These are really amazing graphics for a handheld. I guess that little box has more power than we thought.

Yes, it looks sweet as hell. Too bad with the screens quality it wont look as cool.... stupid super reflective plastic!

Yup, I just finished watching the mpeg for it. Looks sweet as hell.

You could always buy the game then download a GBA and the THPS2 rom then play it on a nice big computer screen. Just an alternative...

Anyhoo, the game looks fine. Although I\'m not really interested in it since I already own the best version of this game.

looks very good to me!

Yes, it looks sweet - and I\'m going to buy the GBA and probably THPS2 as well

Ethugg, you\'ve never even seen the system, so how can you say that?

I have one, and the screen is quite good. It\'ll look about the same on there. If you have enough light, the screen looks great.

Yes Aaron, I believe the screen is good - but the only thing I hate in GameBoy Colour is the fact that you will have to have light in correct spot to see the full effect of the handheld.

So is it still better and clearer on GBA ( the screen ) aaron?

Plus, having enough light is always a problem.  I ended up getting one of those little lights that attaches that to my GBC, but by the time I add on all the little things, batt pack, screen cover, case, my GBC isn\'t so "portable" anymore.  

It\'s battery intensive, but it\'s waaaay better to go with a backlit version - like my gamegear... no matter where I am, bright day to darkest of night, I adjust the screen brightness, and the colors come through perfectly.

Wow, that\'s it, I have been convinced enough about the power of the GBA.  I was originaly going to save up and buy a Palm m505 because it had more colors than GBA, but this... this is it... Now I can buy GBA and a hell of a lot of Games and accesories.

BTW, what do the cartridges look like?

I think it is much better than the GBC screen. Just the fact that it is bigger, makes it easier to see. I think it is clearer as well. The only thing I don\'t like about the GBA is that it is very small, and it cramps your hands. I can\'t play more than 15-20 minutes of F-Zero before I have to take a break. I have small hands as well, so I don\'t know what people with large hands are going to do.

I just want to say that I\'m very impressed with the GBA. Yes, I also have one...After more than a month of (patient ) waiting for Upstate Games to ship it.

Anyways, the screen is actually pretty nice. Everythings really clear, especially when you get it in a nice spot under a lamp or some other light source. You don\'t need this much light to play or to see well but it sure looks the best that way.

How much would it cost to import with say, two games?

I\'m mostly interested in the SMB2 remake, but with all the hype surrounding this Tony Hawk game, I might have to take that for a test drive as well... or should i say: test skate! hahahahaha.... anyway, how much is it? ;]

-Eik

Another excellent reason to get GBA!!! It shows that the system will be a worthy and enjoyable successor to the best-selling system of all-time.

It looks great. I can\'t wait for games like Doom on GBA.
