What is the origin of the Game Boy Advance?
The Game Boy Advance was developed alongside the Game Boy Color under the name "Project Atlantis" and was released in 2001. The system is a 32-bit console, giving the Game Boy Advance capabilities comparable to Nintendo's (then) ten-year-old Super Nintendo, but in a handheld form.
How does the Game Boy Advance differ from earlier models?
The Game Boy Advance is held horizontally instead of vertically. This was a new feature for a Game Boy, resulting in a more comfortable gaming experience.
What is the battery configuration of the Game Boy Advance?
The Game Boy Advance uses two AA batteries, just like the Game Boy Color. However, this would be the last time a Nintendo handheld would require batteries.
What redesigns has the Game Boy Advance undergone?
In 2003, a redesign was released, the Game Boy Advance SP. This model featured a front-lit foldable screen and used an internal rechargeable battery. Later in 2005, the Game Boy Micro was introduced, a smaller variant with a sharper backlight screen. This model only plays Game Boy Advance games.
Fun facts:
- The Game Boy Advance is the only Nintendo console compatible with games from two other consoles, namely the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.
- Because the Game Boy Advance was nearly as powerful as the Super Nintendo, various games from the latter were re-released on this handheld. For example, the Super Mario Advance series offered adventures previously experienced in Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island.
- Shortly after the DS surpassed the Game Boy Advance in sales in 2009, production was halted, along with the SP and Micro models.
