When captain n the adventures of super mario world hits the public sometime in the fall, Shout should acclaim the rights for the 1983 donkey kong tv series as their next project. It was great for the fans to watch on saturday supercade when the show was present. They've only made 19 episodes.Besides, Nintendo based cartoons never get old. I think shout should go for it.And as a bonus, they should revitalize the latter series, Donkey Kong Jr, as a big combo set onto DVD.

Anyone agree?

Any objections?

Last time I heard, Brian was trying to see if he was going to get the Saturday Supercade since it was made by Ruby Spears (who also did the Megaman cartoon), as far as I know it was only aired once on CBS in the US. I've watched an episode of Donkey Kong and it wasn't too bad, Donkey Kong Jr. is a bit like Scrappy Doo (Monkey Muscle instead of Puppy Power). Yoshi, if there's a site to watch these on it's called Platipus Comix but I forgot the exact page. I also heard that the Saturday Supercade cannot be aired on its original form due to copyright of the different shows (Donkey Kong  - Nintendo, Frogger - Konami, Qbert (who ever owns him now, Atari?), Pitfall - Activision, Kangaroo (company went bust years ago)). 

As for DKC, season 1 is owned by someone else and last time Brian didn't felt right to release the 2nd Season first so it depends on if they (the other company) want to give up rights. It's too bad, cause I only have the 1st 4 episodes on the UK DVD (plus some recorded on tape 6 years ago)

I would do some extensive research to find out who owns the first season of the 83' dk series. After all, it is a mystery.  Brian should just release season 2 anyways despite lacking season 1, because theres no other reason for holding out on the season 2 release when its in his hands. But we should assemble a strike team.....I MEAN.... research team to track down all studios who might own partial rights to the dk series. Donkey Kong  needs banannas faithful fans, we are his only hope. lol. That was cheesy, but you get my point.

Season 1 is out there somehwere and we'll find it!!

Maybe saturday supercade will find its way onto DVD someday, but I'm curious about the 83' donkey kong series. I just recently emailed warner bros to see if they had the rights to season 1 in addition to saturday supercade, and unfortunately, I havent gotten a reply yet. As soon as I hear anything,i'll let you guys know. My guess is that they do have saturday supercade  if there obviously working on pac-man. As for donkey kong, it would be weird to see 2 different companies releasing different seasons of the same show.

WB currently owns the 1983 Donkey Kong Series , They also own the 1982 Pac-man series as they were produced by Ruby Spears or Hanna Barbera respectively.  WB is planning on releasing Pac-man Animated in late 2007 / Early 2008. No Word on DK or DK Jr yet .

Saturday Supercade was an animated television series produced for Saturday mornings by Ruby-Spears Productions. It is Currently owned By Warner Bros.  It ran for two seasons on CBS beginning in 1983. Each episode was comprised of several shorter segments featuring video game characters from the Golden Age of Arcade Games. Presumably due to licensing issues with the various companies that licensed their games for the show, Saturday Supercade has never been officially released on VHS or DVD. However, segments from the show occasionally appear as filler on Boomerang.

Sorry I thought the dvd was for the cartoon.. never heard of a interactive game being released on Dvd.. lol

Brian,

       After the completion of Captain N and the adventures of super mario world, what is the next project in line? What DIC cartoon will be on the hotseat?
