Beyond retro gaming, Nintendo continues to make waves with its latest releases. The Lego Game Boy model, revealed earlier this month through a nostalgia-packed trailer, is already up for pre-order in the UK. Meanwhile, the Switch 2 has shattered records as the fastest-selling gaming hardware in US history, surpassing even the PlayStation 4’s impressive launch numbers.
