Namco Museum for Game Boy Advance was one of the first compilations in the Namco Museum series to omit a virtual museum. The GBA version was released worldwide, and was a launch title for the system in North America.[1] The following games, originally featured in Namco Museum Vol. 1 and Namco Museum Vol. 3 for the PlayStation, are included:
The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2]NextGen said of the game, "The emulation is perfect, though GBA's mono speaker warps the timbre of the occasional sound effect. [...] If you can actually see it, you'll love it."[11] Bad Hare of GamePro called it "an old-school must-own."[14][a]
The game sold 2.4 million units in the U.S. and earned $37 million by August 2006. During the period between June 2001 and August 2006, it was the third-highest-selling game for handheld game consoles in that country.[15] By December 2007, that number grew to 2.96 million units.[16]
