Nintendo's groundbreaking run of handheld consoles makes us look back on our video game-filled childhoods with so much glee. First came the original Game Boy, and then we adopted the slimmer Game Boy Pocket. Right after that, we got introduced to a miniature world full of bright and beautiful splendor with the Game Boy Color. Once the GBC's run came to a satisfying end, Nintendo's fascinating 32-bit handheld wonder arrived on June 11, 2001, to tons of fan adoration. Ladies and gentlemen, we're talking about the legendary Game Boy Advance. With 81.51 million units of the mini console sold worldwide and two impressive redesigns (the Game Boy Advance SP and the Game Boy Micro), it's safe to say that the GBA enjoyed a hell of a run. Join us as we look back on its memorable run as we list the 30 best GBA games of all time!
