Game Boy Color - Limited Pokemon Edition - Yellow

Grat price, great condition, plays well, thanks a lot!

I loved this gameboy, def felt like a kid playing it again. The game worked perfectly on it, couldn’t have been a better purchase. Well worth the money

The first thing you need to know is that the physical color of this console does not matter unless you have a preference. All that matters is the condition of whatever console you are considering to order. Make sure you check the product description and probably in addition contact the seller to inquire as to whether you are getting a console that is in the claimed condition.Now, about the Nintendo Gameboy Color, it is not backlit so you have to have light when playing. Also many of the games have internal batteries that need to be replaced every few years in order for the game to save your progress (such as on Pokémon or a similar game). Also to replace the batteries of these games you need a very unique screwdriver but there's about 200 different offers for them on amazon alone. I'm not saying this purchase is not worthwhile, I personally think the Nintendo Gameboy Color is amazing despite my fondness for more modern devices such as my 3ds. Because it is not backlit, it will take some getting used to if you are used to playing a more modern Nintendo system, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. The colors are not as prominent as in any old ads you would find, but there are basic tones. It is very flat and two-dimensional to me, but I had been playing a 3ds for a few months before purchasing mine so it may just be that I've grown accustomed to a three-dimensional screen.The batteries, depending on the brand of course, do not get used up very fast on account that the console is not backlit, and the console requires only two AA's.

I was reading that a lot of people are going back to the more traditional handheld systems, ie early Gameboy models, and I remembered how much I loved my own. I haven't been able to put it down since it arrived! I got mine used, which is definitely the way to go. Yes, most of the used Gameboys have minor wear and tear, but to pay for a brand new one.. well you're just wasting your money. Some of the reviews about the Berry color said they thought it would be more red - I'm actually surprised it's not more pink! I thought it would be closer to the item's image color on this listing, but when mine arrived, it was actually a shade or two darker. So if you want a bold red color, I'm afraid this will be close but no cigar. On the other hand, if you're like me, and enjoy pink, then go for it!For those who've never owned a Gameboy Color before, it doesn't have the best screen resolution, or that large of a color palette. It was made in 1998, so a lot of consoles nowadays have more resolution and a much more varied color scheme. It is a little gem of the past and shouldn't be berated for "outdated" things that we take for granted. The system runs on two AA batteries that seem to last forever. Volume goes up to a reasonable level, and there is a headphone jack on the bottom for those who like to use earbuds and such.Overall, I absolutely love this product. I would recommend buying a few games, definitely Pokemon, and for the classic gamer, Tetris and Super Mario. Nothing can replace a classic treasure like this, especially at a low price like some of the used ones.

It works. You cant beat retro.

It says like new but it’s in pretty bad shape,The volume sounds really low too. It’s that normal ? Also came dirty with dust. Plus the bottom directional button is not working!? Honestly I was expecting a better product. If we could replace it i will appreciate it or just a refund. I wouldn’t recommend it. The bad thing is that I gave this as a gift for my son birthday

There were no games. It was supposed to be two games.

first off i am still glad i bought this gameboy! i love it. However i wish it didnt come with so many scrathces and also it had left over sticker residue on the battery cover. It could have arrived in a better shape. also the volume knob might have a short because when i plug in my headphones into the system and i mess with the volume it fades from left to right ear with an annoying sound. Its a minor detail though. also the speaker is not very loud at all, like its super quite. not sure if its because of my batteries and i just need to replace them. I still love it thought! great color! feels great in your hands. off to go save Zelda!
