The '''Game Boy Advance''', often abbreviated as '''GBA''', is a handheld video game console made by [[Nintendo]] and released in 2001. Three [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' games]] were released for the Game Boy Advance: ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' in 2002; ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', a remake of ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', in 2004; and ''[[Classic NES Series: Metroid]]'', a port of the NES version of ''Metroid'', also in 2004.

Two revisions of the Game Boy Advance were released: Game Boy Advance SP, which features a clamshell design and an illuminated display, in 2003; and the much smaller Game Boy Micro, which removed Game Boy and Game Boy Color backward compatibility, in 2005. The Game Boy Advance was succeeded by the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2004.

Several Game Boy Advance games, including ''Metroid Fusion'' and ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', were re-released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the [[Wii U]]. Additionally, a [[Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console version of ''Metroid Fusion'' was distributed exclusively to early adopters of the system alongside various other GBA games

The Game Link Cable allows two to four Game Boy Advance systems to link together for multiplayer or other features. ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' uses the Game Link Cable to connect with ''Metroid Fusion'' to unlock the [[Fusion Gallery]] in the former.

===Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable===
Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable allows a Game Boy Advance to connect to a [[Nintendo GameCube]] via one of its controller ports, unlocking features in certain games. ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' uses the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable to connect with ''Metroid Fusion'' to unlock the NES version of ''Metroid'' and the [[Fusion Suit]] in ''Metroid Prime''.
