Quick facts
- The Ginpika Game Boy is a rare Japanese promotional variant of the original Nintendo Game Boy released in 1996.
- It was distributed as a prize through a Kirby-themed lottery campaign organized and promoted in the Japanese children’s magazine Shogaku Ichinensei.
- Winners received a special Game Boy featuring a distinctive chrome-like “Ginpika” finish, a name derived from Japanese words meaning “silver” and “shiny.” These consoles were never sold commercially and were only available through this promotion.
