-One variation has "16-Bit" printed on top, one has the Sega logo (made by Simba's), and one has nothing (made by Dongguan Dewei Electronic). One has an RF port, while the other does not. There are three box types (and another with just a spelling fix), the later, more common two seemingly correlating with the console-on-a-chip version and having Pokémon pictures on the side for some reason.
