Portable Gaming USBs

The Game Boy Advance USB Takes Gamers Back to a Simpler Time

The Nintendo DS may be newer and sleeker, but it still can't compete with the Game Boy Advance USB. Sometimes older is better.

The Game Boy Advance is no longer with us gamers, but its memory lives on in the form of the Game Boy Advance USB. This USB is made from the game Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and can hold from 4 to 16GB of memory. It's nice to see that some life can still be squeezed out of this archaic hand-held console.
