Ok so PSP can emulate GBA games? If thats true, what does that tell you? Why would you emulate games from another system if they aren't better than the games out for PSP? To spend $249 on a system and play games that you could play on a $79 system doesn't make sense. So that should say a lot about the qualtiy of the games for PSP. I keep hearing to wait and see that good games will be coming out that are good. Well why not wait to buy the system then? Oh and Mario is not dead, check sales charts on Mario games and compare them to any other character franchise out there.
