I think they owe to us to make the kind of games we love and played. I feel lost and forgotten, like an old toy.

That's pretty much how I've felt about the Game Boy Advance. I bought it so I could relive the glory of the 16-bit days, but not to directly relive it! If I want to play all the Marios and a Link to the Past again, I'll whip out my Super Nintendo...Basically, I would be satisfied with the GBA, if and only if I get a NEW 2D Mario and Zelda. Otherwise, it sucks. The portable factor doesn't do anything for me. Oooh, I can play Super Mario World in the car know...who cares, I'm patient enought to wait to play that game at home. So, give me my new Mario and Zelda games Shiggy! I'm waiting...
