== Revisions ==

=== Game Boy Advance SP ===
In early 2003, Nintendo released a new revision of the Game Boy Advance called the Game Boy Advance SP, with the "SP" standing for "Special". This model includes a clamshell design, a rechargeable battery, and the ability to enable a brighter screen. The headphone jack has been removed and requires the use of a dongle that plugs in to the charger port, making it impossible to charge the GBA SP and use headphones simultaneously. The original AGS-001 models feature a frontlit screen that can be toggled on, or left off, resembling the non-lit screen of the original GBA. The later AGS-101 models, released in 2005, feature a backlit screen with two brightness settings. The cartridge slot is placed on the bottom of the unit as opposed to the top. As such, games with motion sensors will ask the player which device they are using and accommodate the controls accordingly. The [[wikipedia:Nintendo e-Reader|e-Reader]] will still work with the SP, but the Link Cable passthrough connector will be sticking out; the user can still use the Link Cable port on top of the SP instead.

=== Game Boy Micro ===
In late 2005, Nintendo released the Game Boy Micro, a smaller, compact redesign of the Game Boy Advance, designed to fit in the palm of one's hand. This model omits Game Boy and Game Boy Color backwards compatibility and features a new charger connector, meaning the connector used for the SP and the original [[Nintendo DS]] is not compatible. For multiplayer titles, the system requires the use of its own Link Cable; connecting to devices that use the original Link Cable (Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Player) requires the use of an adapter.
