100% correct, sir. Why Nintendo had to abandon that style still confuses me. This is why I play almost all my GBA games on my GB Player with a Super Famicon controller.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I prefer buttons on the left/right of the screen, not below.

Ehh i may have to get a gba(original model) soon anyways my sp I can't get the door off again(purchased one off ebay since the original went missing after I left all of it on the table and oddly the only part missing). Ah well it was bound to happen sooner or later that I was going to want one....even though I've been half tempted to really start playing my gb/c/a games on my gb player...the games feel and run amazingly on that compared to on a handheld....

Well then play on a gb player! Hate to say it but even though it's more expensive than a decent disk, probably the best way to play without looking at the screen for a normal gb console :?

Sadly I do not own a Gamecube, or most of the games I used to have for those handhelds. If Nintendo would be a bit more cooperative with the Virtual Console that would be awesome; I own a 3DS and a Wii U...

Well you could also go the route of emulation but honestly I still prefer to play games with their hardware...

I finally beat the second Liberty City level in Grand Theft Auto. Now I'm wondering if I should take a break to preserve my sanity, or to keep playing since I completely wasted the level when I did finally beat it.

Is it me or, are the 3rd party joysticks made for the Atari 2600, and 5200, better than the first party ones included with the console.

I went through 2600 sticks like crazy back in the day. I wore out many of those Epyx 500XJ joysticks with the comfortable grips and buttons underneath -

Microswitches for the win! But I have a Slik Stik that works incredibly well even to this day.
