Who here\'s getting the GBA?
« on: February 13, 2001, 01:25:30 AM »
I know for sure I am since I have a copy of MGS for the GBC (my GBC was left on the train so it went bye bye) and the GBA is backwards compatible with all the GB and GBC games so the GBA is a must have.  I can\'t wait for a lot of its games and hopefully, Square will find a way to get those FF titles on there soon... (and maybe even chrono trigger ;))  For the misinformed, the GBA\'s release date is scheduled for June 11, 2001.

Not I. If I get any future handheld, I\'ll probably get the Sega Nomad.. which is basically a Sega Genesis shrunk down to the size of a GameGear. It\'s got a HUGE library of games since all of the Genesis\'s titles work with it.

Sure it\'s a little less powerful.. but the games kick ass and I\'ve wanted one ever since they first came out. Plus it\'s got a few options that aren\'t available on the GBA, like a back-lit screen. Batteries won\'t be cheap for it, but there\'s gotta be alternate powersources out there. Batterypacks, converters for Lithium Ion batteries, stuff like that.

I probaply would as well, but my wallet says otherwise. It has just the money for FFIX and my savings are all going to PS2 -stuff. I don\'t have money for everything. I\'ve noticed that fact and revealed the reality...

But I\'m happy that I\'ve made my choice. PS2 it is. But if I win in lottery or get money from another source, I\'ll buy GBA because I\'ve never owned a handheld.

I\'m gonna hold out for the WonderSwan Color since it\'s PS2 compatable. If it doesn\'t come to the US I will get the GBA.

Sorry, I don\'t know the details either, but I do remember reading that it will have compatability.

That would rock as a color pocketstation type device. Or even if you could plug into the USB and play the WS games on your tv, with ENHANCED graphics. :)

I\'ve never enjoyed Handhelds either, but with CastleVania and F-zero, I can\'t help but be excited.

Hey, I love gaming on the road and Public Transportation is my best friend as far as getting around goes.  The two, imo, go hand-in-hand so it\'s a necessity for me. :) I wish they would hurry up and confirm FF 4, 5, and 6 though.  I want my FF fix fast and the WSC can\'t handle the mode 7 graphics of FF6.
