Nintendo and LEGO have teamed up to produce some fantastic LEGO Nintendo sets. Last year alone saw the release of the interactive Mario and Yoshi set and the first-ever LEGO Legend of Zelda set. While these are excellent, the potential for LEGO sets based on other iconic Nintendo franchises remains largely untapped.
Currently, the market is dominated by a wide array of Mario sets (including Donkey Kong) and several Animal Crossing sets. This leaves many other beloved franchises underrepresented. As a dual fan of LEGO and Nintendo, I yearn for more variety. To my fellow enthusiasts, I ask: Which Nintendo franchise should be next in line for the LEGO treatment?
AnswerSee ResultsWhat Do You Think?The recent Switch 2 announcement keeps the Nintendo hype train rolling. We can likely anticipate more LEGO Nintendo sets, fueled by continued investment in films (the new Mario movie and the eventual live-action Zelda adaptation) and upcoming Switch games. What sets might we realistically see in 2025 and beyond? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Personally, I believe a Metroid line would be incredibly compelling. With Metroid Prime 4 on the horizon, it presents a prime opportunity for stunning LEGO builds. Additionally, I'd love to see genuine LEGO Pokémon sets, rather than the existing MEGA sets. However, this may be unlikely due to Mattel's existing Pokémon licensing agreement.
