Rareĭonkey Kong Country’s bright and colorful backgrounds stand out even today, as does the fact that it features two characters on the screen at the same time. Choosing Kong, Rare created a game that could more than stand its own with Aladdin or any or side-scrolling game of the era.ĭonkey Kong Country's levels varied in their mechanics, and allowed for help from animal friends. Impressed by what they saw, Nintendo upped its investment to 49 percent of the company with hopes that the Stampers could spin CGI gold out of their catalog of characters. Nintendo discovered that this was because the company had invested its Battletoads money into Silicon Graphics workstations that vaulted the studio into the technical elite of its day. Run by brothers Chris and Tim Stamper, the company had made a splash with the previous NES system with their popular Battletoads game, but had been mostly quiet during the 16-bit era. Looking beyond its horizons, the company decided to purchase a 25 percent share in a British company known as Rare. Nintendo could stand to lose bloodthirsty teenagers, but not kids. If a Wii U owner wants it they can get it so what does making it just slightly harder to come by accomplish?Īnd there are already several Wii U-to-Switch ports and I don't recall any of them being discontinued from the online store.More than the bloodiness and gore of Mortal Kombat, Nintendo worried about a game that had come out the previous year on the Genesis: the adaptation of Disney’s Aladdin, which looked and felt like an interactive cartoon. The game is also plentiful in the used market. It seems to be a pretty easy game to find a physical copy of so this is just discouraging one specific type of sale. And if you really want this for the Wii U there I still see tons of copies at my local Wal-mart. If the Wii U game sales were a serious threat to Switch sales then the Wii U would have been successful enough that a new Nintendo console probably wouldn't have come out yet in the first place. The whole reason all these Wii U games are getting re-released is because they're like new games for most of the Switch userbase. Having any sort of concern about a Wii U game affecting Switch sales is silly since it's actually pretty hard to get a Wii U these days and hardly anyone owned one when it was current.
