While the thunder of the Nintendo Switch 2 at CES 2025 still rumbles, the Kyoto firm proves once again that it will not allow itself to be destabilized. Players around the world are waiting for the manufacturer to react and reveal its future console: but this is not the case. After a trailer of Xenoblade Chronicles X whose publication notification must have startled more than one impatient gamer, Nintendo has just made the most improbable announcement. What’s better than a tweet with the keywords “console” et “2025” to make us miss a heartbeat. But it’s still a failure: the series continues and the Switch 2 is left behind… by the Game Boy.
No, the manufacturer is not going to release a reissue of its flagship portable console, but we are not far from it. The partnership between Nintendo and LEGO intensifies with the reveal of a Game Boy set which will be marketed next October. The short teaser reveals nothing more than the console buttons and the kit output window, but we must admit that the timing is enough to make you laugh.
Does Nintendo have any other unlikely surprises up its sleeve before moving on to the Switch 2? At this rate, we are not safe from a new version of the Alarmo alarm clock, who knows. As a reminder, the LEGO Nintendo range was recently enriched with a The Legend of Zelda set representing the Venerable Deku Tree, as well as LEGO Mario Kart accessories. Now that the NES and the Game Boy exist in Danish brick versions, let’s hope that other legendary consoles from the Kyoto company will complete the collection.
