A lot of people, including me for a long time, also forgot the sheer amount of shovelware on the GBA. Nothing comes close that I can think of except for maybe the Wii.

Not true or I would have added it to the OP, Japan got a Game Boy with a backlit screen.

GBA really was one of the very best game systems made overall

The NES & SNES games that got ported over adapted nicely for handheld play (except the Classic NES Series which were just roms on a cart) and they were kind of like a best-of collection. Also, Mega Man Battle Network was a great series as long as you pretend like 4 never happened.

also the Game Boy Micro is really fun to hold and try to use, but damn man is that screen tiny. It gave me a headache trying to play RPGs on it

It's also fairly sought-after and valuable now

The SP with the backlight is god-tier but man last I checked those were pricey. I really wanted to get one of these bad bois:

but they weren't around for long and shot up in value afterwards :(

This is a con right?

The first one on the system (FE7?) was an incredible game.

Anyways, Phantasy Star collection, Breath of Fire I and II, and FF I-VI were also great ports for the system.

I have a NES style one, it's very nice. Heads up though, it's got the old-style floodlit display instead of the newer backlit one, so if you're handy, you might wanna order a replacement display and swap it out.

The GBA is a legit top 5 console for me, maybe even top 3.

Not this garbage one -

1YxdmQm

This style -

I3SBExh

Portable, back light, easy to pack around and had some of the best games ever ported to it, along with it's fantastic library of GBA games.
