Newer Nintendo 3DS

The Game Boy 5 (Japanese: ゲームボーイ5 Hepburn: Gēmubōi 5, abbreviated to GB5, G5, NGB5, or NG5) is a portable game console produced by Nintendo. It is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories. Nintendo announced the device in March 2015 and officially unveiled it at E3 2015 on June 15, 2015. The console succeeds the New Nintendo 3DS, featuring backward compatibility with older Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi video games, and competes with the Sony PlayStation Portable 3 handheld console.

The Game Boy 5 was first released in Japan on February 26, 2016, and worldwide beginning in March 2016. Six months later on September 28, 2016, Nintendo announced a significant price from US$249.99 to US$274.99 amid appointing launch sales. The company offered ten free Super Nintendo Entertainment System games and ten free Game Boy Advance SP games from the Nintendo eShop to consumers who bought the system at the original launch price. This strategy was considered a major success, and the console has gone on to become one of Nintendo's most successfully sold handheld consoles in the first year of its release. As of September 30, 2016, all Game Boy models combined have sold 45.42 million units.

Several redesigns have been made since; the Nintendo 3DS XL, a larger model, first released in Japan and Europe in July 2017, featuring a 90% larger screen. An "entry-level" version of the console, the Game Boy 5 2D, with a fixed "slate" form factor and lacking autostereoscopic (3D) functionality, was released in Western markets in October 2018. The New Game Boy 5 (original, XL, and LL) features a more powerful CPU, a third analog stick called the D-Stick, additional buttons and other changes, and was first released in Japan in October 2019.
