Ports
A port of Sonic Advance titled Sonic N was released as a launch title for the Nokia N-Gage in North America on October 7, 2003. Gameplay is identical to the GBA version, except for the exclusion of the Tiny Chao Garden. The game runs slightly slower on the N-Gage. The most apparent difference between the two versions is the screen resolution: The N-Gage's screen is portrait unlike the GBA, so the player is offered a choice of two modes: a full resolution mode with a narrower field of view, or a letterboxed 4:3 mode with scaled-down graphics.
A port for Android devices was released in Japan on November 25, 2011. No announcements for other regions have been announced as of yet.
Another port was also released for J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition).

Famous quotes containing the word ports:
“All places that the eye of heaven visits
Are to a wise man ports and happy havens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is true, we are such poor navigators that our thoughts, for the most part, stand off and on upon a harborless coast, are conversant only with the bights of the bays of poesy, or steer for the public ports of entry, and go into the dry docks of science, where they merely refit for this world, and no natural currents concur to individualize them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
