Nintendo is launching the Game Boy Advance SP "Classic NES Edition", along with eight original NES Classics for the Game Boy Advance on 9th July 2004 in Europe.

This unique console and range of incredibly popular games pays homage to the birth of the NES. The NES console brought arcade quality games to homes all over the world and is considered to be one of the most influential video gaming products ever made.

The console looks gorgeous, and is just a little bit on the 'cute' side of things. With all the buttons and markings of yesteryear all crammed into the GBA: SP shape...we love it!

Nintendo also plan to release a number of NES Classic titles alongside this new special edition GBA: SP system, they are:

1. Super Mario Bros. - Publisher: Nintendo
2. Donkey Kong - Publisher: Nintendo
3. Ice Climber - Publisher: Nintendo
4. Excitebike - Publisher: Nintendo
5. The Legend of Zelda - Publisher: Nintendo
6. Pac-Man - Publisher: Namco
