After watching this review. Now that I have a PS3 PSP and DS LITE I miss my old GBA:SP :( umma go buy one at GameStop. Sell old games I don't like from my ps3 games and buy classic GBA games starting with Super Mario Bros.
I got a game boy advance (not sp) because a friend gave it to me for free. I really like the games for it. I think the problem with DS games is that they take wii games and try to turn them into DS games, which end up not that great.
Really?! I just bought a GBA with a backlit screen, and at the store, there was an Atari 2600 for $20.00, and an N64DD for 50 bucks!!! CHEAP!!! I live in Canada but I went to the USA to buy it. The store was called Game Craze.
I didn't even know there was an earlier dimmer version, I guess I lucked out :o I love my silver SP, it still has that sturdy 'bunker buster' feel the earlier Gameboy had, at least compared to my DS. Isn't to say my DS isn't sturdy for what it is, it's just not as sturdy as old Gameboys or Nokia phones.
A GBA SP with two or one analog sticks and near next gen graphics would be sick. Forget the other screen, the clamshell with more power would be a plus (y)
Back when it was released I was really exited about the backlit screen because before that, the only way to play at night, without a bright light on, was that weird clip-on magnifying glass with built in lights which was pretty heavy and hard to get off the damn GBC ^^
this was my first handheld and my second black and blue the model is ags-001 and i still own my gameboy advance sp to this day with tony hawk pokemon and street fighter2
i got a gameboy advance sp for my b-day when i was like 6 from my grandparents. my favorite game was a spiderman game that had venom in and it was AWESOME and im probably gonna buy a new charger so i can play pokemon saphire (ill order them both at the same time) but can anybody recomend a game for me?
yes the micro did come last, but it did not take gb games, or link cabels, or e readers, or gb cameras, or gbc games, it only played gba games, thats IT, no one likes to talk about them.
i got my gba sp a while ago, like when it first came out. now, its all scratched up, the sound quality screws up sometimes, and he light to show whether its charged or not doesnt work. (i may have just charged it overnight and it might still show red) but i still love it to death! i would never think of getting rid of this thing :)
I'm going to be honest, I bought the GBA in 2001, and got the 2003 sidelit SP as a gift in 2003. I actually bought this solely because of the screen being backlit. I just keep my GBA and older SP as spares should it break or something, and I bought an extra 2001 GBA used before GameStop sold them out. Just as a spare, I love this handheld!
I'm so excited to get mine in the mail!! I remember playing this when I was younger and I was so stupid enough to give mine away along with my gba and my playstation 1 >:(
@theFloxie D: My friend who "grew out" of Pokemon might be giving me all his Pokemon games. Including Ruby and Emerald. :P I could mail you the Ruby... LOL
the flippable screens are why I kinda hate the way sony designs their portables. their screens aren't protected and Sony doesn't even give you a free already installed screen protector(they dont include it cause companies pay them so that they can make a money on screen protectors). Game boy advanced SP is definitely the definitive game boy handheld.
@didogazeto dont complain to show us how much money u got , the fucking sp costs 25 $ , and there aint any japanese version sadly , there are only chinese , but the chinese looks quite beter cause they sell all colors u know
Hey my friends... Have you connected a gameboy advance sp to a wii console for gamecube compatible games? I'm trying to do it... but I can't and a I don't know if the cable is bad or the console or if I have to do something especial to begin to play... Help!!! Any Help is welcomed! thanks
@viniciomartinez i dont think it'll work,bud. nintendo started acting like total dicks around the gamecube was out and it doesnt surprise me that they would drop all compatibility with the GBA to the wii. by that time,they wanted ppl to start buying DS's...
@dogmanx88 Yeah that could be possible... but I'm a little bit confused because some people say that you can connect it to a wii console... :S Thanks for your answer man!
Amazing console. Ive had atleast 5 of these because people have literally just handed me them. Im Finally done getting them i have only 2 a red one and a dark blue. I have bought a light blue new shell for my blue gba sp it will b in the mail tommorow or next day ill make a vid so stay updateD
With the utility companies jacking up their rates now owning a smaller ac powered portable game system such as the Gameboy Advance SP is an ideal thing to have if your a hardcore gamer.
@MinuteBracelet the model that he has (the AGS-101) i think has the backlit display. the one that you are talking about i am currently holding is the AGS-001 model and that one is a frontlit display.
... i just got a gameboy sp with pokemon red version (i was about 7 years old when it (pokemon red ^^) comes out and i loved it ^^) i didnt know that there where 2 versions of the gameboy sp out so i got the AGS-001 -.- why did i not view this video a couple of weeks ago ??? shame on me ^^
U forgot about the better one that kicks SP's ass -_- "gameboy micro"
