The LEGO Game Boy set includes 421 pieces, and once completed, it looks just like the classic handheld game system from the late 1980s. The front comes with the +Control Pad, A and B buttons, as well as the SELECT and START buttons, which are placed in the same way as on the real device.
To make the experience of building the kit even more nostalgic, the kit comes with a Game Pak slot in the back, just like the real device. The brand doubles down with the recreation because users can also build two LEGO game cartridges, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land.
There are also different screen options in the kit. Builders can choose from three different display screens: the original Nintendo Game Boy start-up screen, a screen from Zelda, or one from Super Mario Land.
The LEGO Game Boy set is expected to become available for pre-orders beginning July 24th, 2025, with a retail date starting October 1st, 2025.
