Inside the process of video game writing

Donkey Kong: King Kong and his buddies vs. Pirate/Scientist Godzilla

Yoshi: a spin off series about a dinosaur that eats enemies and then poops them out as eggs. he is killing them, chewing them up, and then rebirthing them in egg form, and then proceeds to destroy that egg. looks are deceiving.
