The Game Boy Advance (GBA) turns 20 this year, marking a milestone since its June 11, 2001, North American release. Developed by Nintendo, the GBA represented a major leap forward from the Game Boy Color, featuring a 32-bit processor, a vibrant 2.9-inch screen, and a sleek, horizontal design. It introduced gamers to titles that would define a generation, like Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Metroid Fusion. Unlike its predecessors, the GBA boasted backward compatibility, letting players revisit classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. With its unique lineup of colorful shells—Arctic White, Glacier Blue, Fuchsia Pink, and more—it became an icon of early 2000s gaming culture. Its legacy lives on, shaping the way we play today.
