The package was bundled with the original Mobile Adapter GB itself, which was a blue cable that could be used to connect to Japanese mobile phones. Included with the Mobile Adapter GB is the Mobile Trainer (Japanese: '''{{tt|モバイルトレーナー|Mobairu Torēnā}}''' ''Mobile Trainer'') cartridge, that only boots up when the Mobile Adapter GB is connected to a compatible Japanese nobile phone. A special edition of the Mobile Adapter GB came packaged with {{smw|Mobile Golf}}, which was a spin-off to the {{smw|Mario Golf}} series used to test the Mobile Adapter GB. After the Mobile Adapter GB's release, different colored cables were sold separately which allows the player to connect to different types of phones, one of which was announced but never released.

The Mobile Adapter GB was first released with a recommended retail price of {{tt|¥5800|$71.25 as of Google's exchange rate from 2012-04-09 15:14 UTC}}, before a price cut to {{tt|¥3800|$46.68 as of Google's exchange rate from 2012-04-09 15:14 UTC}} from July 19, 2001.<ref>[http://maru-chang.com/hard/gb/english.htm Game Boy/Color hardware information]</ref> Despite its promises, the service was not much of a commercial success and closed down in December 14, 2002, probably due to its high price, the additional costs involved and a general unwillingness of players to connect their phones to play games. The closure of the Mobile System GB service makes it impossible for players to link to the server, however, it is still possible to link with friends provided that a {{wp|peer-to-peer}} network is used.
