If you think you're suffering from acute collector's disease, rest assured: we've just found someone even more relentless than you!

A Japanese gamer has managed to collect all 791 Game Boy Advance games released in her country. Elle a annoncé la nouvelle début mars sur son compte X, Sara-nee :

"Game Boy Advance games. 791 titles collected. It seemed both long and short at the same time... I feel relieved. Thank you all, including my followers, for your support. I really appreciate it. The collection period lasted about four and a half years. The total cost was around 4.5 million yen (around €27,800) ‘.

An impressive collection, all the more so because it includes the original boxes for the games, a detail that makes the task of finding certain cartridges in perfect condition even more difficult.

As a reminder, the Game Boy Advance was released in Japan in March 2001, 24 years ago now. The announcement of this extraordinary collection soon attracted the attention of other collectors, who estimate its current value at €61,000**, which could rise to €120,000 in ten years' time**.

But beyond the financial aspect, it's above all the preservation of this videogame heritage that interests us here. The Game Boy Advance was home to such legendary titles as Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Metroid Fusion, Pokémon Emerald, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Mother 3 and many more...
