In a powerful homage to the golden age of handheld gaming, Nintendo and The LEGO Group have officially unveiled the LEGO Game Boy—a detailed, near life-sized replica of the original 1989 Game Boy system. The Nintendo LEGO Game Boy set, crafted from 421 pieces, is already available for pre-order and will hit shelves worldwide on October 1, 2025.
This LEGO creation isn’t just a model; it’s a love letter to an era that shaped portable gaming. From its +Control Pad and A/B buttons to a functional-looking contrast dial and volume wheel, the LEGO Game Boy is teeming with features that fans of the original console will instantly recognize. The nostalgic design has been meticulously recreated at a near 1:1 scale, offering both a fun build and a collectible display piece.
More Than Just Bricks—It’s an Experience
Beyond replicating the look of the original handheld, the Nintendo Game Boy LEGO set includes two swappable brick-built Game Paks: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land. Builders can even choose between different screen displays, including the classic Nintendo startup screen or a game-specific display, bringing an interactive and dynamic touch to this collector’s item.
Whether you’re a longtime LEGO fan or a die-hard retro gaming enthusiast, this set delivers a layered experience. It’s part of LEGO’s growing lineup aimed at adults who crave hands-on, creative expression through builds rooted in pop culture and nostalgia.
Designed for Builders of All Levels
Don’t worry if you’re new to LEGO—the LEGO Game Boy model building set comes with clear, step-by-step instructions, making it a welcoming project for beginners and seasoned builders alike. It’s also a standout gift for gamers, collectors, and tech history buffs looking for a unique way to celebrate their love for gaming.
The official Nintendo LEGO Gameboy set is now available for pre-order via LEGO.com, LEGO stores, and select global retailers. Given the success of past collaborations between LEGO and Nintendo—like the LEGO NES and LEGO Super Mario—this set is expected to be in high demand.
A Perfect Blend of Play and Display
This release not only revives the look and feel of the original Game Boy, but it also celebrates its cultural legacy. The LEGO Game Boy isn’t just a toy—it’s a centerpiece for anyone who grew up with the beeps and chiptunes of Nintendo’s handheld legend.
With its authentic detailing and homage to legendary games, the Nintendo LEGO Game Boy set is poised to become one of 2025’s must-have collectibles.
