Where are the L and R buttons? I just honestly don't see them.

They are "above" the A and B button. GBA has no X/Y buttons.

Would be nice to know, if Link Cable is supported?

Too busy sending DMCAs to 3DS homebrew apps that use their logo.

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 just saw that even the 2.1.4 version of freeshop still has the old logo (plus a little message to nintendo).

guess those are running out?

Imagine playing Metroid Fusion on this.. using misiles while jumping.... holding 3 buttons with 1 finger lol..

Oh god xD. This certainly does not sound good.

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.

 

[raulpica]

High resolution = potentially pretty bad.

I'll hold out until the first reviews come out. I'm a fan of pixel perfect screens.

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.

 

[grossaffe]

so it's a GBA that looks like a DMG? And for that, we have the pleasure of paying $80? Pass.

 

[the_randomizer]

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.

 

[Arecaidian Fox]

Seriously, the L and R buttons are like this scene here, but not funny. At all.

 

[duffmmann]

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.

 

[Ericthegreat]

Lol @ chain of memory's on this.

l and r are in the wrong place, making almost any gba game that uses l and r a chore to play

 

[Reploid]

HD screen for gameboy. cool.

 

[Necron]

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.
