The LEGO Game Boy: Launching October 2025
Nintendo has revealed its second LEGO console collaboration, following the successful NES set. This time, it's the iconic Game Boy, launching in October 2025.
While exciting news for LEGO and Nintendo fans alike, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a flurry of comments and jokes about the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. One user quipped, "Thanks for finally revealing the new console," while another humorously noted, "At this rate, a LEGO Switch 2 will be out before the actual system reveal."
Although Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2, President Furukawa stated on May 7, 2024, that an announcement regarding the successor to the Nintendo Switch would be made within the current fiscal year (ending in March). Fans will have to wait a little longer for official news.
Pricing details for the LEGO Game Boy set haven't been released yet, but more information is promised in the coming weeks and months.
A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations
Beyond the NES LEGO set, Nintendo and LEGO have previously partnered to bring beloved characters from franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ) to life in brick form.
Last May 2024, a 2,500-piece LEGO set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild was released. This impressive set, priced at $299.99 USD, includes Princess Zelda and the Master Sword.
Two months later, a new Super Mario set depicting Mario and Yoshi from Super Mario World joined the lineup. This unique set showcases the in-game sprites, with a crank mechanism that animates Yoshi's leg. Available for $129.99 USD.
