Revision as of 10:55, 24 November 2019
This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |

The 'country' naming origin
Recently, the reason why the name of the came includes 'country' has come to light, via a tweet by the designer of the series Greg Mayles.

"'Country' was the code name Nintendo gave the game after visiting Rare. We were located in the picturesque and rural countryside, hence the name 'country'. Somehow it managed to end up part of the game's name!"
This is definitely a piece of information that is substantial enough to warrant inclusion in this (and all other Donkey Kong Country) article. Does this warrant a new section or is it a sentence that should be added somewhere?

I found an archive of Retro Gamer No.43
I'm not great with editing sources, so I thought I would link it here for someone to add later. I believe this sources Diddy Kong's origin? https://computerarchive.org/files/computer/magazines/retro%20gamer/Retro_Gamer_Issue_043.pdf
There is also a download for Gamepro No.65 here; https://www.retromags.com/magazines/usa/gamepro/gamepro-issue-65/ -Plague von Karma (talk) 14:22, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
