• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Let's face it...

The GBA is going to bite the dust. With the DS getting bigger and bigger, the GBA's games an capabilities pale in comparison. With reverse-compatibility, more people are just buying DS's instead. Post your thoughts.
 
Yes but I think they may be able to have a DS game and then make an expansion for it in the GBA slot.

there are games that recognize GBA games and give you secret thing or two so why not take it a syep further?
 
well yes, i knew this would happen after the DS launched... they can still go out in style


:) although... they could continue making games as long as they sold... they made NES games for about a year after the SNES was out... GBA games will most likly stop once the next GB system comes out


:)

but can you play gba multiplayer on the ds, or huck it up to the gcn?
no, but thats why i have a GBA


:) but its true thought, the GBA will die out eventually... not yet, but eventually... probably before the end of this year.
 
Yes, but the next GameBoy should be just as good as the DS, if not better. If so, wouldn't people go back to buying the GameBoy, even though the DS has the touch-screen and other stuff? Probably.

Besides it is one of the classics and you can't beat the classics!
Tell me, do you still play your old GameBoy (if you are old enough ;)) or your SNES?

<_<

Well, it is unavoidable, you know. This has happened with all of the previous GB's so.... you get it. The GBA will probably stop getting new games in 2006 or so.

Yeah... I guess my old GBA is going to become obsolete...
Ah well, I'm used to it... I've had a lot of practice with computers.

Or can you? o_O

I don't have a GBA anymore, I use the GB Player or my DS.

What nintendo should do is this:
1. Stop selling GBA Systems
2. Call GBA games DS type 1 games (the "DS games" would be called DS type 2 games)
3. Make the nxt Gameboy incompatable with older Gameboy games.

This way, the gameboy lives and the DS lives.
