A Game Boy Advance.
The Game Boy Advance is a handheld console developed by Nintendo, released in mid-2001.
While no Pikmin titles have been released for the Game Boy Advance, it supported the e-Reader, which allowed the player to play special Pikmin-themed minigames using e-cards. This is done by connecting a Game Boy Player (a device which allows playing Game Boy Advance games on the GameCube) to a GameCube with Pikmin 2 inserted.
Pikmin 3 was originally made for Game Boy Advance, and later 3DS, but Shigeru Miyamoto wasn't happy that either of these consoles were uncapable for the type of game he wanted to produce. Eventually, he settled on the Wii U.[1]
