Game Boy Advance SP – Transparent Black Edition
Restored in Brisbane

Game Boy Advance SP – Transparent Black Edition

Smoke-tinted transparent plastic reveals the genuine Nintendo hardware beneath this SP.

What makes it different

  • IPS V5 backlit screen with adjustable brightness.
  • Original Nintendo mainboard, cleaned and tested.
  • Restored design: Transparent black shell with visible internals.
  • 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 Transparent Black Edition out there.

In the box

  • Game Boy Advance SP – Transparent Black 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.

Love the console. Clear/glossy shells pick up fingerprints pretty easy. Wipe and it's mint again.
