Over at the GBDojo, one of their readers, Furanky, was cool enough to send in pics from a Japanese Trade-Show.Check out this picture to see a Pink GBA along with giant green-prototype game carts out of it and another silver GBA nearby. A pink GBA to match the pink GameCube? Neat! Naturally, there's been no word on whether or not this is a final color for GBA, in either US or Japan.

Those guys are good at what they do! MAX!
