Stu is completely right here, I mean advertising the GBA as 32-bit is kinda misleading since the graphics look a tad better than the SNES, which is great for old school gaming, but to suggest it's as powerful as a PSX is not right... the GBA 2d kicks ass though

How is it misleading to state the actual processing power of the machine? True, perhaps Nintendo were sort of giving the impression that it was a 3D machine, but well, it's 32-bit, sold as 32-bit, and played as a 32-bit 2D handheld. Well, at least it was in my case....
