LEGO is launching its own Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Building Kit.
LEGO NES
The new product - aimed at adults - lets fans create their own classic console with LEGO bricks, featuring realistic details including an accompanying 1980s style television set to recreate 'Super Mario Bros.' experiences from their childhoods.
The LEGO NES is part of an ongoing partnership between the two brands, and the fully-working kit will include a controller, connecting cable and plug and even a Game Pak with a locking feature.
As noted, the console comes with a buildable retro TV, featuring a flat 8-bit Mario figure on the scrolling screen.
Fans can scan an included action brick with LEGO Mario from the LEGO Super Mario Starter Course, so he reacts to on-screen enemies, obstacles and power-ups just as he would have in the iconic Super Mario Bros. game.
In a statement, the LEGO Group said: "Super Mario has been a cherished figure in the gaming world for over thirty years now.
"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."
The LEGO NES will be available exclusively from LEGO Retail Stores and LEGO.com from August 1, 2020.
From 2021 it will be available also at other leading retailers around the world.
