Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!
Nintendo has just announced a new partnership with LEGO, resulting in a highly anticipated LEGO Game Boy set! Launching October 2025, this marks the second Nintendo console to receive the LEGO treatment, following the successful NES set.
While exciting news for fans of both brands, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a flurry of speculation regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Many users playfully interpreted the news as a delayed Switch 2 reveal, with comments like, "Thanks for finally revealing the new console," and "At this rate, a LEGO Switch 2 will be out before the actual system!"
Although Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2, President Furukawa's May 7, 2024 statement promised an announcement regarding the Switch successor within their fiscal year (ending March). Patience is key as fans await further details.
Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy remains undisclosed, but further information is expected in the coming weeks or months.
Previous Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations
Beyond the NES and Game Boy LEGO sets, Nintendo and LEGO have previously teamed up to produce sets featuring beloved characters from iconic franchises such as Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ).
A notable example is the May 2024 release of a 2,500-piece LEGO set depicting the Great Deku Tree from both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. This impressive set, priced at $299.99 USD, includes Princess Zelda and the Master Sword minifigures.
Following two months later, a new Super Mario set featuring Mario and Yoshi from Super Mario World was launched. This unique set showcases the in-game sprites of Mario riding Yoshi, with a rotating crank to animate Yoshi's leg. This set is available for $129.99 USD.
