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.""

  1. Similar to the new Game Boy Micro by meatflower · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The new Game Boy Micro (think GBA SP meets iPod Nano) has been noted for its much brighter display.

    I suppose Nintendo has decided to move the technology to the standard size SP as well...all of this development on what is basically a GBA I find puzzling. With the DS having been out for some time now I would think most people looking to buy a Game Boy device would look to the DS, especially considering it can be had for as little as $129 now.
