so I wasn't in any dire need for a new

When the Gameboy Color was released the insane need of appropiate ligth became an issue but this new model is really what gamers asked for since its a fold up its the smallest and easiest to carry around and it also protects the screen's delicate layer of plastic because as with all previous portable system scratch the scree enough the games are unplayable

By including a backlight, they erase the need for people who have trouble with lighting to buy afterburners or other lighting devices.

For those of you complaining that you need to get another gameboy and all that, no need to complain
