Here is er-no's lowdown on the ickle machine with loads of power...
The Game Boy Advance system is 32 bits of power in a housing that's the same length and width, but even thinner than Game Boy Color. It's just the right size for slipping into your pocket. One of the best statistics of the GBA is when you connect four GBA systems at once you can get a whole new level of multiplayer action! With some games, you can get multiplayer action by sharing only ONE Game Pak! (MarioAdvance)
The GBA screen is a whooping 50% bigger! People ask me then, 'its gotta be massive!' Its not massive in anyway infact it is just the right size.
What is the big difference? Well er-it has two new buttons that add to the gaming control and movement when playing, infact sometimes you can use the buttons and you don't notice you are using them, it becomes a habit when playing F-Zero.
Just like the GREAT iMacs, you can pick the colour, whether it be to go with your room or your fridge.
Surely with a screen 50% bigger the battery... Let me stop that question there because just like the Family Fortunes noise when you get something wrong, the batteries last 50% longer then the GBC, I don't understand, where did the power go in the original gameboy?
Talk about portability the game paks are half the size of the original gameboy paks!!
Plus you have the LightBoyAdvance which is something that attaches over the top of the GBA, and is endorsed by Nintendo (so it fits) and it works brilliantly.
'Mum, I am going to bed early' will be the new call!
Future Connectibility of the GBA is something to really look forward to, lets just wait and see on that one.
Because the GBA is backwards compatable you can play any GB game that you already have (enough said).
Just one last thing, when your dad asks you to turn the volume down, don't moan, just plug in the earphones and you have some sweet sweet music!
