Nintendo and LEGO Team Up Again!

The LEGO Game Boy Arrives October 2025

Nintendo's second LEGO console collaboration (following the successful NES set) is a LEGO Game Boy, launching October 2025. While exciting news for fans of both brands, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a flurry of speculation about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Some users jokingly interpreted the announcement as a reveal of the new console, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the Switch's successor.

Although details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa stated on May 7, 2024, that an announcement regarding the Switch's successor would be made within the current fiscal year (ending in March). Fans will have to wait a little longer for official news.

Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy hasn't been revealed yet, but further information is expected in the coming weeks and months.

A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations

Beyond the NES, Nintendo and LEGO have previously teamed up to bring iconic characters from beloved franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda to life in LEGO form.

Last May 2024, LEGO released a stunning 2,500-piece set featuring the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, complete with Princess Zelda and the Master Sword. This impressive set retails for $299.99 USD.

Two months later, a new Super Mario set depicting Mario and Yoshi from Super Mario World was released. This unique set showcases the characters' in-game sprites, with a rotating crank that animates Yoshi's leg. It's available for $129.99 USD.
