We coulda and shoulda seen it coming but we're happy to have the official word straight from the horses' mouth. On Nintendo's Japanese webpage, as part of an update to its Mobile GB section, Mario Kart Advance been listed as one of the GBA titles that will feature online support! This seems like an amazing first step for Nintendo to prove that it is serious about online gaming, and we can only expect future GBA titles to follow suit. Whether or not this will allow capabilities beyond four players has yet to be seen. All I can say is, what fan-freakin-tastic news!!! Well, I can probably say more and will… So join me in the talkback and we’ll yap it up!! Whoohoo!

(Thanks to Mikey Veroni for the tip. Mikey claims that: “If F-Zero is online too, forget it - I'm moving to Japan.”)
