:: Multiplayer ::
Here's the really cool part! 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!
:: Screen Size ::
We made the GBA screen 50% bigger! 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 colours.
:: Two New Buttons ::
Game play always comes first. With the new horizontal design and the addition of a Left and Right button, GBA takes game play to a whole new level. Maximum control means maximum fun.
:: Colours Advanced ::
Available in Purple, White, Clear Blue and Clear Red Colors...You pick the colour that suits you best.
:: Battery Power ::
More juice. You can play Game Boy Advance for fifteen hours on one pair of batteries. That's 50% more time than the solid ten hours Game Boy Color offered. Note: like your GBC, GBA can only be played with alkaline batteries.
:: Game Paks ::
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.
:: Future Connectibility ::
We don't want to give too much away, but think about the possibilities of connecting individual GBA systems to Nintendo GAMECUBE...you might secretly select your next offensive strategy in a football game or download part of a Nintendo GAMECUBE game for portable play...or even...
:: Backwards Compatibility ::
We're launching tonnes of new games for GBA, but this system already has the biggest game library of any system! All Game Boy and Game Boy Color games can be played on GBA! That's more than 450 games! So far...
:: Headphone Jack ::
We've built in an awesome PCM stereo sound system for the best possible background music and sound effects.
:: System Size ::
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.
