Summary
- Nintendo has shared a teaser for an upcoming Lego Game Boy.
- The set will be released in October 2025.
- Nothing but a close-up of some of its buttons and bricks has been shown so far.
The video game world is waiting for Nintendo to tell us something about the Switch 2, but it seems Nintendo isn’t ready for that, not yet. It has revealed a very different console coming our way later this year to tide us over, though. A Lego Game Boy, launching in October, that Nintendo shared the first teaser for out of nowhere on its social media channels.
The teaser is a very short one that shows some bricks falling through the air. First some grey Lego, then the purple buttons found on the original Game Boy, and finally a black Lego D-pad. If you hadn’t figured out what exactly was being teased by that point, and in fairness you might not have since there’s been no indication that this was even a thing, the teaser then ends with Lego and Game Boy logos followed by the release month.

Lego has released more than 100 Lego sets today with some notable additions to its massive list of options among them.
The finer details regarding what exactly this is going to be have not been revealed. There is already one Lego Nintendo console on the market. One of Lego and Nintendo’s first forays together outside of its growing toy brick Mushroom Kingdom was the Lego NES set. Lego’s take on the original Nintendo console includes a toy TV which, once the set is complete, has a crank you can turn to make the ’80s-era Mario jump and move along the level.

Who Even Needs A Switch 2?
The most likely scenario is that the Lego Game Boy is of a similar ilk. That you will have a Lego version of a Game Boy, likely to scale, with a pre-determined image on the screen and perhaps some sort of mechanism that makes elements in that otherwise still image work. However, and maybe it’s just my imagination running away with me, maybe there’s a chance this particular Lego Nintendo set is something more.
I’m not saying we’re about to get a Lego Game Boy we can load our old cartridges into and play, but maybe something that makes the set playable somehow. I realize how ludicrous that sounds as I type this and that the set will either have to be a pre-made Lego Game Boy with a game you can play or a set that you build yourself that just looks like a Game Boy rather than acts like one.
This is Lego and Nintendo we’re talking about, two of the most imaginative toy and game companies on the planet, so if there’s a way to do it, they’ll figure it out. While we know next to nothing about the set, I’m going to go ahead and hope for what might be impossible.
