The Lego Game Boy

Lego is coming out with a near 1:1 replica of Nintendo’s iconic Game Boy handheld video game system. It’s not playable, but you can insert & remove Lego game cartridges and use different lenticular screens to pretend. Here’s a short video showing how it “works”:

You can preorder the kit from Amazon; the price is $60, which is only $30 less than the actual Game Boy cost when it was released.¹

I still have my original Game Boy from 1989 — it’s sitting on a table near where I’m typing this. I played so so much Tetris on that thing… (via moss & fog)

1. Although $90 in 1989 is $235 in 2025 dollars, which is right around what the Playdate handheld costs.↩
