They might complain I didn't disclose the full production team or some shit.

Loving the classic look with the added mechanics. Kinda funny Rare's past classics are getting revamped for modern times while they make games about pinatas (just a rib, I respect Rare).

lol "Dude this is sick, can I keep this?" "Ah... no"

[OssMan]

fucking hate donkey kong country

[Funky Fly]

Y?

[OssMan]

Don't like how it feels. Always confused on whether or not you will die by jumping on an enemy. When my friend and I played Donkey Kong Country 2 I spent like 2 hours trying to beat this level called Castle Crush. I don't know. Just don't like it

[Funky Fly]

Thephysics were always a little different, but that's a big part of why I loved the series.

[Requiem]

Look how easily this guy gets it.

Fantastic game series. Never cared for DK64, and never played the GC one.

[Droford]

why did I first think this was the DK64 game for the 3DS?

Nice to see that its back to the old style and not that crappy 3d version.

I loved the original Donkey Kong Country because Nintendo Power sent a promotional video to my house about the making of Donkey Kong Country.

Found it:

[Funky Fly]

lol awesome run.

[RoXer]

Yeah still have that VHS somewhere

[Xero]

LOL I had that VHS.

[Funky Fly]

I had that vid too. Good times.

Also had one for Banjo Kazooie

[RoXer]

Yeah.

Star Fox too

[Xero]

Loving the classic look with the added mechanics.

Yeah I have to say that, by that video, this is classic gaming with motion controls done right.

Hated the motion controls in NSMB Wii. They felt tacked on.

DK64 was awesome

[Gonzo]

Loved DK for the SNES. Played like 3 minutes of DK64 and turned it right off. Side scrolling for the win.

True. They're very different games obviously, just like Mario 64 was from the earlier games.
I thought it was pretty great though. I loved Banjo Kazooie a whole lot, which was very similar.

Took 2nd place at my Blockbuster's DKC tournament back in like 94 or whenever this came out. Fucking new kid came into town and doubled my score out of nowhere.

I had it to. I still have it in the cupboard behind me.

I posted this in the E3 thread but it's been confirmed that K.Rool and the Kremlings wont be in DKCR. Miyamoto thought it would be better to have new enemies and Retro went along with it. The new enemies are Tikis and random animals like moles dressed as miners.

No water levels in this game.

Playing in single player, you can only play as Donkey Kong. Diddy will pop up here and there in certain levels to help out. I'm guessing like Yoshi in NSMBW.

I can live without underwater levels but it sucks K.Rool isn't in. DKC is all about Kongs vs Kremlings. If they called it Donkey Kong: Rise of the Tiki or Donkey Kong: Tiki Trouble, fine because we know what to expect but calling it DKCR sounds as though it's going to be a continuation of DKC when it's actually a whole new story/series.

[Funky Fly]

I smell you on that.

Also, WTF @ no single player Diddy. Some of us don't have friends. Not me specifically, but you know. :shifty:

[Jeritron]

When will Funky Kong be playable? He was always my favorite of them all. Last I saw of him he had hung up his surfboard and was working as an arms dealer in DK64

[Funky Fly]

Funky Kong was my favourite for rather obvious reasons.

[OssMan]

Funky Kong always had top music.
