Whilst Nintendo refuse to comment officially, rumours from inside the industry suggest that Nintendo will have announced a new version of the console by the end of the week.

It was originally thought that the enhancement would involve adding a backlight, it seems there may be something else in store. If the rumours are true, Europeans could be seeing a new GBA, with a backlight and a new shape, by Easter of next year.

Whether the chipset itself will recieve any changes no one knows, but it is unlikely.
