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 latest collaboration follows previous successful ventures, including LEGO sets themed around the NES, Super Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing franchises.

The announcement, made via Nintendo's Twitter, generated significant excitement among fans. While details remain scarce – including the set's design, price point, and release date – anticipation is high, particularly among fans of classic Game Boy titles like Pokémon and Tetris.

This isn't LEGO's first foray into retro gaming. Previous collaborations with Nintendo have yielded highly detailed and nostalgic sets, such as the LEGO NES, complete with game-specific references. The success of these sets, coupled with the enduring popularity of the Game Boy, suggests this new offering will be highly sought after.

LEGO's video game-themed product line continues to expand beyond Nintendo. The company has also produced sets based on Sonic the Hedgehog and the Atari 2600, and a PlayStation 2 set is currently under review. This demonstrates LEGO's commitment to catering to diverse gaming fandoms.

While fans eagerly await further information on the Game Boy set's release, LEGO offers a diverse range of other video game-themed sets to tide them over, including the ever-expanding Animal Crossing collection. The combination of LEGO's building prowess and Nintendo's iconic gaming legacy promises another exciting addition to the world of collectible toys.
