Game Boy Advance SP Classic NES Limited Edition Review

Being a child of the mid to late 80s, a Nintendo was my life for much of my youth.Fond memories of Mario and Zelda and Tetris abound.As the Nintendo (what everyone calls an NES these days, but back then it was just a "Nintendo," then the SNES was the "Super Nintendo") was a beautiful piece of work, so is this GBA SP.
I had been putting off getting an SP.I'd bought a GBA when it came out, and by golly it was good enough for me until the DS.But a chance meeting with a preview article of the Classic Series melted any reservations I had about re-buying a Gameboy.
As I write this, the beautiful, sensual GBA is sitting on my desk.I will not lie about my fervent Nintendo fangirlism, so the rest of this review will probably sound kinda weird to any of you new-generation Sony worshippers.
The sleek lines of this handheld blow me away every time I look at it.Surely it is superior to every previous iteration of the SP.The slightly shiny silver outside - complete with a row of lines representing the top of the NES console.A classic red and black Nintendo oval logo complete the top half.The bottom as you may expect remains true to its roots as well.But the real prize is inside the flip-top screen.
Open up this GBA SP and prepare to remember why Nintendo is your god.The original Nintendo controller represented in new, squareish glory.The D-pad and buttons are a bit different, sure, but everything else makes me want to dig up my old controllers and stare at them, then switch to the SP, then switch again.It's really beautiful.
The SP, even with the new improved backlight, does kinda sit a bit uncomfortably in your hands compared with the first GBA.Plus the headphones thing (where you need a special adapter, etc).BUT!For anyone who has even ever ~looked at an NES, this GBA SP will make you want one.It has a tantalizing, hypnotic song that it will sing to you.
So, if you're debating whether or not you really need a GBA SP, the answer is now a resounding YES!
