Nintendo officially announces new console… but it’s built with Lego

Coming in October 2025

Published

Earlier this week, Nintendo stole the show at CES 2025 without even being part of the annual event. Today, the company is once again making headlines outside of the conference. Finally, it’s official news about an official console. Well… sort of.

Nintendo has announced a new collaboration with Lego. Coming October 2025, an upcoming set will portray the classic Game Boy in bricks. Based solely on the short teaser, it’s only for the original console. The video shows off the icon’s gray case, black D-Pad, and magenta A + B buttons.

Unfortunately, the teaser does not reveal what the set actually looks like. However, if Nintendo’s other collaborations with Lego are any indication, the set should look realistic and life-sized. Previously, the two companies created a replica of the original NES. Besides that, Lego also has numerous sets depicting characters from the Super Mario franchise.

Now, the new set will delight Lego collectors. But it might not be the news sought after by most of Nintendo’s fans. For the past year, every fan has clamored for more details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The company hasn’t revealed anything, though. In fact, it’s gotten so bad that a 3D-printed mockup of the unannounced console was the star of CES 2025 even without Nintendo’s official involvement.
