The NEW Game Boy Advanced is the greatest advance in hand held technology ever. It has all new features (ex: 2 new buttons, new games (Tony Hawk 2). It has the greatest potential for the future of Nintendo, with the New Game Cube coming out in November it can work as an another controller. I have seen Game Boy Advanced and looked at all of its specks and it's a major improvement on Game Boy Color, with long playing time on just 2 AA batteries, lager screen, better resolution, and in height and length it is the same size of Game Boy Color, but thinner. Game Boy Advanced is compatible with Game Boy, and Game Boy Color game's which gives Games Boy Advanced one of the largest game libraries, and more games are coming out soon. Game Boy Advanced was one of the Best Buys I ever made.

Wicked awesome!

This Game Boy Advance system is really advanced! In fact, this new Game Boy edition reminds me more of Sega Geniuses rather than Game Boy Color. It's much better than Game Boy Color and definitely better than the Game Boy that I have, which is the original, non-color one. Anyways, the graphics on this Game Boy Advance are incredible, and they're in 3D. Also, it's in color. The sound is pretty good, too. And the games this Game Boy Advance pack comes with - Super Mario Brothers and Tom Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - are fantastic. This Game Boy Advance can be for anybody...not just kids. Even adults might find this interesting and entertaining. Although I do think the price is kind of high, but it'll probably be well-worth it if you can get your hands on this. I can't believe the first day this stuff went on sale Amazon.com was already Out of Stock! Oh well, perhaps Amazon.com will get some new ones on sale. But until then, you should find someplace else where they have this available. Definitely better than the original black and white Game Boy and Game Boy Color put together! This is so cool (and this review is coming from a 17-year-old teenager!).

Age makes a difference.

This was a great gift for my 9 yr old son. The games have great graphics and he has enjoyed them both. The screen could have more light. It is dark. But we have found this is the case in all the games. My 6 year old also got the Advanced and different games but I think older children seem to enjoy it more so.

THE PERFECT BUNBLE

First of all let me start off saying GBA is the most powerful gaming system. IT IS BETTER THAN NEO GEO COLOR!! It has 32 bit graphics with a risc prossesor. Even though it is 32 bit that does not mean that the graphics will be as good as playstation but who cares, for a portable gaming system 32 bit is excellent.

I would also like to point out that the screen is a bit darker and it does not glare much. In other words yes you can see what your doing.

AH yes i bet that all of you are wondering about the battery life and of course the sound.

First let me start off talking a bit about the battery. Two AA batteries are required to play GBA but the good thing is that the play time is extended by 5 more hours. That makes 15 hours of non-stop fun.

Now lets talk about the sound! The sound is greatly improved but, for example in super mario advance the characters voices get extremely annoying

Now lets talk about the games. Tony Hawk 2 has the best graphics out of all the games released so far but i would like to add that it is a little bit hard to control. E3 has done a grat job with this game

Supa Mario Advace- you know i actually expected this game to be something new but instead Nintendo really dissapointed me. The game has two original games, Super Mario and Super Mario bros. 2 which are two good games. Well thats about it. Isnt this review pretty good for a 13 year older who only sits around playing gba and computer games! PS sergey berig

..........eh?

The Game Boy Advance-(GBA) is soon to be released here in the states and all the gaming magazines are all over it. There is 1 negative review I read on amazon.com by a gamer from Takoma, MD, USA. He must have been eating a few to many corn dogs before he went to sleep because his review stinks. I doubt he has even seen a picture of the GBA none the less play one. From what I have read In trustworthy gaming magazines and on www.nintendo.com the new console is awesome! Also, your old games for Game Boy and Game Boy Color will play on it. This bundle pack comes with a MARIO game wich I have heard good things about, TONY HAWK 2 wich is also suppost to be good, a WORM LIGHT to play in the dark, a POWER PACK so you won't need batteries, a HOLSTER to carry the GBA and protect it, and the GBA CONSOLE itself. I recomend every serious gamer buy this system that already has a launch library of about 500 games, will you ever get tired? i am not really 1. he, he, he.

Advance is Putting it Lightly

Game Boy Advance offers a plethora of super powered features that make playing games on this portable system delightful. For example, the playing screen is much larger than the system's predecessors, the orginal Gameboy and Gameboy Color. While the screen is larger, Nintendo has made sure to make Advance as light and portable as its other wireless systems. Further, the power in this little gaming computer will amaze children and grownups alike. Game Boy Advance has even more power than the Super Nintendo that enjoyed certain popularity in the mid-90's. This beefed up power insures rapid character movement and a plethora of vibrant game colors.

The only drawback that I have found to date concerns the game screen not being backlit. While you can easily purchase a "Worm Light" for the system that will enable appropriate lighting for game play, be aware that there are tons of different Worm Lights on the market, and not all of them are compatible with Gameboy Advance. Therefore, look specifically for Worm Light PLUS.

Other cool accessories include a super-charged battery pack that allows users to play the system for over ten hours without running out of energy.

The Best Handheld System Ever!!!
