The gba is one of my favourite consoles and my favourite handheld (although I'm fond of my PSP)
The colours were vibrant and I finished almost every game I own for it.
Especially Golden Sun, Yoshi's Island, Mario Kartand the Castlevania's will remain in my gaming memory.Anyone Remember How Much Nintendo Crappe ...
I wouldnt say they crapped on it. It had a good lifespan. Besides being able to play GBA games on the DS is good enough for me.
GBA was awesome. Ahh... nostalgia.
Crapped on it? More like fed off it.
ive just bought a gba micro, and i love it. i bought it for golden sun and sword of mana, but as of yet i still havent picked them up yet. but astro boy and wario land are more then tiding me over till i do get them. only things is i want a black faceplate, where the hell do you buy them from ? and please dont tell me the nintendo website because they dont ship to the UK. i read that they were gonna release loads of them for the micro. but i cant find any.
The GBA advance became outdated quick with the release of the PSP and DS plus the DS could play GBA games.
I would not mind a new Good GBA game, but even then they could just make it into a DS game.
Nintendo tried to keep the GBA, alive why else would they come out with a bright screen and a micro. The developers and gamers just moved on to the next thing. it seems the gba took a slide in game flow in 06 when the ds and psp hit thier stride.
all of you guys seem to forget that the DS wasnt supposed to replace the gameboy NAME. id downright love it if nintendo decided to release another Gameboy, which would probably be compareable to the PSP, especially since the DSi wont be playing our GBA games.
Really it depends on the consumer more then the developer on how long a console will stick around. Pretty much everyone moved to DS so the demand moved to games for that platform.I still love GBA though. Golden Sun, Fire Emblem and the Castlevania still get some play these days.........just on my DS:P.

Astro Boy Omega Factor is the greatest handheld game period.[QUOTE=''TheColbert'']The GBA advance became outdated quick with the release of the PSP and DS plus the DS could play GBA games. I would not mind a new Good GBA game, but even then they could just make it into a DS game.[/QUOTE]
I could not disagree more.
The Advance Wars and Pokemon games gave me absolute joy. GBA I adore you
i feel ya on this but hey look at the bright side at least the gameboy lasted and outsold pretty much any portable console since its release in 1989
I thought thew GBA was a great system, and relatively good for it's time I don't think Nintendo 'crapped' at all with this system. The game boy micro on the other hand... Nuff Said.

nope, when the GBA was still new stuff, it was golden. but then the DS was released, not to take over the Game Boy, but work along side it. several years later... no more Game Boy. Period. I'm just saying, nintendo should stick to their word and not let the DS replace the Game Boy.
Yeah well maybe the PSP had something to do with shortening the GBA lifespan but honestly there was little doubt to me that the DS was simply going to to be the GBA's replacement. It just happened rather abruptly.
I don't know. From what I know DS stands for Developer's System, so I think the Nintendo DS was an attempt at a different set of games the GBA couldn't play, but developers still made games the GBA could play for the DS, so the DS just took over completely.
Personally I REALLY hope they bring back the Gameboy name. Obviously there won't ever be two handheld systems from Nintendo, so just go back to Gameboy, and everyone will love you again :)At least Gameboy was a franchise name whereas the Nintendo DS doesn't really have a franchise name other than the company + 2 letters
A gameboy advance or DS that has a case that's designed for adults with large hands would be cool. Think about the people who bought a Virtual Boy, talking about making you grab your ankles.
There hasn't been a release in ages, but that console has so many good games you're likely to have missed a lot of them!
They should have kept the DS as a second pillar.
