It was in a short video posted on Twitter Monday that the two companies began to reveal the outlines of the object. After numerous leaks, Lego officially announced its release in a statement on its website the next day.

One more controller and TV

The set consists of the brick console, but also a plug-in controller, a game cartridge as well as a cathode-ray television equipped with a small crank to scroll through animations. An interactive Mario figurine can be placed on the television for exclusive entertainment. Regarding dimensions, the reproduction of the console is a little smaller than the original.

The box will first be exclusively available in Lego stores as well as on the website of the brick toy manufacturer.
