EB Games destroying Donkey Kong 3D displays

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

EB Games really, really wants to quell the Donkey Kong 3D rumors. The retailer has asked all stores to destroy the displays for the non-existent game, as well as boxes for Kirby 3D and Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Wii.
