The lawsuit has often been thought to be the reason behind there being few rereleases of the arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'' and the existence of ''Donkey Kong: Original Edition'', although ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' nevertheless features a full port of the arcade version, as this is not an emulation of its code. However, in 2018, the original arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'' was released as a part of Hamster Corporation's ''[[Arcade Archives]]'' series. The lawsuit may also explain why references to ''Donkey Kong'' in other Nintendo games used the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version instead of the arcade version until 2018's ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', which altered the [[Donkey Kong (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Donkey Kong]] [[microgame]] to feature arcade graphics and sound effects. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', also released in 2018, remade the [[75 m (stage)|75 m]] [[stage]] to look and sound like the arcade version and changed the [[Hammer]]'s music to that of the arcade version (though the arcade version of [[25m]]'s music had been used in the series since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''). Based on this, it is likely that some time around 2018, Nintendo either bought the rights from Ikegami Tsushinki entirely, or the two parties settled mutually. | The lawsuit has often been thought to be the reason behind there being few rereleases of the arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'' and the existence of ''Donkey Kong: Original Edition'', although ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' nevertheless features a full port of the arcade version, as this is not an emulation of its code.
