Editorial Reviews :
This is a special limited-edition, platinum-colored Game Boy Advance console.
When you first pick up the Game Boy Advance system, you'll be amazed at how little it weighs. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA's wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout is comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.
Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA's larger screen somewhat darker than they're used to, but that's because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won't be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.
But you'll also notice the graphics. Sporting what's basically a redesigned SNES technology, you'll see things on the GBA that you see on big consoles, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects--technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.
Buyer Reviews :
GBA platinum is just like the other GBA's, only cooler cuz its in platinum. its backward-compatible with all Game Boy games (GB, GBC, GBA) and that's probably the best feature, cuz you don't have to buy all the GB systems to play the games you want to play. the new innovational shape is great so you don't get so many pains in your fingers from playing too much. the GBA doesn't take up very many batteries, only 2 AA's are required for it to run. the one downside is that the screen is kinda dark, so you have to either play it in broad daylight, or get one of those 'alien' game lights and hook it up to your GBA. i think it's a great system and will be a milestone in Nintendo's history.
