Actually, I bet it will sell quite well. Especially if it's advertised well. Kids will probably be begging their parents to get it for them, even though it's nothing really new.

You know what I'm thinking.... Those looks a lot like a NES controller.... Revolution will have NES game downloadable via net... This GBA might also be use as a wireless controller for the NES game on Revolution....

Not a bad idea!

I dont see why they would put wireless capabilities in a portable that doesnt have wireless support.

Could always have the wireless system emulate the link cable...

The GBC did have infared, so it'd be nothing necessarily novel...

hmmmmm....I wonder how ben reacted/will react to this

.......I for one think that although it looks really cool, it's really quite pointless....I mean, it's just another remake!!!....I for one, will NOT buy it......(the GBA SP I did buy, however, because the backlit screen was a HUGE improvement

)

I bought the GBA SP on the release day of the NES version, and now that I have a backlit screen there's not point in reinventing the wheel...again.

1. yes, the gbc did have wireless infared. But it was difficult to use, and was only used to trade high scores or pookymon.

2. The GBA SP is frontlit.

Like I care? I can see it in the dark just fine, all I play is Tetris with the occasional Super Mario World, and it suits me fine.

yeah, the gbc infared didn't do much. and no, you could not trade pokemon, you could only mystery gift. also, with bomberman, you could play multiplayer

Game Boy Evolution. Code name for the new Game Boy. Problem is, no one knows if the GBM is the GBE...

hmmm...GBO, GBP, GBL, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, NDS, GBE, GBM...yea that's sad...

GBL??? WTF??? You also forgot Game Boy player, if that counts

Gameboy Light. I'll let you infer what that could possibly be.
