Given the DSi no longer supports GBA carts, I suspect that more GBAs may be purchased in the future as people upgrade their DS hardware, find that they want to play some old GBA games and can no longer use the DS to do so.

Yeah - I tend to ue Sanwa sticks and buttons in my homemade sticks. Saying that, I haven't tried Seimitsu parts for a few years so they may have improved.

@Atheist Jew: When I meet one of these hard nosed, closed/small minded, bigotted Catholics (not that your family is any of the above) I usually tell them the following:

People in Japan, China, Korea and other eastern countries have a really different attitude to Religion than the west.

A games machine with a mobile phone is just not a safe option.

Its looking to be going the same way as cinema did when it became mass market.

Hatachi is it?

Rhythym Tengoku was a cracking game on the GBA. The DS version is nowhere near as good in my opinion.

2 laptops and a desktop is all I need to write software day to day. None of them are Macs ;)

Now light our darkest hour !!!

I never use Mac laptop after having the other halfs macbook die 3 times within 3 years. Completely unreliable and expensive to boot.

Hmmm, was thinking of picking up one of these in Japan in a week or two but the exchange rate from UK pound to Japan Yen is pretty pathetic at the moment :(

Why is this competition so odd?

Sweet - this games rocks. We need more spanking games, maybe with more S&M thrown in to make it more... exciting.

Yup, I have been playing this since last friday and it rocks.

Whah?

I played the japanese version a few months back and it was crappy. Sure it has nice visuals and some good cut scenes but the game was so very dull that after a few hours of playing it, I gave it away to a friend.

As far as figures go, this one is a bit lame.

@Vipre77: I fully agree with you good sir. Online games rarely, if ever, interest me in the way a well scripted single player game does.
