Game Boy Advance SP - Charmander Edition
Restored in Brisbane

Game Boy Advance SP – Charmander Edition

A red shell and Charmander artwork celebrate the starter that launched so many first journeys.

What makes it different

  • IPS V5 backlit screen with adjustable brightness.
  • Original Nintendo mainboard, cleaned and tested.
  • Restored design: Charmander-themed red housing and custom artwork.
  • 850mAh rechargeable battery — roughly 4-5 hours of play per charge.

Choose your charging port

Select Standard Charging for the original-style port, or USB-C Fast Charging for a modern cable. Choose your option above before adding the console to your cart.

Make it yours

Every console ships fully restored and ready to play. These upgrades are optional, not required — pick them only if they matter to you.

  • Tactile Buttons: replaces the stock membrane pads with a crisper, more responsive click — noticeable if you've felt a well-worn original SP go soft over time.
  • Audio Amp Boost: a louder, clearer built-in speaker, for anyone who plays without headphones.
  • Custom Button Colour: a purely cosmetic swap so your build matches your shell, or stands out from every other Charmander Edition out there.

In the box

  • Game Boy Advance SP – Charmander Edition with IPS V5 screen
  • Rechargeable battery, pre-installed

Console only; games are not included. Plays original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges.

Shipping and support

Each console is rebuilt and tested by hand in Brisbane. Free tracked shipping within Australia is included. Our work and fitted parts carry a 100-day warranty from delivery. Eligible unused consoles can be returned within 30 days for store credit or exchange. Read the full returns and warranty policy.

Charging Type

USB-C Fast Charging (Recommended), Standard Charging (Original)

Customers praised the IPS V5 screen upgrade, calling it "bright" and noting colours "pop" with "no dead pixels." The rechargeable battery "holds strong" and "lasts ages." Shell quality is "premium" with detailed Charmander artwork, though the glossy finish "attracts fingerprints" easily. Buttons are "crisp" and "responsive," plays GB/GBC/GBA games flawlessly.

  • IPS screen upgrade makes FireRed pop. Battery lasts ages too. Stoked!
  • This V5 panel is night and day. Speakers are fine too.
  • IPS makes old games look fresh. Battery charges fast. 10/10!
