Nintendo and Lego are collaborating to release a Lego Game Boy, following their successful Lego NES collaboration. The release is scheduled for October 2025.
Nintendo just announced a new console and it’s still not the Switch 2. The console maker is teaming up with Lego to release a Game Boy made of plastic bricks. It follows after a previous collaboration in which the two companies released a Lego NES together, complete with retro TV that displayed the first level of the original Super Mario Bros. Will the Lego Game Boy be an equally intricate homage to ‘80s gaming? Probably, but it’s hard to tell at the moment.
All Nintendo released today when announcing the collaboration was a 15-second teaser and a release window of October 2025. Otherwise no price, no description, not even a glimpse of the finished product outside of the single D-pad brick. The last Lego Nintendo system was the NES, which released in 2020. That set’s replica console, game cartridge, controller, and TV consisted of 2,646 bricks with a price tag of $200. I imagine the Game Boy set will be somewhat smaller and potentially cheaper as a result. After all, you can get an actual Nintendo Switch Lite that plays actual Game Boy games for $200. Which raises another question. Will the Lego Game Boy play actual games? None of the other Lego consoles have, not the replica Atari 2600 and not the Pac-Man arcade machine. And actually running Tetris would require a screen, an emulation device of some kind, and a battery pack. So probably not. Still, the Lego Game Boy is coming at the perfect moment to capitalize on retro handheld nostalgia. The Analogue Pocket continues to release tons of cool color variants and the ModRetro Chromatic, released just last year, has been getting good reviews and fueling fans’ Game Boy nostalgia (even if it was made by a company that wants to sell the government lethal AI-controlled drones)
