The serial numbers on the back and bottom of the Game Boy System and Nintendo GameCube are used to verify the system’s serial number. This can be helpful if you’re trying to buy or sell a Gameboy, or if you just want to know how old your device is. Now that you know how to read the serial number on a Gameboy, you can use this information to help you date the device. The factory code is different for each Gameboy, and represents where the device was assembled. The code for Japan is “JA,” and the code for the United States is “US.” The last two characters in the serial number are the factory code.
The next two characters in the serial number represent the country code.
For example, if the serial number is “01010101,” the Gameboy was manufactured on January 1st, 2001. The next two characters represent the month, and the last four characters represent the day. The first two characters of the serial number represent the year the Gameboy was manufactured. The characters represent different information about the Gameboy, such as when it was manufactured and where. To read the serial number, start from the left and read the characters one by one until you reach the end. The serial number is usually printed in white or silver lettering, and is eight characters long. I'm just curious, has anyone here rebought one of these consoles and successfully had it linked to their existing NNID / Nintendo Account? If I can do it with the 3DS I may be willing to rebuy the Wii U as well.If you want to read the serial number on a Gameboy, you’ll need to find the label on the back of the device. I'm going to call customer service when the lines open on Monday - obviously I don't have the old serial numbers but I'm hoping they will be able to see there has been no purchase activity on those consoles for my NNID and I'm able to verify my ID with them and somehow convince them to help. I have an email from Nintendo that suggests they can link a new console to an old account as long as you have the old serial number and the new serial number - and provided that you can give them some information to verify your account (last three purchases, card used on the account etc) - I guess they do something on the server side that the system transfer function would also do for you if you had both consoles. They were also partially linked to your console via your NNID and the console's serial number. These consoles come from a time when things were not fully linked to your Nintendo account. I bought a fair amount of digital content on both consoles.
I wiped both consoles and factory reset them before selling, but I didn't think to write down their serial numbers or anything. I sold my old 3DS and Wii U when saving to buy my first home.
