  W00t, I wrote every piece of that. No copying + pasting involved! Anyway, if it's 'cheap' enough, then I might buy it.

  Exactly what's the point of developing Game Boy Micro? First it's Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo Duel Screen, Game Boy Advance 2 (in development)... Instead spending more money developing a new console that already existed, maybe Nintendo should spend more time and money on Nintendo Revolution.

  Game Boy Advance 2 is not in development. Reggie and the others said so.

  The 13th of September 1985 Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in japan for the Famicom! :-) So its not just a smart move, its also the exact day of Super Mario's 20th anniversary.

  yeah, hence why one of the 3 games being released is called: "20th Anniversary version of Super Mario Bros". Above all, nintendo's biggest reason to create the GBM is to rejuvenate hype for the GameBoy line... and make a freak load of money... again. Which is good!

  "Game Boy Advance 2 is not in development. Reggie and the others said so." ?? Actually, I've heard in several interviews from the likes of Reggie, Iwata, Shigeru and the others that say a GBA2 IS in development. In fact, they confirmed it June of last year. Sad, really... I want there to be only 1 Nintendo portable, not 2... I'm not digging this 3rd pillar crud. And why would GBMicro need launch games? It already has launch games, hundreds of them... Though, I am happy to hear about MTA. One of my most hyped games of the year! I LOVED the GBC version.
