Happy birthday Game Boy Advance! It’s been 25 years since Nintendo’s handheld line-up bound into the world of proper 16-bit technicolour. Two and a half decades later, with a whopping 81.5m units sold, the diminutive machine is the stuff of legend. Its library is vast, home to many of video gaming’s most iconic series – and it also managed to birth a whole bunch of series that would go on to become just as beloved themselves.
