New Gameboy Announced

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-eyes-thank-them dept.

Xenex writes "From Planet GameCube: Nintendo today announced a US March 23rd release date for their Game Boy Advanced SP system. The GBA SP features a clamshell design that when folded is 3-inch square and an inch thick. The unit will also be also front lit, and totally backwards compatible with all previous Game Boy software." As any GBA owner can tell you, the screen in earlier models sucked pretty terrible. I'm looking forward to trying this one out.

    Nintendo announces an upgraded GBA, and all you slashbots do is complain about the old ones (some of the most successful game appliances developed). Some people have 20/20 hindsight. Oh well, here are some more links:
