Wow. Cool. The wiki page suggested it might be difficult to get, but it was wrong.
I like to stick to one place at a time. I left 1UP and that's that. I'm having enough trouble just keeping up with all the activitiy here at Pixlbit. Plus, I think Pixlbit is better at enabling me to keep up with responses to blogs and such. I do miss 1UP though and still have a link up there on my browser to it.
I'm using backloggery as a kind of metagame now. I use the randomizer to pick an unplayed game and try and finish it.
I remember the gender reversed Donkey Kong Pauline Edition that was made recently. They did a whole cabinet.

It just dawned on me that Joust is the original "flappy bird".

Bandit's look is priceless. "I really hated that" he seems to say.
Ha! DK Jr. Math. Didn't see that one. Cool. The cartoon I'll have to watch later 'cause it's late, and DK Game Boy did come out a few years after SMK, so you're right there, and I should've known that 'cause I just read something you wrote about that. Ah, facts. There's so many of them and so little time to find them all.
Yea, I don't think there's any continuity between the new and old DK's. It seems like with DK Country, the current characters were set and not much of a backstory has been given regarding how they all relate to each other. Somehow I think Nintendo did that on purpose.
