Macho Nacho Productions | GameBoy Advance Shootout! Which is the Best? | Which GBA Should You Buy or Build? @MachoNachoProductions | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 10 hours ago
In today's episode of Retro Renew, I will attempt to rank the official and unofficial dedicated Game Boy Advance variants. All variants utilize official Nintendo hardware. I will compare the Original GBA, SP, micro, MACRO, and the Unhinged SP in 5 categories to see which is the best and which is the worst in 2021. This, of course, is by no means an end all be all ranking. I am hoping to open a constructive discussion to see what you all think and if you agree with my assessment and perhaps what you think the ranking should be. I really hope you enjoy this one! Cheers!
