The Game Boy Advance (ゲームボーイアドバンス, Gēmu Bōi Adobansu), often shortened to GBA,[1] is a Nintendo handheld console and the successor to the Game Boy Color.

Models

Game Boy Advance

The original model features a wider screen than its predecessors, shoulder buttons, and processing power comparable to the SNES. The Game Boy Advance is backwards compatible with both the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Color.

Game Boy Advance SP

The Game Boy Advance SP features a foldable design, a rechargeable battery, and a frontlit screen. On September 2005, an improved version with a backlit screen was released in North America. A limited edition Zelda-themed Game Boy Advance SP bundle was also released. Limited to 25,000 copies, it featured a golden console with the Triforce outside and the Wingcrest inside. It also included a copy of The Minish Cap (without box). It was available for sale only in Europe and Australia.

Game Boy Micro

The Game Boy Micro features a smaller design, a backlit screen, and removable face plate. It is also no longer backwards compatible with the previous Game Boy consoles.

Trivia

  • If the Oracle games are played on any Game Boy Advance instead of a Game Boy Color, the Advance Shop can be found, where the GBA Time and GBA Nature Rings can be bought.
  • Seven Game Boy Advance SP consoles made of real gold were given away as a promotion during the release of The Minish Cap. Six of these could be claimed by finding a winning card inside the Zelda-themed Game Boy Advance SP bundle.
