This is really cool to see.
I wish I understood German.  I wonder if they accidentally included the DK Remix footage - are they talking about how hard DK is to play compared to modern XBox and PlayStation games?

Yeah they basically said that games that hard and frustrating do not get developed nowadays. Guess they just played on the Remix machine cause all other DK cabs were in use.

The cab with Remix had more space around it for the camera man, I think.
That's pretty funny/ironic that they were playing a new game to explain how games like that do not get developed nowadays.   And none of them noticed that the stages were different from regular DK?  They're probably going to get a few calls from people wondering to to reach those screens, haha.

Oh dang, thats sweet! I totally missed that they covered the KO5, maybe cause I don't watch much TV anymore. But that is a nice unprejudiced report on the scene. Hope there will be some more Germans that got into DK trough it :)
