Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!
Get ready for a blast from the past! Nintendo has just announced a new partnership with LEGO, resulting in a highly anticipated LEGO Game Boy set. Launching in October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release, marking the second Nintendo console to receive the LEGO treatment.
While this exciting news delights fans of both brands, it's also sparked a flurry of speculation regarding the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Social media is buzzing with humorous comments, with some users playfully suggesting the LEGO Switch 2 might arrive before the actual console reveal!
Although Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2's specifics, President Furukawa's May 7, 2024 statement promises an announcement within their fiscal year (ending March 2025). Patience is key for eager gamers!
Pricing details for the LEGO Game Boy are yet to be unveiled, but Nintendo promises more information in the coming weeks and months.
A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations
The LEGO Game Boy isn't the first foray into this successful partnership. Previous collaborations have brought beloved characters from iconic Nintendo franchises to life in LEGO form, including Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda.
Last May 2024 saw the release of a stunning 2,500-piece LEGO set featuring 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 closely behind, a unique Super Mario and Yoshi set debuted two months later. This innovative set depicts the classic sprite art of Mario riding Yoshi, with a rotating crank that animates Yoshi's leg. Available for $129.99 USD, it's a must-have for Super Mario fans.
The LEGO Game Boy promises to be another exciting addition to this growing collection. Stay tuned for further updates!
