Remember: last January, we already talked on the blog about a rumor around a LEGO Game Boy set. It's now official!

After years of rumors and fan creations, it’s confirmed: LEGO will launch on October 1, 2025 a faithful reproduction of the iconic Nintendo Game Boy, priced at €59.99. Listed under number 72046, this new piece from the LEGO x Nintendo Super Mario collection was unveiled on the brand’s official store, sparking enthusiasm among retrogaming and building fans alike.

Composed of 421 pieces, the set allows you to recreate a classic gray Game Boy, with its green monochrome screen, directional pad, and famous A/B buttons. Two iconic cartridges are included:

• Super Mario Land
• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Each cartridge can be inserted at the back of the console, and the set also includes printed inserts to slide into the screen, depicting scenes from these cult games. No mechanisms or cranks here: it’s a static but carefully designed display, made for collectors as well as nostalgic fans.

The site BrickFanatics even published a side-by-side comparison with a real Game Boy: the dimensions are almost identical, and the attention to detail is impressive.

This new set continues the ongoing collaboration between LEGO and Nintendo, already marked by tributes to Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and the NES. But this time, a true icon of portable video gaming officially joins the LEGO universe.
