The new GameBoy Advance is worth getting! The sound and graphics alone make it a great buy but throw in the 50% longer battery life, 50% larger screen, and stereo sound it's a must have. My batteries lasted just under 24 hours of play, 9 hours longer then advertised. The old Gameboy games will work on this new system. Using the "L" and "R" top buttons you can change the screen width while playing the old GB games. The system is faster, better looking, light weight, and very fun.

the drwaf is a giant

The Gameboy Advanced is easily worth the 100 bucks I payed for it but are the games worth it? I own EWJ, F-Zero, THPS2, and Mario Adv. These games are good for a while but lose some of their zest. The system itself is cool with its speed and game technology. EWJ brings back our old Dirt Munching pal but not for long. This game can only be beaten all at once. It has no coninues. BURY IT! F-Zero is a great first game showing the action in the games. It combines a classic game with fast paced excitment to make a great futuristic racer. THPS2 is good for an experinced player. the controls are hard at first but become easy with time. the Levels get really hard near the end, BAD FOR PEOPLE WHO ANGER EASILY. Mario is a good game for allplayers. it combines challenges and fun. plus multiplayer and Yoshi's challenge will keep you buisy.

Great System

GBA: This system is awesome. It has great graphics and its in color, with much more color then the GBC. Also, you can play your old games from the GB and GBC on it, and its puts them in color!

Wormlight: This is perfect for people who want to play at night. You can move it around and if you find a perfect spot you will be able to see the screen perfectly and not have the reflection of the light on the screen.

Battery Pack: This is perfect for people who dont feel like wasting money on batterys. Just charge it up and put it on. The only downside is that it adds a lot of weight to your GBA and can sometimes be awkward.

Pouch: This is the dumbest carying case I've ever seen. Youd be better off going into your kitchen and grabbing a brown bag. It only has room for your GBA and a few games.

THPS2: This is a great game. It has all the skaters from the THPS2 on all the consoles, and the graphics are great. The only downside is that it only has 6 levels, but it doesnt matter cause it is a fun game and you could be entertained for hours on one level.

Fire Pro Wrestling: This game is dumb. The moves are impossible to learn and when your fighting you cant even tell whos who.

This is great!!

This is a must have video game machine to own. It is light weight and very good graphics. This package is a very great deal for what you are getting. You get the power pack, worm light, TONY HAWK PRO SKATER 2 (which is an excellent game) and FIRE PRO WRESTLING, and the carring case! Big savings!! It has 32 bit graphics and has a bigger screen than GBC. You can play it easier than GBC because it is much wider so you can spread out your hands more. There are also 2 extra buttons added to this machine for more control playing the games. It has over twice as much colors than GBC. Nintendo has made a great improvement with the Game Boy with new technology. This is a limted time to get this special pack. Get it now and you won't be sorry. This is a great deal for a great video game console. So get it now!!

The Gameboy Advanced is practicly a handheld Playstation and for Tony 2, it has incredible graphics. The Wrestling game is just horrible which is why I give it 3 stars instead of five. The 20 hour thing is useful when your mom/dad won't go buy you batteries or your on the road. The strap is a good protector for the GBA. The light is just a light. I recomend you go buy the F-Zero package or Mario/Tony package. I bought the Mario/Tony before and loved it ,but it got stolen and now I have this one and didn't like the retarted wrestling game. Buy this package for Tony and the GBA.

Super Mario Advance RULZ!

If you've ever played GBA's Super Mario Advance, you know how cool this game is! It's 2 games in 1 feature make it totally awesome. With S.M. Advance's 7 worlds & 22 level's, this game is made for Mario Lovers! Then, in Classic, the three different modes make this game even more challenging!! Somthing that has helped me tons in GBA is my Nintendo GBA magizine. It has all kinds of tips, tricks, & maps! If you don't have a GBA, I'd get one REAL SOON!(don't forget your S.M. Advance game & a light, too!)

I have seen the Light....not

Did they bother to test the system in this market at all? The graphics are luscious, the sound is killer, the controls are a vast improvement. Almost everything about this system is amazing. But the screen? ARGH! No Backlight equals eyestrain which equals headaches which equals bad system. I have to twist and turn the unit to try and catch the most light possible, but in most circumstances, it is still a miserable experience.

I seem to remember another of their can't miss systems (Virtual Boy) failing miserably because of one chief reason. The graphics, sound and concept were great, but they foolishly decided that monochrome was the way to go, even after us gamer's had been spoiled by full color displays for years.

I hope they receive an overwhelming amount of criticism for this and they feel pressured to add a backlight, but knowing Nintendo, they will be stubborn and ignore us. I would gladly pay $30 to $50 more for the backlight, even if it means shortening the battery life 50%. I hope this helps any would be buyers.
