This is so exciting. The Gameboy Advance 2 will have graphics slightly better than the Gameube.

Im pretty sure that everyone will say "I thought that Nintendo was all about gameplay!"

Not this time... HAHAHAH!!! Now its both...

Its nice to see them branching out but they should've just made the DS from the start a PDA'ish thing right out of the box instead of waiting til now to announce PDA'ish things.

Oh well, hearing this news isn't gonna make me want a DS anytime soon now. I just want a Game Boy Advanced

Hm... I don't think the market is ready for another handheld... They better wait a few years. If they launch something like a PSP with GameCube technology, the handheld will be exactly the same as the console one, IMO.
People prefer the PS2 over the GCN. They will prefer the PSP over the GB4.

Oh am I the only one who doesn't really believe this?

what if the new GBA plays gamecube games!?? the GC games are about the same size of UMD's .... then it'll be cool!

I'm with Canyarion.... Nintendo kind of threw a curve ball at fans with that announcement. People who waited for an awesome handheld from Nintendo got it in the DS and now they announce that a new handheld stronger than the DS is being launched.

Now what do the fans who have the DS but have no more money... do? Especially the fans who don't really NEED a PDA'ish DS.

I think they could wait a year... but its all up to them. OH... and btw.. Who said Nintendo wasn't in it for money?

And no one is angered that the DS was just a ploy to help keep the PSP out of the market? No one?

None of you think that it was deranged making thousands of people drop 150 for something that will be made obsolete within the next year?

If Nintendo goes through with the GBA2, I do think I may find myself boycotting the company and sticking with Sony.

That is my feeling as well. Screw the DS vs. PSP choice, it should be GBA 2 vs. PSP. Too bad it is coming out so much later than the PSP.

I really don't get you... nothing personal though.

Why do you want the fourth GB to play actual GC games? That means almost no software sales for the GB4. It will share the game sales with the GCN.
That's why I think Sony never launched that mini Playstation thing.

And PSP vs GB4.... with the GB4 having GCN graphics/techs... not good... PSP already has a huge headstart. And we all know that the GCN couldn't win that battle. Why try again???
