GBA Launch Date
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 13, 2001 12:16pm PSTNintendo has finally announced the official US launch date of the Game Boy Advance, which will be June 11. With some 110 million units sold the original Gameboy is pretty much the best selling handheld computer ever, and the GBA will be able to play the original GB games.
Scheduled for release on June 11, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance will be powered by a 32-bit CPU, with the potential to display 512 colors [Maarten - actually according to the Game Boy site it does 511 in character mode, 32,768 in bitmap mode] simultaneously. According to Nintendo, the current Game Boy Color represented 47 percent of all hardware systems sold through 2000Analysts question Nintendo's ability to produce enough GBA's, since there is a shortage of LCD screens. Nintendo says they won't have problems. So, who's getting one?
Comments
As for getting one, i'm going to be waiting until the stateside release, just because i don't care to spend that much and get 12 games, most of which i won't be able to understand.
but games i consider must haves already:
-sonic the hedgehog
-chu chu rocket
-mario cart advance
-castlevania: circle of the moon (not too sure on the subtitles name)
theres been plenty of other games i've seen that i'd love to have, but their names escape me.
now if metal slug 1st and 2nd mission came out on GBA... *drool*

As for the sega game gear. Uhm, the game gear wasn't as powerful as a SNES. I'll be enjoying my GBA.. mmm... just hope they introduce metroid tout de suite.. hehe.
Oh ya, and heres a tip for the men out there (according to the poll on the front page I wont be offending anyone of the weaker' sex..) if you ever decide to shave your ballsaq, use VISINE on them after.. it kills razor burn hardcore. Also shaving your member makes it look bigger than it already is (i now have a 9 inch penis!)
Shibby!

I can understand why it's so unpopular with the Shack crowd now, seeing as how they never go out of their computer rooms...
