Couldn't be any better! (2009-05-10)
I have used this Gameshark at least 20 times since I bought it. Each time I played for at least 20-30 minutes. No freezes, no hangs, nothing but pure fun and it exceeded my expectations.

I hate to offend some of the review posters but it looks to me like some of these are under 16 years of age, who perhaps need a bit more experience and patience. When you buy an item like this that modifies coding in a game you have to be extremely careful what you type in.

First thing I did was go to the official Gameshark website. It says "if the gameshark gives you a warning that you have too many codes it will freeze, DO NOT PRESS START (as the Gameshark itself recommends) but turn off the game instead"

I know it is tough to deal with mislead instructions. BUT you can't go wrong when you turn the console off. If something doesn't work, or the game looks funny, DO NOT SAVE, do not turn the Gameshark off, turn the whole system off. Note that I emphasize in DO NOT TURN THE GAMESHARK OFF, I mean it, you should have no reason to turn the Gameshark off, instead turn the GBA off. This is my third Gameshark, I owned the Monster Brain and the Game Xploder. I never ruined any of my games.

After 3 years using the Gameshark 3.0 with my Pokemon Crystal game, my son and friends (about 12 years old) somehow managed to crash the game. Needless to say the Poke Crystal was fried.

Bottom line, if you don't know what you're doing, consult someone who knows how to work it. Or perhaps and adult can help you work it properly. Dealing with coding is serious business, and these games are nothing short of a micro computer. You need to do the right things otherwise they will crash.

If you are in doubt, just don't get it then, or work with a spare game.


gameshark helped my game (2009-04-09)
i think the gameshark is cool because i can use all the cheats on my games and i can enter new games in the shark and put other codes in it. i use it alot. i have SP and DS systems and games.


Gameboy Advance SP GameShark (2009-02-17)
The product worked great. This is an older device for use in Gameboy advance. Most kids today use the DS, but my kids also like to play with the Advance. This was hard to find anywhere else but I'm glad Amazon still carries it.

Worked with all my kid's games without any problems. My kids also were able to look up custom codes from the internet and prgram them into this device which was also a very nice feature.


Misleading customer image? (2009-01-29)
The customer image is misleading and therefore the person I allowed to order this did not get what they expected. However the item actually shown by seller is what I am rating.

The instrustion manual clearly states that using too many codes will have adverse effects. There is also a certain way to remove games from this to keep the item from getting scratched and unable to be read by the GBA. When used correctly this is a great item and deserves great reviews.


Do NOT buy this - It breaks after 1 use!!! (2009-01-09)
For some reason, this product will break after 1 use in a game boy advance. I bought this item, played it 1 time, and then it broken after rebooting. What it is is that Nintendo made different chips that after there chips enter the slot, they will break.

If you put it into your GBA after 1 Use, you will be prompted with a White Screen of Death. You will not be able to fix this.

DO NOT BUY!!!!

Pokemon Fire Red (2009-03-20)
I love pokemon. Great game. Alot of fun and very addicting. I just wish they would make a game like this for the bigger systems. One that you can actually go and catch pokemon like on the TV show. Until they get smart enough to do that, I will continue to have fun with what they have out.


Pokemon Fires up the awesome game engines! (2009-03-01)
Ok, now you have finally got a game that is actually a remake of the old games which i fell in love with. This is a remake of red, now with wireless action, better graphics, seven islands, and new pokemon! Mewtwo still lives, and now you can tradw with ruby and sapphire. plus, like in ruby and sapphire you had latias and latios, in this game you have the three cool kids from the johto region. That means youve got one of three, depending on your starter, raikou, suicune, and entei.
Your rival is the champion. you must beat him to win. and then explore the seven islands, though you get three of the islands beforehand. And the johto pokemon are still around, like tyranitar. And the safari zone is cooler. The unknown have appeared, and there is also battle hill. This tower is a place where you battle to the top, and the faster your there the better.
THis game is a perfect remake of pokemon red version, and im sure that youll love it! The only con is probably that you must have sixty pokemon in the pokedex to get the national pokedex. I hope that you love this game, and the people who wrote negative reviews could probably read this. This game is awesome. I hope you end up saying, "ba dap ba ba ba im lovin it!"


Good game for Pokemon fans (2009-02-25)
My granddaughters have enjoyed playing this game. There are many different areas of play and lots of different adventures to pursue.


Timeless game (2009-02-23)
I absolutely love this game series. I was very happy to find it in perfect condition being sold for a reasonable price by an awesome seller. Great plot, great game, great fun.


Awesome! (2009-02-21)
Awesome game. If you have Red Version, this is like an updated one with MUCH better graphics and gameplay. A lot is added here.


But, one question: What's up with $61.49 for a new game?

Product Description
Super Mario Advance brings back the fun of Super Mario Bros. in the new game!
Amazon.com Review
The world's favorite plumber makes his first appearance (along with playable characters Luigi, Peach, and Toad) on the Game Boy Advance, and, for the most part, Mario's arrival is welcome indeed.

Super Mario Advance is primarily a slightly tweaked port of Super Mario Bros. 2, the (still) very popular side scroller from the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). So expect plenty of running, jumping, and hurling of items at many a foe.

The game's graphics and sound have been a given a nice overhaul from the original game, and are clear and bright enough to please old-school and new fans alike. While Nintendo did a good job shrinking the visuals down to handheld size, the tiny GBA screen can get very busy at times, making accidental death due to sometimes less-than-precise controls frustratingly frequent--at least in the beginning. Most gamers should overcome such mishaps with a little patience.

Also included is the still fun, if forgettable, original Mario Bros. game from many eons ago. Up to four players can engage in a coin-collecting battle mode or the classic mode. Super Mario Advance isn't the game to show off the power of the GBA, but it is a long, fun title that will satisfy today's gamers with a taste from the best of Mario's past. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

  • One of the best NES games is faithfully ported
  • Upgraded sound and graphics
  • Gameplay is easy to get into
Cons:
  • Somewhat loose controls
  • Neither fresh nor original for those who've played the NES version

Amazon.com Product Description
In Mario's debut on the Game Boy Advance platform, the swashbuckling plumber goes back to what he knows best: side-scrolling adventure. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad wander this richly colored fantasyland to fight new and original enemies by collecting items to throw at them (alas, the famous jump attack isn't enough to dissuade these foes). Players are allowed to choose which character they'll play as--you can even switch between levels--and each in the cast has different strengths. For example, Luigi can jump higher than his brother, Mario, but the plumber is faster. Super Mario Advance also has a multiplayer game where up to four Game Boy Advance units can be linked together via the separately sold communication cable, allowing you to wage friendly battles for collectible coins using Koopa shells.

Very Fun (2009-04-04)
My 4 year old daughter even loves this game and has a great time playing it.


Super Mario Advance (2008-08-29)
Pretty good game, not as good as some of the Mario games. Nice game for kids between 4 and 7. I enjoyed this game 15 years ago and had to buy it for my Nintendo DS.


excellant (2008-08-28)
My nine year old son used his money to purchase this game and had loads of fun.


Too Much From Origonal?? (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars) (2008-01-05)
Now I myself personally love me some Super Mario. If you checked my reviews, you'll see that I've given Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 & Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance all high ratings. When I purchased those two games, I've noticed that Nintendo made some changes with those games since the last time I've owned them on Super Nintendo. So here I am with Super Mario Advance, which is Super Mario 2 on Game Boy Advance, and I have to say that I've not impressed at all with this one. I understand that video games "evolve" over time and creaters try to make them better, but there is a difference between making the game better than the origonal, and making it complicated than the origonal. Nintendo did the latter with this game.

Changes for the good are nice for me. On this one you can pick you character each time you die (actually you could do that since the Super Mario All-Stars game, and I didn't know you couldn't do that on the origonal NES game until I was playing my cousin's Wii a few days ago). Also it tells you each characters power under them on the select screen. Another helpful change is when you collect the star which makes you become invincible for a few seconds. Back then when you collect a certain amount of cherries, a star would just randomly float from the bottom of the screen. On here you'll hear some kind of tone which warns you the star is comming.

Not so good changes are very visible. First of all, what got me was during the beginning of the game, there is a long drop before you reach the bottom and start. They changed that too, which sucks. Also on the origonal game you started off big (the status you are when you have at least two hearts on the left side of the screen). Here you're small (with one heart on the left side), which really isn't a problem because you can find hearts anywhere to make you grow. Back then if you kill enough enemies, a heart will float from the ground and you gain more life. Here, hearts are inside the plants you pick up from the ground and sitting idle in high places on levels. And what really ticks me off is the red shell that you can pick up from the ground. Back then you threw the red shell at an enemie and it would have hit the wall and dissapeared. Here if you throw a shell, it will bounce off the wall and keep going, and if it hits you, you loose a heart or die (come on now!). And whats the deal with those huge Shy Guys and Turnip Plants? And like every Mario game, the characters speak (Peach doesn't know when to shut up). Hell even Birdo speaks (that purple dinosaur that shoot out eggs), and half the time I don't even knows what she is saying.

There you have it with Super Mario 2 on Game Boy Advance. What I believed happened was that Nintendo received feedback since 1993 when this game was reissued on SNES on how difficult the game was and tried their best to make it easier and more fun for new and younger Nintendo gamers, because I played the origonal on the Wii and it was the exact version on the NES and it was way harder. Older guys like me will definately find this game flawed if you've had it in different formats. Nintendo has made some great reissues with great modifications, but they shot a brick with this one big time. Peace.

P.S.- The Arcade game appears on all Super Mario Advance games.


For nostalgia's sake alone (2007-12-08)
Mario's first appearance on the GBA came with the first Super Mario Advance game, which is an updated port of Super Mario Bros. 2 for the original Nintendo console. For those that don't know, Super Mario Bros. 2 was a departure from the classic, standard setting original game, as Mario now pulled radishes out of the ground to hurl at enemies among other changes (the reason behind these is because the original Super Mario Bros. 2 was deemed too difficult when originally developed, so another in-development game got a Mario facelift and was released as Super Mario 2 here in the states, while the other Mario sequel would see somewhat of a release as Super Mario All-Stars on the Lost Levels segment), but despite it all, the game still offered some solid platforming action and fun. Choosing to play as Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Peach; you hurl radishes and other items at enemies, look for secrets, and more besides. The game is pretty simple to get into, and the graphics and sound have been updated for the GBA, but there are some flaws. The controls aren't as tight as we've seen on Mario games before and after this, and there are moments where the game really doesn't feel like a Mario game (and it's really not, for reasons mentioned above), but despite it's flaws, the first Super Mario Advance is a fun diversion, even though it is the weakest of the four Super Mario Advance games that came out for the GBA over it's lifespan. All in all, if you're still looking to get some quality, triple-A titles for your GBA before it completely bites the dust, here's one to pick up if you haven't already.

Product Description
Pokemon Sapphire takes you into an immersive and more exciting new adventure as you travel and train to become a Pokemon master! You'll have to become a hero by helping Team Magma stop Team Aqua from flooding the world for control of the water Pokemon! Special features like connectivity with future GameCube games Link cable support for up to 4 players Supports e-Reader Only for Game Boy Advance
Amazon.com
Pokémon Sapphire's updated graphics with weather effects, amazing sound, more than 200 Pokémon with over 100 new species--as well as its faithful adherence to the existing series of Pokémon games--makes for a welcome evolution in the series.

First, the game has a lot in common with Pokémon games Silver, Gold, and Crystal. For example, players can choose to be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal clock sets events at certain times, and the game's handy-dandy Pokédex helps players keep track of the many stats. You're main goal is still to beat all the Gym Trainers and become the Pokémon Master. If you've played the old games, you will be right at home. But not all is the same.

The most obvious change is in the battles themselves. Now that two Pokémon can fight on your side at the same time, you can tag-team them against an enemy by taking advantage of the strengths of your Pokémons while covering their weaknesses. For example, you can now have a water Pokémon watch your fire Pokémon's back. You can also attack more than one Pokémon at a time.

A whole new element to the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them to a Berry Blender and make a PokéBlock, which is a little super-charged candy that raises your Pokémon's "Condition" attributes. You can then groom your Pokémon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like "Best of Show," which will unlock additional contests. There's even strategy in how to best use your berries: pick too many and the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, and a tree will grow. You can also build a Secret Base in special areas of the game, which you can decorate just like you can your room.

And let us not forget that Pokémon Sapphire has a kickin' multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pokémon, and link up to four players for incredible battles. The only downside is that you can't link up with the old Game Boy Color games. --Bryan Karsh

Pros:

  • You can control two Pokémon in battle
  • Much needed graphic and sound facelift
  • Nice multiplayer feature (requires link cable and extra game cartridge)
Cons:
  • Can't trade Pokémon with Game Boy Color

Pokemon Sapphire (2009-04-30)
My nine year old had pretty much completed Pokemon Pearl on his Nintendo DS (with the help of cheats) and wanted more. He tried a friend's Pokemon Platinum and found it was too similar. We bought the old Pokemon Sapphire for Game Boy Advance which is completly compatable with the DS. He really likes it even though the graphics are not quite as advanced. He would definately recommend it for someone like him who needs more Pokemon. (Ugh!)


Pokemon Sapphire (2009-03-20)
I love pokemon. Great game. Alot of fun and very addicting. I just wish they would make a game like this for the bigger systems. One that you can actually go and catch pokemon like on the TV show. Until they get smart enough to do that, I will continue to have fun with what they have out.


Sapphires really are something beautiful arent they? (2009-02-25)
Hello, im twelve years old. Pokemon sapphire was my first game by pokemon, so im here to help you out since my only knoweledge of the game was that i got by looking over my best friends shouldurs. Yet, i became really good at the game. The game starts where your moving too a new town, and you have to go help a proffessor in danger by using one of his three pokemon. There is Treeco, a grass pokemon, who is for expierinced players, torchic, a fire pokemon, for fiery hearted battlers, and mudkip, for begginers. After the battle, proffesor birch realizes that the pokemon likes you and sends you off on a journey to find alot of pokemon.
The plot unfolds itself as you go from town to town. You must beat other pokemon trainers to get expeirnce and your pokemon will evolve. After a while you meet team aqua, the bad guys of this story. They want to flood the world and have more water pokemon. Then theres team magma, good guys who want to help you out. After you have seven gym badges, the heart of the story arrives when you face off with team aquas leader Archie, and follow an enraged kyogre to the heart of a cave called Orgin cave, in soottopolis city. Then you face off with Kyogre, the legendary pokemon on the front of the box, and you must either catch it or defeat it. Soon you will become pokemon leauge champion.
Quests which appear after you are champion include more legendary pokemon, multiplayer fun, and becoming the champion of the battle tower, a new place to battle at. Some other feautures are: the choice of two bikes and a cycling road competition, secret bases in the right areas which you can totaly decorate with furniture, and wireless communication. Hope you like it!


Got Bored (2009-02-23)
I have played Pokemon Red, Yellow, and Gold (along with all of the side-game like Stadium, Dash, etc). Compared to R, Y, and G, this one (though graphically advanced) falls short for me. The added graphics are great and the colors are vibrant, so are the side-quests, but eventually it all comes down to a Pokemon game is a Pokemon game is a Pokemon formatted game. Unfortunately, this time, there are so many things to do that pokemon suddenly "biting" you in the grass or water is a quick annoyance. Unfortunately again, it becomes a choice between training your pokemon and doing the quests you're so eager to do. Maybe I'm just impatient? There are a lot of new things to do, like Pokemon contests (you may have seen these on D&P in season 11), and Poke blocks. The Poke block mini game is quite fun, but repetitive after a time. You start to get annoyed that the old man playing with you keeps missing so much even though you're perfect and therefore makes the quality of your blocks sub-par. You also never really know where to go in the game. I spent who knows how long wandering around before I happened to chance upon that I had to go back to Lavaridge to complete a quest before I could continue. Mind, I was halfway across the "world" from Lavaridge at that point, having just naturally defeated the gym leader that the game had led me to. That's just one of the places I got stuck in. I got stuck about 8 times a day (playing about 6 hours a day on and off), not exaggerating. The game gives you no hints in this regard. I played up until Shoal cave (after Mossdeep city) and put the game down. I may pick it up later, but right now, I've had enough. I wouldn't suggest this for someone playing Pokemon for the first time. This is more for someone who wants to play Pokemon because they like the genre and want to play another Pokemon game after having several under their belt. Some people say that this is their favorite Pokemon game of all, so everyone's experience is different. Don't let my review keep you from playing this game. You may find you like it and go, "hey...that reviewer is an idiot XD"


has a glitch in it (2009-02-22)
Something seems to be wrong with the game. I bought it for my nephew and he says he cannot save any games he is in the process of. Other than that it works fine
