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 characters, and it also managed to birth a whole bunch of series that would go on to become just as beloved themselves.
