Game Girl Giga

The Game Girl Giga is a bigger version of the Game Girl Unadvance as well as the first revision of the system.

Why It Succeded

Similar to why the Iiw Mega was necessary, the GameGirl Giga was released nearly two years before the Nintendon’t TS, which is forwards compatible with the GGU (Though that feature was put back in the Nintendon’t TSi.). It was also released only 3 months after the TS heavy.

It was priced lower than the GGU PS despite the upgrades the Giga had from the PS.

Forwards compatibility with the original Game Girl and Game Girl Black & White was put back due to design changes.

The name of the system can be considered true advertising because it does have the word "Unadvance" in it.

The large screen makes text easy to read.

Most stores rushed the release of the system because of it being a smart novelty.

Support for the e-reader and MovieSphere connectivity were put back.

The game link port wasn’t changed.

The large size makes it comfortable for most gamers to use it.

Bad Qualities

Although it was less cheap than the GGU PS, it was still more expensive than the TS and even the TS heavy.

The face plate couldn’t be swapped out for face plates with graphic designs on them.

It didn’t bring back the headphone jack, which was put back in the PS model.
