Nintendo teased that the handheld would first be released in Japan in August 2000, with the North American and European launch dates slated for the end of the same year. On September 1, 1999, Nintendo officially announced the Game Boy Advance, revealing details about the system's specifications including online connectivity through a cellular device and an improved model of the Game Boy Camera.

An improved version of the GBC with wireless online connectivity was codenamed the Advanced Game Boy (AGB), and a brand-new 32-bit system was not set for release until the following year. News of a successor to the Game Boy Color (GB/GBC) first emerged at the Nintendo Space World trade show in late August 1999, where it was reported that two new handheld systems were in development. The Game Boy Advance was designed by the French designer GwГ©naГ«l Nicolas and his Tokyo-based design studio Curiosity Inc. Its successor, the Nintendo DS, was released in November 2004 and is backward compatible with Game Boy Advance software.Д¬ontrary to the previous Game Boy models, which have the 'portrait' form factor of the original Game Boy (designed by Gunpei Yokoi), the Game Boy Advance was designed in a 'landscape' form factor, putting the buttons to the sides of the device instead of below the screen.
