British game. 

 

i.e. not Japanese.

Donkey Kong.

what about it?  an established franchise going back years now released on the wii?  this relates to LBP how?

It wasn't developed in Japan and it didn't flop.

The origins are Japanese.  Please dont try and belittle the importance of a 30 year history which began in Japan with Nintendo.

No one relates Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Jr. to the Donkey Kong Country games.
