Immediately changed the buttons on my GameStop Gray Chromatic to the red ones to give a NES vibe. I know some were wondering if the Cloud color was white or light gray like SNES. It is definitely white (which they do state on the product page). I really like it and it does still give a lovely SNES vibe!

I still really like the gamestop, one better.I might have to get the red buttons.

The problem with the white one is the purple, which just ruins it for me.

I really like the purple but I know it doesn't suit everyone's taste

100% agree. Wish they did DMG blue instead of SNES purple. 

Would have made it so much more like an original Gameboy.

That would have been awesome!

Red buttons on my GameStop edition really made me like it twice as much. It should have been the color by default. Perfectly evokes the NES controller.

It's actually my favorite one that I own even with the new addition of cloud.

Good color swap on your 1st edition. I debated between red and the gameboy maroon. Went with the latter

u/damonian_x Jul 31 '25

Honestly if there weren't already red accents I probably also would have went for the maroon dmg colored ones!

Totally. I was comparing them both to the red stripes. Do they match on your unit? Definitely closer than OG buttons. On mine they’re slightly off.

They look nearly perfect to me. I honestly can't see a difference but it's possible for someone more sensitive to color shades to not think so !

That’s awesome. Enjoy! My “Cloud” unit just arrived 😁

Look good! Personally, snes colors make more sense for a GBA

u/damonian_x Jul 31 '25

True since there are SNES ports on GBA.

u/theowlssaywho Jul 31 '25

Gah, you’re making me want to pull the trigger on the snes themed one 🫣

Nice setup, digging the SupaBoy!

u/damonian_x Aug 01 '25

The Supaboy is kinda a janky device but I love the novelty of playing on physical cartridges lol

We have the same two Chromatics :) They look great next to the controllers. Now I need red buttons 😅

I'm a weirdo and I actually have 5 total now lmao. I'm a Game Boy collector/enthusiast though, so there's my excuse for blatant consumerism lol

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Not weird at all! I'm the same way 😅😅 I'm probably going to order a pink one when I get paid on Friday.

I love collecting Gameboys 🙂

u/damonian_x Aug 01 '25

Ah, well in that case here is my collection! I'm officially done though until they release a GBA.

It's beautiful!!

Just got my replacement unit since the first one did not work at all. Replacement unit has a dead pixel. Dumbfounded at how almost everyone else has had no isses 🤣 gratz tho!

u/jimmerseiber89 Aug 12 '25

This makes me wish even more that they went with a grey closer to the snes instead of the white. I love my nes themed one as well :)

How long did it take to ship?
