Manufacturer description

The Game Boy Advance system is 32 bits of power in a housing that's the same length and width, but even thinner than Game Boy Color. It's just the right size for slipping into your pocket. Nintendo's Game Boy Advance has a more powerful processor, larger screen and great multiplayer features! Connect four GBA systems at once for a whole new level of multiplayer action! With some games, you can get multiplayer action by sharing only one Game Pak! Nintendo made the GBA screen 50% bigger than Game Boy Color! That must mean the GBA is bigger than the GBC too, right? No way. It's the same compact size, but with a screen that's bigger, higher-resolution and exploding with more colors. Gameplay always comes first. With the new horizontal design and the addition of two new L and R buttons, GBA takes gameplay to a whole new level. Maximum control means maximum fun. You can play Game Boy Advance for fifteen hours on one pair of AA batteries. That's 50% more time than the solid ten hours Game Boy Color offered. Game Paks for GBA are half the size of Game Boy Color Game Paks. When you need to bring it everywhere, the more compact the better. With the NINTENDO GAMECUBE Game Boy Advance Link Cable, players can connect their two favorite game systems for all-new ways to play. While the first games have used the cable to transfer characters between the systems, future possibilities include unlocking hidden features, special mini-game downloads, and even using the Game Boy Advance as a supplementary game screen or input device. Nintendo is launching tons of new games for GBA, but this system already has the biggest game library of any existing system! Your favorite Game Boy and Game Boy Color games can be played on GBA! In addition, Nintendo's GBA has an awesome PCM stereo sound system for the best possible background music and sound effects.
