Classic Game Room - NINTENDO GAME BOY ADVANCE review model AGB-001 

Things changed once the plandemic happened. Prior I had bought one for $15 cad

I just bought one for $97 total 🥲

Just got a gba and gbc from an old lady off fb for 60$ total 😎😎😎

30 dollars is now 60, inflation ruins everything

Now they are going for close to $100 or more for the Target version

Yeah you're right it feels so natural, if they pushed in a bit like the gamecubes L and R I think it would have been cooler. I love the micro's l and r too if you've played that

@@Whurlpuul I haven't, but they look well-placed. Less corner nubs, more length-of-my-finger buttons.

I say the joycon Zr and Zl is superior. Far superior to the L R of the joycons though

@@chan13153 Those are triggers, and my declaration applies to shoulder buttons. Glad the Z buttons work so well for you, though.

Christmas 2003 my first handheld, with Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Tony Hawks Underground 2 i think i'm gonna cry :')

Marcos Vazquez I remember many Christmases back... My parents got me a Toys R Us limited edition Pikachu GBA SP, along with a Switch N Carry Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team bag with the game... :")

*inserts Napoleon Dynamite "lucky" gif*

Marcos Vazquez XD What's your favorite GBA game?

I'd have to say up 'til now my very first game for the GBA, which was Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. And yours dude?

The GBA had Skylanders way before Skylanders, what an amazing console.

+raidensnake9471016 no these figures are from an anime I remember it being called Blaster

Hadi Hakam not the point

+The worms inside of the dirt well can you confirm what the name of the anime is?

Hadi Hakam sorry, i haven't got a clue

Its good that I am not the only one who noticed this :)

***** Feel old now D:

that's why it feels old. Jk. I had the gameboy color which was stolen by a housekeeper, one of the events that hurted me most when i was a kid

+Julien Harms no, it's the BEST handheld, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its an improved gba

I still play my sp with the mario advance games and pokemon. I got it instead of a new 3ds :P

gba is good ,its just a cheap handheld snes basically. most of the good games on it were snes game remakes and reboots ,same as the DS was sme as a n64 just a bit more powerful ,between n64 and gamecube cuz it could play metriod 3d

Let's be honest, you should go tuck yourself in.

MegaDrainProductions same but still have mine

MegaDrainProductions Almost same, mine was purple,

I know me too

MegaDrainProductions im going to buy one soon

I bought a clear pink fushia gba bundle today :D

Matthew Walsh where is that?

Julien Harms Value Village?

Julien Harms If you are wondering about Value Village it is also known as Savers in some areas.

I got a limetid edition for 22£

I got a broken GBA for free at my local retro game store, and now I got it all fixed and modded to give to my friend for Christmas. New black shell with red buttons, glass screen, frontlight, and I want to make it rechargable but I haven't yet.

SuperMushroomTitan I got one today

Maxximuss The Potato Overlord why can't time go faster when I want it to

I FINALLY GOT IT IM SO HAPPY 😁😁😁😁😁

That wasn't a mistake Henry Ford had three and it was powered by steam It was a joke

I'm pretty sure batteries would cost a lot more than the extra 30 cents per month.

Nick Clinite rechargable batteries?

rechargeable AA's are pretty cheap. I just use those. Doesn't the SP not play GB and GBC games?

Rick's Channel The GBA SP plays GB and GBC games. The DS was the first Nintendo handheld that didn't.

Nick Clinite Not only that, the SP plays them in color!

***** You mean from regular alkaline batteries? Hmmm... Did you perhaps leave them in there for a long time or in the heat?

Bought a whole pack of Duracells for my GBA and camera, but I know better than to leave 'em in overnight.

MSGSlayer1 I leave my batteries in my GBA over night, and nothing happens. So I think it's ok to recharge the batteries. Even though I don't have a charger( I bought mine used), I don't think it would it would hurt to charge the batteries.

there were 2 gbas in my household (mine and my sisters). both of them got fucked from battery leaks! granted we left them in the gba until the batteries were dead but we were kids we didnt know.

During the launch of the GBA target (it's an American store kind of like tesco) had a special GBA preorders list thing and all the GBA's shipped to the persons house came with the target logo on it

I am fully aware who target are. I'm asking if it's a replacement screen or they actually sold GBAs like that.

Nope it's not its like labeled onto the gba itself

USA USA USA

***** I think that he didn't live in space in 2012, I am not sure tho... but if anyone lives in space, and want something, they just put in the adress "[spaceship name] [location] [random numbers]" Hope I helped :) (The bad thing about living in space is that you have to pay extra [about $10 or $20 more])

3. It's also more comfortable 4. It's more Sturdy

AVGN made an episode about Bearenstein/Berenstain Bears.

I just hate the SP. I find it's design and shape just horrible. For me, if the advance was backlit it would be the best console of all time.

theCreator The SP folds, protecting the display and the buttons. My Sp has a beat up outside (it has hit the pavement a few times) yet all the buttons function perfectly and the display is flawless. My Game Boy advance original has a scratched screen, and the buttons barely work. You need a lamp to play otherwise you can't see shit. And even if you do have a lamp, it's reflecting from the screen back to your eyes and again you can't see shit. The batteries need to be replaced every now and then. The sp has a charger. The L/ R buttons are better on the sp, they're easier to click, and the square shape of the sp fits your hands amazingly better than the bulky original advance. The only thing where original beats the sp is the heaphones port.

***** dude the advance is way better sure the sp folds and keeps the buttons good but you an just get a case for your advanced and so for the light get an attachment or get one custom made with a back light and the l and r buttons eat shit on the sp bro the advance is way better and looks better and feels better :

***** I'm just telling you that the SP is better. I know about this stuff cause it's a big part of my life. I've played a lot of games on both the SP and the original. I have both, I can compare them anytime. If you want the original, go ahead buy that one, but I already told you many reasons why SP is better...at least IMO.

***** The only thing which the SP beats the advance in is the backlit screen. I bought a battery charge pack, so batteries were no issue. But I'll admit the screen is a bit annoying.

Iamthe64 Sounds like they were never your friend to begin with.

Yeah they were dicks

+Iamthe64 I remember my friend had a 3ds while I still had a dsi, and he played original ds games with me still

Iamthe64 Lol that's fucking bullshit. At least they could see the screen...

That sounds like something that pc gamers do: Ditch all your friends that play on consoles because Gaben will send you to death row if you're friends with console peasants.

How else do you think darwin came up with the theory of evolution? From science? No! Playing Pokemon!

+Kyubey . That's only if you bought it from there.

i have vhs tapes with that logo on it

+shane moriarty Chi gameboy advance

You can buy a new screen without the target logo on it for around $5 on eBay.

Ikr

+Dr. Steve Brule you can get the olde GBA modified with a backlight, hell Gameboy had a Gameboy light range.

Haruhi Suzumiya I got both of those.

Dr. Steve Brule pity the Gameboy Light line was absent in Australia how about your country?

Haruhi Suzumiya It was only released in Japan so you would have to import it or buy it off someone who did. USA didn't get anything outside of the normal line. It is a pretty good alternative to the Pocket/ OG Gameboy and works well especially if you like your games in green. I also have a front-lit OG Gameboy with a black and white screen and a chip that reduces the ghosting and I prefer it over the light thanks to the better speaker the GB has. The back lit GBA is nice as well, but suffers from ghosting and a wonky speaker. For that I prefer the Revo K101+ clone unit that comes with it's own proprietary flash cart. Really nice clone that is better than any of the original hardware devices.

Dr. Steve Brule it wont be bad, I'm in PAL and I've found a Universal adapter for N64 100-240V which I might shove into a JP Pikachu N64 for my delight.

That's what I'm planning to get too. I loved the SP at the time because I had a lot more options on where to play with the front lit screen, but ergonomically it was a step backwards.

same for me. it just broke easier. I accidentally dropped it on its screen when it was shut and it lit up but no picture. *sigh*

nintendo made a big mistake?so did sega,as long as sonic genesis and 06 exist.

Flip86 ikr

Flip86 *THE PLOT THICKENS*

Now it is possible! I made a video on my channel doing it!

BraveBird the worm light?

Randomark3087 I concur 3ds just pales in comparison the games are a walk in the park.

raidensnake9471016 Ok after long research I have found the game and I will answer my own question in case anyone is curious about it...the title is called: Bouken Yuuki Pluster World: Pluston GP developed by Takara and released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance, it features innovative gameplay with real life figures that appear in the game, so in other words it used the same concept of shitty Skylanders but EIGHT YEARS BEFORE. It always makes me smile when people think that game invented this concept when in reality the japanese have been doing this since 2003, the only problem that I have is that Pluston Gp is a rather obscure game so barely no one knows the true story behind the Toys-to-life game concept. Oh and if anyone is wondering, yes, I HATE Skylanders very much because they ruined the awesome game series that was Spyro The Dragon.
