Farewell, Game Boy Advance

It's little surprise that amidst the Nintendo 3DS launch comes news that GameStop will soon cease buying and selling Game Boy Advance systems and games.

The venerable platform had a fantastic run, producing a host of quality games, and its offerings were backward compatible with the first versions of the original Nintendo DS. I still have two GBA games in my collection: "Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls" and the first "WarioWare, Inc." game. So long as I keep my original Nintendo DS system, I'll be keeping these great titles.

But if you're looking to sell off any GBA games still littering your drawers, now is the time to do so. GameStop will stop buying the GBA systems and games sometime in April. So act now, less all you're left with is the option to turn your GBA games into USB drives. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.
