The Game Boy Advance (Japanese: ゲームボーイアドバンス Game Boy Advance) is Nintendo's 32-bit handheld gaming system that surpassed the Nintendo Game Boy Color. The Game Boy Advance was released in 2001. Not only did it look dramatically different (a semi trapezoidal shape compared to the rectangle shape of the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color), but it also contained a powerful processor, allowing it to display SNES-caliber graphics and even play voices. The Game Boy Advance was also capable of interaction with the Nintendo GameCube.
The original model was eventually discontinued in favor of the Game Boy Advance SP and Game Boy micro, both of which function similarly.
The Game Boy Advance, like the Game Boy and Game Boy Color before it, is not region-locked. This means that a player can play a Game Boy Advance game from any region in their own locally purchased console.
