I could buy:

GBA SP - £100 inc a game, which I can take to canada, if/when.

Viewtiful Joe - Something to hold me over until I go

Fifa 2004 - But when I get back from canada there'll be fifa 2005...


So, what do I buy?

Wario Ware. Inc is very very addictive. It will keep you going for ages. There are tons of stuff to unlock and when you finally have won everything, you just wanna do it again. 200 microgames on one tiny cart and with bonuses like 'Dr.Wario' it is a great buy.

Don't know, I have to have an operation first, and I've still not heard when it'll be.
It's peeing me off though, the waiting. I can't really get a job because I don't know how long I'll be available, so I'm just hanging round, waiting.
Hence why I need a new game :^)

Hmm.

Forget FIFA 2004, straight off. I'd say get an SP really, for the lasting appeal, but the damn things are so overpriced that (if it's possible) a GB Player would be the best option. Viewtiful Joe is essential, but in your position, I wouldn't think it's appropriate.

Out of those three, a GBA SP is the best bet.

I'd also say you should get the 'SP - for your trip to Canada.
It'll give you something to do in your spare-time over there, if you're feeling 'new' to it all and still don't know what's-what during your first-week-or-so.

As for games, you could either go for a long-lasting RPG like Golden Sun or Zelda, or perhaps something you could pick-up-and-play, like, maybe Advance Wars or something... But it really depends on how much you intend on playing games over there. But I'd go for an RPG, anyway, since you can only afford one. :)


No use buying a 'Cube game if you're only gonna rush through it before you go, never to see it again until you get back - if even you're not already playing another game!


When are you going again?
Have a good time! :)

Now to decide on the games for that...

No chance, I'll be setting my sights at far cheaper women than that

Old habits die hard :^)

Get the GBA SP, pick up Viewtiful Joe when you get back, and remember to buy an AC convertor so you can charge the SP up over there.
