It’s finally happening! LEGO has announced their next collaboration with Nintendo, and it’s a console beloved by millions—the iconic GAME BOY. Following the success of their previous Nintendo sets, LEGO is bringing the classic handheld console to life, with a release date set for October 2025—perfect timing for those early holiday wish lists (or even your birthday, if you’re lucky!).
The announcement was teased across LEGO’s social media with a short video showcasing glimpses of the set, including bricks, buttons, and a hint of its original console-inspired design. From what’s been revealed, the set aims to stay as true to the original GAME BOY as possible. The D-pad design suggests a build close in size to the real handheld, making this a potentially more affordable option compared to larger sets like the NES.
What’s even more exciting is the potential for interactive features. LEGO could include a functional cartridge slot, much like their NES set, with a mini TETRIS cartridge you can insert and remove. Imagine flipping a clicky on/off switch that activates a light brick or seeing TETRIS-style mini-bricks displayed on the screen. Fans have speculated that removable AA batteries might even be part of the build, boosting authenticity while adding to the piece count.
For those who love details, the possibility of extra accessories like a LEGO link cable or a buildable cartridge box could take this set to the next level. And while nothing is confirmed yet, fans are hopeful this collaboration could pave the way for future releases, like a LEGO Game Boy Advance.
Whether you’re a longtime Nintendo enthusiast or a LEGO collector, this upcoming set is shaping up to be a nostalgic must-have. Stay tuned for more updates as October 2025 draws closer—and let’s hope LEGO delivers something truly special with this retro masterpiece!
