Game Boy Advance is the first portable system I ever bought. The Game Boy Advance was released in Japan in March of 2001 and Europe and North America in June 2001. The original unit features a horizontal layout with a non-backlit screen in the middle powered by two AA batteries which last around 15 hours. The Game Boy Advance SP is the most popular model.

Overall, the Game Boy Advance was a huge success selling over 81 million units worldwide with over 1500 released Game Boy Advance games.

Super Mario Bros 3 is one of the best Game Boy Advance video games. Its easy-level design makes the game so great. The game is full of imagination, and in every single world on every level, you never know what Mario will turn into and what obstacles you will face. The game comes with warp whistles that would let you skip through different levels in the game, and if you manage to find warp whistles, you can skip directly to the final world. Players can move freely, run fast, jump high, slide down to the hills, and more. The game is excellent for younger and inexperienced players. However, experienced players also can play the game without getting tired of it. The game also has a frog suit that lets Mario Jump higher and swim faster, but he slows down when using the frog suit on land. The hammer suit gives Mario the ability to throw hammer projectiles and protect himself with a fireproof shell. There is always more to discover in Super Mario Brothers 3. You can find more things by yourself by playing the game.

Double Dragon Advance for the Game Boy advanced the story for the game is brutal. It is the story of twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee. Billy faced a challenge because shadow warriors kidnapped his girlfriend (Marian). You will see her being punched in the belly and dragged away, it's up to Billy and Jimmy to roam the streets to rescue her, and our game begins. The combat for the game is excellent. You have a wide selection of moves utilizing the whole button layout. There are plenty of attacks, from stomping on your enemies lying on the ground to close lining your enemies. This game offers plenty of options in terms of combat. The gameplay is top-notch. You can easily control your character. However, being in between two enemies can be a bit of a pickle to get out of them. You cannot take enemies lightly. Every foe you come across will challenge your skills. I would classify it as great AI. The game programmers knew what they were doing. The music for the game is exceptional. Double Dragon has one of my favorite soundtracks of video games. Great music can set a game apart. Some animations added to the game, like when Billy is standing, you can see him looking around, and sometimes he makes a Bruce Lee stance that's pretty cool. Double Dragon Advance is one of the greatest games of all time. If you never play Double Dragon games, make sure you pick up the one for the Gameboy advanced. I think it's the best out of all the double dragons I've played.

Metroid zero mission is essentially a retelling of the original Metroid that debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. Those who remember playing that game in its heyday will be in for several surprises here. To get more specific than that would ruin some of the fun.  Even those who don't consider themselves fans of the series ought to appreciate the quality of the game. It features excellent controls, visuals, well-designed action, and exploration elements together with some excellent science-fiction touches. Much like 2002's, Metroid fusion zero mission is a disappointingly short-lived experience, even if it is good. Like every Metroid game, zero mission casts you as the legendary interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran who's one-of-a-kind power armor that enables her to battle foes and reaches places no one else can. The game begins when she lands on the planet Zebes, her mission is to exterminate the space pirate presence on the outer Zebes and to wipe out the Metroid's those floating jellyfish-like creatures whose life-sucking properties threaten the galaxy. The game is a lot easier to play. Unlike the original Metroid, you do have an automap here, and at some key points, a blip on your map will indicate where you should go next. The game can be finished in five or six hours for the first time or even less if you're a veteran in the series. Fire rapidly in any direction using the beam weapon on the player's arm. You can also jump pretty high in the game. Your attacks can be made more powerful by using the ice beam, the wave beam, and the screw attack Samus. There is a lot more to discover in the game.
