    Default My impressions about GBA SP

    The New GBA SP in my opinion looks better but it lacks 1 good thing ,control's. In my opinion,when i tested it yesterday at a local game store near me,The system was super small,smaller then expected from other people.It does look like a pocket clock in person but when you first put your hands on the system,you'll quickly realize that buttons are way too small and are in wierd places.Even the L and R buttons are way too small for people who have big hands and it's going to be a pain in the butt.The system was good but i'd really like nintendo to make another GBA Sp system that has larger buttons for people to reach.

    Overall
    System 10/10
    Sound 10/10
    Control's 5/10
    Light 10/10

    I got a chance to hold the GB SP mock up that some of the Gamestops have and I've got to say, even with small hands I got a Charlie Horse trying to hold it. And stupid me--I thought maybe Nintendo finally means it when they introduce the color blue into one of their systems. That's more purple than blue IMO.

    I love my super cool black import one. Other than the way it is shaped I love it,I never really liked the way the GBA looked/was shaped.

    I must admit the design of the original GBA was prohibitive for placing my fingers on the L/R buttons. Are your fingers more prone to curling around them with the GBASP, Six Switch?

    I bought an Afterburner kit for $25. That should do just fine.

    If you've done this mod to your GBA, please see here:
