In 1989 Nintendo and designer Gunpei Yokoi released a gray brick with a green dot-matrix screen, four AA batteries and a copy of Tetris in the box. It went on to sell well over 100 million units together with its successors and became the console that started portable gaming as we know it, from Super Mario Land to the first Pokémon Red and Blue.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER
Each piece is built from a real pre-owned device, so light scratches or small signs of age may show. We think they are part of its story.
03 / From the workbench
Made by hand in Los Angeles.
Behind the glass is something you rarely get to see: the inside of a Game Boy that once lived in someone’s hands, backpack or living room. Our studio members spend hours on each piece, from disassembly and cleaning to designing the layout and producing the final frame, all by hand in Los Angeles. We grew up with these devices, and every build is our way of giving a beloved piece of gaming history a second life.
