As many know the Game Boy Advance along with the Super NES are among two of the most popular game consoles that Nintendo has ever made. While the Super NES was considered to be the best selling game console of the 90’s there is no question that the Game Boy Advance ended selling more during the 00’s following its initial release back in 2001. While the Super NES managed to sell over 49 million units worldwide the Game Boy Advance had managed to reach over 81 million within a decade. While Mario games were huge draws for the SNES and the GBA in terms of revenue for Nintendo the 32-Bit handheld console had Pokémon titles such as Ruby, Sapphire which sold millions during the first half of the 00’s.

Also, some of the best selling games that we saw on the Game Boy Advance included ports & remakes of SNES titles such as the Super Mario Bros trilogy Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, etc. The Game Boy Advance provided players with an opportunity to enjoy a few classics from the SNES which was definitely one of the factors that contributed to the overall appeal of the handheld game console back in the 00’s. Also, the Game Boy Advance has games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories along with the Sonic Advance series which made people who never owned the SNES want to purchase the GBA simply for those type of titles. Choosing one game console over the other is tough especially since the SNES arguably had more memorable RPG’s such Earthbound, Illusion of Gaia, Seiken Densetsu 3 and others that never made it to the Game Boy Advance.
