What's new is old again

I really liked the first two GTAs and I loved GTA III and Vice City. This game melds the overhead view of the old games and the gameplay of the newer GTAs. This could be one of the better GBA games yet. I look forward to seeing the first reviews when it is released.

This happens everytime. Once a new system is about to be released (Nintendo DS), the best games for the current platform (GBA) are released.

I was under the impression that the core audience for the GBA is preteen and younger teen boys (and I might be wrong here.

As a 29 year old Nintendo fanboy let me assure you that you are quite wrong. Think of it this way: when the original Gameboy came out I was a "preteen" boy. So you are right in a way. It's just that that audience has grown up along with the Gameboy.
