Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!
Nintendo and LEGO have teamed up again, this time producing a LEGO Game Boy set! Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release. While exciting for fans of both brands, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked considerable speculation regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Some users humorously suggested the LEGO Game Boy is the new console reveal.
Although details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa confirmed in May 2024 that a successor announcement would be made within the current fiscal year (ending March). Fans will need to wait a little longer for official news.
The price for the LEGO Game Boy is yet to be revealed, but further information is expected in the coming weeks or months.
A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations
Beyond the NES and Game Boy LEGO sets, the partnership has extended to iconic characters from franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ).
Last May 2024, LEGO released a 2,500-piece set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, complete with Princess Zelda and the Master Sword. This impressive set retails for $299.99 USD.
Following this, a Super Mario World LEGO set featuring Mario and Yoshi in their classic sprite forms was released. This innovative set uses a crank mechanism to animate Yoshi's leg movement, priced at $129.99 USD.
