Game Boy Advance | GBA SP

The Game Boy Advance SP represents a revolutionary leap in Nintendo's handheld gaming history. Released in 2003, the SP improved upon the original GBA with its innovative clamshell design and built-in frontlit screen, making it the first backlit Nintendo handheld. Its rechargeable battery and sleek form factor made portable gaming more convenient than ever before. The "SP" in the name stands for "Special". The SP was followed by the Nintendo DS (released in November 2004) and the Game Boy Micro (released in September 2005).

    Great dual USB-C port!

    Installation is easy and operation is great! Highly recommend when upgrading your OEM SP charging port so you can also have audio-out! All @robot_retro spacers will work with this port, too! A+++
