Nintendo and LEGO Team Up Again: A LEGO Game Boy
LEGO Game Boy Arriving October 2025
Nintendo has revealed its newest collaboration with LEGO: a brick-built Game Boy! Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release.
While exciting for fans of both brands, the Twitter (now X) announcement sparked a flurry of comments about the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. One user quipped, "Thanks for finally revealing the new console," highlighting the anticipation surrounding the next-gen system. Another joked, "At this rate, a LEGO Switch 2 will be out before the actual reveal!"
While details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa stated on May 7, 2024, that an announcement regarding the Switch's successor is planned for within the current fiscal year (ending March). Fans will have to wait a little longer for official news.
Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy set hasn't been revealed yet, but further information is expected in the coming weeks or months.
Previous Nintendo x LEGO Collaborations
Beyond the NES set, Nintendo and LEGO have previously partnered to create sets based on popular franchises such as Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda (TLZ).
In May 2024, LEGO launched a 2,500-piece set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. This impressive $299.99 USD set includes Princess Zelda and the Master Sword.
Two months later, a Super Mario World set featuring Mario and Yoshi debuted. This $129.99 USD set uniquely portrays the characters' in-game sprites, with a rotating crank animating Yoshi's leg movement.
