Purchase custom Gameboy Color lens?

Customs Game Boy Color lens -- support the project

I really like Luigi's Mansion and I recently purchased a Gameboy Color with a scratched lens.
I want a replacement, but not a standard one. I don't want to to say Gameboy Color. I want it to say:

Help me get these made.

 

Nice idea dude!

 

its probably going to cost you alot.

 

probably could find sticker paper and print that font on it the sticky it haha. i bet if you can find a custom case retailer, they will do it.

 

Me wants! ;D

 

Get it made in glass, will cost you a lot less and a good glassmaker can produce something as light and as strong as plastic.

I used to get glass screens made for my GP32. Cost about £20, adding a colour logo wouldn't be much more.

 

Sounds like a cool idea. 1200x400 probably isn't big enough, though, even for something that small.

 

A lot can happen in a day.
I was on a quest for one, but it looks like I might have to order more and sell them.
I contacted the owner of a store that sells normal GBC screens and asked about producing GBH screens.

I can get 600, but it must use the same colors the real GBC logo.
I can get 3000 and use my custom colors.

Is there enough support to warrant a 600-1800USD expense?

Here is what the cheap screens would look like:

 

That's a serious amount of cash for the sake of a novelty screen. Cool but pricey.

I can't imagine there'd be a market for that many if you bought in bulk, although Ninty fans do lap up stuff like this from time to time so who knows.

 

Well, a shop has offer to go in on the cost with me. They would buy 200 ish at the wholesale price.
This would leave me with $400 to cover for 400 screens.
I'm going to submit a project to kickstarter.com
I will keep you guys updated, if you are interested.

 

I'd buy 10

 

I wouldn't mind a few, replacing the screen cover on the GBCs I have would be great.

 

Why Game Boy HORROR because of LM?

doesn't quite make sense to me.

 

Not to be rude, but what could possibly not make sense?
It's just a nod to the greatest game of all time.

Did you own a PS2, by any chance? That would explain your confusion.

 

Ah. Trying make a fanboy argument towards me eh?


The context of putting "Horror" In place of "color" for a game that isn't even on that system just doesn't quite make sense.

I can understand replacing scratched screen lenses.

But it'd make more sense if you making a mod for a gamecube and doing something like this.


With that said, I have nothing wrong with you doing this;by all means whatever makes you happy; i'm just asking questions because I don't understand is all.


And just FYI, I've owned 10+ Gameboy's in my life including, 3 colors.
So it's not like I have never played A gameboy/gamecube/luigi's mansion.

 

Game boy horror is a reference to an item in LR.

 

oh is it?

I guess it is after looking it up.

I haven't played Luigi's mansion since it came out.

So excuse my bad memory.

 

I've never even played Luigi's Mansion and I got that one.

 

Alas. I have hit a dead end.

Now I know how App developers feel. It's not fun to be rejected without a specific reason given.

 

Maybe they realised it would take a miracle for you to shift 600 of those things?

...just a thought.
