Nintendo Game Boy Game Man
Sure, the Nintendo Game Boy may be the third best-selling game console of all time, but sometimes, you just want a bigger version of it, and that’s where Game Man comes in. This isn’t an officially licensed Nintendo product, but rather a homemade creation that features a 3D-printed case, a 5.6-inch (640 x 480) display, audio video output and a Famicom motherboard. However, if you want to play more than just Nintendo games, there’s room for a Raspberry Pi computer in the case too.



Despite its size, you can also use smaller 3D printers to make this using a special “splitup” file set. Unfortunately, none of the original Game Boy accessories work on the Game Man, including Game Genie, Super Game Boy, Handy Boy, Flip Light, and camera / printer. If you’re technically inclined, all of the 3D printer file have been provided free of charge. More information here.

The cartridge slot needs to be unsoldered from the PCB and connected using ribbon cables. A basic understanding of electronics is needed to build this. Please don’t bombard me with simple questions on how to wire a potentiometer or plug,” said its creator.
