Game Compatibility
The Game Boy Advance SP plays every game that can also be played on the Game Boy Advance.
And vice versa. That's hundreds and hundreds of Game Boy Advance-only games. Want to go
retro? You can also play every Game Boy or Game Boy Color game ever made.
GBA GCN Link
Developers have only begun to tap the possibilities of the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable.
Exchange data. Unlock secret characters, items and levels. Use the GBA SP as a secret game screen.

Some games even let you share a single Game Pak!
