GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen

Posted by samzenpus on from the brighter-than-ever dept.

PSXer writes "Nintendo has quietly included a much brighter backlit screen into the new Game Boy Advance SP Graphite and Pearl Blue colors. From the article: "Though all that's changed between the classic GBA SP system and the updated ones is the screen technology, the difference is night and day. The new system kicks on with incredible brightness and clarity in its display right from the start, and the improvement becomes even more obvious with each game you stick in the system.""

    But where's the incredible Gameboy Revolution that you can throw like a dart or kick like a soccer ball?

  3. Brighter light=shorter battery life by jurt1235 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Plan to win a head to head game:
    1. Take your original GBA with dim light
    2. Play a game against a person with a new brightly lid GBA.
    3. At a certain moment the other one just stops because he ran out of battery power. You will still have some minutes left. => Victory!

    I've whipped out quite a few things while riding a bus and the NDS was one of the easiest...and the least criminal.
