Gameboy Advance SP - Blue

About this deal

The Game Boy Advance SP, released in 2003, is the upgraded, fold-open version of the original Game Boy Advance, keeping the same great GBA game library while adding a built-in lit screen and a rechargeable battery. Its clamshell design also protects the screen when closed, making it one of the most travel-friendly handhelds Nintendo ever made. This listing is a used example in blue. The Game Boy Advance SP supports the full Game Boy Advance library and remains backward compatible with earlier generations, meaning it can play three eras of Game Boy games. It was also the first Nintendo handheld to include a built-in rechargeable battery pack rather than requiring separate or individual batteries. The one notable omission compared to earlier Game Boy models is the headphone jack, though a headphone adapter was sold separately. As a used item, buyers should check the condition of the screen, hinge, and whether a charger is included.
