It had two stupid Sega and Sony goons kidnapping a Nintendo employee to make him reveal the secrets of Nintendos next game.

I'm not surprised. The rivalry was "fierce" back then.

Most everyone with an SNES probably remembers stuff like this:

You would think that SEGA would have a lot to say about their mascot being depicted as a Nazi nutjob.

It was most likely because SMW2 Yoshi's Island came out just a couple months or so before DKC2 did, both in late 1995. I actually distinctly remember getting both of these games as Xmas presents that year.

A rival company, generally viewed as likely to be Sega, left a smashed up arcade machine in front of Nintendo's headquarters as a threat.

During the olden times video game companies went hard.
