The Game Boy Advance SP has a clamshell design which helps protect the screen from scratches.  When open, it is almost the same size as the [[Game Boy Color]], but slightly thinner.  The screen is a Reflective TFT Color LCD with an integrated frontlight enabling game play in dark places without the use of an external light source. The user has the option to turn the light on and off. In late 2005, Nintendo released an updated version of the GBA SP, with a backlight instead of the usual frontlight. This new lighting system allowed the user to enjoy games in better color and brightness; however, it also causes a half-pixel screen lag.

Unlike previous Game Boys, the GBA SP does not require normal batteries. Instead it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can be recharged using its own [[wp:AC adapter|AC adapter]]. The battery can last up to ten hours with the light on, and only takes three hours to recharge fully. The SP's charger input also is the same as that of the [[Nintendo DS]], so the chargers can be used interchangeably. However, the [[Nintendo DS Lite]] charger won't fit.

Unlike other Game Boy models, the SP does not have a headphone jack. Instead, a special adapter converts the extension port into one. Nintendo also released headphones made specifically for the GBA SP that plug into the charging port.

To play a video game on the GBA SP, the player needs to buy a game separately. The games come in small "cartridges," or as Nintendo sometimes call them, Game Paks, which are small boxes that have chips inside them. The cartridges have to be put into the hole at the front of the system, to make it possible to play the game. The actions or characters in the game are controlled with the directional pad,or D-pad, which is on the inside bottom of the console, just below the screen.

The Game Boy Advance SP can support all [[Game Boy Advance]] games along with all [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games from the past due to the SP's backward compatibility. The Game Boy Advance became the modern flagship of sprite-based games, with its better sprite quality and color. With hardware comparable to the Super NES it had proven that sprite-based technology could improve and live side by side with the 3D games of the day's consoles. The Game Boy Advance not only has typical platformers, but also a huge collection of SNES-style RPGs. These Pokémon games can be played on the Game Boy Advance SP, along with the original [[Game Boy Advance]], and the [[Game Boy micro]]:

The Game Boy Advance SP (Japanese: ゲームボーイアドバンスSP Game Boy Advance SP), also called the GBA SP (SP standing for Special), is Nintendo's 32-bit handheld gaming system that succeeded the original Game Boy Advance. It was released in Japan on February 14, 2003, North America on March 23, 2003, and in Australia on March 28, 2003. It is part of the Game Boy line, succeeding the Game Boy Advance, with a few minor changes, while being succeeded by the Game Boy micro. The Game Boy Advance SP's best selling games are Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions.

Sales

It was first released in Japan on February 14th, 2003, first retailing at ¥12,500. The next month it was released in North America (March 22nd, 2003) where the price of one unit was set at US$99.99 before dropping down to US$79.99 in September the next year. Released in Canada the same day as the US, prices were CA$149.95. Six days later, it was released in Europe and Australia (marketed at €129.99 and AUS$199.99 respectively).

Sales records show that by the end of March 2003, the number of sales in Japan were a modest 0.82 million units, with the Americas at 0.83 million, with the rest of the world totaling 0.46 million. However, by the same time the next year, figures had jumped past the 2 million mark in Japan, while in America the sales were more than double that of Japan. By this time, over 17.6 million units had been sold worldwide. As of September 2008, global sales of the GBA SP are at 43.49 million.

Changes

Physical

  • Size: 8.4 × 8.2 × 2.44 cm when closed
  • Weight: 142 grams
  • Screen: Reflective TFT Color LCD.
  • Light source: Frontlight integrated LCD.
  • Power: Rechargeable lithium ion battery.
  • Battery Life: 10 hours (light on), 18 hours (light off)

The Game Boy Advance SP has a clam shell design which helps protect the screen from scratches. When open, it is almost the same size as the Game Boy Color, but slightly thinner. The screen is a Reflective TFT Color LCD with an integrated frontlight enabling game play in dark places without the use of an external light source. The user has the option to turn the light on and off. In late 2005, Nintendo released an updated version of the GBA SP, with a backlight instead of the usual frontlight. This new lighting system allowed the user to enjoy games in better color and brightness; however, it also causes a half-pixel screen lag.

Unlike previous Game Boys, the GBA SP does not require normal batteries. Instead it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can be recharged using its own AC adapter. The battery can last up to ten hours with the light on, and only takes three hours to recharge fully. The SP's charger input also is the same as that of the Nintendo DS, so the chargers can be used interchangeably. However, the GBA SP is incompatible with the Nintendo DS Lite charger.

Just like its predecessor, it is compatible with all Game Boy Advance games as well as Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.

Unlike other Game Boy models, the SP does not have a headphone jack. Instead, a special adapter converts the extension port into one. Nintendo also released headphones made specifically for the GBA SP that plug into the charging port.

To play a video game on the GBA SP, the player needs to buy a game separately. The games come in small "cartridges," or as Nintendo sometimes call them, Game Paks, which are small boxes that have chips inside them.
