How can you possibly make the world best-selling system even more popular? You take away as many flaws as you can and improve what's left. That's exactly what Nintendo has done with the successor to the original Game Boy. Problems that many gamers had with some of the previous Game Boy formats included blurry graphics (common on the original green-screen device), uncomfortable design and low battery life. With the Game Boy Advance Nintendo addressed both of the first two issues. But another problem developed; in several early games the graphics were too dark to see without a strong light source nearby. In response, Nintendo swiftly produced the upgraded Game Boy Advance SP, the same machine with a sleek laptop-style flip-open screen, built-in light and rechargeable battery pack. What didn't change was what the Game Boy Advance does: plays every Game Boy game past and present flawlessly. Unsurprisingly, the Game Boy Advance continues to sell - in fact the portable powerhouse remains more successful than its more powerful console competition.
