The Pokémon Company’s 30th anniversary release includes a mini Game Boy player featuring Red and Blue themed music

Alongside the reveal of Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, the Pokémon Company celebrated the series' 30th anniversary with a mini Game Boy that doubles as a music player, featuring cartridges that play original chiptune soundtracks from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.

During the Pokémon Presents livestream, the Pokémon Company revealed the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue Game Music Collection, featuring the Game Boy Juke Box, now available for purchase with 45 swappable cartridges.

This miniature Game Boy Juke Box is roughly one-third the size of the original handheld and comes in either red or blue. Each set includes 45 bright, colorful mini cartridges.

The miniature Game Boy Juke Box works by slotting in a soundtrack mini-cartridge, which then displays a static scene from either Pokémon Red or Pokémon Blue on the mini Game Boy’s faux dot-matrix display.

Each cartridge plays either a single soundtrack or sound effect. Fans of the first Pokémon game can enjoy the Title Screen theme, “Pallet Town,” “Professor Oak,” or the eerie Lavender Town theme. Other tracks from the original game include “Pewter City,” “Rocket Hideout,” Jigglypuff’s Song, and the Ending Theme.

Junichi Masuda, who composed and handled sound effects for the original Pokémon games, said, “We took particular care to make the audio sound just like Game Boy. I hope you enjoy listening while swapping out cartridges.”

As a result, the Game Boy Juke Box uses similarly tinny speakers to the original, aiming to faithfully replicate the sound quality of Nintendo’s first handheld. Like the original Game Boy, it runs on batteries, which you’ll need to buy separately.

The Game Boy Juke Box is priced at $69.99 in the U.S. and £59.99 in the UK. Pokémon fans can order it online via the official Pokémon Center store. To keep things fair and discourage scalpers, each unit is limited to one per customer.

The mini Game Boy replica music player is also reportedly appearing in physical Nintendo Stores, a treat for gamers lucky enough to visit. You may want to act quickly, as reports suggest this 30th-anniversary novelty item is selling out fast. If you are feeling particularly nostalgic, Amazon also has sellers offering refurbished copies of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue titles, albeit at a significant premium.
