Originally, Popeye was to be released before Donkey Kong, but Nintendo could not procure the rights to do so. However, they did not give up and was eventually given the blessing, with Shigeru Miyamoto and Genyo Takeda taking the lead for the project. Nintendo gave the world another fun arcade game for all to enjoy and a story worth sharing enjoy!
