In collaboration with Nintendo, Rare worked on a number of Donkey Kong games, including Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64. It’s perhaps due to the studio’s strong involvement with the series that a Microsoft executive thought that the company owned the IP following its acquisition of Rare.
Former Rare staffer and Conker’s Bad Fur Day director Chris Seavor revealed on Twitter:
@IOnEI_Falcon Here's a true story.. When Rare was first bought by MS a group of execs came on a tour.. One of them noticed the Donkey Kong.

@IOnEI_Falcon ..Posters everywhere and said.. 'Hey that's great.. We own Donkey Kong right ??' ………/massivesigh

Donkey Kong was one of Nintendo’s first franchises, so it’s kind of hard to believe how out of the loop this Microsoft executive was!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut will include improved visuals, enhanced AI, reworked bosses, and more. All of these changes and additions – along with the functionality offered by the Wii U GamePad – make Director’s Cut “the ultimate version of the game.”
According to game designer Emile Pedneault:
A special preview airing of the new Pokemon movie took place in Japan earlier today. While that was happening, a new trailer for Pokemon X/Y was also shown.
We’re hearing that the video teased a special 3DS XL for release in Japan. Designs of Xerneas & Yveltal are featured on the top case, and it apparently comes in red and blue colors. The new Pokemon Orotto (or maybe Aulotte) is also rumored to have been shown during the trailer.
Earlier today, we successfully managed to disconnect the main site and forum. What does that mean for you? Not too much, honestly!
Aside from a change in the way NE handles comments, everything is pretty much the same. We’re now using Disqus – the same system that we previously implemented on Gaming Everything.
In order to participate in our discussions, you will indeed need a Disqus account. There’s a good chance that some of you are already registered, though. Sites like IGN use Disqus as well, so if you signed up for an account at any other time, that same account will work here (or on any other site using this system).
Disqus allows for a lot more functionality than we had in the past. You can vote on and favorite comments, sort comments in different ways, reply directly to someone else, or even share the discussion on Twitter and Facebook.
Register for Disqus here. It’s incredibly simple – just enter a name, email, and password. That’s it!
The old forum-based comments actually aren’t gone. While they won’t appear on the main site any longer due to the disconnect, they’re still around in the Nintendo Everything news forum. That board will remain open (for now anyway), and can be used by anyone for Nintendo-related news. We’ve opened it fully so that anyone can start a topic. If the news section becomes a superfluous area of the forum, we’ll simply retire it.
As always, feel free to ask any questions or voice any thoughts by commenting, emailing, or contacting us any other way you see fit!
