Game Boy Advance SP NES Limited Edition

Back on June 7, 2004 Nintendo released a very cool Game Boy Advance SP: The Game Boy Advance SP NES Edition.
I recently acquired one of these classic pieces of gaming history for my Nintendo collection. This thing is awesome! From the official product description:
Game Boy Advance SP is going retro. The new Game Boy Advance SP looks like an itty bitty NES console.
This new Game Boy Advance SP has the same guts and everything as a regular one, but its casing looks just like the NES!
The GameBoy Advance SP NES Edition is designed to look like a classic NES controller. Below are a couple pictures that I took this morning:
Here’s another picture with classic Nintendo Donkey Kong playing:
This is one of my prized pieces in my entire Nintendo collection. My top collection piece is my Gold Nintendo 64. I’ll post pictures of that console down the road.

Wow! That thing is cool looking. You seem to have all sorts of interesting and fun gaming stuff. Your house must me a gamers paradise.
I’m looking forward to seeing pictures of your Gold Nintendo 64. Wasn’t that a Toys R Us exclusive?
Indeed, I do have all kinds of gaming systems and memorabilia around my place. I could probably do a few hundred posts alone just on gaming “stuff”.
Some of the things I have include t-shirts, counter displays, wall hangings, Mario telephone (it really works), stuffed plush toys, a cool Nintendo toy box, posters, pens, pencils, key chains, etc.
At some point all the gaming stuff I have will be making guess appearances on the site, so be sure to bookmark us and add the site to your RSS feed reader.

My roommate has one of those. I’ve been using it to play Link’s Awakening for the first time in years.
@Luke: That’s cool. Until I got mine, I had never seen an NES version of the GBA. I know it’s just the normal Game Boy Advance SP hardware, but they look so cool… and I really like the red buttons too.
Link’s Awakening… I have that game too and haven’t played it in quite sometime. Hmm… maybe a perfect game for someone to review?
I have been searching everywhere for one. Where can I get one and are you selling yours?
@Dennis: I’ve seen people selling them on eBay, so check there and no, I am not selling mine. It’s a keeper
@Sean you’re a lucky guy. I’ve got the games but not the console. What do you think about getting a new SP and getting an NES skin to go with it?
@Dennis: Thanks. I do feel pretty lucky
As for getting a skin for an original SP, that would only be part of it. Not only does it have the controller overlay, it has red buttons, the bottom of the system is dark grey and the top cover has a graphic making it look like a real NES.
Honestly, the classic version has the exact same hardware as an original SP, so do trick one out would seem like a lot of time and money. It would be quicker and cheaper to just buy one off eBay or track one down at a used game shop.
Guys, I have one of these which I bought in the UK. It is gorgeous, but I do not use it as I have a NDS now. It is still boxed and in perfect condition. I’m open to offers if anyone is interested in buying it. Hook me up billygrifter at gmail dot com. I’m happy to send u some pix.
