    It costs almost the same as an Analogue Pocket and has way fewer features.

    The Last Game Boy You’ll Ever Buy

    No matter how repairable this thing is, I guarantee you that original Game Boys pretty much offer the same level of repairability. I bought all of my GBs (DMG01, GBC, GBA SP) in broken state and repaired them; it’s not that hard.

    For that price you can almost certainly find original hardware and have fun repairing it. That’s what iFixit should advocate for IMO.

    Edit: There’s a Logan Paul Edition… What?

        Same… If you know about his “trip” to Japan you know that he’s not exactly passionate about retro gaming either.

        I wonder why they chose him, of all people, as their brand ambassador. The rest of their marketing caters heavily towards people who grew up with the original Game Boys, i.e. people who are way to old to even know about this idiot.

    They did a good job. Although for the price you can get a refurbished sp but it’s neat what they did.
