Nintendo determined streak of announcing absolutely anything but Switch 2 continues today with the news its beloved Game Boy handheld is getting the Lego treatment later this year.
This won’t be the first time a Nintendo console has been immortalised in little plastic block form, of course; a Lego version of the company’s original Nintendo Entertainment System launched back in 2020 – and a lovely thing it was too.
And now it’s the Game Boy’s turn, as revealed in the briefest of video teases shared on Nintendo’s social media channels. As the teaser unfolds, we see various Lego pieces glide in seductive soft-focus across the screen, but there’s sadly no reveal of the full Lego build just yet.
Not that it should be too hard to imagine; fans have been creating their own Game Boys out of Lego for quite some time now, such as this delightful effort from video editor and video editor and Lego Masters Australia finalist Nick Lever, which was shared online last year.
Should more details surface following today’s Lego Game Boy tease surface, I’ll update this story. But for now, all we know for sure is that it’ll be arriving sometime this October.
