I was just thinking, is it possible for rare to us all thegay donkey kong charichters(?) they created, into their new X-box games? this occuredd to me when i thought that chunky kong, from DK64, would make a good sort of style platformer for their new home console. I cant imagine nintendo wanting any of those stupid zoo rejects, but it's a thought.

But they could of been a bit more amaginative...or it might just be that i dont like the graphics.

They should have put the exp. pack free with PD cause then most people would have it.

And nicked a hell of a lot out of it. But it's not like it's a crime or nothin'. Most developers do it, mainly because it works and people are likely to go with what they're familiar with. Or so I assume.

Nintendo wouldn't have to buy the rights for Donkey Kong because they already have them. Shigeru Miyamoto made Donkey Kong 20 years ago, therefore Nintendo own the rights. Plus DK isn't a reject where'd you get that from?

The other Kongs, if anything, are stereotypical platforming characters with very little imagination behind them. You know what I mean, right? For example, Chunky Kong is the slow, heavy dumb one.

Yawn.

I know for a fact Nintendo bought the rights to Donkey Kong and Diddy, I presume that means the entire family as well...

No Donkey Kong game will appear on X-box Banjo is now Rare's main platformer.

I liked the characters in DK64, It was just Lanky Kong who annoyed me, he slapped his own a**e :S
