I thought these were a Japan exclusive, and every box I can find a picture of online is in Japanese so I'm a little curious if they were released anywhere else.. Anybody have any info? Thanks.

From the game boy player wiki article, only Japan is referenced, "Japanese hardware manufacturer Hori created for the Japanese market a special digital-only controller designed for use with the Game Boy Player." So I'm curious if there's also been a PAL release or the rarity of this NA one. Anyway the controller is excellent, feels just like the SNES. The buttons have a satisfying click to them, and the overall design is durable and fits well into your hands. Highly recommended if you have a game boy player! Planning to do a review on it in the future, the experience of the GBA shifts into a continuation of the SNES. Edited by TNT737373, Feb 27 2012, 05:48 PM.
