A Game Console Or a Time Machine? LEGO Game Boy Brings Back Childhood

LEGO Game Boy Set Revives Handheld Gaming Nostalgia

Fans of classic gaming can now relive their childhood in a creative way with LEGO Game Boy. LEGO has unveiled a detailed brick-built model of the original Nintendo Game Boy system. With a near 1:1 scale and 421 LEGO pieces, this collectible set blends creativity with nostalgia.

A Tribute to the 90s Handheld Revolution

First launched in 1989, the Nintendo Game Boy became a symbol of portable gaming. Now, LEGO brings that iconic device back in brick form. The model includes all the hallmark features: the A and B buttons, +Control Pad, and even the SELECT and START keys.

You’ll also find a contrast dial, volume wheel, and a slot for Game Paks — just like the original.

Comes with Classic Games in LEGO Style

The LEGO Game Boy set goes one step further. It includes two interchangeable brick-built Game Paks: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land. You can even choose which screen to display — a classic start-up screen or an in-game scene from the included titles.

Made for Adult Fans, But Fun For All

This LEGO Game Boy is part of LEGO’s range for adult builders. With detailed instructions, even those new to LEGO can enjoy assembling it. The finished model works as both a shelf display and a personal throwback to a golden era in gaming.

Pre-orders Open Now, Shipping Starts in October

The LEGO Game Boy model building set is available for pre-order from July 24, 2025. Global shipping begins October 1, 2025. You can purchase it from LEGO.com, LEGO stores, and leading retailers around the world.

This release joins a growing list of LEGO sets designed to honor pop culture and tech history. For gaming fans, this is not just a model — it’s a pocket-sized journey back in time.
