Since then, several successive leaks have helped paint a clearer picture of the project. The first wave of information surfaced in late June via the a_claybrick and Brick Built Blogs accounts, suggesting a 1,367-piece set priced at around $200. On July 10, an image showing the front of the box appeared online, confirming that the model is indeed based on the original 1981 Donkey Kong arcade cabinet.\n\n![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/9957fe5afc25c0b40a0c4902b7ec7a6d_lego-donkey-kong-1-png.png)\n*Nintendo's teaser, which first appeared online about a month ago. Image: Nintendo.*\n\n### A faithful arcade cabinet that may actually be playable\n\nAccording to the leaked information, the set faithfully recreates the look of the original arcade cabinet, featuring brick-built versions of Jumpman (who would later become Mario), Donkey Kong, and Lady, along with a display depicting the game's iconic girders-and-ladders stage. Several leaks also mention functional play features, including a lever that drops barrels and a joystick that lets Jumpman jump, similar to the mechanical functions found in previous LEGO sets such as the LEGO Pinball Machine.\n\nFor comparison, this set would sit below both the LEGO Pinball Machine ($229.99, 2,274 pieces) and the LEGO Pac-Man Arcade ($270, 2,651 pieces), making it a slightly more affordable addition to LEGO's growing lineup of arcade cabinet recreations.\n\n### Reportedly launching on August 1\n\nAccording to multiple sources, the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set is expected to launch on August 1, 2026, with a retail price of $199.99. Neither LEGO nor Nintendo has officially announced the set yet, but the increasing number of detailed leaks suggests that an official reveal may not be far away.\n\n### Take it with a grain of salt\n\nAs with any leak, none of this information has been officially confirmed at the time of writing. However, the details have been reported by several well-known gaming and LEGO outlets, with multiple sources corroborating the same information, adding to its credibility. Still, the rumored price and the cabinet's playable mechanics should be treated as speculation until LEGO and Nintendo make an official announcement, which could happen in the coming days.\n\n*Sources: [Nintendo Life](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/07/donkey-kong-arcade-set-surfaces-in-new-lego-leak-heres-a-first-look), [9to5Toys](https://9to5toys.com/2026/07/10/first-look-new-nintendo-lego-donkey-kong-arcade/), [Dexerto](https://www.dexerto.com/lego/200-donkey-kong-lego-arcade-machine-leaked-and-it-even-has-moving-barrels-3378612/), [GoNintendo](https://gonintendo.com/contents/60992-nintendo-teases-lego-donkey-kong-set-update), [Retro Dodo](https://retrododo.com/upcoming-lego-donkey-kong-arcade-set-leaks/)*\n\n[Enjoying the Recalbox team's work?

Plusieurs fuites évoquent également un système de jeu fonctionnel, avec un levier permettant de faire tomber des barils et un joystick pour faire sauter Jumpman, dans l'esprit des sets LEGO à fonctions mécaniques déjà vus sur d'autres références comme le [flipper LEGO](https://www.lego.com/fr-fr/product/arcade-pinball-machine-11374?cmp=KAC-INI-GOOGEU-GO-FR_GL-FR-RE-PS-BUY-ESCAPE-ICONS-SHOP-BP-MM-ALL-CIDNA00000-NOVELTIES-ICONS&ef_id=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq1TY2rTyeRYhgkhh3Nu8EhlctFj3PYEhIdZcV9hngIWB-Wp5HfPScRoCmE4QAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&gad_campaignid=20566185345&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq1TY2rTyeRYhgkhh3Nu8EhlctFj3PYEhIdZcV9hngIWB-Wp5HfPScRoCmE4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&s_kwcid=AL%21933%213%21734977684701%21%21%21g%21%21%2120566185345%21157639170230).\n\nÀ titre de comparaison, ce set se situerait en dessous du flipper LEGO (229,99$, 2 274 pièces) et du set [Pac-Man Arcade](https://www.lego.com/fr-fr/product/pac-man-arcade-10323?cmp=KAC-INI-GOOGEU-GO-FR_GL-FR-RE-PS-BUY-ESCAPE-ICONS-SHOP-BP-MM-ALL-CIDNA00000-NOVELTIES-ICONS&ef_id=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq3AiMH2nxiw2alcHnre8PH6UkGI4JuU1KeHhyuYBn882aiOgseDDFBoCIrkQAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&gad_campaignid=20566185345&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9szSBhBNEiwAC57Sq3AiMH2nxiw2alcHnre8PH6UkGI4JuU1KeHhyuYBn882aiOgseDDFBoCIrkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&s_kwcid=AL%21933%213%21734977684701%21%21%21g%21%21%2120566185345%21157639170230) (270$, 2 651 pièces), ce qui en ferait une référence légèrement plus accessible dans la gamme des reproductions de bornes d'arcade.\n\n### Une sortie annoncée pour le 1er août\n\nD'après les différentes fuites, ce set LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade serait commercialisé dès le 1er août 2026, au prix de 199,99 dollars. Aucune annonce officielle n'a pour l'instant été faite par LEGO ou Nintendo, mais la multiplication des fuites précises laisse penser qu'une officialisation pourrait intervenir rapidement.\n\n### À prendre avec précaution\n\nComme pour toute fuite, ces informations restent non confirmées à l'heure où nous publions cet article. Elles sont toutefois reprises par de nombreux médias spécialisés et s'appuient sur plusieurs sources concordantes, ce qui renforce leur crédibilité. Mais ne prenez pas pour argent comptant le prix et le fait que la borne soit jouable, une officialisation Lego / Nintendo nous éclairera sur tout cela vraisemblablement dans les prochains jours.\n\n*Sources : [Nintendo Life](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/07/donkey-kong-arcade-set-surfaces-in-new-lego-leak-heres-a-first-look), [9to5Toys](https://9to5toys.com/2026/07/10/first-look-new-nintendo-lego-donkey-kong-arcade/), [Dexerto](https://www.dexerto.com/lego/200-donkey-kong-lego-arcade-machine-leaked-and-it-even-has-moving-barrels-3378612/), [GoNintendo](https://gonintendo.com/contents/60992-nintendo-teases-lego-donkey-kong-set-update), [Retro Dodo](https://retrododo.com/upcoming-lego-donkey-kong-arcade-set-leaks/)*\n\n[Vous appréciez le travail de l’équipe Recalbox ?
