Game Boy Advance System
Note: Original publication date is missing
The GB Advance now has a 32-bit CPU (roughly the same as a NES), which will enhance game playing capabilities, as well as data processing features. Expect a whole new gaming experience when dealing with software, as GB Advance now comes with a reflective TFT color LCD panel screen display. The viewing area has increased to 2.9 inches, and the graphics are shaper and brighter.
Nintendo has also included an L and R button, for a wider range of moves. For sound, a PCM Stereo sound generator is being used. On a multiplayer note, thanks to a special communication cable for connection, up to four players can compete against each other simultaneously using one copy of a game! Also, all of the functionality has been upgraded and it has compatibility to handle the wide selection of Game Boy software already on the market.
Thanks to a new system configuration, as well as few limitations, game programmers should have ease creating great software, as well as a new gaming depth in portable consoles that has rarely (if ever) been experienced by video gamers of all ages. GB Advance has the technology for GB Advance Internet Connectivity via a modem. You will be able to transfer media, and play fellow Game Boys from around the world.
Coming out in Japan next summer, and no doubt going to wash up on shores in North America, is a certain cable that will enable you to communicate with your cell phone. This enables you to download GB media from the internet, and trade saved files via your cell phone, a certainly innovative feature.
