| GBA Video turns your GBA or GBA SP into a portable video player. A GBA Video pak is a cartridge that holds full-color, full-motion video and plays on a Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP. GBA Video paks look just like GBA game cartridges. The first GBA Video paks will play up to 45 minutes of animated video that fills the GBA screen.
If I own a GBA or GBA SP, do I need any additional hardware to play a GBA Video pak?
No additional hardware is required. All you have to do is push that Video pak into your GBA and the show will be ready to play. If you want to watch your video without any outside noise getting in the way, we suggest using headphones to enhance your video-watching fun. Two headphones designed specifically for the GBA SP (no adapter required) are a great fit when you really want to crank the volume. Majesco offers a neckband-style set and Nintendo Power offers a pair that you can receive as a premium when you subscribe to the magazine. Visit www.nintendopower.com/subscribe for details.
What is the video quality like?
GBA Video titles offer the same level of high-quality video resolution and sound as GBA games. An added bonus: since the Video pak contains no moving parts, your video won't skip or stutter!
Will I use my GBA controls when I watch GBA Video?
You can sit back and relax and let the GBA do all the work. If you just can't resist pushing those buttons, you can use them to control what you're watching—fast forward, rewind, pause, chapter skip and to select an episode.
How much do I need to shell out for a GBA Video?
The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price, which is set by each manufacturer, is $19.99 per GBA Video pak.
Can I watch GBA Video using my Game Boy Player?
GBA Video paks are not compatible with Game Boy Player. GBA Video is all about enjoying your favorite video on the go!
What kind of videos are available for GBA Video?
The current line-up features your favorite animated TV shows like Pokémon, SpongeBob SquarePants, Yu-Gi-Oh! and The Fairly OddParents. Each GBA Video pak holds from two to four episodes of each show.
