I already saw this at the french robotic cup in 1999, here is Your chance to buy a mature kit: the Xport 2.0. You can now create amazing robot creations with a Game Boy and some LEGOs....

The new Xport 2.0 turns the Game Boy Advance (GBA) into a powerful embedded development system.

4 closed-loop back-EMF motor controllers
16 digital sensor inputs
8 analog sensor inputs
In-system NiCd, NiMH battery charger

Comprehensive open-source software
Optional Bluetooth and other accessories

Combine with a game boy advance, you have among other things a system:

Programmable in C or C++
PCM sound

Powerful 32-bit RISC CPU

Soon someone will have to enter the 3 robotics laws in their silicon brain for sure:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Even better, the toy is highly hackable see here and here ...
