Game Boy Advance is Nintendo’s third major portable game console and a successor to the company’s famous Game Boy and Game Boy Color consoles. It has much more powerful hardware than its predecessors, different design and two more buttons on the side of the device. The GBA hardware is comparable to that of SNES and majority of the games on the system featured 2D sprite-based graphics reminiscent to that of 16-bit consoles. The console had two revisions: Game Boy Advance SP in 2003 and Game Boy Micro in 2005. SP is a more lightweight version of the system that had improved backlit display and clamshell design. The Game Boy micro is a much smaller version of GBA with the size comparable to that of the NES controller. All of the Game Boy Advance revision except for Game Boy Mini were backward compatible with most of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. The most successful games on the system were the titles in the Pokémon series. Some other well-known game series that had successful titles on the system include Metroid, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario, PAC-Man and Kirby among others.
RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 12 of the 24 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 11 of these games have one.
Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
breakdown RAWG suppresses.
No user has rated these, so there is no score to show or recover. Ordered by release date, newest first.
