Gameboy Advance SP 2GB Mini Review

***wraggster*** · November 15th, 2009, 22:09

The second of my reviews is regarding the Gameboy Advance SP 2GB i brought a few weeks ago.

This was a console i spotted on IShopVideoGame and was eager to try it.

The GBA SP is fitted with a 2GB Flash Drive which you cant see unless you open the console.

Upon booting the console i was a tad astonished to find a mass of games already loaded onto the console, infact a total of 118 games, of which all played and saved perfectly.

The Console has a USB Lead with it and when connecting to a PC/laptop it shows up as a removeable drive and its not hard to work out how to add additional games to the console, so adding homebrew and emulators for the GBA is really easy.

Now the price is a rather decent $54.95 and like my other review shipping from ishopvideogame was very resonable.

I must point out that the GBASP plays games like any normal GBA but obviously the benefit of a 2gb hard drive makes the console a great selling point, you could stick hundreds of GBA Homebrew and Emulators for GBA on the hard drive too.

all in all a great buy and i highly recommend this to any GBA fans.

Thanks again to IShopVideoGame for a great console and quick shipping.

Interesting, I'd love to see a GBA Micro fitted with a Flash drive though since I've always wanted to try one of those.

Great review but unless you have one or know another place to get them you are out of luck. They have been out of stock for quite a while. I contacted them and they don't know if they can even get any more in.

If it doesn't normally, you can always use Goomba to play GB/GBC games on it.

oh nice, i want one

i might just get the ez flash 3 in 1 for my ds or play emulated games on my psp :P but i'd still rather have this, they don't have it anywhere near where i live

Hmm, interesting. If it was in stock right now and I had spare money to go, I'd so get one. £33 certainly isn't a bad price and it'll be a great replacement for my old GBA SP which might be on its way out sometime (though not too soon).

Yea I wish it was in stock as well. Both my boys have NDS's but they had GBA SP's before that. My older boys GBA broke and we misplaced the other one, so I would love one of these. Seems it only plays GBA games on the 2gig unless you get a GBA flash card, but still a great system.
