Diminutive Geordie rascals Ant and Dec have been a staple of Nintendo's advertising campaigns for a while now, so it's no surprise to see them turn up again to promote Donkey Kong Country Returns with a series of web videos.
With the latest series of jungle-based endurance test (for all concerned) I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here having just started the tiny pair will be all over UK TV screens in the run-up to Donkey Kong's triumphant return on December 3rd.
We'll have a full review of the game available later on this week.

At least it's better than Jedward...
*shudders *
Nice tie in there ; ) Sort of hoped Nintendo would capitalize a bit on that as it seems a little too good an opportunity to miss!
At least Donkey Kong doesn't need to deal with eating crocodile willies or whining Z-list celebs...
Let Corbie review it. It will get a 10 for sure!
Fortunately, no amount of paid-for blather from no-talent celebrities will put me off this game.
These guys aren't that bad. Especially considering what evil lies in Great Britain right now.
... And these guys are... ??? Replace that money with American currency and we can talk.
I didn't understand a word they said....
These guys are awesome in Britain's Got Talent.
I don't get it...
@MeloMan
They're well known presenters in the UK.
does anyone else remember their Poke-raps and think they should come back for Black and White adverts?
So, who are they?
@Aviator
Who are they?
Ant and Dec - or Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnely are mainly know for their appearences in a childrens drama (about 15 years ago) called Byker Grove, set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. After leaving Byker, they enjoyed a short career in music, their biggest hit being "Let's get ready to Rhumble" [sic] under the pseudonym of PJ & Duncan (their character names in Byker).
Nowadays, they are established light entertainers, with a spot on Britain's got Talent, (formerly?) X Factor, the British "Pop Idol" and of course, "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here!"
As annoying as they are, they actually have talent, which is more than can be said for Jedward.

yes, I fondly remember SM:TV, that show seems largely forgotten nowadays. It was huge 10 years ago, and they had wonkey donkey!

They seem a hit has-been nowadays, and involved with a lot of trashy ITV stuff- I still kinda like them though. Jedward make me heave, I think I'll send an angry letter to nintendo marketing
@edhe I don't remember them being in Byker Grove. o_O
At least these guys are some what funny. Jedward is just plain embarassing...
Also, with "I'm a Celebrity get me out of here" on now. Why didn't Nintendo not use the chance to have DKCR to sponsor the show?
It would of been a win-win..
Please can I let rip with a mass of un-edited expletives? Just this once?
