I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.
The makers of the classic video-game franchise have filed a request with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office to trademark the pop-culture phrase, "It's on like 'Donkey Kong.' "Nintendo claims that the catchphrase "is an old, popular Nintendo phrase that has a number of possible interpretations depending on how it's used.""In addition to Nintendo's use, it has been used in popular music, television and film over the years, pointing to Donkey Kong's status as an enduring pop-culture icon and video game superstar," they said Wednesday in a written release.We tend to use it when something big is about to go down. Or when we're trying to save a princess by jumping over a bunch of barrels. Whichever.Urban Dictionary defines it as "A phrase to denote that it's time to throw down or compete at a high level."The phrase has popped up in music (Urban Dictionary says a song by rapper Ice Cube may have been its first pop-culture appearance) and movies, including 2003's "American Wedding," a sequel to "American Pie."[...]And it's clearly no coincidence that Nintendo's request comes just days before the latest Donkey Kong adventure, "Donkey Kong Country Returns," is to be released on November 21."On Nov. 21, It's on like Donkey Kong!" reads a company press release.
I was initially indifferent to this game, but I've grown pretty excited for it.Game Informer has given it 9.5/10, saying it's one of the best platformers he's ever played.

Insanolord is a terrible moderator.
A Wii game getting a 9.5 in Game Informer is the equivalent of a 14 on NWR's scale.

If Donkey Kong Country Returns has any of the problems I worry about (basically relying too much on nostalgia and remaking DKC1, like the original New Super Mario Brothers), then Game Informer is one of the publications I could count on for pointing that out. The title had me worried it'd end up like that, but it is shaping up to be a true sequel, Donkey Kong Country 4.
Thank you Retro for taking on Donkey Kong and making it relevant again!
QuoteThank you Retro for taking on Donkey Kong and making it relevant again!I second this. I have to find a demo station of this after the game is released. It's on my X-mas list, and it deserves it.
