Nintendo Game Boy Advance

Nintendos Gameboy Advance was the model that followed the extremely popular Gameboy Colour. The Gameboy Advance packs some great new features, the unit is now held sideways with a widescreen LCD screen, this makes it a more immersive experience when playing. The unit has added shoulder buttons to it and of course it has updated specs to provide graphics with greater fidelity. Upon unboxing your Gameboy Advance, which comes in many different colours, you won't receive to much, just the usual handful of instruction manuals, the handheld itself and a couple of AA batteries to get you started. No demos to play nothing! Luckily the Gameboy ...  Read the complete review

I got this as a replacement when i dropped my gameboy in the bath. Despite trying to dry it in the airing cupboard and even taking it to bits to do so, it never worked agaion, so when we went to America, Disney World to be specific, i was given gamebiy advance as a present that christmas, as wel as the amazing trip to Disney World. But would every kid think so at age 10!! Anyway this new gameboy was a bit of a scam it was the same but a different shape. the graphics were still as good or bad whichever is your take on them, and it still had the same games, as wel as new different shape ones which you couldn't fit into the old one, so later that year as the ...  Read the complete review

I recently started a new job which pays weekly. I received my first paycheque 2wks ago. Did I save it? No. Did I invest it? No way! What did I do? I just had to run out straight away and buy a Gameboy Advance with two games from "Toys R Us" didn't I? It seemed the only sane thing to do when you receive a wad of cash for the first time (I'm a student, I suppose I could have spent it in the pub!) So I went on a mission to Toys 'R Us, friends in tow and browsed all the different packages. In the end I went for the Ultra package which contains a GBA, Mario Advance and F-Zero + a Travel Pack with power adaptors, rechargeable battery pack, ...  Read the complete review

A good console which is more comfortable to hold than its predecessors (Classic, Pocket, Color). With a bigger, brighter screen and added L/R buttons, this is a great console, but perhaps lack some of the 'retro' look and feel that the others had, though that's hardly cause for complaint. The L/R buttons are a nice addition for extra control, but they aren't used in many of the games. However, if you lack co-ordination to a certain degree, it can be a bit tricky to concentrate on the direction controls as well as four other buttons. The game Boy Advance can take all previous Game Boy games, which was a relief because as soon as I started ...  Read the complete review

I brought one of these as soon as it came out, it was the best handheld of its time, large screen, good graphics, as well as supporting gmaeboy advance games, it supports the gamboy colour and original games. One particular set of games helped sell millions more of these, The pokemon games. The only downsides to this console is the fact that (like ones before it) you cannot play in the dark, unless you have a light, or you have the gba light that can plug into the gameboy advance, which then drains your power fast. Another is the shape, once you get used to the normal gameboys the gba feels weird and uncomfortable, it also has a bit of weight to ...  Read the complete review
