N&B Blocks are toys that Nintendo created during the 60s to compete against the popular LEGO brand. Several different sets were released in the 1960s that proved to be very popular. Nintendo aired advertisements comparing LEGO bricks to N&B Blocks that showcased how attractive their circular pieces were when compared to the blocky LEGO bricks. The LEGO company did not appreciate this gesture and counterattacked with a lawsuit that Nintendo ultimately won. Consumers who purchased the product were unimpressed with the pieces that didn't fit together properly and Nintendo would eventually discontinue the brand. In the early 1990s the video game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins for the Game Boy featured an entire stage made out of N&B Blocks.

It has been confirmed that Gunpei Yokoi assisted in the creation of the N&B Crator set. According to a patent he apparently designed the mines that came equipped with the blocks.

Every People House set came with N&B Blocks to decorate the house with.
