Cry into your cereal as you realise you will probably never even see one in the flesh, let alone own one:
Famicom SP

yeah, i had seen this one... nice concept but really ugly! ; )
(if i was buying one i'd take the red one, or silver one... i'd buy one but it's really expensive, even more expensive than a gamecube - and the games aren't cheap either)

Games = not too expensive if you use a flashcard, *ahem*...

Erm no- that's the point... it's the original Famicom (Japenese NES) colours... the "chassis" is just like a normal SP.

They are not a bunch of twats at all, they took their top selling hand console, and improved it big time!

and how would YOU feel if you bought the 'inferior' model, merely a few WEEKS before this 'new and improved' gadget got released?
just as gb pocket became inferior to gbc, then gbc to gba. and gbc hasnt had a very long life either, even though it had potential (tetris dx is great).

I'd feel cheated, I supposed. But being the Nintendo fan I am, I knew of the SP launch long long before it came into the stores. Besides there are stores, like GAME here in the UK where you can trade in consoles.....so I would probably would trade it in, and pay the nominal difference! Job done - quit simple really.

apparently, they'd also release a new design of GBA SP for the 14th anniversary of the game boy: picture....
....i hope it's a fake o_O not only it's very lazy and nothing really new (they just assembled to halves of existing ones!) but it's ugly!!!

I love it how it looks. I've seen someone offer it on a dutch auction-site for 150 euros. Still expensive, but affordable... i was very tempted :-p
But to get it just for it's looks... it seemed like a waste of money.

"if you bought the 'inferior' model, merely a few WEEKS before this 'new and improved' gadget got released?"
Nah, i still think the old gba is better. I prefer how it uses ordinary batteries. Also i've heard stories about how the GBA SP ehr... i have no idea how to say that in english :-s.
But you know... at the point where the two halves are connected, that point wears out relatively fast, and after a few months already it becomes less stable and doesn't stay open as easily. I also think the old GBA looks more comfortable... altough I must admit i haven't played on an SP myself yet.

This SP was released to commemorate the Famicom's 20th anniversary in Japan...
What you want to bet they'll release a NES-flavoured one in 2005 to mark the NES's 20th anniversary in the US/UK?

That would be fantastic and I'd almost certainly get one, even though I'll of probably switched to an SP (rather than normal GBA) by then. They'd better do it with the lower section controls looking like the old nes pads and not just do a cop out lower section dark greu upper section light grey...
