Lego and Nintendo team up for the Lego Gameboy

Lego She continues to grow her connections to the video game industry. The last time they did a standalone special, it was Their second Horizon collectionbased on the game Lego Horizon Adventures.

Although this next outing remains kid-friendly, it’s for something much older – and they’ll be working with a completely different company.

NintendoGame boy It is the subject of this new collection, and is scheduled to be released at some point October of this year.

Nintendo announced the collaboration through a post on X, including a trailer for the project.

The teaser doesn’t show any images of the set – presumably it still needs to be designed – but it does show us some of the parts that will likely be used in its construction.

Among them, we see a few small tiles, two of which seem to be well suited to represent buttons. But the Big Column, a long column with a single nail at the top, indicates that Lego will be following a modern, now-standardized technology with this build.

In an effort to keep the surfaces smooth, Lego will almost certainly use the “buttons not on top” approach, using the side of the column to create a large, smooth surface without the use of tiles.

The extent of Nintendo’s involvement in the project is unknown, but is likely minimal.

Lego continues to build relationships with game studios

Those with keen eyes may have already noticed that this isn’t the first time Lego has released a line of gaming consoles. To tap into some nostalgia, Lego has already done just that The Atari 2600 was released.

Lego has always been at least adjacent to video games, but at the time it was largely limited to games made by Lego itself.

Although they were a bit slow to rise, as Mega Bloks had already overtaken them, Lego has since fully embraced the world of video games. They have launched entire lines of collections for Monitoring, MinecraftAnd the list never stops growing.

Lego seems to be aiming for a healthy mix of modern products and nostalgia, where toys or products aren’t exactly kid-friendly.

But with a condition like this, they won’t have any problem with Nintendo.

Fans of the set will have to wait a while for proper release images and a deadline, but for now, the Lego Game Boy is on the way.
