Everyone who is a gamer should know them, they're not obscure.

Sure old things can be, but let's break it down potato head style for you.

So T.V. Cereal, magazines, extremely popular games that sold very well, but no you say it's obscure. Right.

You do realize Donkey Kong besides being very old, this 'Following an intense marketing campaign, Donkey Kong Country received very high critical praise and sold over nine million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling SNES game.'

Actually popularity means a large group of people knew about it and liked it. Since you have a hard time understanding simple English.

P.S. Donkey Kong was around since the Atari days, you obviously weren't even born then.

I mean, yeah they were so obscure, you had to be a TOTALLY hardcore gamer to even know about this. OR THIS.

It's not like it's Kid Icarus or King Hippo, these are very iconic characters. They WERE EVEN ON A CARTOON that was very popular in the 90's and some had their own cereal. You really are trolling or completely oblivious or must be like 19.

Dude, it's pretty clear if you don't know who Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, Zelda or Link were before playing Smash Bro's you were a kid or were a casual gamer or totally oblivious. I'm thinking it's the latter.

You are obviously a young, or troll or lived under a rock.

P.S. they had these places called Blockbusters you could rent games, in addition if you had friends, and everyone did, you could borrow games, everyone knew who Donkey Kong was as well as most of the other Smash Bro's chars.

I was talking about the NES era.

I really hope you're like some teenager or someone who very casually rarely plays games because they're just a tiny bit iconic, even in Borderlands you see Donkey Kong.

You must be young or not that much of a gamer to not know who Samus or Donkey Kong and the others are. I'm not even saying that as an insult, they're just sorta kinda well known.

I really can't tell if Casey Chan is being sarcastic or not. I can see why they would be legitimately upset, but I can also see why this would be silly.

HAHA!
