In his latest post on social media, le Super Smash Bros. Ultime director revealed a LEGO set he received for his 54th birthday earlier this week. It’s not just any old Lego set, non plus – it’s the Lego NES! In a follow up post, he chose to highlight the secret underground level hidden inside this build.

If you are curious to know more about this particular Lego set, it was released back in 2020 for £209.99 / $229.99 and is packed with all sorts of realistic and entertaining details – including an opening slot for the Game Pak, as well as a controller and a Lego version of the super Mario Bros. cartouche.
