Anybody here still (proudly) playing their GBA??
 

I am, I just wondered who else is.

How long do you think it will stay around until it eventually becomes outdated??

I've been using it a little bit for FF6 and TMNT, just because it's so much more portable than the DS and the Screen is slightly larger. Unfortunately, it's one of the original SPs, so the screen isn't very bright. It's kind of a depressing transition, even considering my DS is also an original one.

I prefer playing my GBA games on my GBA SP, not the DS. Now, if you're talking about the original GBA, I am 100% retired from playing on it, although I still proudly own mine. I still also proudly own the original grey brick Game Boy and my Game Boy Color.

Well, I use my Game Boy Micro for all sorts of things. I was trying to beat DK: King of Swing on it a few weeks ago. I also used to play Puzzle League on my backlit SP, but I retired that cartridge when Planet Puzzle League came out on DS.

I mostly use my Game Boy Micro as a slick looking mp3 player. I welded this little keychain loop through the strap hole on the top right corner, and then ran a string through it. Now I can wear it, and it looks pretty tight.

I have a GBA micro. Sadly I don't have a DS yet. I really want one though. But when I do get one I'll probably be giving the micro to my friend who really wants one of those.

The GBA already IS outdated. It lives on through the bottom slot of the DS though.

I hate playing GBA games on the DS. It's so annoying using the B and A buttons on it. It just feels so unnatural having to put my finger in that position. It only works decent for RPG games since a is usually confirm and b is usually cancel. Though am I the only one who sees a rather large problem with not only this but how NES games are emulated on Wii? In almost every platformer game on SNES and DS use the Y button as sort of the action button (used for running, firing stuff, etc) and the B button for jumping. Yet for some reason they choose to simply match letters. Would it honestly kill them to have an option for you to customize which buttons do which? Personally, I'd like for Y and X to be B and B and A to be A. I think that would work a lot better for all games. Even if people didn't like it that way they could just allow you to customize. Why can't they simply do that. So yeah, my GBA SP will never be obsolete because I never use my DS to play GBA games for that reason.

I still have 2 GBAs (a black one with the new backlit screen and an NES-style one), although I don't use them very often since most of the handheld games I've been playing lately have been DS games.

I recently picked up my original GBA again to play Castlevania (which I stopped playing in 2001 because I was stuck at a boss..I soon beat the boss very easily in 2007. now I'm at 93% complete); But this is the only Gameboy I have..just got rid of my original GB..useless. No DS either...
