    PETA Praises Sega For Monkey Loving

    The folks at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) dropped us a line today to let us know they were sending a thank you gift to Sega for pulling advertisements for Samba De Amigo that featured chimpanzee actors. After the lovely, uplifting information PETA passed on to the publisher I can't see that they really had much of a choice. More »

    Wii Getting Mad Maraca Monkey Loving

    Talk about a perfect fit. First rumored, then seemingly confirmed by a scan of a Nintendo Power cover, and now officially confirmed by 1UP through Sega of America, the delicious taste of monkeys and maracas will once again grace our television video game playing device as Samba de Amigo is coming to the Wii. The game is being developed by Gearbox Software of Brothers in Arms fame, so you know they'll do an excellent job with the World War II firefights, should they choose to include any. Somehow I doubt it. More info should be coming down the pipe on the triumphant return of musical monkey mayhem soon. More »

    A PlayStation 2 Controller Fit for a Kid

    Little children have little hands. Using a standard PS2 controller can be more than a handful. Good thing there's the LiLiCON, a mini-controller for pint-sized players. Created by Japanese toy maker Happinet, the LiLiCON stands for "LIGHT&LITTLE CONTROLLER." There's also a turbo button to help along tikes that haven't mastered the fine art of button-mashing. The controller is covered with an Ape Escape and goes on sale July 13th, the same day Ape Escape: Million Monkeys drops. Fitting, because all children, like my son, are chimps. More »

    Watch A Chimp Play Ms. Pac-Man

    We love primates at Kotaku. We love to watch monkeys and apes bathe cats, smoke cigarettes, quench their thirst via their own urine. A little bit of trivia for you here: Brian Ashcraft's favorite movie of all time is Every Which Way But Loose. Seriously, he owns this on laserdisc. That's why we're so pleased to present you with this fascinating video of a chimpanzee (a bonobo, possibly) playing Ms. Pac-Man. Monkey boy isn't really that good, but at least seems to grasp the basic concept. Maybe it's all just random luck. More »
