GameBoy Advance / SP![]() ![]() The GameBoy is the world's best selling series of handheld consoles, and with each generation bringing a new wave of innovation, hopes were high for the GBA. The GameBoy Advance is tecnically the fifth in the series of GameBoy's, (GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Light (Japan ONLY), GameBoy Colour) and as such it had to be something special- it was. The GBA had L+R buttons, a radical new sidewards design as oppose to vertical, and better graphics with more simultaneous colours. It was an instant success with memorable titles, ands has proved so popular that three incarnations have been made, though I have chosen to list the GameBoy Micro seperately. A great handheld. |
