Nintendo and Lego are back with yet another enticing collaboration; this time presenting a 421-piece replica of the iconic Game Boy.<\/p>\n

Launching on 1st October 2025 at \u00a354.99 \/ $59.99, the new set will come with the Game Boy itself, two cartridges for Super Mario Land<\/a> and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening<\/a>, and lenticular ‘screens’ that make it look like you’re actually playing a game. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n

Now, thanks to Lego reviewer Tiago Catarino<\/a> over on YouTube, we’ve got our best look yet at the upcoming set. The 9-minute review provides a solid overview of the components, noting how the size of the console and cartridges is remarkably close to the real deal.<\/p>\n

We also get a glimpse at how the lenticular sleeves are inserted into the main device, along with a demonstration of how the face buttons and d-pad work \u2013 yes, you can press them. We reckon it’s only a matter of time until someone mods this thing to play real Game Boy games.<\/p>\n

Nintendo and Lego really knocked it out of the park with their NES replica set<\/a>, so we’ve got high hopes for this one. It’s also, dare we say, quite affordable compared to some of the stuff Lego has put out over the years.<\/p>\n

What do you make of the Lego Game Boy so far? Has this video convinced you to pick one up? Share your thoughts with a comment.<\/p>\n
