The Best LEGO Nintendo Sets for All Ages to Enjoy

LEGO's successful Nintendo collaboration has yielded some of their most creative and accessible sets. Initially, LEGO targeted children with interactive Super Mario playsets and adults with nostalgic replicas. However, the line between child and adult sets has blurred, with newer sets showcasing more complexity and whimsical designs, respectively. This cross-generational appeal reflects Nintendo's family-friendly branding.
