Looking Back at Every Single Game Boy Advance Launch Game

The Game Boy Advance launched all the way back in 2001, and across North America, Europe, and Japan had a staggering 36 different launch titles. So today on Stuff We Play, let's open a box of memories, dive into some lost titles from the GBA's history, and dive into the launch of the Game Boy Advance and 36 (+1) different games in this hour-long mega-video that took Jamie ages to edit!
