LEGO and Nintendo Team Up for a Retro Game Boy Set

LEGO and Nintendo are expanding their successful partnership with a new collectible set based on the iconic Game Boy handheld console. This collaboration follows previous successful ventures, including LEGO sets themed around the NES, Super Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing franchises.

The announcement, made by Nintendo, generated significant excitement among fans. While details remain scarce – including pricing and a release date – the prospect of a LEGO Game Boy set is already captivating enthusiasts of classic titles like Pokémon and Tetris. The companies’ shared history in pop culture makes this collaboration a natural fit.

A Legacy of LEGO and Nintendo Collaborations

This isn't the first time LEGO has recreated a Nintendo console. A highly detailed LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System set, replete with game references, was a previous hit. The success of the Super Mario LEGO line, along with the Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda sets, further solidified this fruitful partnership.

LEGO's foray into video game-themed sets continues to expand beyond Nintendo. The Sonic the Hedgehog line is consistently growing, and a fan-proposed PlayStation 2 set is currently under review.

What's Next?

While fans eagerly await official details on the Game Boy set's release and features, LEGO offers a diverse range of other video game-themed products to tide them over. The Animal Crossing line continues to expand, and the Atari 2600 set remains a popular choice. The upcoming Game Boy set promises to be another highly sought-after addition to this growing collection.
