It isn't just the GBA. Games in general are getting shorter. That's because gamers apparently don't have an attention span now.

umean in terms of total play time? IMO, it's getting shorter, but not by TOO much. I can understand with GBA cartridges having only so much memory capacity to store all the data (esp,. from arcade and console ports), but i think much of it is also so the game developers can meet deadlines in the battle of their competiros
