Nintendo Surprises with LEGO-Inspired Gameboy Announcement

Nintendo's Latest Announcement: A LEGO Game Boy!

Nintendo and LEGO have teamed up again, this time unveiling a LEGO Game Boy set! Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release. The announcement, however, has sparked a flurry of online speculation regarding the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Many social media users humorously interpreted the news as a substitute for the Switch 2 reveal.

While details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa confirmed in May 2024 that a successor to the Switch would be announced within their fiscal year (ending March). Patience is key for those eagerly awaiting the next-generation console.

Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy has yet to be revealed, but further information is promised in the coming weeks and months.

A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations

Beyond the NES and Game Boy, Nintendo and LEGO have previously collaborated on sets featuring beloved characters from iconic franchises. These include Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ).

In May 2024, a 2,500-piece LEGO set depicting the Great Deku Tree from both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild was released, including Princess Zelda and the Master Sword. This set retails at $299.99 USD.

Following this, a Super Mario World-themed set featuring Mario riding Yoshi was released two months later. This unique set showcases the in-game sprites, with a rotating crank animating Yoshi's legs. It's available for $129.99 USD.
