The Game Boy Advance SP (SP stands for "Special") is a handheld game console developed and marketed by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on February 14, 2003, and in other regions in March. The SP is an upgraded version of the Game Boy Advance with a more compact clamshell design. The SP was the first Game Boy device with a rechargeable battery, and the first widely released model with an integrated screen light, starting with front lighting and later transitioning to backlighting. The light made it easier to play in low-light conditions than its predecessors, which relied on reflective screens. It was followed by the Game Boy Micro in 2005.

How to tell them apart

Pink shell; box front shows a flower pattern with only small pictures of the SP on the sides. AGS-001 tells: label on the underside reads AGS-001; frontlit screen looks light grey when switched off; small button between the hinges toggles the front light on/off (sun icon).
