that goofy logo (teeth) makes this box art tremendous.

"The king of kings!"
Oh man, I so wish NOA would keep this slogan for the US version. It would become so controversial and bring so many sales for the game.

Nintendo's boxart in Japan has been recently excellent. The layout and typography here is cool, too.
GAF members from Japan - any idea which agency they are using? I could make a favor to western boxart and see what they can do.

Just like no one would mind if he teamed up with "Prince of Peace" Diddy Kong, "Alpha and Omega" Cranky Kong, and "Good Shepherd" Funky Kong.
Of course there is no controversy intended, but it just wouldn't go over well in an English speaking country. I would assume that it was meant as a play on "King of Swing," taking it to a new level, but I doubt that many Japanese understand the connotation to "King of Kings" in English.
Either that, or they are looking into making a Xenosaga crossover...wait a minute, Namco has Xenosaga and worked on Donkey Konga...maybe a Xeno-Konga for GC is next.

That's exactly why they should do it. Any publicity is good publicity.
Plus people would soon be abated if they explained it was in reference to things like his semi-namesake "King Kong" and terms like "King of Swing". In fact a lot of people would make the connection between the word king and the great ape.
I LOVE the boxart by the way.
Am I the only one who hears "King of Kings" used commonly ALL the time with no Biblical connotations? I hear people say it casually all the time, and other people never relate it to the Bible. It's just like "Mother of Mothers."
I don't think any English-speaking nation would give a shit, honestly. Maybe this board would go off the deep end about how "cool" that is, but I doubt entire nations would.

And this may well be the best Donkey Kong game ever. It's much more fun than DKC or any of the offshoot games (DK 94, DK vs Mario) and it has fucking beautiful visuals.

DK '94 wasn't an offshoot game, if anything it was the purist sequel. Yoshiaki Koizumi is the director of this game, he will definitely play as big a part in future Nintendo as Eiji Aonuma.
