This is a big deal, folks. The world record high score in Donkey Kong is such a hotly contested title that there's even been a documentary made on it (the excellent The King of Kong, which we recommend you make a plan to watch ASAP if you haven't already it's excellent). After the title exchanged hands a number of times last year, former record holder Hank Chien has reclaimed the top spot.

According to a Twin Galaxies PR email that GoNintendo posted on their site, the record may not last long as Wiebe is set to try and reclaim the top spot once again at a live event in Chicago this weekend. The big three of Wiebe, Mitchell and Chien are then off to New Jersey in March for a Donkey Kong challenge event where one of these top guns may just pip Chien's current record. Twin Galaxies have posted a great interview with Chien which you can read here.
