a shout-out to Gameboy Advance SP
Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:20 pm
just wanting to ramble a bit, about my initial experience with the GBA-SP
I figure if it has all the GB/GBC/GBA games available and it makes GB games colored
it has "widescreen"(?) and I haven't recharged it since I bought it, about 2 weeks ago
of course I don't play it "all the time", but sufficiently to make any DS/PSP having to be recharged at least twice by now
from what I heard the GBA-SP battery lasts for 18 hours (I bought mine factory-new), how true that is, I don't know
but one thing is for sure, it's been running far longer on one charge, compared to my DS-Lite
and on-top of that, the only reason I kept my DS-Lite was (apart from Giana Sisters DS, of course) due to being able of emulating GBC games on it
I've not to this day bought a GBA game, but there are a few titles I think look interesting (Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc.)
but the main reason I have it, is to play my GB/GBC games with
it's absolutely brilliant in playing old games, as you get not only backlighting (I have a worm-light for my GBC, but that's nowhere near as good as this), you also get the chance to enlarge the screen
this may not work well for all games, but it works perfect for the Zelda games, etc.
all in all, I am strongly in favor of voting the GBA-SP to be the best damn handheld on the market
it's got 3 generations of games and if I'm not mistaken, it is also able of emulating a little bit (correct me if I'm wrong)
it has 3 generations of strong titles for handheld and a battery-life that outlasts anything current-gen
it's as many bits as I will ever need (although I mainly stick to 8-bit)
and it's foldable!
