Again, the Planet proves itself the premiere source for awful puns.

Yahoo! Yahoo! A pirate's life for me .. OK, corny pun. Ever been through the Pirates of the Carribean at Disneyland? Too close to resist .. sorry .. sue me, I have no assets.

Anyway, it seems that Nintendo, Sega, and EA are filling a lawsuit against Yahoo! for aiding and abetting known software piraters. And rightly they should! I'm sure you've heard this already, but here it again in glorious audio at the link above.

GBA When? GBA

A GBA Delay is looking more and more likely and here's some reasons why...

Obviously most of us here at Planet N2000 aren't holding their breath for a Fall release of the GBA. With the GBC selling so well (and generally no competition), it would be pointless for Nintendo to feel the need to release the new handheld. Not that 95% of the people that read this rag wouldn't purchase it upon release. Heh heh. Here's a few chunks of fun of other possible reasons why the system may be delayed.
