    I got a cheap mp3 player sitting around (I don't even use it anymore) and someone wants to trade it for a GBA. So what do you guys think ? Are there really good games for it ? (appart from the pokemon series plz )

    It comes with Zelda: The minish cap which I know is an awesome game. Another question: Does it use rechargeable batteries ?

    ps: Don't tell me to get a DS. I'm not getting that expensive shit

    Unless the GameBoy Advance is different to the SP edition, it just recharges with a little cable thing like a mobile phone, same as the DS (Lite).

    The only game I know is fairly good is Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, plus all the Mario games that've been lovingly ported.

    For GBA I liked Advance Wars , Mario & Luigi Superstar saga (definately not a port), and Final Fantasy Tactics. . . those are the ones that come to mind right away.

    I think vivi had Mario vs Donkey Kong which was like the last great GBA game.

    My favorite game is Donkey Kong Country. DKC 2 is much harder but still fun. Gonna try LEGO SWII for GBA.

    GBA SP > GBA imho.

    Haha. The GBA SP is a bit brighter so it's not that bad. I don't know if the normal GBA has a backlight at all.

    Amazing how technology has moved on though. The GBA SP screen looks like an iron age relic when you whip out a DS Lite. The DS Lite can light up your damn room on the highest setting and still lasts about eight hours. D:

    yeah the regular GBA is horrible because about the only time when you can see the screen is when the planets align and jupiter explodes, then you'd be able to see the screen. The sp's backlit is a must if you get a gba
