| When is it coming to North America
and more info Gameboy Advance will launch on June 11th in America, then launch in Canada June 13th (in some areas). The retail price of the system is $99 US ($139 CAN) and the retail price of the games are $39 to $49 US ($49 to $59 CAN). You can pre-order you Gameboy Advance at one of these participating areas: -Target -Ebgames (Electronics Boutique) -Wall*Mart (Wall-Mart in Canada) -K-mart (US only) -Zellers (Canada Only) -Microplay (CAN and US) -Funcoland -any other store participating Q&A What is backwards compatible mean? Backwards compatible means that you are able to play existing games on the certain system. GBA, GBC and PS2 offer this on their systems. What happens when I plug in my existing GB or GBC (only) game? The game will be enhanced with better color quality and you will be able to have a choice of keeping the game the same size as before or stretching it so it fits on the horizontal screen. No other upgrades will be performed (e.g. use of the L and R buttons) Is there a device that can import a N64/Snes/Nes game to GBA? No, not at the moment. Only Nintendo has such of a device and there are no plans for games from the N64 to go onto the GBA except Yoshi Story. Is the sound quality of the GBA improved more than the GBC and GB? Yes, they have a new and better sound system in the GBA, allowing you to hear richer and more better sounds and music. You can even imitate the sound of an electric guitar, bass, drums etc. to perfection. Will GBA have a game that takes use of this really great sound system? Yes, there are plans for a game called "Gameboy Music", unknown at this moment if a release in North America is final. |
