In 2001, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance (GBA or AGB), which added two shoulder buttons, a larger screen, and more computing power to the Game Boy Color. It also had an infrared communications port for wireless linking which did not appear in later versions of the Game Boy, such as the Game Boy Advance. The processor is twice as fast as a Game Boy's and has twice as much memory. It features a color screen, and is only slightly bigger than the Game Boy Pocket. The Game Boy Color (also referred to as GBC or CGB) is Nintendo's successor to the Game Boy and was released on Octoin Japan and in November of the same year in the United States. Nintendo purchased the rights for the game, and packaged it with the Game Boy system. In June 1988, Minoru Arakawa, then-CEO of Nintendo of America saw a demonstration of the game Tetris at a trade show. Nintendo recognized that the Game Boy needed a killer app – at least one game that would define the console, and persuade customers to buy it.

The original Nintendo release would become the best-selling gaming system of all time.

The Game Boy developed and manufactured by Nintendo and released in 1989 was the predecessor of all the later Game boy consoles that came.
