Happy Pokémon Day! One of the more surprising announcements during today’s annual Pokémon Presents was a brand-new product called Pokémon Jukebox. This tiny MP3-style device is shaped like a Game Boy and plays all 45 tracks from the original Game Boy release of Pokémon Red and Blue (Red and Green in Japan).
But it’s not as simple as just pressing play. Each of the 45 tracks comes loaded onto its own mini cartridge that you physically insert into the device. Yes, you read that right. Forty-five unique cartridges are bundled with the player, each featuring new artwork that displays on the mock Game Boy screen.
There’s no word yet on US pricing, but the Japanese listing has it at just under $64 USD. Keep your eyes on the Pokémon Center US website as orders are expected to go live shortly. Stay tuned!
