Don't get upset because Nintendo moves 3 trillion of these things every year...there's a market for this device.

muchdrama dont get it wrong im not upset. i just think they should just move on to the next level. these device are becoming out dated now that psp is out.

I agree. I am a hardcore Nintendo fan (preordered my copy of Nintendogs already!) and even I think the GB Micro is a bit too much milking. When they announced it at E3, I was insulted to say the least. I mean here they had the attention of thousands of hardcore Nintendo fans and they announce the release of a new version of GBA that would appeal mainly to non hard core gamers...oh well..at least there's the Revolution to look forward to.

yeah i cant wait for the revolution either. i just hope this time they come out with more games for more mature adults. i loved resident evil 4 but was sad that it took that long to the ending of the cube for it to come out with.

I have a Gameboy Advance SP. It is pretty small. Were they to make one much smaller, I think my hands would be too big for it.
The Game Boy Advance is about the same level of play as a Super NES. Instaed of making a new version of the same thing (however much of a market there may be) I would rather see a more advance system.

i heard the revolution will allow the player to download every single one of the o.g. nintendo games. i'm on board based on that alone.

Gameboy is the best thing that nintendo has going for them. If they come out with gameboy plaid, I won't be mad at them.
