Re-live your handheld gaming days with new LEGO Game Boy [News]
It’s barely been a few months since Nintendo launched the Switch 2, continuing their long line of handheld (well, kind of) gaming consoles. Of course, it all started in 1989 (or 1990 in the US) with the Game Boy. The latter is the subject of a new set in the LEGO Super Mario line: 72046 Game Boy, a 421-piece set with a price tag of US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99. Two buildable Game Pak cartridges are included: Super Mario Land and, although this is listed as part of the Super Mario theme, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening also makes an appearance. You can swap the screen out to reflect which cartridge you’ve got in there, too! You can pick up this icon of gaming from this October 1.

No press release for this one, but here’s LEGO’s own product description instead.
Recapture the excitement you felt when you first played on the Game Boy with this LEGO® model building kit for adults (72046). A fantastic gift for fans of Nintendo® video games, the collectible set features a near 1:1 scale brick-built replica of the original Game Boy handheld game system from Nintendo. Press the +Control Pad, A and B Buttons, and SELECT and START, just like on the real system. And the model has other iconic Game Boy details, including the contrast adjustment and volume dial and the Game Pak slot. Customise your display with interchangeable, brick-built The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening or Super Mario Land Game Boy Game Paks and corresponding lenticular screens (or a Nintendo start screen). Place your creation on the buildable display stand to complete a nostalgic display.
