LEGO to Launch Game Boy Set in 2025: Retro Fans Anticipate Detailed Replica
February 20, 2025
The Game Boy set is anticipated to include intricate details, such as movable buttons and a buildable game cartridge, appealing to retro gaming fans.
LEGO is gearing up to launch a Game Boy set on October 1, 2025, priced at $59.99, following the success of their previous collaborations with Nintendo.
This mid-size kit is expected to contain approximately 421 pieces, falling within a range of 400 to 700 pieces.
Fans can expect official photos and pre-order information to be released shortly before the launch date.
Speculation surrounds the design of the screen, with possibilities ranging from a recreation of a Mario level to a blank screen with interchangeable cartridges.
The recent leak has intensified anticipation for the set, raising questions about potential additional features, such as Lego Game Boy cartridges or accessories.
A promotional clip has provided a glimpse of the set, showcasing elements that recreate the Game Boy's directional pad and buttons.
Nintendo officially announced the collaboration for the Game Boy set last month, although detailed images were not revealed at that time.
Despite the exciting features, the piece count and price suggest that the set may not be playable, which contrasts with initial hopes for interactive elements akin to the NES Lego set.
While the Game Boy is expected to be a one-to-one replica of the original handheld device, it is likely to lack any electronic components.
The set's number is 72046, which aligns with previous leaks regarding the upcoming release.
The LEGO NES set, which set a high bar with over 2,600 pieces and interactive features, has raised expectations for the Game Boy set.
