The GameBoy Advance is fast and fun. The 2.9" TFT reflective colour screen is far better than the original GameBoy and there is also a great choice of games. They've mixed the old classic Nintendo games, such as Super Mario with the new, like Pokémon and 'Advance' series of games including the excellent Advance Wars.

There is also the possibilities of connecting individual GBA systems to the GameCube.

One downside to the console is that the screen needs a lot of light to be clearly visible. Accessories have been created to counter this problem, but it comes at a cost.

The system is on par with the SNES in terms of processor speed which is impressive when considering the size of it. The GBA is powered by 2 AA batteries which lasts for roughly 6 hours playing time. Another good advantage of the GameBoy Advance is that you can play your old GameBoy and GameBoy Color games as well.
