GBA Phase out?

traquena · 05-30-2007, 06:58 AM

Since Nintendo released its DS this means that they no longer released new game for GBA?

No, there are still new GBA games every once and a while, but yes, they are slowing fading out. The nice thing is that the DS can play GBA games, good one Nintendo for that. If you have a GBA right now, I would highly recommend snatching up a DS. You can still play all your old GBA games, and the DS is a sweet little hand held system. It doesn't have the graphical power that the PSP has, but it has a much better game library.

You mean they may stop producing new game for GBA poor GBA owner T_T.

I like GBA games. I can't wait until i get my M3 so i can play the ROMs i dled on my ds. Free games!

What do you by M3? will you please explain it clearly ^_^

Tegan · 05-31-2007, 11:41 AM

M3 is a mod chip for the DS. And yes they are going to stop making GBA games. Why wouldn't they? The GBA is a dead system, the DS is Nintendor's premier hand held. It's very likely that we will never see another "GameBoy" by that name. The DS is the future for Nintendo's hand held market.

What this MOD chip do to DS?

Poor GBA owner T_T

hey thanks for the info. it's more like Flash Rom in GBA where you can store your GBA Roms then you can play them all using one cartridge.

a few years back, Nintendo magazines were saying Nintendo wound have the game boys running alongside the DS, i.e. they would still make single screen portables under the gameboy name and keep the DS' separate, not that talk like that has been anywhere for a good couple of years now but its still possible, Nintendo aren't the best at letting new consoles in line merge into each other, there was a large gap of nothingness between the N64 and the Cube and they completely failed in there promises to keep the cube alive well into the Wii's lifetime
so you never know, there could still be another gameboy
and its not like GBA games have stopped quite yet, the rerelease of Final Fantasy 6 or something is selling very well
