The Play-Yan is a media player for the Game Boy Advance. It uses SD flash memory to play MP3 audio files and ASF/MPEG-4 video files. It can also play 13 bonus mini-games which were released to ClubNintendo members in Japan. It is designed for the Game Boy Advance SP and also compatible with the Nintendo DS and the Game Boy Micro, but due to its power requirement, use with an original Game Boy Advance system is not recommended. Sales of the Play-Yan were discontinued on September 11, 2005. Its successor, the Play-Yan Micro, was released two days later. Play-Yan was released in China by iQue under the name of MP4 Player for GBA.

Nintendo of Europe confirmed that Europe would be receiving the Play-Yan along with the Game Boy Micro at the 2005 Games Convention in Germany, although a release date and plans for an American release are yet to be announced. The former announcement has yet to be fulfilled with a proper release of the Play-Yan in Europe, and no further news on a release has been published, although the first issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine did place the Play-Yan in the year 2006 in a timeline of Nintendo's innovations.

Currently a 2006 release date is planned for the USA as well. Category:Nintendo hardware
