    Gameboy Advance SP!?!

    They are making a new version of the gameboy advance! It's a smaller, fold-out style, with a backlight (finally), a internal battery (yay! No more spending cash on energizers!) plus, it looks pretty darn cool. I just want to know what you guys think about it, or have even heard of it. It should come out sometime in march costing around $99.99 a little pricey. But you'll be saving money from buying stupid batteries

      [opinion]Personally I think it is bullsh*t. The hardware itself is impressive but Nintendo has really, really, really pissed a whole bunch of people off by announcing this so late. About half the world got GBAs for Christmas, including a good majority of the friends I know, and announcing this after Christmas has gotten quite a few of those friends hot under the collar. They just spent $60 on their last "limited edition color" GBA and then Nintendo turns around and releases another special edition for which my friends would have waited on if they had known prior to getting them for the Christmas season. It was a very poor move by Nintendo businesswise because now that everyone already owns a regular GBA, no one is going to shell out the extra money to get the backlight feature. They're going to have to return/pawn/trade in the old ones before making the new purchase worthwhile.[/opinion]
      Tech wise, the new GBA seems quite well developed. Compact design, backlighting and a decent power supply. Now if we could just get Nintendo to make some original games for it...

        Agree

        Yah, I already got a GBA last year, but i need another one. I have four sisters who also like video games and we always fight over who gets to use it, but we also have a gamecube which fixes that problem!

              And make gaming even more mainstream than it's already become? I'll pass on that one.

                  Oh yes. You are cool and "underground" and you need to play "oldschool" games so the "mainstream" kids won't like your "classic gaming" when you play battle toads 1 on NES over and over

                    I guess so.
                    My Saturn or Dreamcast get played about 10X more than my Gamecube, PS2 and X-Box combined. If that makes me cool or underground, whatever, I just play what I like.

                      Retro gaming is the shit. I still have my 8-bit, and I play crysalis all the time. Along with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. Good shit. And sony is not mainstream, they have had some of the most innovative games ever.

                        I agree sony should not merge with nintendo!!!

                        Nintendo brought out obscure classics like MonkeyBall that sony would never release

                        As for retro gaming i enjoy a retro game now and then

                        LIKE SMASH TV OOO THAT RULED!!

                        but i still love new games like Xenogears!

                            Hehe, Sony is MAINSTREAM. It's the most mainstream out there. Name one, totally awesome game that Sony developed (not published).

                              First off, I'm not trying to 'be' anything. Second, I can admit when I'm defeated. I admit that sony sucks for innovation on their game development front. but they own some of the best development companies. Square/EA/Enix ring a bell?
