Guide Best LEGO Nintendo Switch Games
Every Switch LEGO game, ranked
Many games based on a Danish plastic brick system have graced Nintendo's hybrid system since launch in 2017. Looking back, we've had Switch ports of older Lego games, all-new releases, and even a couple that weren't licensed crossovers with another huge media franchise.

News Here's How The 14-Foot Tall LEGO Bowser Was Built
King Koopa-sized
San Diego Comic Con had a pretty monstrous-sized Koopa built all out of LEGO bricks to deal with back in July. We were stunned by this 14-foot tall LEGO Bowser back when it was first shown off, and now LEGO has decided to share some behind-the-scenes footage of just how dear Bowser was put together. Using the 2,807-piece Bow
Feature Our Verdict On The LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog Green Hill Zone Set
Nothing but blue skies
Ever since Sonic's last brush with the world's most famous Danish plastic (as a Level Pack set for Lego Dimensions) fans have been clamouring for a 'proper' Sonic Lego set. The release of the Super Mario line of knobbly bricks gave Nintendo aficionados plenty to spend their money on — with the excellent Lego Super Mario 64...

News Fan-Made Zelda: Breath Of The Wild LEGO Set Makes It To Final Review Stage
Brick of the Wild
It's not the first time that Zelda's Hyrule Castle has made it to the final stage of LEGO's fan-created and crowdsourced IDEAS platform, and it certainly won't be the last — anything to do with Nintendo usually gets summarily dismissed, after all. But this latest Hyrule Castle design, based on
Random Kirby's Dream Land LEGO Ideas Set Needs More Votes To Make It To Final Round
You can help!
LEGO Ideas is a place where fan-created LEGO sets — called MOCs, or "My Own Creation", by LEGO fans — can be submitted for a chance to become reality. It's where we got sets like the recent Home Alone build, the typewriter, and plenty more TV tie-ins like Central Perk from Friends, the Seinfeld
Feature LEGO Designer Reveals Why The Super Mario 64 Set Is A '?' And Not An '!'
"With ? Blocks, you never know what you’ll find inside"
The Lego Super Mario 64 ? Block got Nintendo fans all hot under the collar when it was announced on social media. Its clever folding design in particular provides a real wow moment, as the innocuous block unfolds to reveal intricate, microscale recreations of iconic levels from Super Mario...
Feature Our Verdict On The LEGO Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block
Best build on the block
At first glance, the Lego Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block looks pretty uneventful; simple, in fact, especially following on from the interactive gamification featured in the previous Lego Super Mario sets. It’s just a solid Lego block, right? If that's what you're thinking... well, you obviously haven't been keeping an...

Baron von Brunk is at it again. We know that sounds like the beginning of a video game about shooting evil guys who definitely aren't Nazis but kind of are, but Baron von Brunk is a REAL MAN, whose actual name is Julius von Brunk, and he makes LEGO transformers. He's made a LEGO Game Boy Transformer, a LEGO N64 Transformer, a
Hands On LEGO Builder's Journey Is A Tiny, Beautiful Experiment About The Joy In Play
Creative block
LEGO Builder's Journey might fly under the radar on Switch, despite bearing the name of the mega-popular brick manufacturer, purely because it's quite different to their normal fare — but we really hope it doesn't. For the past couple of decades or so, the LEGO games have been dominated by other massive franchises — Star Wars,...
News There's A Surprise New LEGO Game Coming To Switch Next Month
We're bricking it
Back in 2019, one of the launch games for Apple Arcade — the technology giant's subscription games service — was LEGO Builder's Journey, an extremely pretty little puzzle game that gives us Monument Valley-meets-LEGO vibes.
