Review: These framed Game Boys from Xreart_Official prove that games can indeed be art.
and Nintendo Switch. Each piece certainly looks striking, especially for those who carry nostalgia for their halcyon days, which is exactly what you’d expect for their prices starting at $199 / £167.
Also unlike some similar products, XreArt’s console parts themselves are extremely clean – suspiciously so, in fact. This led us to enquire exactly how it has managed to secure so many pristine Game Boys, especially since mint specimens of the 30-year-old device would likely sell for a significant premium.
For a start, you really can’t tell the difference. Side by side with original hardware, the shells in XreArts’ frames are authentic down to the smallest detail. In our bundle of frames, the only evidence that they might not be original – beyond the obvious suspicion that they look like brand new consoles from 1989 – was a ‘Famitsu’ edition Game Boy pocket screen that didn’t match the colour shell it was originally sold with.
