thinkin\' about buyin\' a handheld...

GBA...hmm....is it any good? maybe someone who own one can tell me? what game should I get if I do get it?

In my opinion, yes, buying one would be a good idea.  Lots of good games, lots of replayability and the fact that you can take it anywhere makes it that much more worth it.  I recommend importing a black GBA from upstategames.com for 95 bucks.  Not a bad deal considering it\'s an import system.  Also, no need to chip a GBA or anything because the system is region free with everything and plays any game from any territory.

I purchased one late last year and I like it...I am planning on getting Tekken Advnace, DOOM, and Metroid 4 when it comes out (Now all I need is a zelda compilation (zelda 1,2,3) on the GBA and I will be happy...the gba is a 32 bit system and zelda 1-3 were 8 and 16 dont see why they couldnt do that.....))




:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

Good idea, I know how hard it must be choosing what to buy with so many handhelds out on the market nowadays. :rolleyes: If you don\'t mind buying a 12 pack of batteries every other day, the Nomad is a good choice, as is the GameGear if you want a cheap alternitive. (Kicks azz with the TV tuner)

Overall, the best portable I could reccomend is a Laptop with a ton of Emulators. :P

i may hate nintendo, but i love my GBA  

i also play my game gear alot
great system but i nicknamed it, "battery eater"

I used to play my Game Gear forever, until some bastard stole it!

They\'ve started selling them again for some reason.  You can pick one up at some stores including Toys R Us for like 30 bucks...  If you\'re interested anyway.

But yea, get a GBA what with Mario World and soon Mario 3, F-Zero, Golden Sun, Mario Kart, Castlevania, Advance Wars, Tony Hawk, Chu Chu Rocket, and Sonic Advance.  Unless you\'re broke, it\'s silly not to own one.
