Which handheld console received Metroid Fusion in 2002?

The handheld console that received Metroid Fusion in 2002 was the Game Boy Advance.

Nintendo released Metroid Fusion in North America on November 18, 2002, making it the fourth main installment in the series. It returned Samus Aran to side-scrolling exploration after the long gap following Super Metroid and paired its release with the new 3D adventure Metroid Prime on GameCube.

Fusion follows Samus as she investigates an outbreak of X parasites on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station. The infection changes her suit and gives her the distinctive Fusion Suit, while the game’s mission-based structure guides her through sectors more directly than the open-ended Super Metroid.

Players sometimes confuse the original hardware with later re-releases. Fusion was also distributed through the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program, Wii U Virtual Console and Nintendo Classics, but those are later services; its original 2002 platform was the Game Boy Advance.
