My only question is, "Why?" I know that Lego Star Wars did well for Eidos (over 300,000 sold on GC), but that seems to be much more in the GC market than Tomb Raider... this is bound to not sell well, I'm sure... particularly coming out months after the PS2/Xbox versions (of course). Low sales resulting from releases like that are why so many third parties reduced their GC support years ago...
A GBA/DS version is less surprising, though. Game Boys have always been the dumping ground for mediocre adaptations of major-console titles, and not necessarially just ones from Nintendo's major consoles... Lego Star Wars II, which is also upcoming for GC, also seems like a much better business decision than Tomb Raider is.

(I'd link the IGN article that says that there will also be GBA and DS versions and mentions the Lego Star Wars sales, but IGN isn't working right now)
