Gameboy Advance
The bright sparks at Nintendo R&D have crammed in a 32-bit CPU in a case that's pretty much the same size as the regular Gameboy. A bigger, brighter screen with a higher resolution is totally sweet, it'll even play video clips. The new shape fits in a pair of L and R buttons for more control. And sound is covered by not one but TWO sound chips squeezing every drop of noise from the speakers.
All these new features really eat battery power right? Nope, get this - the batteries last longer, 15 hours per pair of AA compared to the previous 10 hours. Score!
The goodness doesn't stop there. The GBA is totally compatible with all your old Gameboy games, black&white or color. The only thing it can't do is the Infrared link. Instead it can handle four-way link cables for multiplayer action. If you're not in the mood for multiplayer, you can hook up a color camera, printer or even plug it into a Gamecube and use the GBA as a controller.
Not only can you play all the games that have ever been made for Gameboy but Nintendo's hoping to line up 130 different companies to make games for the GBA. They already have a decent lineup of games. Here's a list of what's to come:
Bottom line: June is going to be a good month for gamers. There are tons of games you can play on it with plenty more on the way. It plugs into the Gamecube. It does four-player multiplayer. What doesn't it do? Your homework, but that's about it.
Harry Potter is the Coolest!!!!
