Right after my 5 month wait for an Afterburner GBA was over.. At least Street Fighter will be better now 🙂

Thats the most fantastic news I've ever heard... I really hope this turns out to be true!

that sounds kinda cool. I could forsee problems with a flip screen though, it would be kinda fragile and awkward wouldnt it? Oh well, sounds cool. Especially assuming its still backward compatible. Emulation will be sweet as well.

I have a gameboy advance already, and I don't plan on purchasing another. Besides, I doubt that most of what is said in that article has any truth to it. A backlight, possible, but a faster processor, more ram, a cell phone type battery, and four face buttons, no. The GBA is still too new to warrent making a sequel consol to it.

And why would nintendo make a new one when the current one is making big bucks??

If there's a new version coming it probably only is one with a backlight or brighter screen.

Whilst I don't really care for additional CPU power or more ram. The backlight and cell phone battery sound just too cool to be true.

My GBA would get a lot more play if I wasn't always concerned about having to buy more batteries or having the correct light.

Nintendo... if you're listening.... make it right!

I have only replaced the batteries 2x's since I got my GBA 4 months ago. 😀

GBA is realy good on batterys. I've only gone through about 6-8 sense I got it at the begining of this year. Oh, and just as a side note: Duricel Ultras last a LOT longer in it then any other battery I tried (regular duricels and energizer)

I've been getting through quite a few batteries, my solution was to get a small recharger (about the size of one of those bricky Megadrive plugs) that holds 4 batteries. Cost about £15.. When my GBA batteries run out , I stick in the other two and charge up the drained ones. It's a pretty cheap way of doing it if you're on your GBA a lot, and the batteries last about 10 hours even with the Afterburner installed..

I got some rechargable batteries... but my GBA doesn't like them at all, just crashes 🙁

They work great with my Lynx, Game Gear and Virtual Boy though 😉
