Nintendo teasing Mario x LEGO partnership
- Thread starter Hours Left
- Start date
I mean Marios world basically revolves around square blocks already. I'd say he fits far better as Lego than Zelda.
Nintendo Sets I would buy:
-Lego Arwing
-Lego Samus, baby metroid + ship
-Lego Blue Falcon + Fire Stringray double pack

Lego Nintendo sets took way too long to happen.
I would have died for that 15 years ago when I was 10.
Anyway, that's super cool. Just imagine if they go on with that collab and start some Zelda sets, Metroid sets, Kirby sets, Animal Crossing sets, Splatoon sets...
I'm going to lose all my fucking money !!

Why would those need to be involved? You can make a Lego game without them. If we are rethinking game something that Nintendo develops would be way more exciting.
also it'd be a switch exclusive which i can't see WB/traveller's tales being interested in. maybe they've done that in the past though
I agree that it fits Mario better, but all of the 2D Zeldas work on a grid, would not be much of a stretch.
Probably won't be a game, but a Lego Super Mario Bros. game would absolutely make a shitzillion dollars.
It's a new ring fit like device , in order to jump in game you have to jump in real life . triple jumps and wall bouncing is supposedly really challenging
This seems to be a Labo like toy. Check the black thing between Lego Mario's legs. Looks like the side of a Switch unit without joycons.
You're absolutely right than Mario does make a good fit for LEGO in that sense. I'm more concerned with what the playsets would look like. The Zelda series has a bunch more iconic locations than the Mario series as a whole, which is expected considering what the two games are going for. The fine folks at LEGO would have to work their creative muscles a little harder with the Mario IP in order to craft sets for children and kids-at-heart alike, than they would with the Zelda series I guess?
I'm hype tho all the same. If they have an airship set i'll buy that day one. Or a tennis set with a waluigi minifig.
If it is a game, I hope it is a Lego Nintendo universe game and not just a Mario Universe game.
Sets, I wold be fine with just mario for now.... and I would so buy most of them.

Assuming this is depicted to scale - and it may well be a mockup for promotional purposes - the size of the studs that appear at the bottom make this device way too small to hold a Switch.
Surely the logical conclusion is Mario-themed Lego sets, but it does seem a highly odd way to actually depict that.
What else would a partnership between Nintendo and Lego produce? They make games and Lego sets respectively.
The resolution and refresh rate of the display areas is too low to be a Switch screen.
That's kinda my thought too, but it seems like the Switch wouldn't be tall enough to reach the eyes, which also seem to be screens...
I really doubt this has to do with Lego sets. Lego set news usually leak more than video games and if there was Mario sets we would have known. Plus, it's like impossible to have Lego pieces with LCD displays on them, that would be super expensive, what were seeing here is either belongs to Switch or a mobile phone. And since mobile phones would have compatibility issue, this is definitely a toy with a Switch in it.
I wouldn't be shocked if this is game related.
Labo VR was announced last March for an April release..and we know Nintendo must have games coming out in April/May/June.

Oh, I didn't think this teaser was showing an actual product, I thought this was just something to tease 'Mario + Lego' keeping the specifics quiet.
If it *is* just a plastic widget that you shove a Switch into... where does Lego actually come into it?

If this turns out to be a game, imagine the leg(o)s it will have on the sales charts!!!
Yes you read that right...

We will see soon enough but my guess would be a full blown Lego Mario video game that comes with Mario Minifig cover for Switch which you can interact with using Joycons.
Whatever this is, using LCD displays is an unusual thing for Lego. This is definitely not a traditional Lego product.

Nintend Direct incoming...
I mean you jest, but...
I genuinely think it's likelier this is a toy that the Switch inserts into, but it'll be interesting to see how else Lego fits in with that. Nintendo of all companies aren't going to do the straightforward licensed Lego sets - they're going to want something unique from this collaboration.
Oh. Fantastic that my two most expensive hobbies are merging. It's my financial apocalypse.
