Microsoft executive thought company owned Donkey Kong following Rare purchase

June 30th, 2013 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Posted by Brian

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:

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!
