Donkey is fine.

DK = what?
Donkey Kong? or wait... maybe Diddy Kong?

Does it look odd to you to just call Diddy, well... Diddy?

Ice Climbers would probably be Popo.
lol if its just diddy ill laugh alot. i hope one of the designers makes a mistake and puts a p infront of diddy.

There would be no confusion because you'd know that Diddy is called Diddy. Also, you'd be able to see on the screen.
DK = DK.
Diddy = Diddy.

Its dumb that it even bothers you. OCD much?

Donkey is his first name anyway, obviously he's not a donkey.. But they don't call yoshi "Dinosaur" do they?

It's entirely possible that they'll fix things like that before hte game comes out. Maybe in america they'll say DK, you never know. It's kind of like how in Melee when you switch to Japanese language Bowser and Jiggly change names.
It's not exactly the same, but I think that that's most likely what they'll do if there really is a problem with people.
It only kind of bothers me, but I think everyone is reading a bit too much into it. Ice CLimbers will stil be Ice Climbers, Pokemon Trainer will probably be whatever Pokemon is active at hte time, and Captain Falcon will be Capt. Falcon.
Even if I'm wrong, the game will still be the same.

I think they used Donkey because his icon is DK and they didn't want to have the same thing used twice.
Then pokemon trainer will be called red i think. I don't know about the ice climbers. And i think Diddy kong will be diddy.

Thank you for blatantly pointing out what everyone else already has.

Everyone knows DK as DK.
Everyone knows Diddy as Diddy or Diddy Kong. Not DK.

So putting DK as DK wouldn't confuse anyone. Really.

I think what bugs me more, is the fact that it actually says the name of the character you are playing, as well as their portrait beside it.

Seems very redundant, and pointless. The past two games never had character names and portraits beside the percentage meters. I don't see now why all of a sudden they needed to add this huge cluster of text and images when they really weren't and aren't necessary.

How is that going to look with stocks anyways? Stock images + Percentage + Character Symbol + Character Portrait + Character Name + Colored Swoosh Effect?

Catch my drift?

Well if it's not a BIG deal why must you share it with the smash community?

Good job for pointing something out that the rest of us would have just completely ignored, but nope we all must now know that Donkey Kong has officially been deemed Donkey..

Yeh it is kind of massive isn't it? I'm embarrassed to say it, but I think it looks cool. And I've been wondering where the stocks go too.

What if there is no stocks? What if time and coin battle are the new standards? I'm kidding, calm down.

So am I the only one who thinks calling a big, butt kicking APE "Donkey" is weird?

Either way, we must live with it. Apes are now Donkeys, and Monkeys shall be squirrels. The end.

This post pwns. This Thread is such a waste of space. A Monkey being called donkey.... What the big deal. This is not wroth a thread over. You Pyro you must be bored or something. You should spend more time talking with girls or friends than on a forum. I mean look you joined around in June and look at your posts.

Another thing edit your posts. Don't double post.

Oh no. Not this again. Ok, if this thread is such a waste of space,
1. Why are you here?
2. Why isn't it closed yet?
It also seems pretty dumb for you to be calling me a no-lifer. I mean, I don't expect for you to know what I do everyday, but still. Sariku joined AFTER me and has more posts than me, and so do alot of other people.
This is actually a TYPICAL day. School. Home. 2 hours of Homework. 2 hours of skateboarding with friends. Dinner. 2-3 hours on the computer on sites such as MySpace, Facebook, SWF, etc. I post in every thread that interests me, and try to contribute as much as I can. I see no bad reason for having a large post number if it actually means something, instead of 500 spam posts saying "Cool idea". Anyways, Tuesdays and Thursdays I stay after school with friends. Wednesdays and Fridays me and 3 friends go to a friends house to Smash. And on weekends I go to my girlfriends house from 2-10pm.

$10 says you quote me and say "SO?" , but I really couldn't care, because if someone that mattered thought this thread didn't deserve to be up, it wouldn't be. And you, Master Peach, obviously don't matter.

^^

*facepalm*

Big time facepalm.
Big time lulz.

Well good for you. I now know you have a socal life. I was a little worried there for a sec. Anyways look this thread really isn't needed. Just because something is spelled different, looks different, or seems different doesn't mean you should make thread about it. Oh let's make thread about how cool the death aura looks when Link killed Mario. "Omg it looks so awesome, does it look strange to anyone? discuss XD." Making such threads is pointless.

Oh and if I don't matter than why do respond to my posts. If I don't matter continue with your posts. I don't really care. For the most part that last post I was mostly agreeing with bored Anyways though enjoy your time talking crap that doesn't matter. ^^ Bye bye

We don't need you either, so just do us all a favour and gtfo!

As to putting Donkey there instead of DK, yes, it's a mistake. I think it's made by a "lower" member of the development team however and maybe they don't require him to speak English? Something like that does seem to be the case.

Well, good find anyway. Here is to hoping they change it for the USA/PAL version. And here is to hoping you will be able to turn off those annoying faces and names.

xD Haha. I have my own thing from the WiFi update that bothered me.

Ike's presumed battle stance is wrong. Now, as soon as someone reads this they'll go "PROOF" or "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?". The thing is many of special enemies in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance comment on Ike's battle stance. If it's not because they've known/fought beside Gawain (Greil, Ike's father who taught him), it's because of his unique and intriguing approach. I guess I'm just saying it is actually a character trait and a beckon of converse within the plot. I would have preferred it if Ike used his Ranger or Lord battle stance, but it's really no big deal. Just something worth picking on. :p

How did you get into this? I wasn't even talking to you. You should really mind your own business.

Anyways All I'm trying to say is why not make a thread with a bigger subject that grabs more attention to more people. But I'm just talking.

My opinion on this is that sakurai probably put Donkey instead of DK because in the back behind the dmg meter the DK Icon shows. So why would he have the need to put DK again. That kinda redondant don't you think?

Anyways that's my thoughts on this.

For some evidence this mistake probably won't be in the final game, compare these screenshots from the last update:

This one, from the US version of the site, shows Donkey Kong with his full name spelled out above him in a smaller font.

However, the Japanese version of the screenshot abbreviates his name to Donkey.

Wow, I did NOT notice that it only said Donkey. I would have definitely preferred DK, but, w/e...I don't play him anyways.

Thank you =] .

I didn't think of checking the Japanese site.

Now I'm almost 100% certain that Donkey Kong won't be a donkey in the English version.

...on annother note, one 'small' thing that does bother me is whenever Sakurai captions a picture and has it say, "He's/She's/It's huge!" I don't know why it gets to me, but it just makes want to say something like, "Ya' think?"

Bump!

Just like to point out that in the demo "Donkey" is now spelled out as "Donkey Kong". Guess Sakurai was bothered by little things as well. :p
