GAMEBOOK: ADVANCE

Love the Game Boy Advance? This book looks worthy of a spot on your shelf.

GAMEBOOK: ADVANCE is the latest entry in Paul Murphy's unofficial trilogy of coffee table books celebrating Nintendo's much loved Game Boy family of handhelds.

Coming in at roughly 300-pages, this new volume explores the GBA era of the early 2000s — looking back over the defining games of the 32-bit system, along with hardware revisions, accessories, and thoughtful retrospectives from a pool of writers who all share a love for the platform.

GAMEBOOK ADVANCE book cover

This GBA-focused project started life over on Kickstarter last year and was made a reality thanks to some 500+ backers — now the book is up for general purchase directly from the publisher Ninty Media's site.

The GAMEBOOK: ADVANCE is available now and joins the earlier Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles — with the latest entry costing around $48.

If you've got fond memories of The Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Advance Wars, and other pixel-perfect classics like them then this may be one for you.
