Nintendo's Latest Collaboration: A LEGO Game Boy!
Nintendo and LEGO have teamed up again, this time creating a LEGO Game Boy! Launching October 2025, this follows the successful LEGO NES release.
While exciting news for fans of both brands, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked considerable speculation regarding the Nintendo Switch 2. Many users jokingly interpreted the Game Boy LEGO set as a cryptic reveal of the next console.
Although details on the Switch 2 remain scarce, Nintendo President Furukawa confirmed in May 2024 that a successor announcement would be made within the current fiscal year (ending March). Patience is required!
Pricing for the LEGO Game Boy is yet to be announced, but further information is promised in the coming weeks or months.
