Nintendo owns every one in the handheld dept. I love mine I just wish I had waited for the Back lit version slated for release early 03.

Erm...that seems fun.

Hardly involves the plugging of the GBA into the GC much though. Meh, it's alright for some, I just port my laptop through my Big TV anyway, so I can play all PC and emulated games...very cool. 8)

Plus my DC emulators... God I love the setup in my room....

I don't think I'll ever bother plugging my GBA into my GC...

Btw, by DC emulators, I meant retro emulators (Genesis and the like) ON my Dreamcast...

Very true, just none of the competition can compete...(looks around). Wait? What competition?

I suppose the Neo Geo Pocket Colour, I love that thing, if only there were more games on it, I love the mini analogue stick.

I used to have one of the Sega handheld systems. If you triple the volume of the GBA, that's about the size of it. Great color, I loved that thing. Lasted me for a beautiful 6 years, then it burnt out.

RIP lil' fella

I assume you're talking about the GameGear? Being pretty much the only Sega handheld (save VMU). That thing was way ahead of its time...

...although not in power conservation. Esp, with the backlit screen. 6 AAs and it still only lasted about 2 hours!!!

Battery drain, yeeeesh, that was a killer. I usually played with the car adapter or AC adapter plugged in. But for long car rides it was really great.

And yeah, waaaayyy ahead of it's time. I loved it.

Believe it or not about 10 years ago there was a system that competed with the GBA. It was made by the creaters of the Turbo Graffix system. The problem was that none could afford it. So ofcourse the whole idea just died.
