Nintendo Reveals LEGO Gameboy: New Console Announced

Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!

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

This exciting news has, however, sparked a flurry of speculation online regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Many social media users playfully interpreted the announcement as a substitute for the long-awaited Switch 2 reveal, with comments such as, "Thanks for finally revealing the new console," highlighting the anticipation surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console.

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 fiscal year, ending in March. Patience is key for those eagerly awaiting further news.

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

Past 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 LEGO form.

A notable example is the May 2024 release of the 2,500-piece LEGO "Great Deku Tree 2-in-1" set from The Legend of Zelda series. This impressive set, priced at $299.99 USD, features the iconic tree from both Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, along with Princess Zelda and the Master Sword.

Following closely behind, a new Super Mario LEGO set debuted two months later, showcasing a pixel art rendition of Mario riding Yoshi from Super Mario World. This unique set, available for $129.99 USD, incorporates a crank mechanism to animate Yoshi's leg movement.

The LEGO Game Boy promises to be another exciting addition to this successful partnership, and fans worldwide eagerly await its release.
