Nintendo finally captures gorilla demographic

August 9, 2010 News 1 Comment

Nintendo has famously been trying to appeal to the gorilla demographic for years. With each passing release of a new Donkey Kong title, it seemed less and less likely that the apes would ever come around to video games, but it’s finally happened.

A young boy dropped his DS into the gorilla enclosure at the San Fransisco zoo on Friday, and the results are staggering. Two gorillas marveled at the device for some time before trainers could coax it away from them.

Check out Spicuzza’s Photo A Day blog for more pics of this stunning bridging of the human and animal worlds.
