Ok…  
I’m going to travel by plane 24 hours non-stop, well with transit and everything let’s say 32 hours

so I’m thinking probably if I buy Gameboy SP, it will entertain me for a while.  
I curently have Gameboy Advanced, but I heard SP is so much better in terms of the graphic etc.

the questions:

1. Do you think I should buy SP or stick with my old GBA?
2. What game that will last at least 20 hours… give me some recomendations 🙂 note: I don’t like Zelda kinda thing ( I already have Advanced war and Golden Sun \<-- I don’t like it)
3. Well I’m thinking to buy Castlevania, there are 2 versions of them, which one do you think is better?

Thanks guys 🙂

ps: oh, if theres a somekinda battery(power) that will last for a day for PS2… I would love it 🙂

350 - the gameboy advance sp is exactly the same as the original advance i terms of graphics, but it has a rechargeble battery and a backlight. if you intend to use it for 20 hours, you will be out of luck because the battery will run out (18 hours without backlight, 10 with it)

games wise - i dont think you could play a single game constant for twenty hours without a break (unless you actually liked zelda…) i would suggest mario world (mario advance 2) yoshis island (mario advance 3) tony hawks (any), f zero and mario kart…

to add on to mario’s, you ARE out of luck unless your plane has available AC slots for you, because you cannot just buy another battery and switch them. You \<i\>have\</i\> to recharge it. It does not come off.

A rip-off, IMO. If your battery breaks, you have to send it to nintendo. Probably costs you a bit, too. Heck, you’ll probably get a refurbished unit with the same color.

Tip to anyone who sends anything to the manufacturer:  
WRITE DOWN YOUR SERIAL NUMBER AND B\*TCH LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW IF YOU DON’T GET THE EXACT SAME ONE BACK

Only game I’ve seen on an SP was mario kart. I didn’t like it since the screen is so small, you can’t see very far ahead, and you have to have lightning reflexes. I’d go with castlevania, some kinda mario, or zelda (I couldn’t help it, its just the best nintendo game ever).
