Why get a GBA
Games that fit in ten minutes, not ten hours.
Modern games ask for your whole evening. The GBA asks for a coffee break. Pick it up, play a little of a classic, then put it down. No updates, no log-ins, no fuss.
Nothing to fix
No soldering and no hunting for parts. It arrives finished, so there's no risk of damaging it yourself.
A screen you can see
The original GBA had no backlight at all. This backlit IPS screen has 15 brightness levels and works anywhere, even in bed with the lights off.
No more AA batteries
A built-in 1800mAh battery charges over USB-C, just like your phone.

Questions
Before you ask
What games can I play on it?
Original Game Boy Advance cartridges, plus Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges. That's 1,500+ games, from Pokémon and Zelda to Mario Kart and Metroid. If paired with an EZFlash Flashcart, it can even play NES games.
How long does the battery last?
It runs on a built-in 1800mAh rechargeable battery that replaces the original two AA batteries. Battery life depends on screen brightness, and you recharge it over USB-C.
How much better is the IPS screen than the original?
Night and day. The original GBA screen has no backlight at all, so you needed a lamp to see it. The M2 IPS panel is backlit, sharp and colourful, with 15 brightness levels.
I already have an old GBA. Can you mod mine instead?
Yes. Our repair and upgrade service gives your own console the same refurbishment, IPS screen and USB-C treatment.
What if something goes wrong?
Every console comes with a 30 day warranty. If anything stops working because of our build and not due to misuse, we'll repair it.
How long until it arrives?
This console is already built and tested, so there's no build wait. We'll message you as soon as it's on its way.
Do you have other models?
Yes. Our best-seller is the modded Game Boy Advance SP, which folds shut to fit in your pocket.
One console. Ready when you are.
