Kotaku have recieved a tip from a Target insider that "all GameBoy Advance stock is being listed as discontinued and that all backstock in storage rooms is to be sent to the floor and sold."
So is this the beginning of the end for the GBA?
Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.
There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.
lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
I wouldnt be surprised Nintendo is going to move full steam ahead with the DS
i might go to the store and pick up a cheap GBA.i doubt i will though as im not much of a handheld gamer. i own a psp and rarely touch it.
But it's outselling the PS3 & takes up a helluva lot less shelf space.
Ive made music for many GBA games and this is a shame, but DS is the new kiddy on the block and will be for a good number of years.
I have to say I think this is a smart move. The DS has proven that people want that system over GB. Plus the DS can play GB games so if you really want them you can still play them. So why would target want to sell a system that they know if they take out of the store will push more DS sales and at the same time bring them more money. So I think this is a smart move.
Also on another note over the past couple of weeks I have seen less shipments of GB systems at Ebgames/Gamestop. So may be this is not just Target but a plan for every where. To me I really do not see the down side of taking out GB systems. Because why would any one want a Gameboy micro when for only 20 more dollars you can get a DS that can do more. At least I think that way.
