?!?!?!?!?!?!wheres the gamecube and the gameboy i like the wii and the gameboy and the gamecube but it dosent matter about the gamecube because the wii plays gamecube games and wii games.
I think gameboy isn’t here jules because they are only doing the newer ones like why isn’t PS2 or PSP here. But don’t get me wrong, I love gameboy.
I totally agree with Pyro Maniac.
I have Pokemon Diamond, Saphire, Emerald, Ruby, Firered, Leafgreen and Gold. For all of you who don’t like pokemon how dare you but for all of you who do you’re awesome!
I really don’t like Sony PSP, PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox or Xbox 360. Sorry.
