Yomiuri Online Monday reported that Nintendo of Japan announced that the August release for the Game Boy Advance may be a difficult date for the company to keep. One of the problems reported by YO is the lack of semiconductor parts used in the manufacturing of the next-generation handheld system. NOJ also announced the delay of its Game Boy Color network adapter from April to sometime this fall in Japan.
Yomiuri Online wrote that "this may also affect the release of the company's next-generation console system Dolphin, in Japan as well. Nintendo may find it unnecessary to release its next-generation hardware yet, since its current hardware are still selling pretty well."
