Game Boy Advance: Difference between revisions

The '''[[nwiki:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]]''' is a handheld game system created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the third and final system in the Game Boy series and is Nintendo's fourth handheld system. It has backwards compatibility with the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]]. The palette options are exactly the same as they are on the Game Boy Color. The Game Boy Advance line has sold 81.50 million units worldwide according to Nintendo, and it was discontinued in 2008. The console's button configuration inherits the {{button|gba|A}} , {{button|gba|B}} , {{button|gba|start}} , and {{button|gba|select}} buttons as well as the {{button|gba|Pad}} from the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, but introduces two additional buttons: the {{button|gba|L}} and {{button|gba|R}} buttons. Unlike its [[Nintendo DS|successor]], the standard Game Boy Advance does not have a backlit screen, so the player cannot see the screen in the dark without the use of external devices. The standard Game Boy Advance is the last handheld to require two AAs and it is also the last Nintendo handheld until the [[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo 2DS|Nintendo 2DS]] to not have a clamshell design (with the exception of the [[#Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]]). The home console to the Game Boy Advance was the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Its graphical capability could be likened to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].
