This gameboy color has had its screen upgraded with a new OLED touch screen that is bigger than the original gameboy color. The shell and buttons are also new, and the logo lights up and changes colors. To change the brightness of the screen or logo, tap the screen and hold for a few seconds, and change the brightness or color in the pop-up menu. The game is not included. It is for demonstration purposes only. Any questions you may have feel free to ask =)
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Nintendo Purple Gameboy Color Console OLED Touch Screen GBC Game Boy using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Nintendo's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent.
