Game Boy Advance



The Game Boy Advance was Nintendo's third handheld console, following the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Two games are playable on it, both only released in Japan. The Game Boy Advance featured smaller cartridges than that of the older Game Boys, and was able to play the games of its predecessor on it.

Redesigns
A redesign for the Game Boy Advance was made, known as the Game Boy Advance SP, which had a more similar look to the old Game Boy, except for the fact that it had a crease in the middle and could be folded up.

Another redesign for the Game Boy Advance was released, called the Game Boy Micro. It is much more compact than the first two versions, and features a slightly smaller screen. A limited edition Mother 3-themed version of the Game Boy Micro was available if one preordered Mother 3, colored bright red and having a pattern of the Nowhere Islands on it.

Hardware
The Game Boy Advance, like its predecessor, could connect with others through a link cable. This, however, was not utilized in any Mother games.
