Nintendo and LEGO have again collaborated, but this time it’s more exciting and also unexpected. The LEGO Game Boy has now been officially announced, and it’s coming in October 2025. After doing the LEGO NES and Mario sets, both companies are turning their attention to one of Nintendo’s most historic handhelds. It brings both bricks and memory together in a new way.
Game Boy Shaped LEGO Coming in Collaboration
LEGO Game Boy is being created as a near-perfect replica of the first Game Boy that was released in 1989. It uses around 850 pieces, which all come inside the box. When the builder completes it, the shape and size become very similar to the original Game Boy. One very interesting part is the moving cartridge slot, which lets a small LEGO “Super Mario Land” cartridge go in and come out. This small thing adds a nice, real feel to the model.
Even though the device doesn’t power on, LEGO includes a printed tile that acts like a screen. The screen shows green colors, just like the old display, and a small Mario jumping is also there. Buttons like A, B, and Start, all been made to look and feel just like the real ones.

For those Who Want to Build and Remember Also
This new LEGO set is under the LEGO Icons series, which is usually made for adult builders and gaming fans who enjoy remembering past consoles. The designers have worked together with Nintendo so they can capture the right shape and size. It even comes with a buildable version of Game Link Cable, something which was used for connecting two Game Boys in the past.
There's also a small foldable stand that can hold up the LEGO Game Boy once built. The box is made in retro-style packaging that tries to copy the original Game Boy retail box. This makes it more special for those who want to collect and display it.
