LEGO has been teasing a new set this week via Twitter in the form of a LEGO NES console, created in collaboration with Nintendo. This exciting new set is a nostalgic nod to the classic Nintendo Entertainment System, beloved by many gaming enthusiasts. Unfortunately, once built, the NES console is not playable but still offers a full-size replica of the original NES, making it a fantastic display piece for collectors and fans alike.
What’s Included in the LEGO NES Set?
The LEGO NES set also comes complete with a gaming controller, cartridge, and TV that you can build, with Super Mario Bros displayed on the screen. This intricate set captures the essence of the original gaming experience, right down to the smallest details. The TV even features a crank that allows you to “scroll” through the Super Mario Bros game, adding an interactive element to the display.
It seems the set will consist of 2,646 pieces and is expected to cost €229 according to the Promo Bricks website. The LEGO NES console TV also has an area built in to which you can mount Mario from the existing Lego Mario set. This integration allows for a seamless blend between the new NES set and the previously released LEGO Super Mario sets, enhancing the overall play and display experience.
