A 19-second teaser on the Nintendo Today app revealed that Nintendo and LEGO are preparing a new Donkey Kong set, with the clip saying it is "rolling soon."
Few details were shown, making the announcement mainly a confirmation that the companies are extending a partnership that began in 2020.
That collaboration first centered on Super Mario and later expanded to Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda and a LEGO recreation of the original Game Boy.
