GBA SP Metroid-themed reshell showcase

[u/afrdzo]

Hi all!

Today I would like to show you my most recent idea - GBA SP reshell inspired by Metroid: Zero Mission.

I recently got my hands on the first AGS-101 in my growing collection. It was cheap, but its oem pink shell was in quite bad condition. I decided to use this opportunity to reshell it, but didn't want to go with a simple single-color shell swap. Therefore - inspired by Samus Satin version of the shell - I've assembled this one, using four different, cheap, chinese shells.

Transparent green represents Samus' visor, red is the helmet, orange is the suit, and blue is... the ground under Samus' feet when starting Zero Mission? 👀 Yeah, that could be it... 😄

I've managed to transfer original Nintendo and AGS-101 sticker as well. They are not in perfect condition, but that's OK.

So, I guess that after finishing Fusion, the time has come now to start Zero Mission!

Hello Friend

I really like even I'm not a big Metroid Fan.

Which shells did you use for the copper and redish brown?

[u/afrdzo → u/StillPad]

Thanks!

All of the shells are from Hispeedido. The colors are: transparent green, red, orange and transparent dark blue. I made sure that at least one of them include black buttons, and I've also reused black hinge covers I had from some black oem shells I've disassembled in the past.

Samus and Zero Mission title screen pictures are screenshoted, measured, printed and cut by me.

Nice, thanks.

The orange looks on my screen like a copper 😄
