Nintendo Fan Shares Idea for Donkey Kong LEGO Set
A fan of Nintendo's Donkey Kong has put out an idea for a new LEGO set themed after the character's arcade roots. Despite it being nearly ten years since its last mainline game, the Donkey Kong series and its characters remain popular with Nintendo fans.
