Huh! That's interesting. Kind of a throwback to the videogame-related boardgames of yesteryear. Shame it's
1. not available until the end of September, and
2. nearly $25 (!)

Probably not news but they advertised Monster Jam in my Area featuring 'Donkey Kong'

Yeah I was dragged to Las Vegas by my girlfriends family earlier this year for the Mnster Jam Finals and to my surprise they had a donkey kong truck. So I managed to get into it a little bit. :)

Ye gods, that's awesome! Except for the cost, I suppose.

I have a copy of this. Here's my quick review:
Pluses: It has two ways to play. You can play original Jenga, or you can play using the Mario and Donkey Kong pieces, which is a nice alternative.
The game is well made. The pieces are nice and bright, it looks great set up (I shall endeavor to get pics of a game in progress tomorrow). I would think for parties this would be a great game to just have set up for people to walk up to and play. Although, playing on a glass top table = not a good idea. :)
Minuses: The $25 MSRP is a bit steep. $15 would be perfect since a basic Jenga set can be had for under $10. And I am a big proponent of not paying more for licensed copies of games unless the game is substantially different (why people still pay $35 for Family Guy Monopoly when the base game is $12 and the exact same...I'll never know). The extra DK mode is nice, but not $15 nice.
It is basically just a Jenga variant, so if you are bad at Jenga, you won't get much joy out of this (I have several friends who hate dexterity games).
Also: even though it is well made, the player pieces are plastic, and the main blocks are wood...there is a minimal chance that one of the plastic pieces could get broken under a falling tower (although in my experience, players usually win the Donkey Kong variant long before the tower gets too unstable).
If anyone has questions, let me know. Like I said, I'll try and grab a few pics tomorrow so you can see the game in action.

Yeah it's cool. I got it at Nintendo World in New York. It was 19.99 not 25$? And they are very much avalabile now, in New York. There are lots of other peoples pics on flicker just type Donkey Kong Jenga.
Thanx RASK1904:rockets:

I can't remember if it was $20 or $25 to be honest. I think it was $25 though where I got it.
