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 collaboration follows previous successful ventures, including LEGO sets themed around the NES, Super Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing franchises.
The announcement, made by Nintendo, generated significant excitement among fans of both brands. While details regarding the set's design, price, and release date remain scarce, anticipation is high, particularly among fans of classic Game Boy titles like Pokémon and Tetris.
This isn't the first time LEGO has recreated a Nintendo console. A previous LEGO NES set proved incredibly popular, featuring intricate details and nods to various games. The success of the Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing lines further solidified the partnership's potential.
LEGO's foray into video game-themed sets continues to expand. Beyond Nintendo, the company has produced sets based on Sonic the Hedgehog and the Atari 2600. A PlayStation 2 set is currently under review, demonstrating the ongoing interest in this popular product line.
While fans eagerly await more information on the Game Boy set, LEGO offers a diverse range of other video game-themed products, including the expanding Animal Crossing line, ensuring there's plenty to keep builders busy in the meantime.
