Nintendo's Latest LEGO Collaboration: A Game Boy!
LEGO Game Boy Arriving October 2025
Nintendo has unveiled its newest partnership with LEGO: a buildable Game Boy! Launching in October 2025, this marks the second Nintendo console to receive the LEGO treatment, following the successful NES set.
While exciting news for both LEGO and Nintendo enthusiasts, the Twitter (now X) announcement sparked a flurry of inquiries about the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. One user humorously thanked Nintendo for "finally revealing the new console," while another quipped that a LEGO Switch 2 might arrive before the actual console reveal.
Although Nintendo remains tight-lipped on Switch 2 specifics, President Furukawa's May 7, 2024 statement promised an announcement regarding the Switch successor within the current fiscal year (ending March). Fans will need to exercise patience.
Pricing details for the LEGO Game Boy remain undisclosed, but further information is expected in the coming weeks or months.
A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations
Beyond the NES, Nintendo and LEGO have previously joined forces to create sets based on popular franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ).
May 2024 saw the release of a 2,500-piece LEGO set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. This impressive set, priced at $299.99 USD, includes Princess Zelda and the Master Sword.
Two months later, a Super Mario World-themed LEGO set hit shelves. This unique set depicts a pixelated Mario riding Yoshi, with a rotating crank animating Yoshi's leg. It's available for $129.99 USD.
