You Can Get This DIY Game Console Kit for $80 Right Now

You may consider yourself a top-notch gamer, but have you ever built a console? Or wrote his own game? These skills require some hands-on experience and a lot of practice, and the Nibble DIY Game Console Kit comes with everything you need to build your own handheld game console. You can then use it to play retro games or create your own with their open source software. You can purchase it now for $79.99 (27% off the regular price of $109.99).

Funny learning set

Out of the box, the Nibble DIY game console looks like a bunch of disparate parts, but the assembly guide will walk you through the process of assembling all the parts into a complete console.

You will be assembling parts such as the main circuit board, buttons, chips, LCD, battery holder and more . You will also learn how to use a soldering iron and a Phillips screwdriver, each tool included.

Once assembled, simply pop in the batteries and play the four pre-loaded games: Bonk, Invaderz, Snake and SpaceRocks.

Learn to Program Your Own Games

The Nibble DIY Game Console Kit has been designed to help you learn how to code new games. Because it only comes with those four games preloaded, it might not be right for you if you don’t want to end up writing your own code.

The Nibble software is completely open source and is similar to Scratch or Code.org. This makes it easier for beginners to get into embedded programming and create their own games.

The software also includes hardware diagrams to show you exactly what you are doing and why when you assemble the console, making the kit more of an educational tool than a form of entertainment.

Designed for kids ages 9 and up, this set is great for a project to work on with your child, allowing them to learn about the simple science behind their favorite video games.

Right now, you can purchase the Nibble Educational DIY Game Console for Kids 9+ for $79.99 (although prices are subject to change at any time).
