Why
There’s no units produced with a source and not enough listings. We don’t make things up.How to tell them apart
Solid (not translucent) purple shell; product code AGB-S-VTA(JPN). The same colour was sold abroad as 'Indigo', so a loose unit cannot be told from an Indigo by the shell alone. Check the region/serial label on the back.
Details from sources
One of three Japanese launch colours. JP RRP 9,800 yen at launch (GAME Watch 2001-01-16); Nintendo cut the RRP to 8,800 yen from 2002-02-01 (GAME Watch 2002-01-28). gbhwdb labels JP units of this colour 'Indigo'.
