    No, there wasn't a particular 2nd edition. The Famicom GBM was only released as a set of a GBM and a "controller I"-faceplate for the Gameboy.

    But since the original Famicom featured two very different looking controllers, Nintendo made a GBM faceplate seperately to accompany the GBM Famicom LE. The player2-faceplate was never sold with a GameBoy though, it was only available as an exclusive Club Nintendo item in Japan.

    GameBoy Micro equipped with both faceplates:

    Box of the 2nd faceplate:

    At one time ebay was flooded with them but now they don't show up that often. Keep serching regularly & you might just spot one.

    Believe it or not, I bought mine (not the faceplate) new in store in Doha, Qatar while I was there on a project for Shell.

    IF anyone ever goes there it's a little shop on the top floor of The Centre just across from Applebee's. They have a lot of interesting stuff lying around, I walked out with new in box, GBSP, DS and the GMB.

    Mind you unless you are a westerner or a local it's pretty hard to get in if you are Asian looking. I am not being discriminate but the front door guards are.

    I have one of those, they were sold in the usa without a special box or anything it was just one of the color out there.

    The "II" faceplace is awesome, such a subtle change yet very cool.
