Same as with the GB Micro I find it hard to mind the screen from scratches.
But it is a lovely thing.
Are there kits out there to do the conversion to an existing GBA?

Yep there's a couple of places selling kits, I got a guy I know in England to sort it, he sourced the GBA and installed the kit for me.

You can also buy replacement screen lenses, so not a disaster if it gets scratched.

You can buy you're own backlight kit aswell, over on GBA Temp theres a thread about it. Guy makes them by hand and I've seen nothing but praise for them

Absolutely gorgeous. I meant to buy one of them a while ago when I first saw the mod. What stopped me was trying to figure out which ones were real modded GBAs and which ones were Chinese clones. There seems to be a few clone versions floating around with a backlit screen, worth being wary of.

But yeah, it's how the GBA should have been from the beginning. Makes you wonder if they'd gone with that design, would the clamshell SP and future clamshell Nintendo designs have been developed?

Or would we be on the GBA 3D or something now?

When Nintendo discussed the development of 3d systems at the launch of the 3DS the Virtual Boy, naturally, was spoken of, as was the 3d variant of the Gamecube. But they also discussed the screen tech of the 3DS being used with the GBA but the results were "unsatisfactory", possibly due to the low resolution, I don't know.
I'm still waiting for a VC release of the Virtual Boy back catalogue on the 3DS, I would have thought it was a sure thing tbh, but then the penetration into the market psyche was so low, as a result of the devices unpopularity, it'll probably never happen

Finally got my Zelda 3DS XL this morning, majorly disappointed the game is only a download code though, i hate downloads, I feel robbed.

Nintendo like to pretend the Virtual Boy never happened.

That's my source alright

Think he gets his screens from an English site rather than Kitsch, might be the same supplier to both though

As if I wasn't going to buy it.

I still don't know how they got away with that on a Nintendo console :eek:

Make sure to wear a mac into the shop for added pervyness :pac:

I might crack and get it with Inazuma Eleven 3... then hope for a EU 3DS. I'll have to get it in Gamestop Sligo, they don't know me there...

I could give you a lend of mine for a bit when I'm over it and go onto another console for awhile

Sure I have the US version. I just want the box with the bewbs on it :P I'm sure there'll be other EU exclusives. I might just buy the games and then wait for a bigger price drop in a few years to get the console.

o1s1n

So which region so far is looking to have the best physical release exclusives as a matter of interest?

Retr0gamer

The US has the excellent Rune Factory 4 which was cancelled in Europe and the utterly superb Shin Megami Tensei IV which hasn't been mentioned for nearly a year in Europe. Europe though has more stranger games thanks to rising star.

Retr0gamer

Ah right. Sure you know me. I've not even started the first 2

It's a testament to your relationship and it's foundations when the pervy game you are thinking about when together for the weekend is on the 3ds.
Deary Deary me...

Swung by Teefury and saw this, instabuy, and I will suffer when yet another tee falls in the letterbox but had to have it dammit!

Haha, the girl in the cover art doesn't even have eyes!

I still would though......

I have to make a decision,
Do I get Senran or Dark Souls 2?
Ones a game that's hard the other is a game that gets you.... Erm.... Embarrassed...

Some recent get!'s. A few duds, as there always are in this hobby...sometimes you need to make the numbers up though.

Lads, maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. Since I got my new flat screen all my GameCube and ps2 games look absolutely HIDEOUS on the screen, colour is just way to bright no mater what way I change the settings on the tv. Is there any kind of connection I could get that would make the games look like they are being played on an old tv? Kinda dont have space for a fat television in my room.

What would you recommend I do?
