This link would work under normal circumstances...

Some of you who also frequent the Nintendorks website will surely have noticed that they're having some problems. Tech-head Jon Miller told me that they're having server troubles, and on top of that, his cable internet at home crapped out for a couple of days. No word on when things should be working again, but I'll let you know at that time.

Would you like to pre-order a Japanese Gameboy Advance? Well, get in here and plunk down some cash!

I know Billy has been looking for GBA info high and low for awhile & luckily thanks to a fine tip, we've finally come across some. It turns out that Buyrite is now accepting pre-orders for Game Boy Advance. The price for a GBA including Mario Advance is $199.99. Buy-rite claims that all pre-orders will be honored and that they will try (but cannot promise) to give you the color of your choice.

Oh man! The GBA love continues to flow. Namco has announced that they will have Mr. Driller 2 ready for launch on GBA! Yes, I am down with Drillin!

If you have a Dreamcast and like puzzle games you'll want this game. I've played the hell out of the DC version and would highly recommend this title. No word yet if this title will be reaching US shores...but in my opinion this is another great addition to the Japanese GBA launch line up.

Could Matsushita's rewritable SD Cards be part of the NGC/GBA connection?

Ed Shih told me he'd post this last night, though I guess he was out partying too long and forgot. You know what that means — he's FIRED! Actually, it means that I have to do it... It also means I will have to send Louie to beat up Ed and take away his medication (firing is too good for that pansy).

Pokémon GBA/NGC for 2002?

With news coming thick and fast as to what titles are headed for GBA there's one that hasn't been shown yet but will most likely make one of the biggest splashes (the metaphorical ones) once released.
