En http://www.eagb.net/cgi-bin/news/news.pl?action=gen_read_page&id=P3OEAAb3S7I was puzzled at that statement and then salesman then went on to say: "Yeah because Nintendo will release a brand new GameBoy Advance with a back-lit screen !".
..
Then, I went to another video games shop (a competitor of the first one), to check if these information were true.
In the beginning, they didnt want to tell me anything, but when they felt that I already knew a lot, they admitted it and said that it would be released in December.
So here are two rivals shops saying the same thing - the first one telling it to anyone, and the other one respecting the instructions of Nintendo to keep the secret.
..
Looking back at the GameBoy Color ! As far as I remember, the GBC was just a myth ! No one believed it would happen because Nintendo had just released the GameBoy Pocket (with different colors).
One month later the GameBoy Color was released !

Im going to finish this dossier with words of M.Yamauchi, from Nintendo of Japan, who said during the Nintendo Spaceworld 2000 (where we discovered the GBA for the first time) : "Nintendo is already working on the GameBoy Advance 2".
Mmmh, en dat terwijl ik hem net heb gekocht.. Maarja, het is natuurlijk wel logisch dat _als_ dit waar is, nintendo er niets over zegt om te zorgen dat de huidige gba blijft verkopen.EAGB just reported from GBA News that there might be a GBA 2 with backlight, in the making.
Well, FGN followed up on that rumour and asked Nintendo of Europe themselves and this is what a spokesperson from NoE had to say:
"While no official announcement has been made, we have heard about this."
