Celebrate Nintendo's Game Boy Advance in this video game history that traces the handheld's network of hardware and software afterlives! In 2002, Nintendo of America launched an international marketing campaign for the Game Boy Advance that revolved around the slogan "Who Are You?"-asking potential buyers which Nintendo character, game, or even device they identified with and attempting to sell a new product by exploiting players' nostalgic connections to earlier ones.

You'll learn about: . The evolution of Nintendo's handhelds and consoles, and how they embed nostalgia into the hardware .Nintendo's expansion of the Game Boy Advance platform through interoperability .Physical and affective engagement with the Game Boy Advance .Portability, private space, and social interaction .The platformization of nostalgia .Fan-generated content including homebrew, hacking, and hardware modding . And much more!
