"The little music player is palm-sized and can be loaded up with 45 different cartridges, each featuring a different melody or sound effect from the original games' soundtrack. The device was announced by longtime series composer Junichi Masuda during today's anniversary Pokémon Presents livestream, where he said that special care has gone into the audio sounding like it did on the Game Boy."
"Each cartridge also features a screenshot from the games, so when you slide it into the device's display slot it looks like you're playing as well as listening. Put one of these next to last year's equally charming Lego Game Boy on a shelf and you've got two entirely non-playable replicas of the iconic handheld."
Pokémon celebrates its 30th anniversary with multiple nostalgic releases, including a Game Boy-shaped portable music player called the Pokémon Game Music Collection. The palm-sized device features 45 interchangeable cartridges, each containing different melodies and sound effects from the original games' soundtrack. Composer Junichi Masuda announced the device during the anniversary livestream, emphasizing that special attention was paid to authentic Game Boy audio quality. Each cartridge displays a screenshot from the games on the device's screen, creating a visual experience alongside the music. The jukebox is available for purchase from Pokémon Center, though US pricing remains unconfirmed.
