Somebody has made a Donkey Kong game with Matt Cutts as the ape. It’s called, appropriately, Donkey Cutts.
In the game, social signals increase your rank, and you get ten points for jumping over penguins and pandas, or lose the points if they get you. You can also gain points for “awesome content,” and more links and shares. Penalties can be “fixed with a trusty SEO hammer”. You know, like the hammer in Donkey Kong.
The game comes from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk, and it’s a hell of a lot harder to lose than the real Donkey Kong. Cutts stands at the top like Kong himself, shouting things like “Nofollow any paid links!” and “Make your links from blog comments genuine!”
Nintendo recently held an event for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D that allowed people to play the game before it launched. That wasn’t all though as Nintendo also decided to terrorize small children when the life-sized DK himself burst through a promotional poster.
Donkey Kong can be a pretty intimidating fellow it seems. He even made some of the adults in the crowd jump.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D hits the 3DS on May 24.
The Nintendo eShop for 3DS has been a bastion of creativity and innovation since it first launched in 2011. Nintendo’s own studios have created a number of unique titles for the service that don’t conform to the conventions set by their big budget releases. That focus on innovative titles will continue with the next wave of eShop titles hitting the service.
During its Nintendo Direct this morning, the company announced that HarmoKnight, Kersploosh!, and Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move would be coming to the Nintendo 3DS eShop this spring.
The first is HarmoKnight, a rhythm platformer from Game Freak. The developer has taken time off of working on the Pokemon franchise to make this unique platformer that bears a striking resemblance to Bit.Trip Runner. It’s just as, if not more, charming than Gaijin Game’s effort, and features some stellar tunes if the trailer is any indication. With this being GameFreak, the game will also feature some Pokemon music crossovers that’s sure to delight fans of the franchise.
HarmoKnight will be available on the eShop on March 28.
The second is a far more “interesting” title called Kersploosh! In this game, the player controls a rock that’s been thrown down a well. The player will have to maneuver the rock on its way down to avoid obstacles as it makes its way to the water at the bottom. It’s certainly unique, and could very well be a really fun title.
Finally, Nintendo showed off the latest game in its Mario and Donkey Kong series called Minis on the Move. Much like the previous titles, the game is focused on solving puzzles as Mario leads miniature versions of himself to the exit while avoiding hazards.
