Originally, both these characters spun off from the DK series, who is in fact a Mario character. Thus, these guys are essentially Mario characters themselves. Yet, now they are on X-box. Has Nintendo ever commented on this, or made any indication that they even care? |

Either way DKC isn't Mario related at all. Nintendo had first dibs on Rare, and they said no. You guys can only get angry at Nintendo, not Microsoft. |
