Build A Boy Sign Up Page Goes Live on Crowd Supply

You Can Actually Play Games on Your LEGO Game Boy— Soon!

Remember that stunning (but non-functional) LEGO Nintendo Game Boy set released last year? Yeah, we all wanted to pop in a real Tetris cartridge and fire it up—not just stare at fake gameplay screenshots. Good news: Build A Boy, the brainchild of Natalie Cursio (aka Natalie the Nerd), is finally making waves.

After she reverse-engineered and retrofit a real Game Boy DMG motherboard into the LEGO shell, allowing full cartridge compatibility, fans have been begging for a public release. And now—the official Crowd Supply launch page is live, with a “Coming Soon” status and sign-up options for early access.

Here’s what to expect from the DIY kit (which doesn’t include the LEGO set itself):

  • Works with original Game Boy & Game Boy Color games (not Advance carts)
  • Optional link port for multiplayer, plus display-out capability
  • Modern touch: 2.73″ backlit screen, USB-C charging, durable tactile buttons
  • Open-source potential—schematics and software planned for GitHub

In short: the dream of a playable, nostalgic-yet-upgraded LEGO Game Boy is no longer just a fan project—it’s inching toward reality. Keep your eyes on Crowd Supply
 and maybe start saving now. đŸ§±đŸŽź
