Well, isn’t this gonna be a sweet Retro Video edition! You know what day is tomorrow, so I wanted to make it really really special. Special like covered in vanilla ice-cream, put some chocolate syrup on top and as finishing touch, a cherry.

As I said, the reason I’m posting Donkey Kong is not because it’s really Retro, or it is a Nintendo game, but because Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, former Executive Producer for Nintendo, was the one that didn’t give up on Videogames when everyone else thought they were dead; he proposed Donkey Kong, a game where a damsel in distress is taken captive by a huge gorilla and the hero is going to get her back. . .no matter what. (*insert Oohs here*). Needless to say, this was just the dust from the tip of the iceberg that has come to be Nintendo as of now, the hero of that time being our famous Mario (although with some minor changes).

Released for the first time in 1981, the DK arcade was a total blast; it boosted the videogame industry as never before, giving hope to us gamers of today. Now, even though Mario was the hero, DK played a very important role too (and lots of drama later with the Rare issue) so here are videos from every Nintendo console generation until today, showing us how awesome DK was, is, and will always be!

Despite the fact that a next original Donkey Kong game is as doubtful as blue-colored nacho cheese, a close attempt on doing something involving this primate to get some time on the spotlight again was made.

It’s called Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom and the machine is made by CAPCOM (surprise there) and it’s basically one of those machines where you put a coin and then use it to get more coins. . .so you can play again? Well, some people really like these type of “games”, but still, it shouldn’t be considered an Arcade, more like a Nintendo-themed entertaining machine (still looking for a better name). Still, it’s a nice attempt to revive some of this character’s aura (I still want DK Jungle Beat for the Wii).
