We have seen quite a lot of superior revamped consoles over time and one of the best of them go away us feeling barely heartbroken that we won’t get one in every of our personal. In the case of this absolutely useful LEGO Game Boy Advance SP, you possibly can think about our hearts nicely and actually shattered.
This challenge was taken on by YouTuber Retro Stash Repairs, who determined to present the good little GBA SP a model new lease of life, brick by brick (thanks, Kotaku). To be clear, this is not simply an ordinary model of the console with a bunch of LEGO items caught to the skin, it is a bespoke casing made solely out of LEGO, with the inside workings of the console added in.
In the above video, you possibly can see how the designer went about constructing the casing, slicing out the mandatory sections for buttons and putting in the display and unique motherboard (belief us, you will wish to stick round for the second that the model new display will get its protecting plastic peeled off the entrance).
It’s true, with all of these bricks, the SP’s clamshell design is that little bit chunkier, however we won’t deny simply how cool it appears to be like. And one of the best half? It really works! You can take a look at the above put up for a style of what the construct has to supply, however the full video reveals just a little extra of Super Mario World in motion, in addition to demonstrates how all the buttons work as meant.
It’s a becoming celebration of a superb console that simply reached its twentieth birthday. We at Nintendo Life lately acquired collectively to share our love for the GBA SP and you may take a look at a few of our tales down beneath.
