Game Boy Advance

The Game Boy Advance (GBA), launched by Nintendo in 2001, marked a significant evolution in the world of portable consoles. Equipped with a 32-bit ARM7TDMI processor and a 2.9-inch color TFT screen, it offered significantly superior performance compared to its predecessors. Its backward compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games expanded its catalog, while iconic titles like Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire contributed to its success. The GBA had two variants: the Game Boy Advance SP in 2003, with its compact design and backlit screen, and the Game Boy Micro in 2005. With 36 versions recorded, the GBA has left an indelible mark on the history of portable video gaming, paving the way for future innovations.
