I also fail to see the sense of this. Any GBA also plays GB and GBC. What's the use of this?

Gimme the case and put a raspi in there with retropie, now that's something. But this? Nonsense.

the idea is probably that its an aftermarket product.
there aren't that many gbas in great shape.
gba sps batteries are giving out left and right too.

I believe retrobit products don't load ROMs or anything, so that just makes this a crappier GBA.
The DMG-001 form factor doesn't really fit on a GBA, especially with "X/Y" buttons over trigger buttons on the back or something.

Maybe it's just me, but the GBA and GBA SP are pretty damn good as is.

Well THIS LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF RIP_OFF,
seriously, just buy a raspberry pi3(35$) with snes usb controller(10$-20$), or ps3(13$),
and you get SNES, NES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64, PSONE, AND MORE.
It might be a bit of a hassle, but you get so much more.

Hope the emulation quality doesn't suck like the Retro Bit Generations did, with the sideways arcade game whose layout you can't change, the missing audio channels in Bionic Commando, and let's not forget the inconsistent audio tempo in Super R Type lol.

I'll just stick with GB/GBC/GBA emulators and VC titles/injects on my 3DS thanks. If only we could get wifi multiplayer working with GBA titles though, that's really the one thing that GBA games on the 3DS are missing.

Meh this was invented ages ago. I have my DS Lite plus 2 flashcards (Ds-Gba), that way I can play all the way from GB to DS. Triggers are better placed in that one. A GBA design would have been a lot better.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Black ops was the lesser shitter line in cock a poopoo tbf just a way to let people know it hasn't died or going a different route I guess
