On June 11, the portable world will change forever. That is the day Nintendo will release their new handheld, the Game Boy Advance, to the North American audience. The Game Boy Advance is the successor to the overwhelmingly popular Game Boy handheld series. With a slightly hefty retail price of $99.95, the Game Boy Advance, unlike the previous handheld upgrades, will completely change the expectations of a handheld console.
Impressive hardware is only impressive if there is software to use it. To back up their new software, Nintendo also announced that 15 games will be ready for launch.

- Super Mario Advance (Nintendo)
- F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (Nintendo)
