The rumours and reports were true, a new GBA is heading our way...
With all of the speculation surrounding Nintendo, the Japanese publisher had to make some announcement to a hungry audience. Today the publisher held a worldwide conference, which one of our fellow colleagues is presently at.
However due to the seemingly complex issue of arranging a single time, the main news of the announcement has appeared across the world. As numerous rumours and reports suggested before Christmas, Nintendo are planning to release a new GameBoy Advance. The GameBoy Advance SP addresses many of the issues that have plagued the original; in particular the unit now features a backlight, which should please those who’ve noticed their eyesight diminish from too many sessions on Golden Sun. Because of the increased power consumption, the machine now comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium battery, which should provide around 10hrs of gaming.
Elsewhere it’s mainly superficial changes to the design; as the rumours previously claimed the unit folds in half to a reported measurement of 3” square x 1” depth. Unfortunately the rumoured increase in buttons and power hasn’t materialised, this is essentially a GameBoy Advance with a backlight.
Nintendo plans to launch the machine as soon as possible; the GameBoy Advance SP will be released in Japan on February 14th, followed by European and American rollouts on March 28th. It’s been claimed that the machine will retail for $100, so with the usual £-$ conversion rate expect a European release to be around £100. The GameBoy Advance will initially be available in three metalic colours - silver, blue, black - however expect more colours to find their way to the market.
We’re currently taking pre-orders for the GameBoy Advance SP thanks to the eager beavers working at our store partners GamePlay, so to make sure you’ve got yours on March 28th hit this <a href=http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/tvg/productpage.asp?ProductCode=GB0427>link</a> today.

This is easily my BEST 2 games EVER, the storyline, the characters, the Q.T.E's and basically everything about Shenmue 1 & 2 is absolutely amazing. In this day and age if you re-release the first 2 parts along with part 3 the actual games market has grown up alot and these titles would be very welcomed and will sell very well, hell even if you spruce up the graphics etc im sure fans like myself would buy them again as to refresh themselves with the story making you (SEGA) even more money. So please SEGA give Yu the permission to release what millions of fans around the world are eagerly waiting for, this saga needs an ending.

It's so going to happen - I just hope SEGA/Suzuki remaster 1 & 2 and try to resell the experience all over again. Shenmue was ahead of its time and I'm almost certain that it would find a stronger market now then it did 10 years ago.

i understand not havin enough profits to make shenmue 3 but sega is worried about shenmue doing poorly in sales, i hope they realize if they somehow do make enough money to produce shenmue 3 they could make a huge fortune from it, shenmue 3 is one of the most demanded games all over the world in, fact shenmue 3 could be the thing to finally put sega back on top, anyway i hope they do make a shenmue 3 because i'm sure i'm just one of millions of people who want the stunning conclussion to the shenmue series

its not all yu suzuki's decision most of the decision lies with sega as it has just said clearly but also the concern lies with cost being the second most expensive game it is hardly surprising but iam hoping that they do release the 3rd one it was one of my favorite games of all time in fact i consider it to be one of the best games of all time, yakuza 3 was good but shenmue still has a place for me as it was one of the 1st rpg's i experienced.
please sega release shenmue 3 theres clearly a load of fans that want this you did it with yakuza do it with shenmue.

I would agree, although I never actually got the change to fully complete the second one... shame!

Shame on you Yu Suzuki. Making us wait for shenmue 3 like were stray dogs looking for food in a dumpster. I want and especially the FANS want to know what happends. Does Ryo die.... or does he finally defeat Lan Di. I want to know I have been waiting Eight and a half years and I hope that somthing will be said about shenmue 3.kinda pissed me off when Yu was asked about it in 2006 and then acted very pissed off about it acting like "Why the HELL would be realeaseing that game." You are REALLY PISSIN' OFF FANS YU SUZUKI and I HOPE at E3 this year 2010 that something will be said and not some wise[#@!?]answer like "At this time no". Come on Yu if you're not going to realease Shenmue 3 then say We will NEVER release this Game... End of Story!!! That aleast would put things at a halt and the hopes of the third game would be ended. Don't get me wrong, I love Shenmue series Best game series ever created to me at least but when some game creator let's their fans waiting and waiting some people will be pissed off (like me) and thats how you will lose buissnes!
