the continual alienation of any gamer over 14 and trying to rip us of, Nintendo must be trying to win anward for shooting themself in the foot.
Other systems have there budget ranges for example the value range in the UK wher you can pick up a Brand new relaunched PSX game for about £10.
Nintendo are going for the even older game for £30
As if we are going to fall for that again.
Nintendo Playstation ( Nah lets Crap on Sony)
SONY gets pissed of and carries on with the project to launch the SONY PLAYSTATION, a CD cbased console with the name that NINTENDO where going to use.
There are around 57 million PSX world wide now, nintendo gets bitter and reveals the launch of the N64
The launch of the N64 with a cartrage system while Sony and Sega have CD base ones (playstation and Saturn). What do they do Crap on all of us by an extreme height by releaseing a very slow line of expensive kiddie games (everyone else has to wait years for ZELDA and Perfect dark :mad: )
the saturn fall by the way side only to be replaced by the superb Dreamcast a few short years later. The Dreamcast out sells the Nintendo and Playstation but then we all know what happened next.
Nintendo tryes for the Final Fantasy 7 after a long line of them, Again they crap on Squaresoft and they hand over a N64 project to The Playstation, FF7 then gose on to be one of the all time greats and imspires a whle batch of RPG\'s to appear on the PSX.
And all the while gamers over 14 are finding it hard to find a more mature game to play on the N64
Adult games on the N64 you can count them on one hand
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Turock series
Quake 2
Again i can tell you this...
The GBA will be the UK leading Handheld, but then again when it is launched in the UK the only other handheld will be THE GAME BOY COLOUR !
and you will be laughed at if you are over 14 when you buy it.
Post by: on March 18, 2001, 04:30:27 AM
GBA will do to handheld gaming what this generation (PS) did to console gaming: Take it truly mainstream.
Don\'t start with the Nintendo kiddy crap, that\'s just the stupidest argument and shows people\'s true shallowness.

Sorry i was just stating the obvius that nearly all ofthe Nintendo games over here are kiddie in style.
Not mush for anyone over 14 here.
i am sorry untill nintendo prove that they can be trusted then i will accept your agrgument, and not before.
Got my fingers well and trully burned with the N64, and the feasco of having to buy a RAM upgrade inoder to play the full game of Perfect dark.
The ReHASH launch of some hopless games on as suposed Next gen HANDHELD dose not impress me at all. Yup they will look exactly the same but we want £30
each forthem.
if you realy want them games you can pick up a SNES and a whole batch of games for a fraction of the price.
i could get you a SNES Plaus 20 games for under £100
even less if you look harder.
Nintendo has always targeted the "younger" age group and shyed way from more mature titles, just look at conkers bad fur day for example.
The hand it over becasue they do not want to be lables releaseing a mature game.
Look at the "remodle" of the N64, yeah leats make it have a pokemon theme that will attract the older games to play with perfect dark.
i am sorry but in my eyes Nintendo are as Evil as Disney, they will suger cost anything if there is profit to be had.
Buy a Gameboy Advance ?

What about Ogre Battle 64, Rouge Squadron, Battle for Naboo, or Madden 2001. Oh yeah, I forgot, those games don\'t have any blood or sex in them. Adults (or people who like to think they are) can\'t play games without blood and sex in them. Nevermind that 15 years everybody, adults and children alike, played games like Mario and Zelda, because that\'s just not good enough anymore. Now that we\'ve seen the glory of games like Night Trap, there\'s no going back.
Post by: Darth Joyda on March 18, 2001, 08:32:27 AM
Please don\'t go back into that kiddie thing. It\'s a matter of opinion still.
Let me back up GameBoy a bit.
I will buy it. If I have money. This decision has its roots deep in my childhood, and maybe the acts I did lead me to this decision, who knows?
I actually buy this handheld for its pure nostalgia, and the love I have in Nintendo. Don\'t talk about respect. Conker\'s Bad Fur Day drove the respect towards Nintendo 64 away for good. I still respect Nintendo \'tho.
Maybe I loved Starfox and Mario Kart and all those games ( being kiddish you say ) because I was a Kid. But I grew into them, literally. And today I can\'t judge them because they\'re supposed to be kiddish. Maybe it\'s a fact. They are. But does the fact change your judgement? They\'re great games nonetheless.
Nintendo 64 was a console I didn\'t like. I didn\'t like it, but kiddishness had nothing to do with it. I just didn\'t like the blurry graphics and over-priced games + the lack of 3rd party developers.
GameBoy Advanced just is my dreams come true. A handheld to play your favourite Snes games with. I just hate emulators, but Snes emulators have been the only way to play my old games after good-ol\' snes broke. Now I will buy GBA just to experience the Snes refreshed, and in handheld form :)
Post by: Black Samurai on March 18, 2001, 08:51:52 AM
I would much rather have a GBA that I can play while I fly across country without changing the batteries over a GameGear/Lynx/Wonderswan that I can only get to the runway before the batteries are low.
You guys are acting like there are going to be no good games on this thing. EVERYBODY is working on it. This is an excellent financial endeavor for developers. This is a piece of hardware that can generally have more than twice the installed userbase of any console and that, to me, is amazing in itself.

PSONE.......
You see, If you buy this and an LCD screen it will probably cost you a nice total of $200, or if you get a really nice LCD screen it could cost you even up to $250. It is a lot but well worth it to me.
This puppy is the way to travel. As long as you\'ve got a cigaretter lighter power input in your car or a power converter you can take it anywhere. In practically all airlines they also have those lighter plug-ins underneath your seat so you can still play it on airplanes too.
In other words, I\'d rather be playing FF9 or RE2 then Super Mario Brothers 2 made for the original Nintendo. Playstation has been my favorite system of all time and the PSONE was my dream come true.
So if I really wanted to go back to old-school video gaming, then I can buy a GBA, which I probably will eventually. But, if I didn\'t want to go back I would get a PSONE. Anyone else feel this way? Just curious....

Quote
Thats Probabily why all the old 2D Snes games are getting a "relaunch".
There will be a lot of \'relaunched\' games on the GBA but there will be a lot [more] sequels, or games based on the SNES games with more added to them (ie: Mario Advanced is based on the graphics and gameplay of Mario 2, but its not just a port--theres lots of new stuff and levels if I remember right).
Quote
Mario Nope

Zelda on the GBA is the only realy "good" thing going for it but still, why buy it a second time?
You won\'t be buying them for the second time. They won\'t just be ports, they\'ll be new games. They might use the same engines or graphics, but they\'ll be new games or games with lots of changes to them. I like the thought of playing Mario, Zelda, Metroid, MegaMan on the GBA.
Quote
Why play that kind of money for a HANDHELD when i can just dust off my Snes i have in storage ?
Because you can\'t take the SNES, or any other console for that matter, on the road with you, into school or work, and then shove it into your pocket when you\'re done. Besides, the SNES is dead--the GBA isn\'t. It has the best support of any system out there and there will be plenty of new ideas and games out there.

Missed the boat? You mean the proposed SNES CD Add-on? (If not, then ignore this part) You call that missing the boat? No, that was more like beingn smart. Look at the big successeshat the Sega CD and 32X were! Add-ons aren\'t a good idea, and I don\'t think the CD add-on for the SNES would have been any better. You say that they missed the boat now because sony did awesome with the psx, but it was a good business decision for them back in the SNES days.

Do you think that was the way Nintendo wanted it? Do you think that they purposely worked it out to be lilke taht? NO, they didn\'t.

And now you have the best support of any system, even the support of Sega and [possibly] Square... On a more advanced system that is very capable. To top it off, it has online capabilities, its backwards compatible, and its a very easy system to develop for. Can anyone say homebrewn games? There is going to be a ton of GBA DEV sites out there. This will be my first system to develop for because it uses C++, I believe.

Why should the GBA suck if the PS2 doesn\'t suck? What do they both have/going to have? Awesome games. Sure, the Ps2 is a next generation console with sweet graphics, but the GBA is like... the return of 2D gaming and "old-style" gameplay.

I still don\'t get why this is still here. I\'m telling ya, this would have not remained if someone else posted it.
I mean, wasn\'t there this big stink about off-topic off-ps2 threads going on here?
Pretty bad double standards me thinks.

Ah a Fool and his money ARE easily parted, you would pay 10 times the price for a old news paper wouldn\'t you ?

And any other company is different?
Yeah but no other company has remodled it to look like a kid\'s toy

or you could just get
Metal Gear solid 2
and
Silent Hill 2
when they come out, which could be around the same time as the GBA release.
But the Dreamcast Idea is realy good :D.

maybe a psOne, LCD screeen + battery pack will be a good idea, but thats kinda expensive :(

Looks like your head is up your ass. I\'d shoot myself if there wern\'t any Tetris fans on this board, that game was huge . Adults and kids enjoyed that game because it was fun and challenging. your statement was very ignorant. Saying fanboys would like it is just plain dumb. Thats like saying FFX will only appeal to fanboys.
I guess the 30million++ people who bought the original Tetris were all fanboys and kiddies right? :rolleyes:

Head Up my Ass, my my i seem to have touched a nerve ?
(note to self do not meantion the word Kiddie and Nintendo in the same post , look ooseven i know it\'s hard but you realy must try, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ANOTHER POKEMON GAME COMMING FOR THE KIDS :mad: ).
just beacuse i won\'t bend over and let Nintendo so stuff that would make The Village people CRY :crying: ?
Look it\'s simple MATH !
$90 + $30 for an "ADVANCED" Handheld and a very limited amount of Orinional games ?
yeah oh i just can\'t what to play tetris again but this time with a few more Colours and on the move.
if you realy want that game that much my not splash out on a 2nd hand Gameboy Classic ?
you will be saving yourself $$$$$$$$$$$\'s or £££££££££\'s
SO Tell me what else do i get for my money if i BUY the GBA ?
Well ?
For that price i expect it to Make me cups of Coffee too :p.
Post by: on March 20, 2001, 02:11:43 PM
The price for the GBA and the games is not that expensive in this day and age. If you want cheap games there is always pick-up sticks & lincoln logs :)
I also agree with several members in that Nintendo or 2-D games are NOT just kid games. We all know a games success is in the \'fun\' factor which is certainly not limited to 3-D games w/blood, cursing, and sex.

This statement shows that you do not know much about the GBA. The same can be said about the PS2(Plus about $200). The GBA has EVERY major developer that is working on the PS2 and then some.

If you expect the GBA to make you coffee, I can only imagine what you want your PS2 to do. ;)

Oh yeah, just like Fanyboys and kiddies were the only ones who bought Final Fantasy Anthology, Midway Arcade Classics, Namco Museum Vol. 1-3, Intellivision Classics, and are now drooling over Chrono Tigger and Final Fantasy 4 re-releases. Need I remind you that those were $30-50 games for a $300 system, a system which is far from being portable.
But the GBA isn\'t just about recycled ports. Sure, here at the lauch there\'s several ports of SNES games that people have been saying they\'d love to see GBA, but once those are out of the way we\'re going to see a lot of original content. Already we\'re getting a new 2D Castlevania game (and anyone who\'s not excited about that, needs to be slapped), a new Tactics Ogre game, a new Fire Emblem game, plus totally original games like Golden Sun and Magical Vacation (don\'t let the name throw you, it\'s an RPG made by some of the original SoM team and in the same style as SoM).
But hey, if you don\'t want a GBA, go knock yourself out with a Wonderswan. You\'ll save about $20 on the system, spend the same ammount on games, have about 10% of the 3rd party support, and get good NES graphics. It\'s not really not a bad little system. I\'d probably get one if it ever came out in the US.

Wow, that was a great comeback. Because you, personally, don\'t like handheld gaming, you think that they only people that are going to buy it and like it are kids and fanboys? If thats what you think... No, I don\'t think you\'d be that stupid to think that.
Oh, yeah, nice screenshot you posted. That must be the cream of the crop, there. :rolleyes:
Thats like going and posting one of those Japanese PS2 launch crappy 3rd party games, displaying its pictures, and saying the same thing.
Here are a few other screenshots that show the power of the GBA better:

![]("http://www.gameboy.com/mariokartadvance/1.jpg")
![]("http://www.gameboy.com/goldensun/goldensun1.jpg")
These are some of the other titles that definately look better than that simple Tetris screenshot. And I\'ll say this again: Its not going to be just the SNES over again! Sure, there are going to be a lot of ports and sequels, but you\'re going to see a ton of new games. Add in the fact that its portable, more powerful, has a ton of developer support, will have lots of home-developer support, is backwards compatible, and has online play, and you have a potentially fun gaming system with a future.

Me like Tetris, and I\'m getting GBA. I\'m a fanbo... heeeyyy, wait a minute!
Stuff like this really makes me mad--Right, I\'m a fanboy because I\'ll be getting one of the best gaming machines in the next generation. Okay, it doesn\'t do 3D a whole lot! Big whoop! Get your awesome 3D on the PS2, the GBA is going to bring back all that awesome 2D fun and old-style gameplay that was lost (some of it, at least) with the advent of 3D. Me like fireworks, and I\'m getting a PS2. I\'m a fanbo...

I thought the GBA was 32-bit graphics?
It is. He just showed a really bad screenshot of the system\'s capabilties.

You don\'t get it--Its not just a port-box. Heck, with the amount of developers on the GBA, even if they did port every worth while game, they\'d run out of titles to port in a big hurry.

SO Tell me what else do i get for my money if i BUY the GBA ?
All the games 3rd parties can make.
There will be many original titles. And if you look at the ports that are announced now, almost all of them will include more levels, tracks, characters, etc....
