My friend sent me this video today telling me “It’s on like Donkey Kong!” Strangely enough I have never ever seen this video before.

According the description on the youtube channel, “Donkey Kong has escaped from the circus. He is on the lam, and Mario and Pauline, portrayed here as Mario’s “niece”, are chasing the ape. As with the original game, Donkey Kong will often grab Pauline and Mario has to save her. (It must be noted that Pauline’s portrayal as Mario’s niece is an original Ruby-Spears concept. It is not a part of Nintendo’s official canon.)

I have never seen this video, have any of you ever watched this or seen it?

While many of us would be content to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom on a classic controller. They’re a few of us who want that arcade experience, and we all know that Capcom is all about the arcade feeling. They are working with Mad Catz once again to bring the Wii it’s own unique fight stick; just like the one for street fighter 4 a few months back. Although there isn’t any word on a tournament style stick, it will get the job done.

Anyone looking to get their Tatsunoko on with an Arcade stick? I’m thinking about getting one of these myself and modding it out with Sanwa parts.

Though the Street Fighter series has aged better, my money is still on MK — if only because the first two games were flawless victories of win.

I got a call on Tuesday from long-time friend and Infendo reader Casey (aka Cdub). The good news? Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for Wii is apparently the best thing since sliced bread, particularly if you dig pinball, he says.

The game retails for $29.99, features nine pinball tables from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and is out now. The Wii version uses the trigger buttons on the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to activate the flippers while motion sensors are used to bump the table.

In addition to Casey’s endorsement (I have yet to play the game), the Associated Press says Pinball Hall of Fame “faithfully recreates the look, feel and physics” of pinball and “is well worth the bargain price.” Perhaps the obscure title is more than worth a look.

[Thanks, Casey]
