Which Gameboy had the best design?

The Gameboy Advance is my favorite hands down. I modded mine with a screen from a broken SP so now it is nice and backlit.

Is that a difficult thing to do? I have a spare circuit board and entire screen from a ripped apart front lit SP model. It may be something I want to do.

It is completely painless. The only thing that take a while is waiting for the ribbon cable to arrive from China haha. You have to special order it from a guy who custom makes them. It allows the SP screen to connect with the GBA circuit board because the ribbon cable slot on the GBA main board is a different size than the SP's cable. It took all of 30 seconds to connect the screen and a little bit of time filing down the plastic peices that house the screen so that the SP screen fits nice. If you would like to do it you can PM me and I can give you the guys email address, he responds very quickly.

GBASP was perfectly designed, perfect for portability.

The Color and GBA are probably the most comfortable to play on. Correction: the original GBA is probably the most comfortable controller/handheld I've ever played with. Light, the shoulder buttons are comfortable to use (a major gripe I have had with ALL Nintendo handhelds starting with the DS Lite (though GBA SP's shoulder buttons also sucked).

I also like their form function a lot. Specially the color's "butt" for the batteries.


And well I will always have respect for the Game Brick

That's interesting. I like the DS Lite shoulder buttons way more than the GBA and GBA SP ones. But, to each their own.

I always loved my silver Game Boy pocket. It was just sleek. Everything about it, I loved.

In terms of form factor I prefer the original, it sits pretty well in my hands and has a satisfying amount of heft to it. However, in terms of hardware design the backlit GBA SP can't be beat.

GBA SP by a long-shot.
