This piece, on the other hand, was produced by artist Jayson Weidel for the "Old School Video Game Show" that will kick off on Sept. 16 in Santa Monica, California.
Now, please forgive me while I play a few rounds of Donkey Kong on my trusty Twin Famicom.

Mario looks like wario....I approve.
Yes, I agree, Motherplayer. I love Mario's red nose and spaced-out teeth especially. Also, Pauline's rosy cheeks and boneless limbs :)
The classic Donkey Kong game was one of my favorite arcade games of all time. King of kong is a great documentary over it.
Hey there, Joe/John/Frank/whatever-your-name-is! Don't worry, I kid :P Are all of you the same person, though, or am I just getting a number of one-named visitors these days?
Anyway, yes, Donkey Kong is an all-time great, no doubt. You're the second person today to recommend King of Kong, by the way. Guess I'll have to check it out soon!
That second image is pretty sweet.
Ah, that's interesting, Justin! I thought everybody would prefer the first image.
RE: the second image, by the way: Wouldn't it be great for some future version of Donkey Kong to include a battle like this? I don't know how it would play out exactly ... Maybe he would zoom in and out of the screen, and you'd have to jump up and bop his nose with your hammer? Yeah, something like that...
Heck. Yes.
Well, fingers crossed someone, somewhere is working on such a game. Really, Donkey Kong is due for a bit of a reboot, a la Donkey Kong GB, don't you think?
