As you may well have heard Nintendo and LEGO have been getting all chummy-chummy recently, and alongside the child-focused LEGO Super Mario which we thought was a delight, there's also something a bit more in-line with adult LEGO fans in the form of the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System.
This is a model with no shortage of complexity, boasting a working door, card slot, and even a TV which has a rolling display showing Mario jumping through a segment of World 1-1 form Super Mario Bros..
If you're keen to see this kit in actuion, make sure you give that little old video up there a watch. We build the whole blooming thing from start to finish and let you enjoy the experience second-hand. Not as good as actually building it yourself but we're offering it to you as a freebie.
You can purchase the LEGO NES for yourself here.

This looks SO GOOD, i need it.
Maybe for christmas. Only problem is, I need a new computer to.😔
Started building the tv today. I’m at bag 12 now.
My first lego set in about a year, I build 1 or 2 sets every summer. Last summer was the flintstones and steamboat willie sets. The summer before that was the 60’s batcave. The summer before that was the silent mary from pirates of the caribean dead men tell no tale.
Geez...I bought my brother all of the Lego Mario sets, but if I got him this, he'd probably just be confused on what it is lol.
BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS
The moving screen is so cool. Pricey set, but not so bad compared to other major sets. I really want it, but now is NOT a good time in terms of $$$, ha.
Nah i'll pass im not paying the high price money for that i can go and build one myself
That’s just a sped-up video, not a timelapse...
What fps are we talking about? Where's the Digital Foundry analysis?
@Khalic I...isn’t that what what a time-lapse is....?
@Al_Godoy It’s one of DF’s most disappointing games, they found it doesn’t even break 0 FPS, has some serious frame pacing issues, and requires too much setup time.
It looks good, but I don't think I will ever want to build it.
@TG16_IS_BAE Time lapse is when you capture photos/frames with some time in between. For example, I could take a photo of a plant, wait a day and then take another photo and continue doing this for a month or so. This would track the plant's growth and when I compile the photos together in a video it would look as though the plant grew in a matter of seconds.
Here's an example. (this is not made by me though)

I would love to get this set, too bad I'm broke tho lol.
Hmm....... food or LEGO NES????
@Tourtus Right, I just thought that a video is a series of photos strung together in frames, so I'm having some confusion as to why it's considered a different thing.
i loved putting together the set. well worth the money!! i really hope they come out with an SNES set next!!
Logically, I have no idea why anyone would want to own this, especially at the price.
I'm more interesting in watching this than dropping $250 to build and have one of my own. Thanks, Nintendo Life!
@TG16_IS_BAE nope, a timelapse usually has a “Static” object with minimal or very precise camera movement. Imagine the set “building itself” for example, with the camera slowly moving from one side to the other. You usually use pictures and not videos for that. It’s a technical term in photography, so it has a pretty precise definition.
I wasn’t that interested in the beginning. However, the more I see it, the more I want it!
@Khalic Cool! The more you know
Interested in buying this but there are other sets that catch my eye with much higher play value, so I don't see myself getting it unless there's a massive drop in price.
The things you have to do for the common good. You must really hate your job Al
I would get this, but it is so expensive
It's literally a non-functional Nintendo. Spend your money how you like, but seriously...
And it's $300.
You could spend that on actual Nintendo carts, and they will appreciate! And a TV is like 25 bucks at Goodwill.
