My GBA SP came through the post on Saturday, but I wasn't able to play on it untill yesterday, as there was no-one in when the postman first attempted to drop it off.
I currently have 5 games for it:
Metroid Fusion
Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island
Go Go Beckham!
Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (US)
I love the console, and the front-light. It's perfect for playing it in darkness, but I still find that outside light can reflect off the screen and annoy you, even with the light on.
Which game have I been playing most?
Not Metroid, not Yoshi, and not even THPS 3, but...
Go Go Beckham!, would you believe!
I can't quite explain why, but I love this game, and would reccomend it to anyone who likes platformers, or games that are just 'fun-to-play'.
Then comes the old Zelda game I must've had for nearly a year, now. I haven't played this for so long because I couldn't figure out how to dispose of the very-first dungeon-boss - but it was oh-so-simple yesterday, and now I'm really getting into this game - just like I have done with Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker.
I'll definitley be getting A Link to the Past, and a few others!
Metroid Fusions's turned out to be an even better game than I was expecting, and it makes me want to hunt-around for the other 3 Metroid games from the series, before it. But I haven't played this game much, just because Beckham's game is so much fun!
Yoshi's Island is pretty good, but it's not quite the Mario World-like experience I was hoping it would be. Losing Baby Mario when you get hit is quite annoying.
And I can see why so many people seem to like the Tony Hawk games even on the GBA, and how well it works. Even the music is impressive, for a hand-held game! But with No.4 on my list for GameCube games to get, I doubt I'll be in possesion of NGC's "un-wanted" for too long.
Now all I need is a GC link-cable, some cases to store the cartridges, a console storage-thing, and my headphone adaptor to arrive in the post.
I love 2D games! :)

I so want A GBA SP my friend has one it looks and plays like a beauty
It's just fun!
You get to run around kicking a ball at enemies, do keepy-uppies, and... Well, it looks a lot like Mario World.
If you like fun, little platformers, you'll like it.
