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 regarding the set's design, price, and release date remain undisclosed, anticipation is high, particularly among fans of classic Game Boy titles like Pokémon and Tetris.
This isn't the first time LEGO has recreated classic Nintendo consoles. A previous LEGO NES set was a hit, packed with nostalgic nods to its games. The success of the Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing lines further solidified the strong synergy between the two brands.
LEGO's foray into video game-themed sets continues to expand. The Sonic the Hedgehog line is regularly updated, and a fan-proposed PlayStation 2 set is currently under review by LEGO. Other successful ventures include the Atari 2600 set, complete with miniature game recreations.
While specifics on the Game Boy set remain under wraps, fans can explore LEGO's existing Nintendo and other video game-themed collections in the meantime. The Animal Crossing line offers a diverse range of sets, providing plenty to keep builders entertained until the Game Boy release.
