And Xbox goes down for the count. 5 to 1, not bad for the PS2. At least Sony will still be in the running for something.

This week is a handheld battle. Vote now!

Nintendo's Gameboy Advance (GBA, 2001)


VS.

Nokia's N-Gage

You shouldn't really be comparing relativly unknown consoles with highly popular ones...

However, I'd have to go for the GBA, its superior in everyway.

The gba. It has a much better lineup of top quality games. Another plus side, its capabilities is similar to the snes, but slightly better. I vote for gba.

A relatively unknown console? This was the GBAs major compeditor. Can you think of anything else that came this close? Cause the Game.com sure didn't. Nor did the N-gage, the game gear (too early), the Lynx (too early), the nomad, the R-zone and countless others.

Granted this round is simply so the GBA can go on to fight the DS (the ds needs a handheld counterpart in the next round), but the NGP is a fabulous system. I suggest you look it up. There are a few good emulators out there. Consider the NGP to be the Dreamcast of the handheld consoles (it acctually had conectivity with the DC).

Unfortunatly, no Neogeo pockets exist in Spain...

I once played a sonic Neogeo game on an emulator, it seemed good, but a bit simple.

BAH! Ingrates.
I changed the poll and put a huge pic of the n-gage so people will notice it.
I've also given you the option of changing your vote.
But I STILL vote for GBA.

Still going with the GBA, even though the N-gage has got a couple of good games (Worms World party, Tomb Raider...) the GBA still beats it by far.

The only thing I liked about the N-Gage was the Mp3 player.
So stupid how you had to talk into the side of it.
Also it was good for looking at porn in school.

Gba was good for me since it had the next step in graphics. Most my life before that I've had the worst of graphics (on handhelds).
