It feels like the Nintendo Switch 2 could be revealed any day now, but it seems Nintendo has a very different kind of console announcement on its mind.On Thursday, January 9, the Japanese company lifted the curtain on a Lego model Game Boy.
According to an X / Twitter post, fans will be able to “build the classic Nintendo System in Lego form” with a new set releasing in October 2025.The post features a 15-second teaser video, which gives us our first look at some of the pieces that might be included in the set.
We see two flat grey tiles, plus a much taller single stud piece.There are also two smooth circular purple tiles, presumably representing the iconic purple buttons of the original Game Boy.
We then get a glimpse of a plus-shaped piece, most likely the Lego interpretation of the handheld’s D-pad.This is certainly not the post that many wanted to see, especially those who have been feverishly refreshing the Nintendo social media accounts in the hopes of seeing a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal.
Even so, I think it’s pretty cool and will probably be keen to pick up the model — if it’s a reasonable price.The upcoming Lego Game Boy is not the first collaboration between Nintendo and the Danish toy company.
