GBA Release List
I've updated the GBA Release List to include all of the games announced in Nintendo's E3 press kit. Thanks to IGN for the list.

Advanced GBC Games
The GBC game Shantae (due out later this year) will be features extras for Game Boy Advance Gamers. While it's expected to be one of the best looking games for the GBC yet, by the time it's released, most people will be thinking about GBA games. So to give gamers an incentive to buy it, they're adding extras that only GBA players will see. One problem with Game Boy Color games is that when they're displayed on the Advance screen they look muddy and faded. But when Shantae is placed into a GBA, it will activate better looking colors. In addition to that, there will also be a mini game and a special character that can only be seen on the GBA. It sounds like they've come up with some good ideas to keep people playing their game. I wonder if any other games have special features when played on the GBA. Remember Kirby's pinball and Pokemon for GBC?

New Pages Added
I added some new content to the site today, including a new Game Boy Advance section. Now when you click on the side bar link that says Game Boy Advance, you'll go to a new page that lists all of the GBA pages.

I Can't Wait!
I've got it bad now. I'm even counting the seconds until the US GBA release. That's why I put up countdown on this page. It will live up here until the official release. In the mean time, why not read about GBA? Check out the ever expanding site. I've updated both the Game Boy Advance page and the Game Boy Advance FAQ for your reading enjoyment. I consider the GBA page to be fully up to speed on all of the latest news. The FAQ still needs some work before I'll consider it really done. But read it anyway!

The Release Date's Advancing!
It's just a little more than a month before the US release of the Game Boy Advance. Even though it's been about two months since the GBA's debut in Japan, I still haven't bought one. Initially I planned to import it, but after seeing that most import places were ripping people off, I decided to just wait until it's released in the US. Of course being the anxious person that I am, I pre-ordered it at Stop and Save Software. A store owned by Electronics Boutique. It turns out the store is in the Jersey Gardens Mall in Elizabeth NJ, close to where I live. So, I may not be the first person to own the new Game Boy, but I'll be the still have it before most of the people in my area.

Gamers Cove is Advancing!
I've been home sick for the past few days. Yesterday I felt so bad that I didn't even feel like working on the site, but today, I decided to take advantage of feeling a little better by doing some much needed updating. Just don't get too used to seeing everyday news updates, I have to go back to work tomorrow ;)

I'm trying to pull the web site's focus away from covering breaking and news, and more toward providing good content. There's certainly no way I could ever break news with the big boys like IGN and Daily Radar. However I will continue to provide the latest important news items. You'll get an idea of what I'm working toward if you check out the GBA page. I gave it a much needed update. It includes a brand new article covering the history of the Game Boy Advance. I think it actually turned out to be more of a Game Boy history in general. I really like it though, it's informative and I tried to make it as interesting as possible. Hopefully there will be more to come.
