Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s most-recognized characters and franchises, but it turns out that the name could have gone in a different direction.
You may recall that in 1983, Nintendo and Universal were going head to head in court over the IP. Universal wasn’t happy with “Donkey Kong”, feeling that it was based on King Kong. Nintendo won in the end, and the final name stuck after a judge determined that it was “at best” a parody.

Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
With each year that goes by, longtime game creator and Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto receives more and more questions about his role at the company. Miyamoto hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down at 71, but his role has transitioned into things such as focusing on the Mario movies. Super Mario Run in 2016 was actually his last official role as director.
During Nintendo’s shareholders meeting today, Miyamoto was once again asked about his role when it comes to game development given his age. As we’ve heard before, the younger generation is now taking center stage. However, Miyamoto pointed out that he’s “very involved with Pikmin Bloom” – the game actually just received a new feature this week, which we have details about here.
