hey guys this is Austin and today me he was episode three of tech I like now of course if you guys are new to the show this is my weekly series where I go over all the different kinds of technology I like and today we're going to be talking about one of my personal favorites of all time which is the Gameboy Advance SP now I love Gameboy since I was about 5 or 6 years old and the Game Boy Advance SP is by far my favorite now to kind of give you guys a little history lesson here when the Gameboy Advance SP first came out it was one of the next-to-last Gameboy that Nintendo made so and of course does play Game Boy Advance games just like the standard Game Boy Advance but it came with a lot of major new features the first difference was design well the Game Boy advances in design somewhat similar to the PSP and the video today Nintendo took a very different approach with the ESPE so they gave it a folding clamshell design and in fact they still use that today in the DS as well as the 3ds the second major change was that the SP had a rechargeable battery now we take that for granted today it's actually something pretty nice to have on a Game Boy pretty much all the previous versions had double A's or of course the Gameboy pocket didn't use triple-a batteries but on the whole of it they absolutely just ate up packs and packs of batteries there's a great addition that they did have rechargeable in the SP the last major feature was a front lit display and well again this is something that most of us take for granted today however this was something that was really cool this is the first Gameboy with exception of the Gameboy light that actually had a display now what this means is you actually play it in the dark so of course before you had a Game Boy you had to be near a lamp or sunlight or something to be able to see the screen but with the Game Boy Advance SP turn the backlight and you were good to go beyond that it was all game boy bands Senate had backwards compatibility with the original Game Boy games as well as Game Boy Color and since it was a Game Boy Advance of course a quick blade Game Boy Advance games now as far as the graphics and gameplay went they were actually fairly similar to what you would find on the Super Nintendo so as far as like sprite based and pixel based and however you want to say it because old-school games this thing absolutely with awesome so there are a lot of really nice games such as pokemon ruby and sapphire golden sun f-zero and the list goes on and on and on the Game Boy Advance and my pain had probably one of the best game libraries of any console handheld or otherwise now I have to say personally the Gameboy Advance SP is by far my most play console of all time I absolutely loved that thing considering this 9 years old now it's actually held up fairly well if you take a look at mine I got lots of scratches I've dropped it more times I can count and I was in my pocket for a couple years every single day I went anywhere I kept in my pocket but hey man if things still works it still rains great in fact it's actually on the original battery after not even exaggerating probably thousands of hours of gameplay nine years old yet the battery still holds a 45 minute to an hour charge pretty awesome anyway guys it's going to be about it for this week's episode of tech I like you guys enjoy these videos always leave them a thumbs up really appreciate that it helps me out and of course if you're interested in more episodes be sure to subscribe to the channel I do them every Saturday afternoon alright guys catch you next time
