I finally shelled out the money, got the GBA, F-zero and Mario Advance (Castlevania was sold out). The system itself I must say I was surprised and its small size and relatively large screen. What I was REALLY amazed by is the size of the games!!!!! I'm afraid that if I take my eyes off them they'll disappear into nothingness. Too bad Nintnedo didn't include those awesome plastic cases that the old GB games came in. I could sure use them. Anway, the weight of the system is perfect and I haven't had a problem really with any sort of glare or (lack of) light. The colors are vibrant and the two games are extremely smooth. I recommend getting headphones simply because the sound is so much better and intense with them on. Lets see, I will agree with whoever said that the top left shoulder button is a bit awkward to hit though if you don't have small hands but I don't mind it too much because you learn to adapt and eventually forget the technicality. Umm aside from all that, the graphics greatly impress me and I look forward to buying more future games if I can ever get the hang of F-zero (and you thought the N64 version in master mode was hard????).
