Inspiration for the Magic the Gathering mana symbol buttons came from the fact that I'm fan of that game, and used to have my Game Boy with me at MtG tournaments to play in between matches. I also thought these buttons would look pretty cool on the "Play it Loud" color versions of the original DMG.
I made this set of buttons for the TMNT themed GBZ that I recently gave to my brother Sean for his birthday. He was totally blown away! (and thus I ensured that I would receive something awesome from him for my birthday, which I did
)
So as you can see the possibilities for this type of custom button are virtually endless, from buttons with ABXY lettering, various NES characters, Pokeballs, etc. I am currently working on a method that might be able to incorporate holographic/chrome foil into the designs as well. I'm also working on making buttons molds for all the other versions of the Game Boy, and I think I'll even be able to make buttons like these that can be used on the new Nintendo 3DS and possibly the Switch. I've thought about the idea of possibly making these for people as custom orders, but I'm unsure if I'd currently have the time available to do so. I am going to start working on a YouTube video tutorial on exactly how I make these, and possibly a written tutorial to share here on Sudomod. I hope you like them!
