Your story about your GBA console is similar to mine; years back when I first my personal GBA and bought surprisingly not that much games for this console I sold it in return for a 3DS. I was fooled, however. I thought you could insert GBA games into your 3DS and play them but turns out that's impossible, and unfortunately I haven't had the patience to buy another Gameboy Advance since. You've got to admit that the 3DS is better, but still, it would be nice to have a GBA.
Also, the reason I put the Gameboy, Super Nintendo, and the DS on my list is because I wanted to count ones not only I have in the present but I had in the past. I should of specified that in the original thread but I'm too lazy to do so right now.
I still technically have a Super Nintendo, but it's over at my grandfather's house. His grandsons like to play it and I don't want to be mean and just force it to my house, but when I visit him I usually play Super Mario World as it's nice to get a good feel of the old time controls.
My DS broke
the day I got it on Christmas. However, it didn't actually "break". It lasted up until approximately till February or March, but in the mean time what would occur is that occasionally it would shut down by itself. It really increased my fury, particularly when I was playing Mario Kart DS on it. It just shut down on the final race on 150cc Special Cup and I was winning. Eventually, it just shut down for good. Thankfully, DS games work on the 3DS. Still will never forget that moment of rage when I figured out the complicated way that GBA games don't work on the 3DS.
