Spaceworld 2000 Ad

00-08-17 - Dave - Check out this ad from Gamespot.  I would like to point out that although some sites *coughgbcdojocough* appear to be writing that this is the GBA, it's still up in the air.  Judging by the strong angle in the bottom right corner (in relation the word start), it would be too sharp to be the edge of a GBA screen, right?  Not necessarily.  It is likely that Nintendo has once again put a 'frame' around the screen, such as the replaceable ones on previous GB's, and that this frame is slightly slanted for style.  Also, what proves to me that this is probably a GBA controller, is that the start button in relation to the D-pad.  On most consoles, the Start button has been placed at about the same level as the D-pad, but in the middle of the controller.  On most GB's, the start button is below and to the right of the D-pad.  The shape of the start button serves to throw another wrench in the works:  a round start button was previously exclusive to the Nintendo 64, and not seen on any GB.

We'll have more news as we feel like it/find it.
