Well, as a lot of you know, I plan to get a 3DS XL later this year which will allow me to play both GBA and DS games. What you guys don't know is that yesterday, I decided to buy a Gameboy Advance SP. Why? Well, it turns out a model of the system released in 2005 with a far better lighting system. Unfortunately, a lot of these in good condition can get pretty pricey and all of the colors for the brighter models are meh. Then I came across this Amazon page. This guy sells customized GBA's where he takes the skins from older models and puts it on more updated hardware. I communicated with the guy quite a bit in the last two days and his customer service is fantastic. For an extra ten dollars, I was able to get him to include a headphones adapter with my GBA SP that he's going to send today. :D Since I'm going to own both a Gameboy Advance SP and a 3DS XL later this year, I thought I'd ask you guys for game suggestions. I've compiled a list of games that interest me (as well as some of the games I already own).

It's worth mentioning that I originally got my first GBA back in 2001 but I stopped playing it in 2004 due to the lack of backlighting or any type of lighting what's so ever. As for why I own two DS games, a friend of mine was kind enough to send them to me cause she hated the games. >_>
