Macaluso posted:The story of Donkey Kong is basically, they stole his bananas and he has to get them back. That's his entire motivation for everything and I love it. It's the same reason I love Kirby's "story" is because it's always like, someone stole his slice of cake or some poo poo and he wants it back! Honestly, look at that Ape's tie. The Kong mafia has been going strong for years.

It's fun to watch, but I feel bad for the guy who's gotta deal with nonstop hate while he does this promotional thing for Nintendo. But I guess, no press is bad press.

The people getting so mad about this silly rear end promotion for their toy is pretty funny. I dunno why it makes people so mad. It's silly and dumb and inoffensive. It's not like the NOA twitter account was really doing much else

January NPD figures were 48k for WiiU and 143k for Xbox One. So pretty near a 3 to 1 ratio between Xbox One and Wii U.

This is pretty entertaining both actually and in the meta sense. The anger over it is glorious as well as what Nintendo is posting.

They're Nintendo Computer Machines, or NCMs, and they're powered by Star processors and fairy dust.  surc posted:What do you call a donkey kong promotion that seems like it was made up by a bunch of meth-heads? I can't wait for them to come up with a "Crunk Kong" to keep up with the "kewl kidz" of today. Kuuenbu fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Feb 20, 2014 |

Toady posted:Is Cranky Kong a popular character? Why is Nintendo focusing on him? Cause it's silly and he's a new character in a game that's literally coming out tomorrow edit: The fact that you apparently can only play as him in co-op sucks though. I'm never playing Tropical Freeze with another person. I got mad enough at DKCR doing some of the harder levels on my own
