The GBA is one of my favorite handhelds I've ever played (close second being the PSP) and It's just the best of Nintendo's handhelds. My absolute favorite parts is that it can play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games along with the Gameboy Advance titles, of which the Gameboy Micro and Nintendo DS can only play Advance games. Another great thing is the display! The GBA has a nice clear screen, and no ghosting to be seen, in comparison the Nintendo DS (when playing GBA games) seems to have terrible ghosting and the colors are really saturated, though this might just be my device. Lastly it has a absolutely huge selection of games you can play (mostly thanks to compatibility with the Gameboy and GBC), alot of which are pretty good! It might be a bit on the pricey side (I heard the 101 is even pricier but I wasn't able to find one) but it's definitely worth the buy. :)Read full review

This is one of the most epic gaming systems I've used over the years. They still function very well despite their age. I will say that the only real flaw is that this one is extremely fragile due to the flip screen.

Here's a bright idea for those who are looking to purchase one of these great 'lil Nintendo portable gaming systems. This particular Onyx Black Game Boy SP happened to be the earlier Model No. AGS-001 When purchasing either new or used gameboy SP game system be aware & keep in mind that the 101 Model os the Game Boy SP features the same solid design as it's previous 001 model however the 101 model features a much brighter screen for greater viewing & provides an overall better gaming experience compared to the earlier SP model. Model 001 is great but the 101 Model is by far the greatest of the SP consoles Nintendo has released. Definitely worth double checking & looking into & asking the seller which model SP is for sale if the seller hasn't already stated specifically which actual model# Game Boy SP is for sale. If it's a Model No. AGS-001 you have stumbled upon while shopping around for an SP. I would definitely hold off until you can find a Model No. 101 which is the model of choice.Read full review
The GBA SP system is an excellent handheld system. It plays both Gameboy color and GB Advance games. I still have my SP even after getting a DS and on occasion will still bust out my SP to kick it oldschool with a GB Color game. If your looking for a system for a child that tends to break things, right here is your system. Nintendo still releases new games on the SP. In fact, many of the games that are released for the DS have a GBA version as well, not all though. The SP has a rather extensive library of games all at a reasonable price (something that can't be said for the competition...) that children of ALL ages can enjoy and add to that the fact that you can buy GB Color games for this bad boy and you've just doubled the gaming library. Nintendo doesn't seem to be dropping the SP any time soon, new games keep on coming. This is a good investment for those who don't want to shell out over a $100 bucks for a DS. Though I'd recommend the DS, the SP is still alive and kicking!Read full review
This was a First Gen GBA SP, meaning that the Backlight is on a different scale than the Second Gens (mainly because when the light is on a first gen, its like the light is off on the second) though for the first gen, its a plus and a hinderance, because the lighting is off on it, though it saves power, it hinders gameplay in darker areas. Gameplay is Smoother, And it is Back Compatible, meaning it can play old Gb and GBC games, but its also able to play even older and different games, depending on if you have a flash Cart or not... I dont want to get ahead of Myself, so i will Just say, Overall, i like the GBASP, for its virsatility, and the easier usage than the former one. the Li-Ion Battery is a good thing, but if you lose the charger you are up a creek so to speak. though you can buy them almost anywhere... I honestly prefer the Second Gen to the First, for i like how its backlit... otherwise, there is no real difference... That is all i have to say, hope you find this helpful...Read full review
