“Cranky Kong” takes over Nintendo of America Twitter account for the day

Posted on February 20, 2014 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News

For tomorrow’s launch of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, “Cranky Kong” has been put in charge of Nintendo of America’s Twitter account for the day. We’ll round up the tweets over the next few hours below.

AHEM! This is Cranky Kong. Nintendo told me to deal with Twitter today. Once they explained it wasn’t some new animal buddy, I agreed.

YOU ASKED: Getting your own game anytime soon? #DKCTF #WiiU

Why get my own game when I can outshine these whippersnappers in theirs? #DKCTF #WiiU

I am still getting the hang of this “meme” thing. #DKCTF #WiiU pic.twitter.com/bCN3HQIKNn

I chase freeloaders off my property while waving my cane above my head and shouting random nonsensical game tips. #DKCTF #WiiU

YOU ASKED: How old are you, Cranky??? #DKCTF #WiiU
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014

Old enough to remember when falling in a pit in a platformer was called “lack of skill” and not “cheap.” #DKCTF #WiiU
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014

I am the most interesting Kong in the world. #DKCTF #WiiU pic.twitter.com/E0thVUC9Ou

YOU ASKED: What’s your favorite video game and why? #DKCTF #WiiU
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014

Game & Watch—any of ‘em. Why? Because they weren’t fancy, they were fun, and you could throw them at rowdy teenagers. #DKCTF #WiiU
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014

YOU ASKED: Are all of these new-fangled features of the new game too much for you to take in? #DKCTF #WiiU
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 21, 2014

Are you kidding me? I upgraded from a rocking chair to getting toted around by DK! Life is goooooooood. #DKCTF #WiiU
