Special Famicom Edition GBA Revealed

Posted by simoniker on from the potent-geek-toy dept.

Tim Grube writes "Gaming Horizon is running a story announcing that Nintendo of Japan has revealed a special edition GameBoy Advance SP to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Famicom/NES. A total of 1000 will be made and will not be available for sale. Instead, they will be given away as part of a lottery if you purchase certain GBA games." IGN Pocket has more information, including a good picture of the unit, which sports the original maroon and white Famicom colors.

  1. What does "Special Famicom Edition GBA" mean? by lightspawn · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Does it just have some kind of logo on it and has a different color, like the special edition pokemon etc. GBAs?

    Is it shaped differently? Like a Famicom, or a Famicom controller?

    Can it run Famicom games? Oh wait, all GBAs can do that.
