Sorry I left that part out, hehe.

Anyway, there is one more thing to mention. Even though the carts are exactly the same, more-or-less to the originals, except being one half the height, they have a stupid plastic lip at the top.

looks like sorta like this

So . . . . they don\'t fit in the protective cases like the old ones. If it weren\'t for this lip at the top, you could fit two GBA games in one Gameboy case. But no, you have to put them in sideways, so they rattle.

Don\'t know if any of you care, but it annoys me :) I like to keep my games in mint condition, so a case, for me, is a must.

Maybe a second party will release some soon like they\'re doing for the old ones *shrugs*

I know what you mean. I hate that there isn\'t a case to put the cartridges in. Though there are some cases you can import to store your GBA games. It\'s 3 cases for $4.99. Try http://www.ncsx.com I saw them there.

Hey, thanks!

Those cases are perfect, and the price isn\'t too bad either. I may just have to pick some up . . .

Well, I just got the game yesterday--my G/F bought it for me as a surprise present.
So far, I agree with everything Ryu said.
Great review man.
