You know what , i recently discovered that GBA>Vita !!!
Yes, it's been ages since I've seen anybody on the bus or train with an handheld console, really.
EVERYBODY plays with their phones now, sadly that's the truth. I use to see kids with GBAs, DSs or PSX in the past, but now all I see is this madness of people smudging their cell phone screen with fingerprints and twisting left and right......there is no religion anymore !
SO I was thinking of getting a Vita, but why would I carry something that big on the bus, and what kind of game would satisfy me in a short half an hour session ? I know I love Uncharted, but really , I need to sit home and give it at least a couple of hours of my attention to get any progress. But on the bus ?
Then I thought of taking my DSiXL with me, and I did for a short while, because there are sort of quick games meant for short playing bursts, but then , the size factor and the fragility of it ( I regard it as very precious as it it a Sudoku-hexed DSiXL ) somehow put me off.
At the end , I dusted off my old GBA SP2, with an M3 perfect mini SD in it, loaded it with the likes of Donkey kong Jungle climber, all the MArio advance games, Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, black thorn , Sega arcade classics and many, many more and I got the ultimate handheld system ( with real buttons ! ) light, comfortable, durable, good-looking , sturdy,
I feel like an alien with a relic from the past, but hey, I'm a GBA temper, and it'll be GBA for ever !
