The '''Game Boy Advance SP''' (Japanese: '''ゲームボーイアドバンス{{j|SP}}''' ''Game Boy Advance SP''), also called the '''GBA SP''' (SP standing for Special), is [[Nintendo]]'s 32-bit handheld gaming system that succeeded the original [[Game Boy Advance]]. It was released in Japan on February 14, 2003, North America on March 23, 2003, and in Australia on March 28, 2003. It is part of the Game Boy line, succeeding the [[Game Boy Advance]], with a few minor changes, while being succeeded by the [[Game Boy micro]]. Game Boy Advance SP's best selling games are the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]].

To play a video game on the GBA SP, the player needs to buy a game separately. The games come in small "cartridges," or as Nintendo sometimes call them, Game Paks, which are small boxes that have chips inside them. The cartridges have to be put into the hole at the front of the system, to make it possible to play the game. The actions or characters in the game are controlled with the directional pad, or D-pad, which is on the inside bottom of the console, just below the screen.
