Nintendo Finally Announces Next Console: a LEGO Gameboy

Nintendo's Latest Announcement: A LEGO Game Boy!

Get ready for some nostalgic fun! Nintendo has just revealed its latest collaboration with LEGO – a buildable LEGO Game Boy! Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release.

While exciting news for LEGO and Nintendo enthusiasts alike, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a flurry of speculation about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Many users playfully interpreted the Game Boy announcement as a delayed reveal of the new console.

Although Nintendo remains tight-lipped on Switch 2 details, President Furukawa's May 7, 2024 statement promises an announcement regarding the Switch successor before the end of their fiscal year (March). Patience is key!

Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy remains undisclosed, but further details are expected in the coming weeks.

A History of Nintendo and LEGO 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 (TLZ) to life in brick form.

Remember the impressive 2,500-piece LEGO set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, released in May 2024? It included Princess Zelda and the Master Sword, retailing at $299.99 USD.

Following closely, a unique Super Mario and Yoshi set debuted two months later, showcasing a pixelated Mario riding Yoshi. A rotating crank animates Yoshi's leg, priced at $129.99 USD.

The LEGO Game Boy promises to be another exciting addition to this successful partnership. Stay tuned for more updates!
