Manufacturer description
Authentic copy with fresh battery. See pictures for condition. The screw on the back has some of the plastic cut out around, but otherwise condition is solid.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Nintendo Pokemon Crystal Gameboy Color using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the games & cartridges category. Nintendo's games & cartridges lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for games & cartridges of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
