Lego and Nintendo officially reveal new Donkey Kong set

Nintendo and Lego are teaming up again for a new release Nintendo and The Lego Group have partnered for dozens of video game-themed sets over the years, ranging from Super Mario to The Legend of Zelda to Animal Crossing. Lego has also delivered buildable brick-based versions of the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy. And now, something new from the Nintendo world is coming soon: Donkey Kong. On Thursday, Lego and Nintendo announced that Lego Donkey Kong will be "rolling soon," posting a very brief teaser video to social media that hints at what's to come. "There's plenty more where this came from!" Lego said in an Instagram post. While the full reveal of Lego Donkey Kong is still forthcoming, the shot of a rolling, pixelated barrel offers a clear indicator about the theme of the new set: classic arcade Donkey Kong. The Lego rolling through that video is modeled after the orange and blue barrels of the original 1981 Donkey Kong, implying that the set will be inspired by Nintendo's breakthrough arcade game. One could easily see Lego and Nintendo delivering a buildable version of the beginning stage of Donkey Kong, with barrels that actually roll down a series of platforms. If
