The voice of Donkey Kong in the Saturday Supercade has passed away. :( Good night, sweet prince.

...I don't know who he is. But remember that old saying, celebrities die in threes (or fours as we recently had). So I half-expect some other Mario-related guy to kick the Wario bucket next month. Maybe Andrew Sabiston (voice of Yoshi in the SMW cartoon) or Harvey Atkin (King Koopa in the cartoons). Maybe Dennis Hopper (King Koopa in the movie).

I only saw one episode of the DK Saturday Supercade, but I still feel sad.

According to this Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer...

[Transformers guy from Robot Chicken] "What did I just tell you?"

Appearing in a show called "Crash" probably isn't the best omen either. Geez, first Lou Albano, then Soupy Sales, and now the guy who did the Doom boxart. Love that each topic has a similar name to find them easily.

I wish I was old enough to have nostalgia for these shows. Nonetheless, I'm sure he'll be missed.

I hope the random deaths of people involved in Nintendo related TV shows doesn't become some kind of weird trend.

Now that you said it, some random forum (or 4chan) will probably do just that.

No, I don't have anything useful to contribute to this topic, why do you ask?

"Trend", as in people continuously making mention of Nintendo-related actors dying or "trend", as in Nintendo-related actors dying in rapid succession? (presumably as a result of raiding Tutankoopa's tomb).
