GBA SP. Rechargeable battery, and backlight.

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, Final Fantasy: Tactics Advanced, Fire Emblem, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Sword of Mana, Lunar Legend, Yu-Gi-Oh games (give them a try, unless you just hate card games), Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, Megaman Zero and Megaman Zero 2, ugh...

Anyone wanna try to refresh my memory? :P

Gba_sp

Games: Mostly what Neto has listed, mayb add Advance Wars 1 and 2, Mario and Luigi, Yoshis Island (Top Platformers) Harvest Moon, Sim City 2000

[element-skater]

um.... well it depends on what kinda games u like... if u want sports u mite like Tony Hawk.. or ATV games... it all depends on wat u like to play.

[Forsaken]

well I bought it and my first thoughts

backlight cool
overpriced games
compact
not worth it :tdown:

that's right folks, my opinion on the GBA SP is negative here, if it was all cheaper man, FFS I am paying up to 70-80 bucks for games that I can buy from ten bucks and play on my SNES 32 bit graphics? and they wanna charge that not gonna happen

so tomorrow I'm taking it back for sure

[Forsaken]

ok just my mind I am keeping I may as well

[[N]eto]

Hmm? Are you keeping it or not? :P

First Off SNES has 16 bit graphics, not 32. That was PS1s graphics.

Australia.

@ Oddball: Actually, they both have 32-bit Graphics.

[Forsaken]

I am keeping it

gonna buy FF tacticts advance or mariokart next week probably

[Good Ol' Redneck]

yea i fergot taht other places are a lil higher than usa sry forsaken:ganja: :beer:

[Oddball]

I think u should import from the US. Youll find GBA games way cheaper, puts less of a dent in ur wallet.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

yea you should they are alot cheaper man:beer:

[Oddball]

And Besides theres no reigon lock on GBA systems, so no matter what, they will work with mod chips or any of those thingamagigs.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

what you mean lock man? :beer:

[Oddball]

It means GBA doesnt have Region codes like PS2, XBox and Gamecube. All systems have it.
PAL(Europe and Australia and some other countries)
JAP(Japan)
NTSC(North and Latin America)

Region codes disable u from importing games unless modifided with a mod chip. All GBA systems work the same so that doesn't happen.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

oh i know what you mean now didnt know tahts what it was called:beer:

[Forsaken]

but if u knew nething about exchange rates by the time I do import I've spent about the same amount of money unless I get them second hand or from ebay or something
]

[Good Ol' Redneck]

search for like a used books and cd's store around where you live thats where i get all my games:ganja:

[Forsaken]

or... you guys could send me some games to help me get started...

[Good Ol' Redneck]

i would man but my mom dont like me sendin games or loanin them out to my friends so they aint no way i could do that fer yee man sry! still friends right? :hmm:

[Oddball]

I bought mine SP(again sighs) Here are some good games to start with:

Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga
Breath of Fire II
Sword of Mana
Golden Sun 1+2
Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire

[Good Ol' Redneck]
