Game Boy Advance e-Reader

The e-Reader plugs into the Game Boy Advance and is used to scan the Dot Code on the e-Reader cards. The Dot Code may contain images, text or entire games that one can play on a Game Boy Advance.

For instance, one might swipe a Pokémon-e card through the e-Reader and see an animation and information on the GBA screen. Or one could swipe five classic Nintendo Entertainment System cards and play an entire game such as Donkey Kong Jr. There are many different types of e-Reader card packs available now.

The e-Reader and Game Boy Advance can also be used to transmit data to certain Nintendo GameCube games by using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable. This feature only works with specially designed games. Be sure to check the packaging to see which games are compatible with e-Reader.

The e-Reader accessory for Game Boy Advance will be available on September 16, 2002 for an MSRP* of $39.95 U.S. ($69.95 Cdn).
