Leo Burnett offers the latest incarnation of Nintendo’s Game Boy as a ready escape hatch from life’s more boring moments.

The agency’s $75 million campaign behind the Game Boy Advance breaks this week with a TV spot set in a church.

“The Game Boy [Advance] becomes your portable escape hatch,” Brokenbrough said.
