Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!

Get ready for a blast from the past! Nintendo has just announced its latest partnership with LEGO, resulting in a highly anticipated LEGO Game Boy set. Launching in October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release, marking the second Nintendo console to receive the LEGO treatment.

The announcement, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked a flurry of excitement and, predictably, questions about the elusive Nintendo Switch 2. While many celebrated the news, some couldn't resist the humorous irony, with one user quipping, "Thanks for finally revealing the new console!" Another playfully commented, "At this rate, a LEGO Switch 2 will be out before the actual console reveal!"

While details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa previously stated (May 7, 2024) that an announcement regarding the Switch successor would be made within their current fiscal year, ending in March. Patience, fans!

Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy remains undisclosed, but further information is promised in the coming weeks and months.

A Legacy of LEGO and Nintendo Collaborations

This isn't Nintendo's first foray into the world of LEGO. Previous collaborations have brought beloved characters from iconic franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda to life in brick form.

In May 2024, LEGO unveiled a magnificent 2,500-piece set featuring the Great Deku Tree from both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. This impressive creation, priced at $299.99 USD, also includes Princess Zelda and the Master Sword.

Following closely in July 2024, a charming Super Mario and Yoshi set emerged, showcasing the classic duo from Super Mario World. This unique set, priced at $129.99 USD, cleverly utilizes a crank mechanism to animate Yoshi's leg movement, mirroring the in-game sprite.

The LEGO Game Boy promises to be another exciting addition to this successful partnership, and we eagerly await further details.
