Translucent devices & gaming accessories like the ForzaHorizon 5 Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller continue to prove that gamers are still intrigued by the technology & space inside their consoles. Here's how it all began (From 2021)
The Advance came in a couple of translucent flavors, including “glacier” and pink. The see-through shell gave gamers a feeling of technical and aesthetic control over their systems, Custodio says, as though they could divine how all those little nodes and transistors renderedThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords
Translucency was an aesthetic, not an invitation. But gamers invited themselves anyway. They became frustrated, Custodio says, that the Advance’s screen wasn’t backlit. If you wanted to play at night under the covers, you needed a separate LED module that hung over the console like a curlicue streetlight. So, in the mid-2000s, modders began transplanting backlights from later Game Boys into the Advance.
For the Nintendo Switch, the sort of translucency made popular by the Game Boy is only available as a mod. A company called ExtremeRate makes nine different translucent shell colors and sells about 800 sets a month. Its owner, Ray Zhu, says they’d sell more, but installation is tough. It’s not as easy as taking a small screwdriver to the hardware. The console’s innards are finicky and delicate, and one misstep can destroy them. Fully translucent tech is no longer in vogue.
These stories aren’t about the player. They aren’t about the time you Googled a Game Boy Advance user’s manual to taxonomize a circuit board, or about the time you tried to pry open the back shell with a Phillips head. They are about the product, told through the product, to bring us closer to the product—beautiful but sacrosanct.For the most part, though, the future seems to be another black box.
