Fuck yea that looks sweet. Here is hoping the game is at least somewhat challenging and allows use of the classic controller (been kinda out of the loop with pretty much everything Nintendo since E3 so I bet both of those request have already been shot down :( )

I swear to God I'm only getting this and Golden Sun this year, no more.

Agreed!

And they better not make the mine cart levels a cakewalk in this. I've been waiting a long time for some more challenging mine cart levels.

pretty much

The animation on those sharks is incredible.

FPSes and MMOs are the only two genres I actively avoid.

I just love the graphical style in this game.
Praying it's actually good.

Aww... but it's stupid fps fun!

then mickey i guess... but I can't beat you in that...

Segata Sanshiro · (10-25-2010, 05:05 AM)

I really hope this game is better than Rare's DKC games. I could use a good new sidescroller.

SupraDarky · (10-25-2010, 05:06 AM)

Looking great. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's a bit worried about the music though. The music by David Wise and even Fischer in the SNES games played such an important part, I just hope Kenji Yamamoto can work some magic as well for this one.

Scrow · (10-25-2010, 05:08 AM)

the exaggerated design and animation of the characters are awesome. retro really have a lot of range in their skill/talent going from metroid to this.

Foffy · (10-25-2010, 05:08 AM)

I got goosebumps at the rendition of Mine Cart Madness.

I love you, Kenji Yamamoto.

digita1alchemy · (10-25-2010, 05:08 AM)

Looks good, but the music leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe it's just because it's just sort snippets in a trailer.

Are you a DKC2 hater?

I am a DKC indifferenter. The games are mediocre with shitty-to-average level design and wonderful presentation. Oh yeah, and sloppy as shit collision detection.

I mean, I never played DKC3, so maybe they pulled it up in that one? I don't know.

My only concerns - music and atmosphere. It's gonna be extremely hard to top the originals in these departments!

Takao · (10-25-2010, 05:18 AM)

I'm not going to lie, I thought Boney and Regulus were the same person for a moment there.

I also for a moment thought New Donkey Kong Country Returns was the actual name for the game. But "New" is only for Mario, and crappy shovelware franchises.

Zzoram · (10-25-2010, 05:18 AM)

I'm probably going to buy this. I need my annual Wii game to justify the console.

Pretty true, I never understood the love for the franchise, but I'll try anything with Retro attached to it.

where is Twig when we need him...

why don't you just go to an elementary school and fucking announce over the intercom that Santa Claus doesn't exist

Mickey's 2D portions look so good. It's just bad that it has to be sandwiched between, well, everything else.

I actually agree with this.

Sometimes I can't tell Boney, Regulus Tera, and Gravijah apart.

Or the half dozen people with the Kirby avatar or the half dozen of us with the LIMBO-kid-dying avatars :lol

ZeroGravity · (10-25-2010, 05:27 AM)

Don't care if it's a popular opinion or not, but I thought DKC2 was the best game on the SNES. Like, ever.

Going to really love this game.

R-r-r-r-rocket pack double jump!?

Game looks awesome. Have they released any footage/screens of underwater stages?

Volcynika · (10-25-2010, 05:29 AM)

I always think those three are Gravijah.

Stupid question I haven't been paying attention: Is this multiplayer local co-op or whatever? Would be fun to bring to work for lunch breaks.

There are no underwater parts.

Jesus guys :(

Me and Regulus have 2 neurons, gravijah likes kingdom hearts.

They probably opted not to put any water levels in because they knew they couldn't get any music as good as Aquatic Ambience or Lockjaw's Saga.

He [Tanabe] also revealed that water stages are nowhere to be found in Donkey Kong's new adventure, stating that they felt too slow, and it wasn't the gameplay they were looking for.

Well, those were the two reasons I wanted them.

Curses.

So stoked. Love me some Retro, love me some DKC.

Has there been any info on what else Retro is working on? Or is DKCR taking up the whole studio?

Edit: I always hated the underwater levels, Retro knows whats up.

Segata Sanshiro · (10-25-2010, 05:36 AM)

Hunh. The underwater levels were some of the ones that actually *did* work well in the old games. Ah well. Guess we'll see.

pakkit · (10-25-2010, 05:36 AM)

I don't have a Wii anymore. This is fucking torment.

I always found that the collision detection issues were the worst in the underwater levels, the music was great but everything always felt so imprecise. Not really bothered one way or another, but it is a shame that we wont be hearing Aquatic Ambiance.

Yeah, the collision was awful in the underwater levels. But pretty awful in general. The underwater levels were at least designed better than Rare's usual, though. I guess with a different developer, I shouldn't worry so much that the land levels are going to fall into the same traps as Rare's.
