I was hoping this next documentary would be out this year, but it isn't going to happen. It has been a ton of work!. I'll be visiting @museumofplay next month to wrap things up and I hope the video will be done by February / March. In the meantime, Happy Holidays! 🎅.

After months of sifting through interviews, doing research, and writing, my latest video script is officially done. This will probably be my longest video yet, so I'll be working away in my editing dungeon until it's done. See you on the other side 🧛.

The story of Donkey Kong's development within Nintendo is well-known. But we don't know much about how it got programmed by an outside company called Ikegami Tsushinki. This fundraiser would help translate an article from 1997 detailing the events! .
