Rating: 4.24/5 from 388 reviews Gameboy advance is great!Technology has Advanced for the Good!The GBA (gameboy advance) has the same power and graphics as a SNES (super nintendo entertainment system), only about 75% of the size. This system already has some great and classic titles such as Bomberman Tournament, Mario Kart:Super Circut and Mario Advance. The fact that you can link up and play with 3 friends makes it even better than the SNES. It even has the added bonus of being able to with some games, play multiplayer with only 1 game pak! It will be compatable with gamecube as a controller. You could use it for a screen in sports games to select plays without the other person seeing what you selected. There is also a Kirby Tilt n' Tumble 2 under developement that uses the GBA as a controller and has a separate game for the GBA too. It has an improved battery life of 15 hours compared to the GBC 10 hours. The GBA also has the ability to play Gameboy and GBC games. When playing old games since the GBA's screen is bigger, if you press the L/R buttons you can toggle between wide screen and GBC screen size. The only things that are wrong with the system is that it is not backlit so you need exterior lighting and the fact that when you play old games they stick out the back a little bit. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a portable gaming experience. You'll enjoy it! The Game Boy Color was a joke, this is the real next step.I've had this GBA for a few years now, and I'm glad I got it. Though you are better off getting the SP model since it has a backlit screen and rechargeable battery, this basic model is nice too. It runs on 2 AA batteries, and doesn't drain them (regardless of brand) as bad as the Game Boy Color did. What you're getting is basically a handheld SNES/PSone. The GBA has mighty fine graphics for such a tiny system, just check out Iridon 3D. It's a terrible game, but has fantastic graphics (especially for a launch title). And the widescreen helps in some cases. When playing GB/GBC games on it, just tap the 'L' button and you'll go from fullscreen to widescreen. But a really cool feature is that all GBA games are compatible with all GBA systems. You can import x game from x country, and it'll play on your system. Go buy the Japanese release of Bubble Bobble for it and go nuts. There are a lot of good games you should go for: -Sonic Advance 1-3 The reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because most of the "must have" games are just ports from other systems. All the Marios, Zeldas, Donkey Kong Country, etc. have been done before. The GBA needs more exclusive games that are of the same quality as the ones I mentioned. Mario & Donkey Kong doesn't really set the standard for what Nintendo was once known for. There isn't a whole lot to say about this nifty little system. Anyone who knows anything about gaming knows that the Game Boy incarnations have always done well and provided countless hours of entertainment. But you could do a heck of a lot worse than a pink GBA. Though for some reason, Amazon doesn't seem to have any in stock. Is it discontinued now? Oh well, you're bound to find pleanty at just about any store that carries gaming goods. | ||||||||||||||
The size of the Advance is perfect for adult hands as well as child hands. Its perfectly laid out so your thumbs arent bumping together and wearing your knuckles to the bone. Its nice and lightweight so you're not resting this on your lap during long gameplay.
I like the backwards compatability of the system so I dont have to get rid of all my GB Color and original gameboy games. I also love the larger screen that doesnt make me go blind trying to squint to play.
The games available for the Advance are extensive and are classic Nintendo style games. Basically this system is like having a handheld super nintendo, you're not going to get the graphics of a Gamecube or Xbox and this isnt supposed to behave like that.
I do like that 2 AA batteries are included with the GBA... I'm always ticked off at companies that wont scrimp for a battery for their product.
I would love to see a GBA include at least one game with their system package so the system would be playable straight out of the box, but that may come in time.
For a handheld, this system is tops... just buy a light
