Gameboy Advance ? in general

The gameboy advance is just one of the many excellent game stations produced by the Nintendo company. This time with many new features such as the CPU has a 32- bit ARM with embedded memory, the screen has a 2.9? TFT reflective screen, 240 x 140 resolution, 40.8mm x 61.2mm screen size, 32,768 possible colours and 511 simultaneous colours in character mode and 32,768 colours in bitmap mode. The GBA (gameboy advance) has a size of 82mm (L) x 144.5mm (D) and weighs only 140g, that of a mars bar. It needs 2AA to power it and you will be able to play for 15 hours straight. Its software format is cartridge and is gameboy colour compatible.

The GBA has hundreds of different games to suit everyone, with a wide range of accessories such as TV adaptors, links for multiplayer usage, e-reader, GBA-GCN and Blaze cheat system.

With its stylish design and wide range of colours, red, orange, black, platinum, blue and pink you are sure to love it, you can even take it out of the outer plastic casing and replace it with a different one so you can stay on top of fashion.

Its very hard going and if any of you are butter fingers it won?t brake when dropped (unless any of you like to play your GBA on a skyscraper, but I doubt it).

With new buttons, L & R you can use your GBA as a controller for your gamecube, it also features as a extra screen and (I think this is pretty neat). I brought a TV adapter and so my GBA acts as a TV but I?ve used the AC adapter to plug it in to my gamecube, I then brought a car adaptor for my gamecube so I plug the gamecube into the car smoking thingy I then used my ac adapter to plug my GBA TV into my Gamecube and so I can now use the gamecube in the car, as long as I?m not driving.

For the price of £90 pounds, with Rayman advance and a mains socket adaptor it?s not a bad deal. Get an attachable light though as the screen is hard to see in the dark and is very reflective. Nint
endo are producing GBA?s that have lights built under the screens for just £10 pounds more, I?d advise you to get one of those as it saves the hassle of putting the light on and off and it works better too.

After buying a Gameboy Advance I?ve never been bored- not once. There extremely fun for only a little amount so BUY one you won?t regret it P.S I am not working for Nintendo and I?m not trying to trick you into buying this-just so you know.
