AS IS-Game Boy Pocket Console (MGB 001 / Gray) GameBoy JP GAME. 9000025591157

About this deal

The Nintendo Game Boy Pocket (MGB-001) is a lighter, smaller version of the original Game Boy, released in 1996. It plays the same software as the original Game Boy, and the screen was upgraded to a true black-and-white display, rather than the "pea soup" monochromatic display of the original. It runs on two AAA batteries as opposed to four AA batteries, giving roughly ten hours of gameplay. This listing is sold as-is, for parts or not working, and is a Japanese market unit in gray. It is aimed at retro gaming collectors, modders, or repair enthusiasts. The Pocket has a smaller link port, which requires an adapter to link with the older Game Boy. Common faults on units of this age include worn button contacts and screen issues, but the MGB-001 is widely regarded as one of the more mod-friendly handhelds, with shells, screens, and internal components all readily available as replacements.
