Lego expands their Nintendo line with a NES console and TV
The Lego Group and Nintendo have officially announced a new set of collectable Lego, which features a NES console, controller and an old school TV, complete with moving picture of Mario levels, that you can interact with.
In addition to the set looking amazing on its own, it will also work with the Lego Super Mario figure, who can stand on the top of the tv and will play music to match the on screen worlds that appear below.
“Super Mario has been a cherished figure in the gaming world for over thirty years now,” said Maarten Simons, Creative Lead on LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System™, the LEGO Group. “Many adults still fondly remember that first time they saw Mario leap across the small screen, even if the graphics were a lot simpler than they are today. With the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System, we’re letting them truly indulge in that nostalgia, recreating one of the most-loved consoles of all time so they can see the Super Mario from their childhoods once again – and even to share the experience of gaming in the 1980s with their own children.”
Available from Lego Stores and Lego Online only, at least until 2021, this 2600+ piece set, will set you back $349.99 in Australia, or if you are from New Zealand $399.99.
