GBA - A Wasteland For Creativity?

Posted by simoniker on from the parents-like-buying-dem-licenses dept.

jvm writes "Having been intrigued by heated discussions over licensed games and stagnant creativity in the videogame market, I did some investigation into just how many original titles can be found in the library of games for Nintendo's GameBoy Advance. Depressingly, out of the hundreds of games catalogued, only 9% are not licensed, not sequels, and not remakes of older games. That's fewer than three dozen games, and most of those fall into well-known categories. Graphs and downloadable data are provided for interested readers to do their own examination."

    I know this Games section doesn't get the same kind of crap as the Main one does, but I just wanted to do a First Post because I'm got a few minutes of time to kill. Thanks!

      It took you a few minutes to type that? Back to cleaning toilets for you I think.
