DONKEY KONG

HE'S THE LEADER OF THE JUNGLE
YOU KNOW HIM WELL
HE'S FINALLY BACK
TO KICK SOME TAIL

Not sure why he's called Donkey Kong anyway.

**Moogy** · 03-14-2004, 09:54 AM

Shigeru Miyamoto looked up "stubborn" in a Japanese-English dictionary and one of the synonyms (or something) was "donkey".

Omeganitros · 03-14-2004, 08:54 PM

...Stubborn?

**Freak83** · 03-15-2004, 01:43 PM

It was actually a typo.

We were discussing this back in grade 1 or 2 or something like that, I just remember my teacher bringing up the subject.

"Has anyone here ever played 'Donkey Kong'"?

"Yes"

"Have you ever wondered why it's called Donkey Kong when it's actually a monkey?"

"..."

"The person responsible for typing it in couldn't really speak engish, he was basically typing off what was given to him, he hit the 'D' key instead of the 'M' key by mistake, therefore it's called Donkey Kong."

THIS KONG'S GOT STYLE
THIS KONG'S GOT GRACE
...THIS KONG HAS A FUNNY FACE
HE CAN HANDSTAND, WHEN HE NEEDS TO
...(GRRR WHAT WAS IT)

**lightdarkness** · 03-15-2004, 02:37 PM

uhh, interesting?

Omeganitros · 03-15-2004, 10:41 PM

Oh.

*Divine Elightenment!*

**TehWhack** · 03-16-2004, 01:43 AM

Moogy is right, freak is wrong. Never trust school teachers folks.

Kong = Ape
Donkey = Stubborn

P.S. - Is anyone anticipating Donkey Konga? I sure am, even though it's going to be the easiest game ever.

Omeganitros · 03-16-2004, 12:20 PM

I think Rare owns DK, and they left Nintendo, so I dont think there will be a Donkey Konga.

Are you a nintendo fan? because you should know that Nintendo has always owned the rights to Donkey Kong. Rare is just a company that helped make the games. Nintendo is still the only system that can produce games with Donkey Kong in them, so if you hear someone say "There's going to be a Donkey Kong for XBOX" do me a favour and punch them in the face K?

Anyways, Nintendo and Namco are developing Donkey Konga

Omeganitros · 03-16-2004, 02:32 PM

Oh, goodie. DK64 made me totally lose faith that any future DK game would be any good. But with Namco, it just might be good.
