The system is set to be sold for a whopping 1199 DKK (about US$140) and the games for 399 to 499 DKK (about US$45 to 60).

Just found these on an old archive CD, artists thoughts of what the GBA could look like. I personally think the way it was release is by far the best, it's shape kinda reminds me of an old Game&Watch LCD, which actually was my first "videogame" experience I think :) Oh and notice the 4 buttons and no shoulder buttons hehehe TRAINER FOR F-ZERO: MAXIMUM VELOCITY BY ANTHROX F-ZERO MAXIMUM VELOCITY +4 Unlimited Spare Machines Unlimited POW IN-Game Instant Speed IN-Game Level Skip JPN [ DOWNLOAD ] RELEASE LIST UPDATED Yep, even another update of the release list, mostly US releases and dates.

RELEASE LIST UPDATED I've added a lot more games to the GBA release list, I was missing all the Capcom ones as well as some others. A few more release dates have been added aswell. Click here to check it out.

I still receive a lot of mails from people who cannot download from 64scener, it simply says that the file does not exist. However this is caused by armageddongames' stupid antileech script, if you wanna help me change this (remove it?) then please mail contact@armageddongames.com about the problem.

I wouldn't want to move this site... again.. but will if nesseary :-/

OLD NEWSPAPER ARTICLE I just found this old article from a danish news paper called "Jyllands Posten". It was written in Spring last year as far as I remember, unfortunately I forgot to write down the date. For those of you capable of reading danish, check it out here. Sorry I can't be bothered to translate it right now :) RELEASE LIST ADDED Not a rom release list, but the real ones. It's designed so that it in the future will feature both US and European release dates, aswell as links to a page dedicated to each release, containing useful information about the release and who knows, maybe even a small review eventually. Check it out here. Please do note that it's still under heavy construction and therefore may be incorrect in some places and maybe even missing some announced games. If you know fo a game not listed, or release dates, then feel free to e-mail me.

ANOTHER GAME HAS BEEN DUMPED Unfortunately it's not yet available to the public, the game is Castlevania, yeah the impressive and sold out almost everywhere game from Konami. It will be added to the release list as soon as it's released to the public.

March was also the month where the next generation of handheld gaming became available in stores, in Japan atleast. The Gameboy Advance was finally available and lucky the online stores got their share of the first batch, so people outside of Asia was able to get their hands on the unit aswell, damn you SimonB ;)

Only a few days after the release, first signs of backups appeared on an asian site called www.billyjr.com and they had been made with a homebrewn backup unit. A password protected RAR archive with the roms began floating around, however the two games, F-Zero and Mario Advance, later were rereleased for the public in unprotected zips, although I noticed that these were nuked on a few FTP sites and claimed to be bad dumps. Anyway we're up to 4 dumped games now which I believe all comes from the same souce eventhough Eurasia release the newest two dumps.

I'm not sure when we will see the first mass produced copier, but it could be around the time the GBA is released in the US, a few months from now. The great news is that the GBXchanger works with the GBA, BUT WILL NOT PLAY OR COPY GAMEBOY ADVANCE GAMES, it is a Gameboy Color copier and will only work with GBC games, so you will be able to play GBC gameson the GBA using a Bung Flash Cartridge.

It's said though that you actually can use a NeoGeo pocket copier with the GBA too, so it will play NeoGeo games on your GBA, NGP and GBA cartridges are aroubt the same size, all you have to do is upload a little program along with the game ROM to your NGP flash cartridge and you're off. Maybe it's time to secture one of those NGP copiers? and who knows maybe someone will write a program which will let you copy games using the NGP copier!
