King of Kong Rematch!


So I don't know if any of you know but a documentary called The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters came out in 2007. Its a story about a competition to hold the number one position at Donkey Kong. For those who don't know, this is a game where you play as jumpman (mario), while leaping and bounding over a barrel at a time, trying to free the princess from the brute they call Donkey Kong.

The movie is amazing and kinda...very sad when it comes to Billy (the present day champion holder). At the beginning of watching this I couldn't tell if this was a joke or not. BUT it isn't. Steve Wiebe is the man who tried ever so hard to claim the number one position. Eventually he did receive it, but was quickly taken away by Billy Mitchell again.

BUT at E3 he will have the chance to take it back and reclaim the title. If you haven't seen the movie, you really should. The competition will take place on June 2nd 2009, ill definitely be watching and rooting for Steve!
