==Revisions== ===Game Boy Advance SP=== {{Main|Game Boy Advance SP}} [[File:Game-Boy-Advance-SP-Mk1-Blue.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Game Boy Advance SP]] In early 2003, Nintendo introduced a new form-factor for the handheld, known as the [[Game Boy Advance SP]] (model AGS-001). The redesigned unit features a [[clamshell design]] that resembles a pocket-size [[laptop]] computer, including a folding case approximately one-half the size of the original unit. It has a rechargeable [[lithium-ion battery]], a significantly brighter [[Liquid-crystal display|LCD]] screen, and an internal front-light that can be toggled on and off. The redesign was intended to address some common complaints about the original Game Boy Advance, which had been criticized for being somewhat uncomfortable to use, especially due to a dark screen.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Robbs |first=Matt |title=Can You Make The Gameboy Advance Screen Brighter? |url=https://retroonly.com/can-you-make-the-gameboy-advance-screen-brighter/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125142208/https://retroonly.com/can-you-make-the-gameboy-advance-screen-brighter/ |archive-date=January 25, 2022 |access-date=January 25, 2022 |website=Retro Only |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=IGN Staff |date=June 11, 2001 |title=Game Boy Advance: System Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/06/11/game-boy-advance-system-review |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220111091706/https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/06/11/game-boy-advance-system-review |archive-date=January 11, 2022 |access-date=January 8, 2022 |website=IGN}}</ref> ====Backlit model (AGS-101)==== {{main|Game Boy Advance SP#Backlit model (AGS-101)}} On September 19, 2005, Nintendo released a new version of the SP, model AGS-101, that features a brighter backlit display. The switch that controls the backlight now toggles between two brightness levels.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 23, 2005 |title=Brighter SP coming to Europe |url=http://eurogamer.net/articles/news230905brightersp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612135413/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/news230905brightersp |archive-date=June 12, 2010 |website=eurogamer.net}}</ref> ===Game Boy Micro=== {{Main|Game Boy Micro}} [[File:Game-Boy-Micro.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Game Boy Micro]] In September 2005, Nintendo released a second redesign of the Game Boy Advance. This model, dubbed the Game Boy Micro, is similar in style to the original Game Boy Advance's horizontal orientation, but is much smaller and sleeker. The Game Boy Micro allows the user to switch between several colored faceplates to allow customization, a feature which Nintendo advertised heavily around the Game Boy Micro's launch. Nintendo also hoped that this "fashion" feature would help target audiences outside of typical video game players. Unlike the previous Game Boy Advance models, the Game Boy Micro is unable to support [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] titles. The Game Boy Micro did not make much of an impact in the video game market, as it was overshadowed by the [[Nintendo DS]], which also played Game Boy Advance games through the GBA cartridge slot.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nintendo Co., Ltd. - Corporate Management Policy Briefing β Q&A |url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/kessan/060607qa_e/03.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220021407/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/kessan/060607qa_e/03.html |archive-date=December 20, 2008 |access-date=December 6, 2008 |publisher=[[Nintendo]] Co., Ltd. |page=3 |quote=The sales of Micro did not meet our expectations ...
