Nintendo Finally Announces Next Console: a LEGO Gameboy

Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!

Get ready for a blast from the past! Nintendo has just announced its latest partnership with LEGO, resulting in a highly anticipated LEGO Game Boy set. Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release.

While this exciting news delights LEGO and Nintendo fans alike, the Twittersphere (X) is abuzz with speculation about the still-unannounced Nintendo Switch 2. Many users humorously interpreted the LEGO Game Boy announcement as a cryptic reveal of the next console.

Although details remain scarce regarding the Switch 2, Nintendo President Furukawa confirmed on May 7, 2024, a reveal within their current fiscal year (ending March). Patience is key!

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

A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations

Beyond the NES and the upcoming Game Boy, Nintendo and LEGO have previously teamed up to bring iconic characters from beloved franchises to life in brick form. Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda have all been featured.

Recall the May 2024 release of the 2,500-piece LEGO "Great Deku Tree 2-in-1" set from The Legend of Zelda series. Featuring characters from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, this impressive set, including Princess Zelda and the Master Sword, retails at $299.99 USD.

Following closely, a unique Super Mario and Yoshi LEGO set debuted two months later. This set creatively depicts the classic sprite of Mario riding Yoshi, with a rotating crank to animate Yoshi's leg. This innovative set is available for $129.99 USD.
