===Compatibility with other systems===

An add-on for the [[GameCube]], known as the [[Game Boy Player]], was released in 2003 as the successor to the [[Super Game Boy]] peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. This add-on allows Game Boy Advance, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color games to be played on the GameCube. However, some games may have compatibility issues due to certain features requiring extra hardware; for instance, ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' would require the console to be rotated manually due to its nature as a tilt sensor game.

The GBA is the last Nintendo handheld system to bear the Game Boy name. Games developed for it are incompatible with older Game Boy systems, and each game's box carries a label indicating that the game is "not compatible with other Game Boy systems." Conversely, games designed for older Game Boy systems are compatible with the Game Boy Advance, with options to play such games on either their standard [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratios]] or a stretched fullscreen using the shoulder buttons.

Game Boy Advance cartridges are compatible with [[Nintendo DS]] models that support them with a dedicated GBA cartridge slot beneath the touch screen (specifically the original model and the [[Nintendo DS Lite]]), although they do not support multiplayer or features involving the use of GBA accessories due to the absence of the GBA's external peripheral port on the DS. They can also be used to unlock original content found in Nintendo DS games. The [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo DSi#Larger model|Nintendo DSi XL]] lack a GBA cartridge slot, and therefore do not support backward compatibility with the GBA.
