The GBA
In 2001, Nintendo unleashed the Game Boy Advance onto store shelves as the next major release of the handheld device lineup - thus, bringing them into the 6th generation of consoles.
Games on the GBA looked and played better than ever, thanks to 32-bit hardware and, as a first for Game Boys, a 15-bit color screen. Early models had no backlight, which the later Game Boy Advance SP integrated, thankfully.
The GBA hosted a plethora of beloved titles. While it didn't sell as well as Nintendo's other handhelds, it was an excellent performer and still remains sought-after today. Its legacy continues, with a number of GBA titles being playable through the Nintendo Switch Online Service.
