As you\u2019ll see in the many images below, this Game Boy doesn\u2019t rely on miniature hats<\/a> for its iconic fuchsia A and B buttons \u2014 Lego has seemingly created pitch-perfect buttons that appear to recess into the frame. The console\u2019s curves are also captured remarkably well!<\/p>\n

And unless I\u2019m very much mistaken, it comes with printed tiles rather than sticker labels to help replicate the Game Boy\u2019s many, many iconic labels for its buttons, volume dial, on-off switch, \u201cDot Matrix With Stereo Sound\u201d highlight, as well as larger features like the Game Boy\u2019s mono speaker grille, battery compartment latch, and serial number around back that have proven difficult to emulate in bricks. (That serial number has an easter egg, by the way.)<\/p>\n

But perhaps best of all, this Lego Game Boy can show off actual scenes from the classic games using swappable lenticular lenses that\u2019ll show you different images when viewed from different angles. You can pop in a brick-built cartridge of The Legend of Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening or Super Mario Land, and \u201cwatch\u201d the classic Nintendo logo drop as you rotate the screen downwards (you\u2019ll have to imagine the Game Boy\u2019s da-DING beep<\/a>). Or, pop in a different lenticular lens to see Link cozy up to Marin on the beach in Awakening\u2019s most bittersweet scene:<\/p>\n

I built Nick Lever\u2019s fan-designed Lego Game Boy myself<\/a>, and have the real deal that plays actual cartridges too, but I\u2019m going to be mighty tempted to pick up the official Lego one as well. If those buttons move when you push them, I doubt I\u2019ll resist! Do wish it came with Tetris, too, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As you\u2019ll see in the many images below, this Game Boy doesn\u2019t rely on miniature hats for its…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":87576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[705,393,50,394,158,25249,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-87575","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-gaming","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-nintendo","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-toys","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114906004476237871","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
