Sorry but we'll never shy away from an excuse to highlight one of the rarest items in our archive: Check out some clips of Nintendo veteran Steve Okimoto introducing the GBA to Nintendo of America employees for the first time! This tape is dated 9/22/00, nearly 8 months prior to the GBA's US launch!

Happy birthday to the Game Boy Advance, which released in the USA on this day in 2001! Can you believe Nintendo's potent little handheld is a quarter-century old this year? We feel old.

Possible, but more likely he was just talking about rechargeable AAs. Here’s some more context! bsky.app/profile/hits...

Here's the full clip about battery with a bit more context! Based on this, we're guessing Steve was referring to the idea of removing and charging a set of rechargeable AAs.
