7 Video Game Character Redesigns That Directly Insulted The Fans

6. Tiny Kong - Diddy Kong Racing DS

Devil may cry
Nintendo

The whole Donkey Kong family is pretty cool from back in the good old days of Donkey Kong country and Donkey Kong 64. Tiny Kong, the little baby monkey, was another fun addition to the family.

‘’But what if we took Tiny Kong and made her sexy?’’ Said one incredibly weird developer back in the development of Diddy Kong Racing DS. ‘’Great Idea!’’ replied the rest of the also incredibly weird development team, hastily stuffing away their furry porn and getting to work.

I pity the artist had to draw this damn thing and then return home unable to look his wife or children in the eye ever again, just... why?

As is so often the case with sexualising female characters, the move feels like a lame attempt to cash in a little sex appeal when the studio lacks faith in a franchise to sell on its own merits. Never mind the fans of the franchise, there’s a whole market of creepy deviantart users we can tap into with this new design. Seriously, just try searching Tiny Kong fan art and weep for the future of the human race.
