This isometric platformer does not have you fighting evil with the usual assortment of weapons and devices, but it will have you playing outdoors.
The inbuilt sunlight sensor on the cartridge detects levels of sunlight, which determines not only the time of day you play, but also acts as ammo for your weapon.
Run out of sunlight, or play in the dark, and evil will have the upperhand.
Many elements to the sunlight can have an effect on how the game plays out.
For example, you can only replenish ammo during play by standing outside or, if indoors, under light from a window.
Sunlight batteries can be collected during play to store sunlight, so you can play at night.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2003.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
