The Nintendo Game Boy was in the hands of many children back in the 90s. In sweet nostalgia, imgur user 'kungfufruitcup' posted a giant wooden Game Boy that would encapsulate the lives of the 90s geek- when being a geek wasn't a trend.
The wooden depiction of Nintendo's classic hand-held showcases several prominent features that can be found in any old Game Boy. It has all the buttons and switches of the Game Boy and even has an engraved Pokémon game title, which was a mandatory game for kids to have that owned a Game Boy. The Nintendo Game Boy construct measures 24"H x 14"W x 5"D to showcase the grand epic influence the Nintendo hand-held had back in the 90s.
