Die-Hard Nintendo Fan Marries the Nintendo DS and a Game Boy in the Most Incredible Manner

Nintendo has come up with amazing inventions ever since the gaming giant began making hardware and blockbuster titles for its series of consoles. Yes, the Switch is now the latest product, but there is still a craze among players for iconic devices like the GameBoy, SP, and the DS.

Taking the passion for these popular products even further, one player recently revealed a very rare, hybrid crossover of a Nintendo DS and a DMG GameBoy, combined with an SP screen!

This custom Nintendo DS-GameBoy hybrid console looks unreal!

A YouTuber named Jacob R uploaded a video on his channel recently while unveiling a custom console. It wasn’t just an ordinary device, however, but a mighty crossover of Nintendo classics like the DS and the DMG GameBoy. Breaking it down, the YouTuber explained the additions that were implemented in this customized version.

He told that the Nintendo DS-GameBoy hybrid came with extra buttons compared to a regular GameBoy. For example, along with the regular ‘A’ and ‘B’ buttons, the ‘Start’ and ‘Select’ buttons and D pad, it also featured two extra buttons for ‘X’ and ‘Y’. That’s because a Nintendo DS also has two buttons. On the back as well, the custom console had two buttons, probably indicating the ‘L’ and ‘R’.

Issues with the custom console

Moreover, there was also a flip-up screen, from a GameBoy Advance SP. According to the YouTuber, he had no idea how this was implemented, but it looked extremely amazing. Furthermore, the main display of the hybrid console was touchscreen, similar to the DS. As expected, the custom product also had separate slots for the DS and GameBoy Advance titles.

However, there were several problems as well with this product that the YouTuber bought from a website. He had to press the D-pad very hard in order to make it work. The same was the case with the buttons on the front as well. While pressing them, it took him more effort to register inputs onto the screen.

All things considered, though, this rare hybrid console is extremely amazing to have. At least one can use it to add to a glorious collection based on Nintendo’s legacy. What are your thoughts on this creation? Let us know in the comments down below.
