All the screenshots look fantastic .... unfortunately of course the actual games won't look half as good as that on an actual gameboy. As good as GBA is, the display is a major letdown. My kid doesn't seem to mind, but my 35 year old eyes don't think its worth the trouble.
I know all about the new Afterburner internal light modification thing -- I also know its really tough to install the included antireflective film without making bubbles on the screen. Still, I'm thinking about it.
According to a story I saw at nintendojo.com, Nintendo will be releasing an improved screen version of GBA maybe by year's end, which will have improved display and the return of the contrast control. But still not lighted. WTF?
Nintendo still claims that battery consumption is too great to justify the lighted screen. It seems they've never heard of rechargeable battery packs. After all, they don't make a rechargeable battery pack - you have to buy aftermarket.
GBA games look great on my 19" monitor, though.

The bad thing of this metal slug is that it will most surely be really short, like the other ones in the series, wich were good 'cos you couldn't waste as many lives as you wanted, with the exception that you could be REALLY RICH, unless they add a save function and more levels, if you know what I mean

Hi guys, I bought a GBA magazine days ago and I felt shocked when I read the first preview page. The AGB Games (a society that builds 3d engines for many consoles) is working on a graphic engine (for GBA) called WFR (Wall/Floor/ceiling Render) and it will be used to run....QUAKE!!!!!!! This fantastic engine allows the game to run from 30 to 60 fps! in closed or opened environments, it supports intelligent collisions between objects, transparency, animated textures and light sourcing in real time! It's unbelievable i think, but there are also screen shots! (and they looks fu***ng great!) They already completed the first quake level.. so it's a BIG work in progress.. I'm dr00ling.. :!!!:
:inlove:
P.S. I dunno if someone else talked about it before, I've been away for a while in this month.. (vacation you know )
