Gameboy's End

Well the last few hurrahs for GBA are FFV, FFVI, and Mother 3. As soon as Mother 3 makes it's way over here I'm plenty fine with saying Gameboy has it's great run come to an end. You'll still see support for it I'm sure with licensed and budget games and such but from the people that count it's time to fully support the DS. Good times.

NOW GET MOTHER 3 OVER HERE, NINTENDO. WHY DID YOU NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT E3, DAMN IT?

Because if you follow Nintendo then you'd know about what Nintendo had set up to be three pillars - the GBA line, the cube/Wii, and the DS. They kept that going since they announced the DS. This talk is basically Nintendo saying they're giving on giving most of their support to the GBA pillar which makes sense since the DS was very, very successful. They'll obviously still put out more GBA SP's if the market keeps buying them and the developers will still make games for the platform if people keep buying them. However, this is just a passing confirmation of what we've seen a gradual progression towards.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dude, it's not an announcement really. It was just a passing, "Yeah, we aren't supporting the GBA as much anymore. The DS is the future of our handhelds."

Stop blowing it out of fucking proportion.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
