So who has pre-purchased the GBA?

Thanks for the review Aaron

I absolutely love the original F-Zero, so F-Zero Top Velocity is a must-buy for me at the launch. I will also buy Rayman Advance ( GREAT graphics ), Super Mario Advance and Namco Museum ( well, don\'t remember the name exactly, but the game has Ms. Pacman in it, so it is a must buy ).

One more question - can you play Game Boy Colour games on GBA?

The main problem with Nintendo\'s portables is the fact that they sacrifice light quality for space/batteryroom.

I mean, I own a gamegear and a GBC... the gamegear is 100X better, cause in the brightest day, or darkest night, the brightness knob lets me attain perfect colors.  My GBC is only playable with a strong backlight, or with addons that make it much larger than any portable has the right to be.

I\'ve already pre-ordered mine.
Some time ago, in one of his sporadic visits, my little bro\' stole my GB to play Pokemon, and since then i don\'t have any working handheld :rpissed:.

Besides i\'m impressed with the overall quality of the system, i need it to play my old Tetris and i prefer portability and battery durability over a retro-iluminated screen( bad experiences with the GG and its 4 hours of battery life).
I also hope i could play some good old school RPGs with it.

PS: Pokemon, pffffttt.

Joyda, you can play GBC games on it. If you hit the top shoulder buttons you can re-size the screen too. This isn\'t too useful, but for certain games like Revenge of the Gator, it looks good. The GBC cartridges are twice as tall as GBA ones,so they stick out about an inch and a half out the back. It looks kind of stupid. The GBA cartridges are very very tiny.
