Finally!

This is the first project like this I have taken on as far as very limited space, all of my soldering and electrical knowledge is basically from the r/c hobby or just radio in general . I find myself really wanting to do a rpi3 in a Gameboy but it appears that's not a popular choice and I haven't found too much on doing so. Iay just not be looking in the right spot.
I ordered the peppermint red parts from wermy and decided to put them in a cinnamon tin. I like how it turned out. The speaker I received may be a bit tall as the center sticks up just a little on mine.

Looks great, thanks for sharing!
You should definitely consider a RPi3 for a GBZ, it is totally worth it and it is something you will use. Kite's version is very stable, you should have a look at his instruction manuals, it is very educative.

Great build! Looks really nice and great work on your first project....maybe a GBZ next then?!
A Pi3 GBZ is a sought after model but poses a more hurdles so to speak. (requires de-soldering etc)
Kites kits as Eccho says are excellent as are his manuals and support.
Also check out 'inches' upcoming board which works alongside Kites SAIO and a Raspberry Pi compute module (similar grunt to a Pi3!)

Awesome! Thanks, I'll check it all out again. I had seen kites aio board earlier and was hoping I could get ahold of one soon but it seems they aren't for sale currently?

The current batch is being fabricated. Once those are in, checked, and mailed out, Kite will (hopefully) re-open another round. Probably sometime in October.
