I didn’t have a SNES growing up, so the ports on the GBA were godsend for me. Other than that, developers got crazy creative with the hardware, despite its low power. Aggressive Inline had pseudo 3D and licensed soundtrack, there were cartridges with rumble, tilt and light sensors. You could use the console as a GameCube controller. I still remember playing Castlevania under the lamp in our living room (the screen of the original GBA was terribly dark) when I heard the new about 9/11. I also got a flash cart and dipped my toes into developing when I was about 15. Fond memories!
