THE LEGO Group and the Nintendo take a step beyond their partnership for LEGO Super Mario with the new LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System and an 80s-style TV that will allow fans to recreate the gameplay of Super Mario Bros. and revive memories of the late NES.
The LEGO Group has announced the launch of the LEGO® Nintendo Entertainment System ™ (NES) construction kit, which will allow adult fans to recreate their NES system with LEGO bricks. The new set, the latest in the partnership between LEGO and Nintendo, will bring a model of an NES to build, full of realistic details, including an 80s-style television, so that nostalgic gamers and LEGO fans can recreate your childhood experiences playing Super Mario Bros. ™.
This ad will take adult fans on a journey filled with nostalgia by building a mechanically functional version of one of the most popular consoles ever made of LEGO bricks. The new NES construction kit will include a remote with a cable and its connection and even a slot to insert the game cassette, with the option to lock. The console comes with a retro TV to build, with a two-dimensional 8-bit Mario figure on the rolling screen. Fans can scan an Action Piece included in LEGO® Mario ™ in the Starter Pack: Adventures with Mario, so that it reacts to on-screen enemies, obstacles, power-ups, just as it would in the iconic Super Mario Bros game .
“Super Mario has been a celebrated figure in the world of video games for over 30 years”Says Maarten Simons, Creative Lead of the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System ™, of the LEGO Group. “Many adults still have memories of the first time they saw Mario jumping on the small screen, even though the graphics are much simpler than the current ones. With the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System, we are giving them the opportunity to embrace that nostalgia, recreating one of the most beloved consoles of all time to review the Super Mario of their childhood and be able to share this experience, of what games were in the years 80, with their children. ”
The LEGO Group and Nintendo announced a partnership this year, bringing a LEGO Super Mario universe to life, through the Initial Pack set – Adventures with Mario (the only one that brings the LEGO Mario figure) that features a wide variety of instant motion reactions , color and action pieces. This set was followed in May by a series of Power-Up Packs and in June by the presentation of the entire range of Expansion Sets and Collectible Character Packs.
