LEGO Game Boy: October 2025 Launch

The news has sparked much online discussion, with many playfully interpreting the announcement as a delayed Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2, President Furukawa's May 7, 2024 statement promises an announcement before the end of their fiscal year (March).

Pricing details for the LEGO Game Boy are yet to be revealed, with further information expected in the coming weeks or months.

A History of Nintendo and LEGO Collaborations

Beyond the Game Boy and NES, Nintendo and LEGO have previously partnered on sets featuring iconic characters from Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda.

For example, May 2024 saw the release of a 2,500-piece Legend of Zelda set, the "Great Deku Tree 2-in-1," featuring Princess Zelda and the Master Sword, priced at $299.99 USD.

Following closely in July 2024, a Super Mario World set depicting Mario riding Yoshi was released for $129.99 USD. This innovative set uses a crank mechanism to animate Yoshi's leg movement.
