Texas Hold 'Em Poker

In Texas Hold 'Em Poker, it's "all in" for players as they compete in single player or multiplayer action against up to 10 computer players. Via link cable, players can also challenge four friends in the most challenging poker game on the Game Boy(R) Advance. The password save feature allows players to save their bankroll for future games.

Monster Trucks

Monster Trucks takes all the action and excitement of Monster Truck events and brings them to the Game Boy(R) Advance. Players build their ride in the scrap yard then work their way up to arena competitions in a quest to become the best on the circuit. They must face five different Monster Truck opponents determined to knock them out of the league and can earn money to add new upgrades to their truck and Monster Truck Team.

F-18 Super Hornet

In F-18 Super Hornet, players will take to the sky for more than 19 different land and sea missions in real Iraqi cities, to defend the coalition and defeat the insurgent forces with an array of high-powered weaponry.

Password save for texas hold up poker WTF password saves should of been abolished  after NES/SNES era.

Could they make it  use the DS's wireless capabilties?  Can games be written for GamBuy, but when ran on the DS use some of its features?

I doubt they wanted to spend the extra money for a battery in the cartridge just to save the players bankroll, furthermore since it's a budget title.  The password shouldn't have to be long either since it's just the players money.

Is it just me or does 20 bux sound a little much for a so called "budget title".  Same with the classic NES GBA games.

That $20 could buy a budget PS2/GC/Xbox game, which would provide alot more fun. =\
Angry at GBA prices everyday.
