GBA SP tomorrow

It's out tomorrow. If this is your first GBA what games are you going to pick up? If it's not are you going to re-buy the Castlevania games so you can see what's going on?

All of the sites seem to indicate that it ships on Saturday. My local EB monkey told me it arrives on Saturday or Sunday.

Don''t tease me like this!

It comes out on Sat I thought. Gamestop just called me to say that it would be in at noon tomorrow.

Tease him Tease him!

I might pick up the second Castlevania or Metroid Fusion with one. I''m still not sure if I want the Cobalt blue one or not.

The EB here in St. Catharine''s seems to think it''s coming in tomorrow, which would be pretty snazzy.

If this is your first GBA what games are you going to pick up?

Tetris Worlds, Metroid Fusion, and hopefully try to find a good strategy game. Any suggestions?

No contest. Advance Wars. Excellent turn based strategy.

Why thank you sir! You could not have sold it any better than by mentioning ""turn-based"".

Well, has anyone seen them in the stores yet? I''m about to head out for a couple of hours and am hoping to aquire a new toy for the weekend. *fingers crossed*....since I work this weekend.

My local Futureshop (Canadian Best Buy) has them in stock today. I expect most places in the states do as well!

I''ve got mine and a copy of Breath of Fire 2.

Got one from EB today! Pretty darned snazzy. I actually like the layout a lot more than the regular GBA, but the novelty part of me wishes it came in the square box like the Japanese one.
I was playing Metroid Fusion for a while and I was sort of impressed, but also like ""okay, this is not that great..."" Then I turned off the front light. Whoo! What a difference that makes!

Damn you people with your money and ability to buy things.

""Then I turned off the front light. Whoo! What a difference that makes!""

What? You mean you turned it on?

I''ve been waiting for this goddamn gadget for a while now. I''m almost afraid to call my gamestore and ask if it''s there. They''ve been saying ""It will probably be here next week"" for the past month, I think they hate me now

I think I''ll wait till next week.

I got mine, Hoochie already had a go at Zelda and I''ve put a half an hour in myself. It''s a snazzy unit and the lighting is damn near perfect, I can play it pretty much anywhere.

I think this unit will be a big hit.

What? You mean you turned it on?

No, it''s on by default. When you turn it off you''ll be like ""where''d the screen go?"" It''s pretty funny.
I just played an hour of my new copy of Metroid Fusion on the SP and I find the GBA SP more comfortable than the regular GBA.

How much longer until Final Fantasy Tactics? Advance Wars 2 on this is going to rock.... I might even pick up Super Mario Advance 3

Ahhhh Nuts! Everyone around here is sold out until next week. Guess I''m gonna have to actually work this weekend afterall.

(Stick fingers in ears and shouts) ""lalala I''m not listening I''m not listening"" I can''t afford one and everyones saying it''s good, I hate my lack of money sometimes.

Boy do I hear ya there, brutha. I''m lackin'' the skillz to pay the billz and get ma thrillz with da gameBOYZ.

Well, after being raped for 160 dollars, I have a nice and shiny GBA in my hands. I played the new Kirby game for about an hour. No eyestrain or anytHing, the light is great.

IF anything, the problem are the controls, I think I''d have problems using the L and R buttons. I''m not sure how to position my hands.

But it''s a damn cool unit

I dislike the new GB SP.. I used my friends for a while on Sunday and sure enough its too small for my hands.. I found the shoulder buttons too uncomfortable to use for any lengthy period of time...not to mention just trying to find a comfortable way to hold the damn thing..

Personally I''m sticking with my GB Advance with Afterburner mod..

Shame though..I really do like the looks of the SP. The clamshell formfactor is pretty snazzy.
