Gameboy Advance SP Reviewed & Disassembled

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lets-get-in-there dept.

lotech writes "lik-sang has a review with full photos of the new Nintendo Ganeboy Advance SP. Not just supplying heaps of photos they have even beaten the pack on voiding the warranty and include heaps of internal photos. The handheld market is heating up with new releases from Nokia too and also the feature packed GP32. Oh and maybe then there maybe some Sony competition soon?"

    "New front light screen"

    Sounds a lot like engrish to me.

    "GameBoy SP new and much enjoyable front light screen! All GameBoy games can you have play!"

      It's the same in Japanese, actually. They just use the English. :)

    Frankly, I might have bought more games for my GBA if I thought I could actually see them. Instead it sits in a drawer except for occasional forays in good lighting. Nintendo can go to hell if they think I'm going to make the same mistake twice.

    Games like this?

    Or buy the GBA games that you want, download (or rip) the game ROM, and play it on an emulator.

    Hm...

    Why don't they put a hand crank on the side so you can recharge the thing? Then they could have a really bright screen and a fast power-hungry processor. I can see it now. All the kiddies playing their games and cranking on the box like a monkey! Well, okay, more like the organ grinder who owns the monkey. In fact, the game's goal could be to keep the unit charged. ;-)
