Yeah. Those are pretty sweet. GameBoy Lights were only released in Japan, unfortunately. They're pretty much a GameBoy Pocket with a backlight so they will only play the B&W titles. They used to sell for some good $$$ but since the SP was released the demand / interest for them has drastically fallen. I'd still like to pick one up one of these days though.

I NEVER knew they made these before. Too bad it was Japan-only. I was TICKED because my GBA, and both GBs didnt have a backlight.

[AtariAger]

Yeah...I was unaware of these systems also...Did they ever make a backlit Gameboy Color?

I don't think so.

 

Here's a good page that shows many (all???) of the numerous GameBoy variations that have been released over the years :

There are some pretty sweet Game Boys on that page. I do remember seeing a special Gameboy Advance (not an SP) that was lit before the SP came out. It was from Japan and the store that had it wanted $$$ for it.

Either it was shrewd marketing on Nintendo's part to keep the Gameboy Light domestic (i.e., in Japan) or just plain lame.

Keep in mind those Gameboy Light uses Indiglo and that only lasts so long before it becomes dimmer permantly. Something like 600-700 hours before it's not useable.

Bummer...Hope mine is not DOA!!!

[NintendoDieScreaming]

I seem to remember these being at a Toys R Us some long time ago....

 

I remember the box not being in English, so chances are that acutally WAS what I saw, like I care, though .

 

The only Nintendo system I ever owned (EVER.) was a Limited Edition Ice-Blue GameBoy Pocket. However, it has been long and gone since .

[thx1138]

I want one!

 

 

When I bought my GBA, I was so excited. I got it home, excitment faded to disappointment. My eyes, damn, my eyes, they hurt - I can't see the damn games!!!

 

Took it back to the store,(who offered no quiblle refunds) for a full refund within hours.

 

Never had the money for a GBA SP since then.

[sega saturn x]

They why would you buy that? Factor is pretty high since the gb sp is better.

[AtariDude]

I sold my GBA once the GBA SP came out. The system was such a problem unless I was in a well lit room. Don't have that problem with my SP.

 

I was not aware that Nintendo has a light version of its original Gameboy. Too bad that it gets dim after 700 hours of use.

[donkeykong1]

That would be cool to add to my collection.

Don't think that has all, since I remember a nearby JCPenny had a TOmmy Hilfiger GBC a while back. I saw one a while later at a used games store for $15, and now I wish I got it, since I can see it being worth something in the uture
