Yet, we still don't have a new game. Donkey Kong is and always will be my favorite IP over everything else in the gaming world.

The ones on the wii-u were pretty good though

so has grand theft auto.........5

GTA5 had sold upward of 130 million noob. It's also been on Gamepass and PSNow plenty of times...... Noob.

Moving away from my stupidity above, games operate different than they did when DK hit the arcades. In Pac-man's prime, they made 2 billion plus in the arcades. This is 1980s money. Different time, different audience. It's like when people see a movie break new box office records. While cool, no movie has come close to toppling Gone with the Wind as the most popular movie to ever hit theaters.... but, movies stayed in theaters for years.

refocusedman1320d ago

I'm not really getting your point. i know that GTA5 has sold over 130 million copies since it released 8 yrs ago......... meaning that it has well surpassed 65 million. The fact that it's been on gamepass and PSnow has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of copies that it sold (so I'm not really sure why you had that as a point). prior to trying to portray yourself as the smartest person in the room how abt you make relevant points. Noob

roadkillers1320d ago

Haha, there was no point. I said that through boredom and trying to sound smart... while admitting the stupidity. No worries man, game happy!

I've been following this, it's a shame as Billy is a POS and needs karma, but karl and his team really fumbled the court case. I'm not surprised at the verdict from the judge as the case was never really about his known cheating, but the seemingly now false claim from karl about apollo's passing being attributed to billy, and his lack of willingness to meaningfully backtrack and apologise for the claim.

Jingsing41d ago

Jobst also has his own controversies that were shown on Discord so I can't have much sympathy for him either. He is just one step away from that old tired angry at everything right wing manosphere.

SGT_Squirrel40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

"angry at everything right-wing manosphere"? What on earth are you talking about? lol You must be a libtard looking in the mirror again.

Alos8841d ago

Dude crossed a line when he made that claim about Apollo. Seems the second that was brought up the courts lost all interest in the cheating allegations and just focused on that instead.

LoveSpuds41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

What i find interesting is that i had only really been exposed to Jobst's content in respect of the court cases, so I thought it was a slam dunk that Billy would lose. Goes to show the dangers of relying on one interested party's 'version' of the facts I guess.

I am still left in no doubt that Mitchell is a scum bag mind you, and it really stings to thing of him getting that pay out too.

GooGobbler41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Queenslander? I'll talk slower then. HAHAHAA

gigoran840d ago

I don't support either side passionately. One is a accused cheater with a lot of evidence against him, and the other has allegedly said some pretty spice stuff in the past. With this court case settled now I guess both of them at some point has told lies. I would think the right side to back is the one that is trying to prove Billy cheated.

If this game's still in the works, I'll be excited for it - it's been too long since we've gotten a brand new DK and that concept sounds like a good test for the Switch 2

The Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo just hit Nintendo Switch.

Guess I know what my kids and I are playing tonight! Looks just our speed. (They sure as heck aren’t playing Sony’s stealth-dropped free Silent Hill.)
