Game Boy Advance – Who are You?

The Game Boy Advance (GBA) is Nintendo's handheld portable system initially released in Japan on March 21, 2001. The GBA's design featured a landscape form factor, diverging from the portrait layout of the previous Game Boy models. The design put the buttons to the sides of the device instead of below the screen. A part of the sixth generation of video games, the Game Boy Advance was noted as the third and final Game Boy iteration. The Game Boy Advance is backwards compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, making it the only Nintendo console to be backwards compatible with more than one system. Compared to the Game Boy Color it succeeded, the console offered a significantly more powerful ARM7 processor and improved graphics, while retaining backward compatibility with games initially developed for its predecessor. By June 2010, the Game Boy Advance series including revisions, had sold 81.51 million units worldwide, massively outselling its competitors.

Features:

• Console-quality Gaming - Anywhere - In 2001, Nintendo delivered the next generation of portable entertainment into the hands of eager gamers. The Game Boy Advance gives you console-quality gaming in your pocket - and its bright, colourful and finger-intuitive design is still a classic.
• Colours Advanced - It's not just the Game Boy Advance screen that's alive with vibrant colours. The handheld was released in range of cool casing colours.
• Headphone Jack - A built-in speaker means you don't need headphones to hear your Game Boy Advance games - but plug in some cans and you'll treat your ears to the full power of Game Boy Advance's PCM Stereo Sound System. Multi-layered background music, stunning effects and speech in crisp stereo sound - audio dynamite.
• System Size - Despite the superior screen and power boost, Game Boy Advance's dimensions make it the perfect pocket-sized pal. You can bring the blistering brawn of a 32-bit system with you wherever you go.
• Connectivity with Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance aren't just world-beating systems in their own right - by hooking them together with the Game Boy Advance Cable, you'll open the door to a breathtaking world of new videogame experiences. Depending on the game, you'll be able to swap data, unlock new game levels, or use the Game Boy Advance as an input device.
