Fans could be treated to some nostalgia as Pokémon and Nintendo launch a miniature Game Boy-style jukebox that comes with 45 different cartridges containing tunes from the original games' soundtrack. Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary through the Pokémon Game Music Collection, which is available to buy from Pokémon Center.

It will be impossible to play games on the device since the palm-sized jukebox is a replica of the original Game Boy system from Nintendo. Thus, the buttons also don't hold any real significance, apart from adding to the aesthetic value. However, the cartridges, which also look scarily real, play original tunes once inserted.

The screen features a picture once the cartridge is inserted to offer users the feel of playing a video game while a Pokémon tune plays in the background. Notably, one cartridge can store only one song. The sound effects on the Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version were managed by Junichi Masuda, who stated that the priority was to ensure the audio in the cartridges matched the tunes on the original Game Boy. He said:

"You can now play all 45 songs from the games on this small player inspired by the Game Boy system. We took particular care to make the audio sound just like Game Boy."

Although the jukebox plays a fixed set of 45 tunes, at $69.99, its value could appeal greatly to Game Boy and Pokémon fans.
