Game Boy made from LEGO: Nostalgia to build yourself
31.7.2025
Translation: machine translated
LEGO launches the classic Game Boy as a building set. The version made of clamp bricks is aimed at adult fans of the 90s video game era. Sales start on 1 October 2025.
A few years ago, there was a fan guide for building a Game Boy from LEGO, albeit without official support. What started as a fan project back then is now official from LEGO
Buttons, module slot and moving screen
The LEGO version is clearly based on the design of the original. The directional pad, A and B buttons and volume and contrast controls are visually modelled on the original, but without electronic functions. Everything remains manual.
Two modular game modules are included in the set: «Super Mario Land» and «The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening». The screen contains a lenticular element that shows a simple animation when moved. You know, one of those wiggly images that creates a 3D effect.
There are two stands for the presentation, one for the Game Boy and one for the game module. Alternatively, the modules can also be inserted into the device.
New bricks for the classic
LEGO has opted for Light Bluish Gray for the colour scheme. The colour is slightly darker than the original, which goes well with the slightly yellowed look of many old sets. New parts have been specially developed for this set, including round buttons and a special 3×3 slope for the speaker opening.
A little extra: the screen is slightly larger than on the real Game Boy. This makes the simple pixel animation look a little clearer without changing the design too much.
From home consoles to handhelds
The set deliberately dispenses with technical gimmicks. Instead, the focus is on the construction process and the classic design. A quiet project for anyone looking for a retro feel without electricity.
