Buying a Gameboy Advance in 2022 - but why?

Can anyone help me find a place to buy games, I have a gameboy advance sp and it still works perfectly but every game i find online is bootleg and can't save, i want to get pokemon for it but I can't find real copies anywhere, or read the japanese ones. Also great video!!

Will CeX allow you to sell them a modded backlit OG GBA?

I'm too broke to buy a gba from anywhere online. I quess I'll go back to my modded 2ds xl.

I know I’m in the minority but I’m not a big fan of the GBA SP. It’s a cool piece of industrial design but it’s way too small for long play sessions and it doesn’t have a headphone jack. Those are just deal breakers for me.

This is exactly why I want the Gameboy Advance. I have an SNES and I miss it when I go on road trips and wanted to play retro games on the go. When you said it's basically a portable SNES, I was hooked. Thank you so much!

I just got the game boy advance just to play the original pokemon game 🤣

I used to own a gameboy micro. I kinda wish I still had it now just because of its rarity.

I want buy the game boy advance SP.

Why?because games are great of course 😋

Any advice on where to buy one and is it still only batteries 🔋

I have a 3DS, and in my opinion it's the definitive way to play Game Boy/GBC/GBA games, as it fixes all the problems with unmodded Game Boy Advances, plays the entire library (the good ones at least, but if you find a ROM online you can use NSUI to turn it into a VC) and you don't need to carry around cartridges. Game Boy games are very small, Mario Kart super Circuit being only 49 blocks or 6 megabytes and Game Boy Tetris being only 31 blocks or 4MB.

Please share a link to buy a gba AGS 101….

Where did i get this, i really wanna buy a gba 101...

where did you buy the shell casing for the modded OG GBA?

🎮 DE JEUX 🤟🤟🤟😁😁😁

As a collector, I have an IPS modded GB Advance as well, but I have to admit: I don't like playing on it because the best way by far to play GBA games is the PS Vita. The screen is so much bigger, very vibrant and also the form factor of the device and the control pad are much more comfortable. Plus, playing GB/ GBC games on the GBA is horrible, the screen is extremely small then. On the Vita GB/GBC are looking very good and with comparable screen size than on a GB Pocket. For me the PS Vita is still the best allrounder in terms of portable retro gaming because of its outstanding screen and form factor.

Final answer

how did u get that gameboy i really want one

I was given a Frankenstein GBA on a swap meet years ago and I found it a week ago and I went ahead and modded. Now is great if it was released like that it could have been the greatest portable console of all time.

The shell with green buttons is so cool 👍

Anyone else notice in the old GBA commercials that the screen looks backlit?

I just bought a Japanese GBA and I didn’t know it can play any region of gameboy games. I had the US one when I was little in the 2000s and I’ll honestly keep it original when it comes to the light it never bothered me

Great video!

Guess this is targetted to me XD. Just bought 1 from japan for like 42...but shipping was 20... 62bucks.. wish i couldve gotten it cheaper for the modding its gonna get

I just bought a fuchsia gameboy advance for 80 dollars.And I want to mod it

To answer your title for this video. Same reason we all buy one…Haha. It’s a great system! I’ve been collecting for it for years. Not a good time to get into retro gaming though. All the great games, and gba models are going up more and more. Love the modded screen, just did the same thing to my gbc.

Great Video. I still love my old GBA [AGS-101] especially because it comfortably fits in my jeans pocket. Just a shame i get cramps when i play for longer than 30 minutes on it because of my slightly bigger hands :/

We have the same vibes cause im also getting one 👀
