これに対し任天堂の米国法人であるNintendo of Americaは逆に「ユニバーサル映画が訴訟を提起したことは『ドンキーコング』の名誉を毀損した」として反訴。 しかもユニバーサル映画は『キングコング』(1933年版)に関する版権を取得せずにリメイク版の『キングコング』(1976年版)を制作していたことも判明。 「ユニバーサル映画は『キングコング』に関する版権を保有していない」と判決され、敗訴。
Storyline:
1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.
