Just uploaded this, thought you guys might think it was neat!

While browsing the VHS section of a local thrift store recently, a green tape caught my eye. Palm trees covered the box and in big letters it said "ENTER THE JUNGLE... NOV 21" with a small picture of Donkey Kong holding the Nintendo logo. I was very intrigued and couldn't resist the $1 price tag. I brought it home and watched it immediately. Needless to say, I was blown away.

Stick around till the very end for a nice post credits tease of another upcoming game from Nintendo!

Around the 4:00 mark, they show a "prototype board" that might be of interest to some of the gear heads here.
