Why
There’s no units produced with a source and not enough listings. We don’t make things up.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.

Dark grey 'Graphite' shell, greyer/lighter than Onyx. AGS-101 tells: label on the underside reads AGS-101; backlit screen is fully black when off; the light button switches between two brightness levels (no off setting). North American AGS-101 boxes carry the text 'Now with a BRIGHTER backlit screen!'.
