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 the popular LEGO NES, Super Mario, and Zelda sets, further solidifying the brands' commitment to nostalgic gaming tributes.
The announcement, made by Nintendo, generated significant excitement among fans. While details remain scarce – including release date and pricing – the prospect of a LEGO Game Boy set has already captivated enthusiasts of classic titles like Pokémon and Tetris. The set's design and features remain shrouded in mystery, adding to the anticipation.
This isn't the first time these pop culture giants have joined forces. Their previous collaborations, encompassing the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and various Super Mario themes, have proven incredibly popular. The partnership has also extended to other franchises like Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda, showcasing the breadth of their shared creative vision.
LEGO's foray into video game-themed sets continues to expand. Beyond Nintendo, the company offers sets featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and is currently reviewing a fan-submitted design for a PlayStation 2 set. This demonstrates LEGO’s responsiveness to fan demand and their commitment to broadening their video game-related offerings.
In the meantime, fans can explore LEGO's existing range of video game-themed sets, including the ever-expanding Animal Crossing line and the previously released Atari 2600 set. These provide a satisfying interim for those eagerly awaiting more information on the highly anticipated Game Boy release.
