Lego Donkey Kong Arcade Set Leaks at $200, Eyeing August Debut

Q: After Donkey Kong, which classic Nintendo arcade game is next in line for a major Lego tribute?

There is no confirmed “next” classic Nintendo arcade game after Donkey Kong. The leaked Donkey Kong set appears to be the next major Lego x Nintendo arcade tribute, timed to the game’s 45th anniversary and positioned as a retro collector display. But neither the news report nor the supporting material identifies any follow-up project centered on another classic Nintendo arcade title. That means any suggestion about what comes next would be speculation rather than reporting. Nintendo’s early arcade catalog includes historically important games such as Mario Bros., Popeye, and Sheriff, and Mario Bros. would be an obvious candidate because of its brand recognition and direct link to Nintendo’s flagship character. Still, there is no evidence in the available material that Lego has chosen it or any other arcade game. So the factual answer is simple: after Donkey Kong, no next-in-line Nintendo arcade Lego tribute has been announced or reliably leaked yet.

$200 leaked pricing and an August release window have surfaced for an unannounced Lego Donkey Kong arcade machine, with images posted on the r/Legoleak subreddit.
The 1,367-piece build appears to recreate the 1981 Donkey Kong cabinet and includes a joystick, buttons and layered interior elements that hint at interactive mechanisms.
That timing roughly matches Donkey Kong's 45th anniversary, tying the set to the original arcade game that introduced Donkey Kong, Jumpman and Pauline.
The leak extends Lego and Nintendo's expanding partnership after Super Mario and Game Boy sets, as Nintendo also pushes the Donkey Kong brand through Bananza and a rumored animated film.
