And if LEGO offered in store the legendary Game Boy console of our childhood?
For now, the project is not official, but the work of Australian (and LEGO expert) Nick Lever.
The Game Boy console of your childhood in LEGO mode
Nick Lever, finalist of the Lego Masters in Australia, recently published a video of his new creation which should crack fans of retrogaming. Indeed, the young Australian has recreated from LEGO bricks the most emblematic of the portable consoles of the 90s: your faithful Game Boy.
In total, the creation made by Nick Lever required a total of 364 LEGO pieces, including 115 unique pieces, most of which are available for sale.
Along with the console, some cartridges have also been reproduced in LEGO sauce, and it is even possible to clip them into the port provided for this purpose. Connoisseurs will have recognized Pokemon Red And Blue, Tetris And Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Note that the directional cross is also clickable.
An unofficial project… yet?
” This build is the result of a months-long obsession with creating the ultimate LEGO model of my beloved Game Boy console. I’m very proud of this model, and I’m happy to share it with you “, explains the creator on his YouTube page. Not without humour, Nick Lever asks Nintendo not to take him to court, stating: ” Anyway, I don’t have any money. »
For those who wish to reproduce this LEGO Game Boy console, all the instructions can be found freely on the ReBrickable site.
Nick Lever’s next goal is again for Nintendo’s portable console, but this time he wants to recreate the model that survived a bombing during the Gulf War.
It remains to be seen whether LEGO will one day market a set dedicated to the small portable Nintendo console of our childhood. It’s not impossible when you know that LEGO already markets a complete set dedicated to the NES, without forgetting of course the LEGO range. Super Mario.
