Nintendo Black SP Console (GBA)

happy am i. just got mine from music magpie just under £30 inc p&p some wear an tear to it nothing big glad i looked on hear as was going to get mine from a shop for £40 on its own where as mine from music magpie came with a charger which is nice. got mine so i could play my old tetris game but putting it in the GBA SP did not work as is common with game boy games when they don't work most of the time just blowing on them is all thats needed as was what was needed in this case as well as some other games i had from my old GBA glad i got mine now. as now i can waste away lots of hours on it ;]

Was very very pleased with this. Arrived 2 days early.. For a very old and used Nintendo - it's in brilliant condition! Nothing wrong with it, quality bit of merchandise. What a buy :)Also recieved a free game! Which was perfect .... Rated!!!

First of all, you may be put off by the prospect of buying a used GBA Sp in 2015 - and with good reason. Handheld consoles such as this tend to be accidentally dropped or scratched or otherwise damaged, to the point that many GBA Sp's now look as though they have been fed to a dog. Thus, you probably wouldn't really want to touch one, let alone carry one around in your pocket (unless you're into that sort of thing).This is exactly what can be seen here on Amazon, with many units described or indeed pictured as being scratched. So if you plan on buying one (or two, or three... I'm not really bothered), I advise you to take the time to request pictures of the GBA from the seller - specifically the screen. If you request pictures of the screen and you receive back only an image of the case - as one seller did to me - it's quite likely they are hiding the screen from you deliberately. I managed to obtain a pretty much perfect unit, so of course there is no reason why you can't either.Secondly, the unit itself. It seem a little unfair to review the hardware in this day and age, especially after we have been exposed to things like the 3DS and smartphones. Things that are worth pointing out though are that it requires a special adapter in order to plug headphones in, and that many old units at have rechargeable batteries that are past their best, so you may need to shell out extra.Finally, some positive things to justify my 4 stars. It is extremely portable - you can walk around quite happily with it in your pocket without it feeling as though you are transporting a brick, and most of the games available for it are not only great fun, but also relatively cheap. Metroid Zero Mission, for example, is an absolutely brilliant action adventure game exclusive to this console.Overall, I'm very pleased that I bought a GBA Sp, and I will undoubtably be playing it for a long time, (well, at least until I feed it to my dog).

Absolutely perfect. Works well with all my old GBA games (which I've never been able to play backlit before) and the battery even lasts a really long time too. Delivered promptly and in very good condition.

Its okay its very scrached on The front it doent come with Anybthing else but gameboy. Not even charger. But its good gamng. I recomend pokemon ruby .Thanks...

Be careful when buying these, mine was admittedly only 10 quid, but it didn't work at all. The screen in particular was shot, i was expecting the basic system to work at least. I had a new battery and outer casing for it, because at ten quid i was expecting the body to be rough, but beware. I'd recommend spending at least 20 quid or more on one of these. Mine said acceptable condition, it certainly wasn't.

The reason behind this rating is that even though it plays the games perfectly fine there is on massive flaw to this product. We purchased this game boy to play a pokemon game on and just about once a week of around 10 to 20 hours of use it wipes the safe file. The games have been tested on another console and they have not showed any trouble. So even though the game boy plays the games fine it's always a gamble turning it off and i have therefore rated it two stars.

My DD1 is a retro fan and her collection includes a Smith Corona typewriter and a dial telephone. So it was not too great a surprise when the main thing she wanted for Christmas was a classic Nintendo console. DS - Not Played. Vita - Not Played. 3DS - Not Played.

シェルが正規品でないためか、十字ボタンの押し心地が悪いですが使用に問題はありません。

Produit en parfait état!Vitre immaculée, ni poussières sous la vitre, ni raillures, ni quoi que se soit. Vitre neuve à mon avis!L'état général est excellent, parfait même. Rien à dire. Aucunes raies nulle part, rétro-éclairage puissant, grande autonomie (voir très grande si on la compare aux consoles actuelles). Chargeur lui aussi apparemment neuf (ce n'est pas celui d'origine de la Game Boy Advance européenne). Petit plus agréable, il y a un rangement à cartouche livré dans la commande, pratique.

Cuando la compre, pensé que tendría algún arañazo o golpe por el uso , pero la verdad es que no, funciona perfectamente y el envío fue rápido ,para mí todo genial

Ok, so the gameboys were a bit before my time, and I grew up playing the wii and the ds, but I am greatly impressed with this product. I mainly got this to play the Mother/Earthbound series, since I don’t own a PC to play those games on. I bought from the seller called the Terry Bean Store, my item shipped in a day, and the overall product was in extremely good condition when I got it. I expected some minor scratches and stuff, as noted, but for only paying approximately $60 for this, it was in extremely good condition. It works well so far(model ags 001), and is a lot better than I expected considering the price. I know buying used handheld consoles like the gameboys can be hit or miss(depending on the seller), but this seller seems pretty legit. Also it came a week early!***also: mine came with a charger(also noted in description of product), and I don’t know if this is normal, but the charger had trouble staying in, but still worked efficiently.I will update this review when I have had this product a little longer.UPDATE: I have had this for a couple months now, and it is GREAT! I ended up replacing the shell and screen to make it brighter, but it would’ve been just fine the way it was. It still charges and does everything good. If you plan on replacing the screen to a brighter one please note that the battery life goes down a bit, but it’s not too bad. Still a really good product and holds up great.
