Nintendo Goes Bananas Over Donkey Kong

[funksobeefy]

does thinking that all those bananas are a a huge waste and should have been sent to the malnourished make me a hippie?

If only donkey kong was there he would go ape.

Thats some serious monkey business right there.

I wonder if anyone'd gonna try to ape the idea in the future.

You are so banned.

Hey, he's just complimenting the fruits of Nintendo's labor. I, personally, found his comment quite peachy, although I do admit that comparing Nintendo to monkeys is a bit like comparing apples to oranges.

...

I should probably be running now.

Dead to me. Dead to me.

Not worth going banana's over.

I wish Nintendo would quit monkeying around. They're making real donkeys out of themselves.

Oh, the irony. Still, I guess you make monkeys out of them.

Still, I'm guessing that this little even is Nintendo putting it's weight behind Kong still being a King amongst video game titles.

Hey, at least gamers will have a good source of potassium!

And congratulations to Nintendo for still proving that you can milk the same three franchises for decades and still make money. You hear that, George Lucas? Don't give up yet!

I'm so sick of hearing this. Nintendo seems to have a double standard. You let me know when Bungie, EA, Rockstar, Activision, etc. make an original game. Just because Nintendo keeps their characters and titles alive doesn't mean that they suffer from lack of creativity or expansion. Not to mention the fact that they have about 25 franchises and have had several new IP's in the new millenium.
Also, they're all consistently kickass games.
OT: The bananas in that pile look particularly fresh.

Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart / Mario Sports
Mario Party
Mario & Luigi / Paper Mario
Smash Bros.
Donkey Kong Country
Wario Land
Wario Ware
Yoshi Island
Kirby
Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Star Fox
Pokemon
Wii Series

A little more than three
Alright, DKC, Wario, Yoshi, and and the many "Mario" franchises are technically in the same continuity, but the gameplay is different, so I'd count them as seperate series.

I really don't mind. The vast majority of these are still high quality games, in my opinion, and they make an effort to change them up quite a bit in each installment.

You clearly don't know what milking means if you think that Donkey Kong Country, Wario Land, Yoshi's Island, and Star Fox are being milked. I could also argue Mario & Luigi/Paper Mario and Smash Bros.

See, Call of Duty is being milked. Every "real" sports franchise ever is being milked (stuff like FIFA, Madden, etc. Not that others aren't "real sports", I mean real as in trying to be as realistic towards an actual sports league as possible). ____ Hero is being milked, as is Rock Band to a lesser extent.

But Donkey Kong Country, Wario Land, Yoshi's Island, and Star Fox are nowhere near being milked. If not for the upcoming Donkey Kong Country returns, that series would still be dead. Wario Land has had only 5 games in 15 years, the latest coming out in 2008. Yoshi's Island has a huge 2 games in the series. And Star Fox has 5 games in the series, with an upcoming 6th game for the 3DS that isn't here yet. The last game in the series that has already been released came out in 2006. These four series are nowhere close to being milked. If they were animals, not only would they not be cows, they would be an animal that cannot lactate at all.

Oh, Nintendo. will you ever get old?

Yes. You already did.

After remaking the same 6 games one hundred and fifty-eight times.
