Back-lit GBA rumour update: It’s looking good!
The world joins hands in the hope of a usable portable Nintendo console
Rumour has continued to gather pace that Nintendo is poised to release an updated version of the Game Boy Advance hardware that you can actually see! An all new back-lit version, known as the Game Boy Advance Plus, the machine is said to be in the late stages of development and will include a back-light and brightness controller.
It has been highlighted that Nintendo has already successfully implemented a back-lit portable gaming machine in the past, namely the Japan only Game Boy Light. The device was light (arf!) on battery power and delivered back-lit portable gaming admirably.
The recent global price cut also adds weight to the possibility of Nintendo releasing a new machine. Nudging the price-point down to £/$60 opens a new space in the market beneath the crucial £/$100 mark.
We are of the strongest belief that you should see the Game Boy Advance Plus in-store before Christmas 2002. As ever, we’ll keep you up to date with any news on this matter.
