The various parts of AGB:

You can see that the prototype L and R button (top picture) is different than the final product. Nintendo made a good choice to make the final L and R button bigger.

Nintendo does not admit this, but the Start and Select button is supposedly different in height by about 0.2mm. Looking at it, you can't see the difference, but if you touch it, you can feel the difference in height. Is this a manufacturing defect, or part of the design? Also, now because of the horizontal orientation of AGB, the direction pad and A and B button is further apart. This makes one hand operation very difficult, especially for RPG games. But this is just a small complaint from a lazy gamer.

Yes, there is a place for attaching a strap, so don't worry. What strap are you using?


     
Speaker        Headphone Jack & Volume Control

Using a stereo headphone, you can enjoy powerful sound thanks to the AGB's PCM sound source. But don't expect CD quality sound and music.

This is the on and off switch.

This is the battery indicator. It will change color when there is only about 20% power capacity left.
