...will be all mine tomorrow, when its realised here! I suppose I should treat myself to a new game for it! Anyone else getting/got one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want one so bad but I have no "bling bling". Super Puzzle fighter is coming out and I must get it. Ahhhhh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that the one that looks like a fake kiddies laptop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ofcourse. |
||||||||
|

It does look very desirable(slurp). The fact u can play most of yer old games is a novel one(unlike it's big brothers-N64 etc, whose games were not compatible with it's successor),but you knew that already.... Nintendo r surely onto a winner here.... };> |

i like the look of it... but now you can pick up a normal gba for £40 or less that is identical in performance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
True, but the SP has a backlit screen (no light source needed) and rechargeable lithium batteries. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will be getting one at some point but more important things to buy first. VINYL! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't wanna be a wise guy but actually the GBA SP is frontlit. If it had backlight the battery would be empty in no time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

If I could pay with pocket lint I'd buy one right now. Soon... Very soon... You don't have any GBA games yet? I'd go with Metroid Fusion or Zelda : A Link to the Past. Advance Wars and Tactics Ogre are also good.. It depends on what you're into. I heard Mario 3 is slated as the next Advance port. Final Fantasy Tactics is coming out soon too. Everyone should have a GBA. |
||||||||

You're spot on there mate. It is indeed frontlit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wise guy! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it's not quite as identical as you would think tho, but the main reason for getting it over the "normal" GBA is that frontlit screen because you could hardly see anything on the normal one, even when sitting under a lamp or daylight. One thing that could prove troublesome to me just by drooling at the pics is the positions of the start and select buttons that are now further removed from the A and B buttons. But it's probably nothing as it's a really small device and those pics make the distance seem further removed from each other than they are in reality. Anyway, nr.1 on my need to get list right now! Let us know how much ass it kicks Jedi Chris! |

xyramax.co.uk will fit a light to a gba for not much cash. they sell gba's prefitted too. im sure there will be someone in the US doing it.. |

that looks like a solid option for people who feel cheated after buying the original GBA, however I'd go for the SP if only for the excellent retro game&watch look |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I just use emulators to play GBA games. I wouldn't play it ''on the run'' anyway... I don't got the DeNiro to spend on GBA when I can get it for free, and with save states. But any of you guys are welcome to donate a GBA SP to me if you want! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll get you one but only If I can buy you a bunch of games to go with it. |

i got a flash cart for my GBA, 128 Mb... i thought i wouldn't have to make anymore GB investments and NOW they come out with this cool ass looking thing. they deserve to be ripped off. |
||||||||
|
|

I can hardly wait to play te GB game Top rank tennis, the best sports game ever, on my GBA SP and I'm gonna get speedball2 advance ;) |

*pats Gameboy Color* old school, biatch! i'm definately not buying one because the is way better than some shit gameboy that will be outdated in 6months anyday! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
metroid fusion btw, if anyone hasnt already played it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wont the powerbook be outdated too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Wonderfull thing - I'm so happy! The store where I bought it from were doing a special on the prices of the games....so I had the following Zelda: A Link to the Past (£10 off) Sonic Advance 2 (£10 off) Super Street Fighter II (£5 off) So all in all I came out of the store VERY happy!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

sweet :-) How does it play? I haven't seen a real one yet, but all the pictures make it look so small... i fear it might be too tiny for my hands. Not that i'll buy one (probably)... i'm more likely to buy one of those things that let you play GBA-games on the gamecube :-) (when it gets released). But nintendo needs to release some more new GBA-games first (otherwise i'll just get a 2nd hand snes from somewhere ;-)). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its very good! Getting used to the 'back' buttons now, the more I use it.... ..I like it - mine is black, to match my Gamecube. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yes indeed i do feel ripped off, again (i also bought a gameboy color, then the gba). but then its also kind of funny. main complaint about gba: no backlit screen. what does nintendo do? upgrade it and make the same mistake (no, frontlit screen really isnt that revolutionary and not much better than sunlight or your trusty old night-stand lamp), then they act like that really was the only option because a backlit screen would drain batteries. well who the fuck cares if you can recharge them? fucking idiots. also, they killed their own plans for gamecube and gba compatibility. i wonder if i should buy a gamecube or just wait for the next console. or the one after that, or.. |

10 hours of gameplay using the 'front lit screen' - more if you switch it off, and use it like the original GBA. The only thing I was surprised about was the lack of headphone socket on it..but there is a small adapter you can buy seperate, so I'll get one of them I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehhhh, you win some, you loose some. Nonetheless, no light source needed!! |
||||||||

But how long does that built-in battery last? I remember i bought a rechargable-energy-battery-type thing for the original game boy (official nintendo product)... and it worked fine for about a year and a half... after which it did nothing anymore. I even went back to the store, but they said there was just a maximum amount of times you could reload it... and i had used it up. Which sucked. And also normal rechargable AA-batteries can only be recharged a 1000 times. So does that mean eventually the GBAsp will become worthless? Still... if this means the normal GBA will drop it's price, i might get one of those ;-D |

I would imagine you'd be able to buy a replacement one....no different I wouldn't imagine from getting a replacement battery for your mobile phone - but if you're anything like me, you change your phone every 12 months...when the contract expires! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What a joy to be able to use the GBA in total darkness! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh okay... didn't know about that :-) I thought it was all just completely internal. So the battery is replacable? Sweet! By the way, if you're like me you don't even have a mobile phone, let alone replace it! :-p |
||||||||
|
|

i feel so cheated though for buying a gba (i got it like a year and a half ago and now this is it) alas I doubt i'll get it. i also have original gameboy and color gameboy which was useless. |
||||||||
|

I bought my original GBA last summer, so I didn't even have it 12 months! I gave my original to a good friend! :) |
