Nintendo to announce new version of GBA

  • Thread starter Thread starter A5
  • Start date Start date
Lighted (front light, like the AfterBurner), Flip-Up Screen
Light is able to be turned off
Rechargeable battery pack included 10 hours with the light on, 18 with the light off
Clamshell design, folds into a 3-inch square, an inch thick
Roughly half the size of the previous GBA
$99 Price Tag
On US Shelves March 23

It sounds like they are listening to people about how crappy the screens are now.
 
So is this gonna be the exact same thing only smaller, folding, and backlight? Is this actually confirmed or is it just some planet gamecube thing? Hmm sounds interesting though, might have to sell mine and get one of those ones.

Those SOBs, why couldn't they have made them like that in the first place? I'm not gonna get a new one, I'll just put an afterburner in my current one. That linked site is down btw.
 
OMG! Heart attack! I had no idea this was coming, I hadn't heart a whiff of rumors!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.

And back to my normal state...

It's a seperate piece of hardware that you hook up to the GC. No GBA needed. Lets you play all the games, pretty neat. Can hook up your GBA also and play 2 people on the big TV 😛

The GameGear is a great example of how backlighting was a problem. 6 AA batteries that lasted 2-3 hours :disgust:

There is a Gameboy Advance emulator out for the XBOX. Of course you need to own the GBA and original cartridge to play the roms.
