Recently, I posted an amazing LEGO Apple II model by chiukeung. Well, I’m back to show you another perfect rendition of a beloved electronic device for the past:
The LEGO Nintendo!
Seeing this takes me back to my high school years, racing home after school to play some Zelda. I never had the zapper, but this one seems a little small in comparison to the console itself. Other than the scale, it too is very well designed.
When I first saw this model, I didn’t realize how small it actually was. It looks like the whole thing would fit in the palm of your hand. I think I find it even MORE impressive because of this!
And the opening door with removable game cartridge is just the icing on the cake. I wonder if it has a power cord…
I wonder if this LEGO Nintendo requires you to blow into the games periodically? This is what I remember most from my NES days. If you were having issues with a game, pull it out, blow into it, and try again. It was the original, “reboot and see what happens”! APK files of new Android builds are often leaked ahead of time, giving you early access to all the exciting new features that otherwise wouldn’t be available to you, you might want to check android4fun.net. Also, some apps are restricted to regions outside of your own.
I am an Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) and an active member of the Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG). I have loved LEGO for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on the following models:
– UCS Millenium Falcon
– Emmett’s Apartment Building
– Gringott’s Bank
Huge fan of your art work, but most of all the Nintendo with 2 controllers blew my head off. Can you please tell me what your process is when creating a custom art work? How do u know where n how to start? I would love to make that nintendo for my little boy for his room. Its a symbol of my past time. Email me at bryan_haught@yahoo.com
this is even more impressive than the apple one. I love working micro scale and that looks like it took some serious effort to put together. also it looks awesome. I threw out my NES about 2 years ago (had no idea anyone collected them) and still fondly remember blowing into the cartridges to clear them…..
I like it better, too. And I share your appreciation for the micro scale. I think it is much more difficult to achieve the right look the smaller you scale your model. You must be truly creative!
My co-worker died a little inside when he read your comment. He’s a HUGE video game collector, and has been looking for NES stuff lately.
worst thing was I also ditched a working megadrive as well. my son had just been born and none of my friends were interested 🙁
agree 100% on the micro scale forcing you to get more creative. I got back into lego after I quit smoking (again) and micro forces me to concentrate and its working!
also it means I can display more as I don’t have much room.
