Nintendo Game Boy Pocket (Blue) – Complete in Box – Tested Working

About this deal

The Game Boy Pocket is the first redesigned version of the original Game Boy, released in 1996 in a smaller and lighter form factor. A notable improvement over the original is its true black-and-white display with reduced sprite blurring, replacing the green-tinted screen of the older model. It weighs just 148g with batteries and runs on two AAA batteries rather than the four AAs required by the original, providing roughly ten hours of gameplay. The console was available in several colours, including blue. The Game Boy Pocket is compatible with the same games as the original Game Boy, making it a solid entry point into a library of over 1,000 titles. Compared to the chunky, brick-like original, the Game Boy Pocket was truly pocket-sized and made the platform even more portable than before. This complete-in-box example is a collector-friendly find, as finding classic handhelds in great boxed condition is not always easy, and more often than not only the console itself survives.
