In this video I review the Nintendo Game Boy Light, one of the rarest Game Boys of all time. The Game Boy Light was released in 1998 just in Japan and went on to sell only a few thousand units before being replaced by it’s successor the Game Boy Color which bowed only a few months later. The Game Boy Light was unique in the fact that it has a backlit screen allowing you to play Game Boy games in the dark or in places with less than optimal lighting.
Today the Game Boy Light is quite difficult to find outside of Japan and any working model will be worthy many many times more than what a comparable Game Boy Pocket is valued at today.

3:06 that's what she said 😛
@aqwTVpriestNender Its actually pretty fun once you get farther into it.
@TheMrminimario Yes, you can connect any Gameboys together as long as they have a compatible game.
If I got a gameboy light with 9/10 condition, how much can I sell it?
i just got a silver one in peak condition, for only $106 bux
Where did you get that GBL??
Well not better graphic capabilities, just a better understanding of the hand held through prior experience, basically pokemon silver and gold could run on a original gameboy, just without color, not saying that it does, but in theory it could
You said there wasn't a Gameboy that had a backlight until the GBA SP, but that's actually not entirely correct. The GBA SP backlit model wasn't released until 2005, and the original Nintendo DS was released in 2004. So technically the DS is the second handheld with the backlight next to the GB Light.
Well the 2005 one not the 2003 one lol XD
It also had a far better framerate thanks to a faster processor and more RAM.
I hear a Gameboy color can't have a backlight modded to it, only a frontlight.
i bought a gameboy sp from ebay vienna-autstria will it be in english?
I hated it to..then I found out I was stupid.
If anyone is selling one I'm ready to buy. Email me at, [email protected]
actually the motion blur with fast movement & framerate in the gameboys before the color wasn't a cpu or ram but in the lcd controller itself the DMG/pocket lcd controller had a slower refresh rate than its sync rate i think causing a slower frame rate or motion blur with fast movements
do a review of all off your game boy games
OMG. I saw this at a flee market for 3 dollars!!. I thought it was a fake. Until I saw this video….
I never knew that the Gameboy Light was so rare and that it was sold only in Japan. I have a fairly beaten GB Light that I've had since it was released (I'm not from Japan). It's been through quite a bit to be at the state it is now but I still play original Gameboy games on it from time to time.
I remember telling my friends about the gameboy light back in elementary school, and they thought I was making it up, and I got laughed at for being a liar :c
it would be the language of the game itself. the only thing you should notice is the writing on the decals and the startup logo
lucky youuuu
this is the only remaining gb to complete my collection, but i won't pay 200 bucks for a gb!!
i know this is a old video, but IM SUBSCRIBING!
Thanks, i'll give a try
What is the difference between frontlight and backlight?
TheZeldaMaster225 were do u live
the backlight looks better and is much brighter, frontlights are less high quality
I wanted to get the gameboy light but i couldn't find it on amazon so i got the gameboy colour instead
Hey I have pokemon yellow too but the save battery is dead
would eBay be good for the game boy color? please answer.
