Ok so the SP's been out for a while now but I refused to jump on the bandwagon, Nintendo pissed me off with their seemingly incessant releases of GB revisions, GB, GBC, GB Pocket, GBA, GBA SP... So like a fool I turned my back on GB and cast a blind eye whenever it was mentioned.
However, having a key position at an EB Games store of your own does make it a little harder to ignore the GBA so one day when it was quiet I decided to crack open our display GBASP and pop in a few GBA titles... excitement and awe followed... Even now I find it hard to believe just how advanced (no pun intended) the GB has become, I sat there playing games that I played on the yester-year consoles and in all fairness were marketedly improved versions of their predecesors. Then came Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, now I love the FF series but find them too long-winded, so I expected FFTA to be a short dumbed down version of FF.... uhh... WRONG!!! I was blown away by how much they were able to pack into this miniscule catridge, it's remarkable really. I tried out Splinter Cell too and was quite surprised at how well they captured it on the GBA after all it was quite a breakthrough on the X-Box and PC.
So, needless to say, I put one on Layby and after a fat paycheck last night I picked up the GBA SP along with Sonic Advance (part 1) and oh boy oh boy, am I loving it or what!
The only downfall to the GBA is that now I have a whole new plethora of games to purchase from, and I already spend far too much money on games.
Anyway, what games do you guys recommend, keeping in mind that I dislike and top view games like the original FF's, isometric is cool though.
p.s. anyone played Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon yet?
