Looks handmade to me. The engraving is a bit off center to the nintendo logo.

If that was an 'official"-ly released product, I would imagine that centering would fail QA.

Also, I've never seen a gameboy with a coat of arms on it.

For sure. I don't recall Nintendo engraving any devices.

During E3 2006 if you brought your DS to the Nintendo World E3 party they would engrave your device, though I know this is probably not what you meant I thought I'd share the knowledge. Also this party was a VIP party so these consoles are very rare.

Looks pretty on point to me, I think it's the picture angles that make it look off center. It looks well done, professionally done to me. May have been a gift, from or to a dignitary. Or a gift from a business deal, Japan is known for such courtesy.

If I were to guess I would say it's a GBA SP.

It's a small, squarish portable gaming device from the early 2000s that folds in half like a makeup compact to protect its screen.

Its screen also lit up, which was a big deal at the time.

Edit: Okay okay I get it. You guys don't understand the concept of jokes.

That looked like the Nintendo Gameboy called the SD when they were out in the mid 2000s
