Surprise: We're getting another new Nintendo console this year (sort of). On July 23, Lego unveiled a new Nintendo Game Boy building set that's a near 1:1 recreation of the classic handheld gaming system from 1989. It's priced at $59.99, making it $20 cheaper than the Switch 2's signature launch game.
You can preorder the Lego Game Boy set now at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart ahead of its formal release this fall. It was initially available directly through the Lego Store, too, but preorders sold out there early Thursday morning, according to @Wario64, a social media account that tracks video game deals and drops.

Lego also throws in interchangeable Game Paks for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land. You even swap out the Lego Game Boy's screen to display its start screen or a 2D screencap from one of the aforementioned game cartridges.
