Lego fans keep building Nintendo's Game Boy set wrong
Polygon••technology
Key Points:
- It has been around 35 years since Nintendo released the original Game Boy, leading many younger fans to forget its exact design, as highlighted by recent social media posts and Lego packaging.
- The Lego Game Boy set, released late last year with 421 pieces, includes two non-playable cartridges designed to mimic the offset indent of the original Game Boy game cartridges.
- Many people unfamiliar with the original hardware mistakenly place the cartridge piece centrally rather than offset, prompting correction from longtime fans and Lego enthusiasts.
- Online communities have seen numerous discussions and PSAs emphasizing the correct cartridge assembly, with both nostalgic and new builders admitting to initial errors.
- The offset design was originally intended to make it easier to insert and remove cartridges from the Game
