Donald Land Donald Land is a Famicom game developed and published by Data East. It was released only in Japan on January 29, 1988. It is based on McDonald's characters. The reason that it's called "Donald Land" instead of Ronald Land is that Ronald McDonald is known as "Donald McDonald" in Japan. Due to the differences between Japanese and English consonant sounds, it is considered to be too difficult for Japanese to pronounce the "R" sound in their native language (as it is often sounded like their "L" sound). Unlike M.C. Kids, this game is simply a generic platformer without any puzzle elements to it whatsoever. [source:wikipedia]
