Auctions are treasure troves for a few of the coolest objects discovered from gaming previous and the newest loot to drop is a nifty blast from the previous Game Boy Advance prototype system.
The Game Boy Advance started its journey into our hearts again in 2001 following the beloved Game Boy Color. This handheld featured peripherals that have been forward of its time, funky contemporary (I mentioned it) colour decisions, and a snug design. While the Advance made it onto cabinets again in 2001, the 12 months prior was rife with concepts and pleasure for this launch, together with a particular model of the Advance proven off in the course of the 200 Nintendo Spaceworld occasion.
This model of the GBA showcases a distinct colour palette for the system itself along with differing start-up sounds for when the hand held activates.

While the ultimate product ended up being totally different from what we noticed in the course of the showcase, the prototypes did exist at one time. Unfortunately, they appeared to vanish from all actuality when the ultimate model launched to the world. At least till one popped up throughout a latest public sale.
A latest public sale held by Yahoo Japan had a plethora of nostaligic gaming memorabilia for followers to take a look at, amongst them being the Spaceworld prototype of the favored Game Boy Advance. Even extra wild is that the customer bought this piece of gaming historical past for $700. That could sound like lot, however for this? This value may have skyrocketed into the 1000’s.
Appparently, we must be going to extra auctions.
