These days, there are just so many different companies that are just competeing into the handheld console video game wars. Nevertheless, with companies that've fizzled like Sega, and Sony's recent debut with the PSP, there is just so much to look out for, especially from Nintendo. Since the late 80's, their Game Boy has been the main trademark as one of the most successful, and the highest-selling video game system of all time. Yet, it also has gotten better with so many different improvements. Yet, while Nintendo is equally conjuring status with their DS handheld, the Game Boy still is a favorite.
The Game Boy Advance SP with the Peral Blue color, is a unique and compact device, that can play all different Game Boy Advance greats like Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario World 3, the mini-game madness of Wario Ware: Twisted, and newer favorite like DK: King Of Swing. It is easy to carry, and cost so much less for anybody who wants a game system. Not only that, but you can also play earlier versions of Game Boy classic games like Kirby's Dream Land, Tetris, and Super Mario Land, as well as Game Boy Color games like Pokemon', and others as well. Yet, so many others are considering ther DS and the Game Boy Advance Micro as other considerations as hanhelds because, of their quality and games instead. While those are great, for anybody who owns those earlier Game Boy Games, you won't be able to play them on those handheld games systems, just here.
Anybody who loves games will defnitely want the Game Boy Advance SP. This is a great game system, and I love it because it is so affordable, and everybody loves it. I honestly recommend this handheld over the many others. I guarentee it.

Best handheld ever! September 24, 2005

Nintendo has presented us with a tough choice: the new GBA SP or the Game Boy Micro. I was thinking about what I really wanted out of the Micro -- the bright screen, and the better ergonomics and controls. BUT the screen is tiny, and the SP's screen is plenty small as it is. I'm 35 years old and while my eyesight is perfect, there's no need to ruin that with a postage-stamp sized screen.
So I bought a baby blue metallic new-screen GBA today. There are other pictures on the internet comparing the old and the new, but none with that old-time Atari flair that we know and love! Here are some screenshots of the Activision Anthology on the old and new system, side by side. It's difficult to photograph these things, so excuse the quality of the pics. This game has some bright, vivid colors which are NOT done justice on the washed out old-style SP, but they really come alive on the new one.

Finally, there happens to be a video game system that can have the feeling of success of all gamers alike, with the femine feeling of a pink color. That has been something many companies never thought would ever happen by a longshot. That is the case with Nintendo. Since they came up with the idea of colorizing and personalizing their Game Boy systems back in the 1990's, many companies haven't caught on to the handheld success and unique distinction. While so many might've considered white, black and grey, nobody would ever believe it at all, at last a pink Game Boy.
Nintendo Game Boy Advance in Pearl Pink is a convient video game handheld that appeals to all gamers alike, men and women. This handheld is sleek and convient that you can take it anywhere. You also have the ability to play Game Boy Advance games like Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Brothers 3, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, Warioware: Twisted, and so many other great Game Boy Advance titles out there. You also have the backwards compatability on this system of earlier Game Boy titles from the Game Boy Color, and the original Game Boy era, going all the way back to the late 1980's. The gameplay is fun and still distinctive to its constant appeal, and the price fits for all consumers who have a distinction for a video game system to call their own.
While so many might be interested in other systems like the Xbox 360, Sony's upcoming Playstation 3, or anything else, the Game Boy Advance from Nintendo is a delightful joy for anybody who wants classic video gaming, at a affordable price of fun.

 Why not buy a DS? October 13, 2006

Why would you buy this now? It was really cool a couple of years ago but you should buy a Nintendo DS. It will play all the GBA games plus the DS games for only a little bit more. They've already stopped making games for this system. After Christmas I highly doubt they'll even have games available anymore. Get a DS. Just trying to be a buddy and help.

If you are a Game Boy collector and freak like myself and own all the classic games up to the Advance then you must get this new system. They finally fixed the screen colors as if you were watching a mini TV. The colors are rich and clear as ever. I have the older SP and put them side by side and turned them on at the same time and the difference is remarkable. You can't turn this new and improved system down. You finally have a Game Boy that plays all the original games with great color. Every game I put in there looked so much better. You definatley won't be dissapointed.
