Before I knew it, another man (seemingly a parent) was helping his daughter pick out a Game Boy Color color. However, he inquired about the GBA too. While he seemed quite interested, he was clearing there for the GBC. Hey, it's cheaper and the employees were making it clear that when GBA hits North America in June, everything (systems and games) would be cheaper.

"Game Boy Color is the best selling video game system in the world…"

"Oh yeah? Said the parent.

"Yeah. Kind of surprising for a system that should have been dead three years ago."

"Well, Nintendo have Pokemon to thank for that," grumbled the father, plunking down the cash for his daughter's new toy.

Meanwhile, the guy with the two kids was examining an old (OLD school light) Game Boy system. It was wrapped in plastic and covered with large accessories that added to its behemoth size. The old-school GB with game light, game stick and Louie-knows-what-else attached wore a price tag of $24.95.

"What's that?" Asked one of his young companions, obviously referring to the massive attachments adorning its already massive frame.

"It's a game light, to help you see the games better," countered the man.

This answer seemed to satisfy the boy, though the kids still seemed uneasy.

"What's the matter with them?" Asked the employee as he handed the man his receipt.

"Hm? Oh, they're a bit upset that they can't get one of those new Game Boys today."

I was too guys. I was even more disappointed about not getting to get to play Castlevania. Nonetheless, I was impressed to see the generation gap being filled by these people by Nintendo. These guys weren't there just to buy the kids toys, they were passing the torch to the next generation of gamers. They were clearly happy to be there and though probably the kids and adults were excited about Game Boy Advance, for now they were content with the classics. That's really saying something.
