A 20-foot Donkey Kong arcade game is coming to a New York museum in partnership with Nintendo, and it’s the world’s largest arcade game of its kind.
The Strong National Museum of Play, based in Rochester, New York, has announced that its planned expansion will include the massive DK arcade game. The museum worked with Nintendo of America on this project by “providing input,” according to the museum. You can see a render of what it will look like in the image below.
As part of our June 30 expansion, The Strong will create the world’s largest, playable Donkey Kong arcade game. The game will stand nearly 20-feet tall and will be available for guests to play! Thank you @NintendoAmerica for providing input on the project.#DonkeyKong #Arcade pic.twitter.com/xQhsRVvCib

In a news release, The Strong National Museum Of Play’s Jon-Paul Dyson said, “Donkey Kong is a true titan in the video game world–both in terms of character size and the iconic status of the game–so it lends itself perfectly to this playful, whimsical installation.”
