PSP out in August??

No, because the GBA is more powerful than the SNES. Yes it has ports but not exclusively and it's more than just a portable SNES.

Not so much powerful that straight SNES ports look bad. Most of Nintendo's games are SNES ports, and the system is littered with them.

Game Boy - 1989. SNES - 1991.

Your point is...

Okay it wasn't quite a portable NES, but it was very close. Almost identical except for the color... later titles like Mario 2, Wario Land, the Kirby games (not to mention Link's Awakening!) prove that... they may not be as long as NES titles but except for the color you can't see much of a difference. Yes, the GBC was closer to the power of the NES. But its biggest addition was the color, I'd say...

Which made all of the difference in the world. We did not get NES ports on the Gameboy, we got them on the GBC.

And I'm not saying that it's power is bad, but that their clear intention to use it for direct ports of major-console titles (seemingly as the main group of games) isn't that great... especially since they are CURRENT games. At least SNES ones are old and out of print!

First of all, you do not know that. There will be as many PS2-to-PSP ports as there are SNES-to-GBA ports. And the fact that the PSP ports are of newer games is actually a good thing. I want to be able to choose between a PS2 and PSP version of a game and not have to buy the PSP version six years after I've bought the PS2 version. Your argument is a joke.

Oh, on the subject of the Game Boy, I was playing some GBC games... and went back to the old question 'which are the best GBC games?'. Now my top 4 is obvious -- the two Oracles titles, Mario DX, and Bionic Commando. Ages is the best. But after that... I just don't know. At the moment I'm feeling like Bionic Commando (Elite Forces) should be second, but ... above Zelda? But Seasons isn't exactly the best Zelda game, despite how good it is...

The top three goes like this: LA DX, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons.

Anyway, my real point was to mention something (again, I'm sure, but do I care? ). Bionic Commando: Elite Forces on a GBA. Oh, I've mentioned the brightness problem many times before (it only looks right under DIRECT, very bright light -- unlike any of my other GBC games. It's like the brightness setting was knocked down a few notches...), but I'd forgotten about the bugs... the crash bug, to be specific. Now tell me if it's just my copy, but when I play it in my GBA, the game will freeze when I try to start a stage (on the 'select item' screen) if I've done (at least) one of the overhead missions since the last time I finished a level. So you can't fight any overhead missions, because after you do and try to enter a level the game freezes... makes the game a bit hard. And you can't go to the secret levels at all... I thought it might be the cart, but I checked my GBC and it worked fine...

Oh, on that note, is it easy to replace the screen cover for the GBC? Mine is in amazingly bad shape, with a lot of scratches in the middle of the screen... it looks almost white in places...

HA! We ALL told you about the regular GBA's problem with darkening GBC games but you refused to listen to us and got a GBA instead of an SP. I told you you'd regret that decision. :shakeit:

I have no idea how to change the screen cover.
