Why It’s Fun
Every kid who is into Game Boy Advance knows why it’s
fun. But this is easier to carry, has a backlight and is rechargeable.
All of those elements add value. We found that the controls
are just as comfortable to work as the traditional GBA.
Who’s Going To Love It
The game screen is the same size as the current GBA but thanks
to the slim new flip-screen design, the SP folds up, and you
can easily stick this little electronic wonder into any pocket
for true portable game power, which is sure to appeal to huge
range of fans. If you are new to the world of Game Boy Advance,
this is a great place to start.
We expect that this is also going to appeal to the older gamers
who have complained about the difficulty of seeing the GBA
screen in certain lighting conditions.
What To Be Aware Of
Don’t freak out and think this means your entire GBA
(Game Boy Advance) game library is now worthless. All current
and future GBA games are compatible with the SP model. In
fact, Nintendo will continue to manufacture and support the
current GBA system. The GBA SP comes in Platinum and Cobalt.
The battery will last for about ten hours of game play and
takes three hours to recharge. However, the Nintendo geniuses
behind the SP have included an on/off feature for the Front
Light Screen and turning the light off allows the battery
to last for approximately eighteen hours before it needs to
be recharged. So, for those times when you don’t need
the light, like playing at a desk in a well-lit office, you
can turn it off and get another eight hours of play time out
of your GBA.
