@title no he isn't Nintendo's most important character.

DragonKnight5078d ago

Actually, considering that the first game from Miyamoto, and the first game featuring an actual character designed by Nintendo, was Donkey Kong... yeah he is Nintendo's most important character.

Donkey Kong the game is based on the King Kong and Beauty and the Beast films (not the cartoon one) and Donkey Kong was the first character Miyamoto created. Mario came after Donkey Kong and was originally a construction worker.

mantisimo5078d ago (Edited 5078d ago )

Nahuh they were both created together for the game Donkey Kong.

Yes he was a construction worker and was named "Jump man" but even before that was going to be called "Mr Video".

DragonKnight5078d ago

They were created for the same game, but the very first character of that game that Miyamoto designed was Donkey Kong, not Mario.

Rare really made some kickass DK games. Too bad Nintendo hasnt made a good 3D adventure DK game for quite some time.

As for important characters, I agree that DK has its landmarks but overall Link > all.

Pozzle5078d ago

Aww, this makes me wish they made another 3D Donkey Kong game, similar to DK64. Damn you Rare!

CrescentFang5078d ago

Well as their main money maker, doesn't pokemon beat all? even dragon quest?...lol I doubt it... (in japan though, since dragon quest isn't as popular outside)

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.

Jingsing59d 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_Squirrel58d ago (Edited 58d 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.

Alos8859d 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.

LoveSpuds59d ago (Edited 59d 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.

GooGobbler59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Queenslander? I'll talk slower then. HAHAHAA

gigoran859d 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.)
