What's the point of another GBA?

**swordstalker** · August 1st, 2004, 03:53

there is no other point of having another gb advance because the ds would outsell because of it's gb games slot

Are you serious? I didn't realize that the DS wasn't going to be backwards-compatible with GB and GBC.

No its only going to be backwards compatible with GBA but i think that it might also work with GB games cause that keeps happening with all there systems. Another thing i think if they dont do backwards for GB or GBC its cause it might become harder to find games for those systems.

People would find there is no real reason to buy those games no more.

Well, I doubt they'll have much difficulty making a DS run GB/GBC games. Failing all else, the thing should be powerful enough to emulate a GB in software without too much difficulty, especially considering that they have two CPUs to work with.

Bad move Nintendo... bad move.

Who exactly is making all these stupid decisions for nintendo? we need to give that person a wake up call.

**Eric** · August 4th, 2004, 06:56

Again i wouldnt say that its not backwards compatible for GB and GBC yet as there isnt to much info on it yet unless i havent seen any then we could all be stand corrected or i could stand alone in a lake of fire of pitty

pitty me
