New Gameboy Advance Announced [ahaha]

The other major change is its clamshell design. Shaped like a cosmetics compact, the SP has its 2.4-by-1.6 inch screen built into its lid and unfolds vertically. It folds into a 3-inch square about an inch thick — nearly half the size of earlier units. "I like the fact that it folds down and becomes very portable," says Brian Farrell, president of game publisher THQ. "I think it's very appealing, perhaps even for an older gamer."

It sounds tighter than the tightest ass on the tightest girl I've ever seen.

RabbitTroop · Jan 7, 2003

I've been waiting for this since the first GBA was announced. Big N said they would bring out a backlit model shortly and never did... You know what, I was about to cave and get one now! But... here it is... the one I have been waiting for... Can't wait to get it,

Here is a link to a mock up of the new GBA:

Is this mockup third-party speculation? Or is it a mockup done by the big N themsleves?

afterburners are looking better.

Tom · Jan 7, 2003

Looks sweet about damn time for a backlit GBA. With this and the new GBA to GC attachment that is so supposed to come out thigns will get a lot better. Just thing a backlit GBA for the road and playing GBA games on your GC. THings couldn't get much better than this.

garou_d · Jan 7, 2003

looks sweet.

I'll probably get it.

thanks for info.

JHendrix · Jan 7, 2003

God damn it, they do a re-design/re-release of the GBA and they didn't put all 4 buttons on the face...

Still I'll buy one of these, prolly sell my old GBA for one. Still don't think it'll replace my NGPC though, gals fighters and LB are on the way!

Peace

X · Jan 7, 2003

I will probably get one when the price comes down seeing as I am still more interested in the GBA player. I would rather play it on my T.V., but its nice to have a beter option to use it on the road.

heres the black colored one:

I'll stick with the afterburner.

Tehcno · Jan 7, 2003

You knew it wouldnt be long before they went and did this. Anyone that knows me knows that I will be getting this too.

MilkManX · Jan 7, 2003

Dammit. That D-Pad looks worse than the current one and the L and R buttons look like a bitch to use for a fighting game even more than now. I think I might stick to my Afterburner GBA.

NeoTurfMasta · Jan 7, 2003

Looks like NCS is already preordering it.

EvilMike · Jan 7, 2003

Is the screen the same size?

I don't know the dimensions of the regular GBA's screen.

Magician · Jan 7, 2003

OMG!/PHAT!/BITCH'N!/HOLY SHIT!/SMOOTH!/TIGHT!...are just a few words I'd use to describe the GBASP.

I'm sold...
