A modder got the new Lego Game Boy to play real games

October 2, 2025

Forget the Nintendo Switch 2. Someone found a more creative way to play handheld Nintendo games in 2025.

As you may or may not have heard, Lego finally released its Nintendo Game Boy model kit based on the classic early 90’s handheld console this week. And it’s not like we’ve been patiently awaiting this release since July.

For $59.99, you can relive your childhood and maybe even share it with your own kids. That’s all well and good, but what if you could actually play Game Boy games on it? Well, it turns out someone has already done that, per IGN.

A modder who goes by Natalie the Nerd got the Lego Game Boy to run real Game Boy games. You can read about her efforts (including the nitty-gritty technical details) on her blog.

To be clear, this doesn’t seem like something just anyone can do at home. It involved 3D printing custom parts, and creating a special circuit board just to make the thing work. It’s clearly the work of a talented (and awesome) individual. She even managed to make it work without resorting to emulation; it’s the real deal, in other words.

She will apparently keep working on refining it and eventually release detailed plans for other folks, in case you feel like taking on a project.

If nothing else, that’s a pretty cool way to play Tetris.
