Game Boy Advance Video Ad
Boxart of Pokémon.
Game Boy Advance Video was a series of cartridges for the Game Boy Advance that contained videos of popular children's TV shows and movies. They were developed by Majesco and each featured two episodes of children's television shows such as those that aired on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, the Disney Channel, and 4Kids TV, though this included some Nintendo and Sega owned properties such as Pokémon and Sonic. The only feature-length movies that were released on the format were three DreamWorks Animation films - Shark Tale, Shrek, and Shrek 2.
The cartridges were highly criticized for their lack of high quality imaging, the small amount of space that could be featured on one cart, and the fact that if people wanted to watch it at home and on the road, they'd have to purchase two versions of the TV show/movie.
Unlike the regular Game Boy Advance cartridges and the Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges, the Game Boy Advance video cartridges cannot be played on a Game Boy Player, likely to discourage video piracy. The Game Boy Advance video cartridges can only work on a Game Boy Advance, a Game Boy Advance SP, a Game Boy Micro, a Nintendo DS and a Nintendo DS Lite. They were released from June 2004 to December 2005.
