SP Concerns...
« on: March 14, 2003, 08:23:10 AM »
Are the buttons okay?  They look depressed and more difficult to press than the original GBA.

Is it too thin?  It looks uncomfortable to play because there isn't anything to really get a grip on.

Does the light wash out the image too much?  I slightly remember my GameGear from like, 10 years ago, and I don't remember the colors on it getting washed out.

I was having a little trouble adjusting to the D-pad on precision games like Kuru Kuru Kururin, but I think it's fine.

Not at all.

The light does wash out the image a little, but the improved visibility is more than worth it.  The Game Gear was an entirely different technology with a backlight.  The SP still uses the same reflective screen as the GBA. It just has a light inside  the system.
