Agreed, (in fairness, Popeye is getting a movie) but you misunderstand me, I meant I wish the original Popeye game could get licensed so it can be rereleased on Switch, maybe via Hamster’s Arcade Archives lineup on the Eshop.

It’s hard to say, but yeah things would be much different.
 
Also that’s actually not the only Popeye game Nintendo made. They made two different ones for their Game & Watch portable LCD game lineup.

To be honest I think donkey Kong was better off not getting the licence anyway. It’s probably would have fallen into obscurity if it did especially considering popeye isn’t exactly big in Pop culture in recent years

Yes but what would happen as a result of Donkey Kong being replaced with a Popeye game? Would Nintendo create entirely different original characters later? Would they stick with Popeye (at least for a little while) because of the popularity of the game?
 
It’s the kind of thing that can cause a ripple effect throughout the history of Nintendo.

Yeah, though the Popeye game was different, and similar to DK in some ways. The Popeye game focused more on collecting items, rather then just getting to the top of a level.
 
Mario’s original design even looks a bit Popeye-ish with his “squeengky” eyes.
 
I kinda wish they could rerelease the original Popeye Nintendo game on Switch. (Darn expensive licensing issues.)

Might’ve not gotten Mario & DK then.
 
It’s been rumored that Mario/Jumpman, and Donkey Kong are kinda inspired by Popeye & Brutus. (So Lady/Pauline might be like Olive.)  
The premise is similar, an unnattractive everyman hero VS a hulking brute who kidnaps the damsel.

Donkey Kong was originally going to be a Popeye game but they couldn’t get the license at the time. After the popularity of Donkey Kong, they could. It really makes you wonder what would have happened if they had managed to get the license at first…
