Yeah, I know. Because I actually looked at the screen when I played - all those jokes were from adults passing through the room not paying close enough attention.

See I was one of those kids that would read the manuals before playing and it was pretty clear from the artwork he was punching those bricks.

That article does not address the quote at all. Steven Kent is the source of the quote, and has said multiple times that it was from an interview he did with Tim Stamper and Miyamoto. It's published in The Ultimate History of Video Games, and G4 also included the anecdote in a video retrospective about Donkey Kong.

Miyamoto may feel bad about it now and maybe does like DKC. But if it was a bullshit story that Kent made up, someone would have called him on directly.

One common on this board is that the translation for Simon's Quest was accurate and the absolutely nonsensical things said by villagers was just "the villagers lie to you".

Yes, some villagers lie to you, but plenty of hints are completely garbled and useless (translator using "holy water" and "magic potion" interchangeably, mixing up whether hints mention Death or Dracula, etc).

A lot of youtube whores keep saying that (R) is useless or doesn't do anything or whatever.

(R)apid increases the speed of your bullets (non-stacking) and is the most powerful thing you can get save for (S)pread.

His name is not "Jack", it's "Pete". Natsume used it in GBC3, in screenshots, and in the DS puzzle game. The nickname "Jack" comes from the SNES game, where you can get a beanstalk. I assume people never caught onto "Jack" because it's a better sounding name then "Pete", but I always use the official names (except for Pony).

>For years I thought the hunchback in Castlevania was some kind of bald headed, bearded, bouncing monkey creature.

The hunchbacks are in fact bald headed, bearded, bouncing monkey-like creatures. They're flea-men after all.

Strangely, the original Japanese games feature a more generic gremlin creature. Western version includes hunchback/fleamen.

It is. At the time I thought that was just to make it blatantly obvious who the character was. Took me forever to warm up to Red being his real name.

Still think it would've been more cool if the game were programmed to have his name be your own character's name to complete the circle.

Playing through this now a lot of it isn't as bad as you would think. Really the greatest sin is the complete lack of a map or any way to tell what the fuck an area is called besides any two areas directly next to a town.
"Holy Water" and "Magic Potion" work though- there's no other "magic potion" in the game.
Though what is bullshit is the fact that nothing tells you hints in the towns are inside buildings and not just what the villagers tell you.
And the hint for the blue crystal being in an incredibly obtuse place.
