Hello, I'm back. I've been pretty busy over the last few weeks, but especially the last couple of days. Valantine's Day meant that i had...um...duties to perform and stuff. I went bowling yesterday too, so that was another evening filled with fun but not with games.
Anyway, I digress. I've just experienced a lovely little import add on from the land of the rising Sushi, a great little adaptor for the Gameboy Advance. This plastic add-on, about the same size as a GBA battery grip, allows you to play your GBA games on your home TV.
Ok, you may be thinking, the GBA is supposed to be portable, and you'd be right. But this little baby lets you take your GBA anywhere and plug into someone else's TV. Not only that, but it enhances the resolution of any GBA game so that the resulting display is something more like a PSX game. I tried Mario 2 (on import) and Advance Wars with it and they were very tasty indeed.
Imagine being able to take your GBA to your relatives' house and plug it in to their TV while the old people talk about boring stuff and do the usual relative things, or going on holiday and still being able to play games on a proper TV without lugging a huge hunk of console with you. Nice. Rest assured that this handy little gadget is coming to these shores, it has been so popular in Japan, and the £100 price tag for an import will certainly put a lot of people off getting one early.

Ah, but that's the beauty of it. I didn't buy it!

£100! The GBA itself is £35 cheaper!
