The Game Boy Light.
Game Boy Light was an only-released-in-Japan Game Boy. Nintendo decided that United States consumers wanted "color, not light" so they came up with the Game Boy Color for America. The Light is about the same size as the Pocket and has a backlit screen for improved vision.
The Light used to be the rarest Game Boy variant outside of Japan at one time, but due to websites such as eBay, the console has become more widely available. It was the only handheld Nintendo produced with an independently lit (backlit or frontlit) screen until the release of the Game Boy Advance SP in 2003.
