A: There are 2 stickers for the cartridge labels. The rest are pre-printed on the bricks.

A: I literally bought the set today it has 2 stickers for game pak covers

A: All pieces are printed except for the covers of the game cartridges, which are used with stickers

A: The LEGO® Super Mario™ Game Boy™ set comes with printed pieces only! - Sien, LEGO® Customer Service

A: Hello! This LEGO® model building kit is intended for adult builders, but the age range is simply a guideline. You know your builder best! - John, LEGO® Customer Service

A: if you think you or the person you're getting it for is capable of not choking on small pieces, following very detailed directions and being interested in creating a non-functioning replica of a system they have probably never played then go for it. This isn't sarcasm this is sincerity, I know plenty of under 18s who would be on either side of this line particularly when it comes to a system they have no personal memories of. 

A: Because it is a display piece not meant for playing purposes.

A: If you mean the bricks go together, yes. If you mean if it is a functional gameboy, the answer is no, although third parties have been working on kits so you can add the functionality.

A: It's a 1:1 scale brick-built replica of the original Game Boy handheld game system from Nintendo. You can customise your display with interchangeable, brick-built The Legend of Zelda™: Link's Awakening or Super Mario Land™ Game Boy™ Game Packs and lenticular screens, plus a Nintendo® start screen!

A: The LEGO® Game Boy set 72046 is a non-functional display piece and does not work electronically. It is designed for display and nostalgia purposes, not for playing video games.

A: as sent and built as instructed no, but if you look at other answers in this Q&A you will see that there are people working on a kit to add the functionality.

A: You can not play games on it

A: No, you cannot play games on set 72046. While it closely resembles a classic Game Boy, it doesn’t include any electronic or interactive features.

A: No you can't play games on it

A: The set is meant to inspire memories of classic video games with this near 1:1 scale replica model of the original Game Boy™ handheld game system from Nintendo®. - Elizabeth, LEGO® Customer Service

A: It will vary depending on the builder's experience and skill level. - Priv, LEGO® Customer Service

A: It doesn’t power on or play games like a real Game Boy but it’s a fantastic build that plays straight to your nostalgia! A true display piece for any fan.
