Are There Shops That Still Sell Gameboy Advance?

I have got a Nintendo DS that also has a slot for Gameboy Advance games. Nintendo DS games are still sold at CEX as I bought one today. Don't know if any shops still do GBA though these days. I've never upgraded to the 3DS and Switch. I still have some Gameboy Colour games but do not have anything to play them on anymore.

    CeX has them; they're certainly not as cheap as they used to be.

    If I am right in my thinking, the older Gameboy cartridges (Gameboy Colour and GBA) run from a battery in the cartridge itself (for saving games if I remember rightly). So I would imagine that when those batteries die, the game is next to useless (you can replace them, but a special screwdriver is needed).
    That might be why they are so rare, and expensive.

    I still have my GBA somewhere. I got it for my birthday years ago secondhand

    Go to an indie games store for game collecting, not CEX. Awful prices.

    Alternatively I doubt Nintendo would care if you bought one of those pirated carts with 1,000+ games on it. Usually nowadays they’re just a flash cart with every game for the system in .ROM format…
