Oh my God! That is soooo awesome....

I offically <3 Nintendo now.

Omeganitros · 05-17-2005, 09:30 PM

If it's cheap, I will buy it.

suicidalmuskrat · 05-17-2005, 09:39 PM

yeah, that looks cool.

jewpinthethird · 05-17-2005, 09:52 PM

Well, I've been meaning to buy an SP..but I'll wait it out now.

Ardor · 05-18-2005, 09:11 AM

wow I might actually think of getting this only because its a NES controller but with a screen mounted into it XD

Kenzya · 05-18-2005, 12:28 PM

It's pretty cool. I do believe the screen is actually smaller.. I just recently bought a GBA SP cheap off of someone. While this does look cool (I will still probably look in to it if it's cheap enough) it doesn't look quite as nice as the GBA SP.

I was freaked out when I saw it yesterday.

banditcom · 05-18-2005, 08:56 PM

I held onto my iPod pretending it was the GB Micro...

..yet the Micro is supposedly a hair bigger than the iPod Mini... yowzers...

I already have a GBA though. It's the regular one, but I have the Afterburner light installed.

StarOceanFanboy · 05-19-2005, 06:57 AM

I have an SP, but the R button doesn't always work... now I can have a good looking GBA game player that has a headphone jack (the SP headphones suck). I just hope it's not too expensive..

Tasuke · 05-19-2005, 03:28 PM

It's A NES Controller. I need this thing now! I love Nintendo products.
It looks very nice and I will buy it. The most it will go for is $110, but i
think that's still more than what they are gonna charge.

gamesrebellion · 06-5-2005, 10:22 AM

Its not quite an NES controller, it does have L and R buttons.
Its hard for me to decide to buy one or not, considering I got a DS last X-mas, but its a real pain to play GBA games on it (the button config just doesn't agree with me), and I have an old GBA, but that's not backlit, so kinda useless. I'll probably pick one up if it's like $80 or so. Or maybe I'll buy a cheap SP once this comes out. I don't know. Depends on how great that screen is gonna be.

Yeah, because I really want to pay more money for the same system three times in a row? Sure, Nintendo is all about innovation. All I'm seeing is rehashing of the same design, nothing innovative, especially that thing they call a 'Revolution.'

seconded. I don't really have any desire for this.

Anticrombie0909 · 06-5-2005, 02:00 PM

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna buy a game system with a 96kb video chip when I have my PSP sitting right next to me.

You act as though everyone in the world has purchased a Gameboy Advanced.

This shouldn't be for anyone looking to buy a gameboy advance. This is (Or at least SHOULD be) more a gimmick type thing for all of those who already have a gameboy advance. ...Who wouldn't rather have a fliptop (protection) and bigger screen (quality) anyway? I'd buy this but it wouldn't replace my GBASP, or even my GBA for that matter.

The thing is I don't think it can run GBA games because the games for GBA are noticably smaller than for the Gameboy.

plasmix · 06-6-2005, 03:48 AM

It can play both.

There is a Gameboy Advance cart in the system in this picture.

gamesrebellion · 06-14-2005, 06:46 PM

I think when that comes out, the SP will be even cheaper and I'll buy an SP because I tend to scratch anything unprotected.
Depending on how bright that screen of theirs is, I might get one though, even though I have a DS, it's weird to play GBA games on it because of the blank extra screen and the two extra buttons that you want to use.

Afrobean · 06-15-2005, 08:49 AM

This looks awesome and all, but I feel the SP still has it beat. Screen protection is the one thing that the PSPs lack and so Nintendo decides to rehash the SP without protection? That doesn't sound logical to me.

Either way, I'll probably end up getting one eventually just because it's so sexy.

ToshX · 06-15-2005, 08:55 AM

PSP has the shittiest screen protection of any console that I know of. I'll buy this over an SP because half of my handheld games are Gameboy the original.
