Game Boy Advance Games Collection
The Game Boy Advance (GBA), released in 2001, was Nintendo's 32-bit handheld successor to the Game Boy Color. It featured significantly improved graphics and processing power while maintaining backward compatibility with previous Game Boy games. The GBA's landscape-oriented design with two shoulder buttons marked a departure from earlier models. Its library included enhanced ports of SNES classics as well as original titles like Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, Metroid Fusion, and Advance Wars. The system sold over 81 million units worldwide across its original model, the clamshell-design SP (2003), and the backlit-microscreen Game Boy Micro (2005). The GBA became known for excellent 2D games during a period when consoles were transitioning to 3D, preserving classic game design approaches. Its link cable functionality allowed multiplayer gaming, and it eventually became compatible with the Nintendo GameCube via a special cable. The GBA's success cemented Nintendo's dominance in the handheld market prior to the DS era.
