The Game Boy Advance is the next-generation upgrade to the Game Boy Color despite both being developed alongside each other . The system was kept in development for several additional years until prices and technology had reached Nintendo's desired levels.

One of its most successful game remakes has been its Famicom Mini/Classic NES Series, which were classic Nintendo games such as Excitebike and Super Mario Bros. re-released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original Nintendo console.
