GBAs breed quickly! GBA

by Michael Cole - 4:29 pm EST

You can never have enough GBAs!!!!

Despite rumors that the number of GBA would be decreased, Nintendo has proven them wrong by increasing the number to 1.4 million! It still isn't enough to satisfy the demand, but the number is certainly nothing to scoff at. And hopefully GCN production is coming along just as nicely, making a raid much less likely come launch. This is certainly good news: Nintendo doens't seem to be running into the rut that Sony fell into.

Japanese gaming industry magazine Zaikai recently conducted an interview with Hiroshi Yamauchi and Video-Senki was kind enough to post it.

The word is that Nyko's gotta an accessory arsenal waiting to happen for the GBA. Here's the first details...

If you have a Game Boy or Game Boy color odds are you have a light for it. So far, out of all the things that I've used with my Game Boy's, Nyko's Worm Light is the best. Many companies have copied it because it's so damn good. Then snipers took their sorry asses out for pulling a M$. Booya!

The PS2 is a good value... as a DVD player only!

Lately, NCL's President, Hirohsi Yamauchi has mouthed off about Square, seemingly attempting to encourage stronger support or none at all.
