Lego Unveils the Game Boy Set: A Nostalgic Tribute to Classic Gaming
In a thrilling announcement, Lego has finally unveiled its highly anticipated Lego Game Boy set, set to release on October 1. Priced at $59.99, this nostalgic collection comes with 421 pieces, delighting fans and collectors alike.
The set includes two iconic Lego Game Boy cartridges, representing The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land, ensuring that the gaming giants are well-represented. Additionally, players will get to enjoy one of three interchangeable screens featured on the handheld device.
To commemorate this exciting launch, The Lego Group has crafted a tribute to the nostalgia of classic gaming by recreating an iconic Nintendo Game Boy commercial, making waves on social media.
Building on a Legacy
This Game Boy set marks Lego’s second venture into the world of Nintendo consoles, following the success of the Lego NES released in August 2020. That impressive model came with its own retro television set and a scrolling Super Mario Bros scene, priced at $229.99.
Lego’s collaboration with Nintendo has opened a treasure trove for fans, featuring sets that delve into beloved franchises like Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart. Last year also saw the rollout of a Lego set themed around Super Nintendo’s Super Mario World, further expanding this dynamic partnership.
With the addition of the Game Boy set, Lego continues to charm gamers and collectors while celebrating the rich history of handheld gaming. It’s a reminder of the joy and creativity that these beloved titles inspire, making it a must-have for enthusiasts.
