Good work.
That was a joke.

Rare's design. It is, in my opinion, the coolest looking one probably because it was modeled on a real gorilla.

I wouldn't mind the toothy grin if it was more realistic and less creepy, like his grin in Brawl.

For me, it'll always be the DKC Donkey, but my version of Diddy is DKC2.

This thread makes me miss Rare working for Nintendo. Maybe it'll happen again one day. I mean, Square seems to have mended their fences.

Well, Microsoft owns Rare, so unless they go under...

Still, I miss Rare working for Nintendo too. Rare made some pretty kickass games back in the day like Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, etc.

EDIT: Doh. Sorry for the mistake.

Wait... what?!? Not really

I miss Rare working with Nintendo also. Donkey Kong Country, Goldneye007 and Perfect Dark were good and now they just suck as a company. Maybe people should stop buying the new Rare games and tell them even though it probably won't bring them back in Nintendo's hands but it's still a funny idea.

I bet they're kicking themselves in the face now that Nintendo's totally smoking Microsoft.

Rare seems to be happy where they are. I read an interview a few months back where a Rare guy was saying if they had still been with Nintendo they'd probably be being forced to work on Banjo-Kazooie 6 and not all the neat experiments they've been doing lately.

I just think the smile makes him look stupid. He's ugly either way.

At least he looks somewhat cool and mysterious with that ominous smirk he usually has in Rare's official artwork. Nintendo's artwork makes him look like a moron.


Quote from: Shigeru Miyamoto
For Donkey Kong I wanted something to do with 'Kong' which kind of gives the idea of apes in Japanese and I came up with Donkey Kong because I heard that 'donkey' meant 'stupid' so I went with Donkey Kong. Unfortunately when I said that name to Nintendo of America nobody liked it and said that it didn't mean 'Stupid Ape' and they all laughed at me! But we went ahead with that name anyway.

I wonder what life is like in the alternate universe where Miyamoto looked a few entries farther down in the thesaurus and named him Ass Monkey.

Ugh...



LD, I know Donkey Kong is idiotic/unintelligent. I said "stupid" as in uncool and/or lame.

Or in Universe #12853 where Shiggy named him Sphincter Chimp?
