Ok. This little system still in diapers and there's already a wave of good fighting games for this system like:

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival:D
Street Fighter Alpha 3 :D
The King of fighters 99'!!!! :eek:

The there are already some pics available in the web and they look pretty darn good!

I don't get it, why did Sega's "Gamegear" and SNK's "Neo Geo Pocket Color" failed to last longer? they had colors and light on their screens, yet people keep loving the B&W monochrome Gameboy.

Now that Nintendo relased the Advance, EVERYBODY(including myself) bought one and the companies are releasing their best games for this system.

Like if they were waiting for the best system to come out to do so.

Well, the Gamegear and Neo Geo had little good games for thier systems, the GameBoy already had most developers tied up. Also, the GG and NG were to big n' clunky, plus, the most annoying fact about them was that they had little battery time.

...though maybe all those little Gameboy add-ons probably helped the GB get around too.

As for the SF games, I'm happy, but SSF2T revival?! Why not just get Alpha 3, since it has all SSF2TR has and more?

The Gameboy just managed to attract more developers and had tons more games for the system. Also, while the internal light on the Game Gear and Neo Geo Pocket was nice, it drastically reduced batterly life, and if it ever burnt out, you were pretty much screwed. There were good games for each of those systems, though.

I would have liked to see Nintendo come out with a more expensive model GBA, maybe $50 more...that feature a backlit screen (which could be turned off) and a rechargeable lithium battery.
