LEGO and Nintendo Team Up for a Retro Game Boy Set

LEGO and Nintendo are joining forces once again, this time to recreate the iconic Game Boy handheld gaming system in LEGO brick form. While a release date remains under wraps, this new collaboration expands on the already successful partnership between these two pop culture giants.

This latest project follows a string of popular LEGO sets based on Nintendo properties, including the NES, Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and Legend of Zelda franchises. The enduring appeal of both LEGO and Nintendo, and their respective iconic products, makes this collaboration a natural fit.

Details about the Game Boy set, such as its design, price, and release date, are currently scarce. Fans of classic Game Boy titles like Pokémon and Tetris will have to patiently await further announcements.

Expanding the Video Game LEGO Universe

This isn't LEGO's first foray into recreating classic consoles. Their previous Nintendo Entertainment System set was a hit, packed with nostalgic nods to its games. The company’s video game-themed offerings continue to grow, with ongoing expansions to their Sonic the Hedgehog and Animal Crossing lines. Even a PlayStation 2 set is under consideration, demonstrating LEGO's commitment to expanding its video game-related product range. A previously released Atari 2600 set, complete with game dioramas, further showcases this trend.

In the meantime, while fans eagerly anticipate more information about the Game Boy set, LEGO offers a diverse selection of other video game-themed sets to keep builders occupied. The growing Animal Crossing line and other existing Nintendo-themed sets provide ample options for LEGO enthusiasts.
