If you have read the site, you likely know about 2007's documentary, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Since the documentary's release, Billy Mithcell and Steve Wiebe have been gone back and forth reclaiming the the title. In the spring, we reported of a new king in town named Hank Chien. He is a plastic surgeon from New York, who took the title from Mithcell. Mitchell then took the title back, only to be bested by Wiebe in September. In January, Wiebe was once again unseated by Chien.

Chien has a high score of 1,090,400 and is now one of the top Donkey Kong players in the world. He was not a part of the 2007 film and now he has his own documentary called Doctor Kong: Cutting Up the Competition

In 2009, Alexis Neophytides began filming the short documentary before Chien won the Donkey Kong title. Nintendo Life described the project “as a character study of this odd guy who would show up at a local bar in Brooklyn dressed in scrubs to practice Donkey Kong.” The film may not be an official follow-up to King of Kong, but it has very similar subject matter. Watch the trailer below and share your thoughts!
