Lego Nintendo took me longer to build than beating Super Mario Bros.

We put the Lego NES up against the old-school Super Mario Bros. game to see how they compare in terms of fun factor and the time it takes to finish. Yes, it’s a race — building the Lego set versus playing the video game. Read: Lego NES set officially revealed Read: Lego Super Mario sets…

      @CNET I unfortunately lost my collection in a fire a couple years ago, but have been collecting since, mostly the Speed Champions; even built a dyno testing garage.

    Where’s the music production from when you started building the Nintendo?

  17. Brandon Niette

    August 20, 2020 at 8:23 pm

    Yeah now that’s awesome build up of LEGO’s but that long time to build I’d rather play super Mario odyssey on the switch

    When I heard this was first coming out, I really thought that it would be a functional Nintendo System made out of Lego’s….. boy was I in for a disappointment….

    • Omniferous Swan

      August 21, 2020 at 10:15 pm

      Kind of an unrealistic expectation to assume a lego model would be functional. If you buy a lego deathstar do you assume it can destroy planets?

    • Maiku Tsukino

      August 22, 2020 at 12:09 am

      @Omniferous Swan …..wow. I don’t know how to reply to that level of “Out There”. Kinda like asking someone if they bought an airsoft gun thinking it fired real bullets. I might need a few more beers before I can grasp your level and respond properly.

    • Omniferous Swan

      August 22, 2020 at 12:17 am

      @Maiku Tsukino you’re just proving my point more. Why would anyone think a replica would do the same thing?

    • Maiku Tsukino

      August 22, 2020 at 12:35 am

      @Omniferous Swan Hold up. I’m still not drunk enough to be at your level. I’m working on it. I’m working on it.

    • Blue

      August 23, 2020 at 12:17 am

      @Omniferous Swan not that I would expect this to be functional either but it’s a far reaching example.
      A death star isn’t really plausible but including the wires and components pre included with the kit to use the Lego as a chassis wouldn’t be as difficult.

    • Omniferous Swan

      August 23, 2020 at 12:33 am

      @Blue i can think of a hundred reasons why it would be very difficult and dangerous. ???? But yeah. It was an unequivocal example. Just the first lego model to come to mind.

  21. Ihtesham Emon

    Wastage of time, I don’t know why people spend their productive time on these things ????

    If you have ever taken apart a Nintendo you would know that it’s made of very few components and you could easily fit one into that Lego model. I would buy the model and retro fit it to work. Now that would be a fun project!

    Thats their selling point building exp not playing exp

    There isn’t supposed to be a dark gray line across the front of your NES door. You got some parts swapped.

    Thank you for making and sharing this video. I bought this and plan to film it being put together.

    I was planning on noodling my pieces, I’ve heard it helps.
