Do it. I'm actually surprised he wasn't on the project, I mean, he's an independent composer now, no? With Retro being a North American studio and all, language it's not a problem...Kenka said:

Did you notice any references (even small ones?) to King K. Rool or the Kreming Krew?

Didn't play any--there are secret stages in each world, of which we didn't play them all, but I very much doubt there were any snow ones.

Can you turn off the option to have the white Donkey Kong prompt come up or do you just have to ignore it if you dont want to use him?
I can't wait to hopefully hear a re-mix of Fear Factory....and my other favorite: Life in the Mines! Are these 2 tracks in the game?

Oh no--the preview was only of what we could remember/took notes on. There's at least 8 per 'world.'

I was hoping for the spiritual successor to Gorilla Glacier.
I know the song from the snow levels is returning. One of the videos released had it playing in the background during a fossil canyon type of level. So I suppose those canyon levels could be considered spiritual successors to Ice Age Alley and such.

Was their ever a reason for this? I dont mind the new guys but it's just odd is all.
It's be like Metroid without metroids, mario without bowser or goombas, and zelda without gannondorf or octoroc.

Metroid Prime Hunters has no Metroids.
Super Mario Bros. 2 obviously has neither and Super Mario Sunshine had no Goombas
Ganon never appears in Majora's Mask, and no Octorocs in Twilight Princess.
richisawesome said:
Well yeah, that goes without saying. I kinda hope they have a remix tune or two from that game, but that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

We already know there are no water stages. Retro tested them out but felt they were too slow and broke the pace of the game.

If Hot-Head Hop makes any kind of appearance, there will cum buckets.
From what I've heard though nearly all the remixes seem to be from the original game.

My anticipation for this game has made me decide to change my avatar.

For those who've played it, how is the control and collision detection? I found the control and collision detection in the original games to be loose and sloppy, and that kept them from being great games IMO. The collision detection certainly looks a lot better than the original trilogy from the videos.
this game looks great! and finally someone explain how does this game control in a videoKard8p3 said:
stand + shake = slam the ground
walk + shake = roll
couch + shake = blow
and i know how fast you move when your rolling!
i will probably hold the controller side way like NSMB
EDITED: and in this video we can see Donkey Kong got hit! XD

I didn't have any problems with it. But then again, I never had any major problems in the original either, short of the occasionally animal buddy/underwater sequence.

I'm pretty sure we discuss the controls in our discussion:

At any rate, you nailed the controls. In addition, "A" Jumps, "B" or "Z" buddies up.

How would you do a continuous roll, blow or ground pound. Just press C over and over again?

His name's ConfusingJazz for a reason, you know :lol
But seriously, the motion controls worked fine, after a short adjustment period (and I didn't even think I would like them, from my time with the game at E3 and PAX).
Easy_D said:
Yep, like in the original DKC games (double roll = holding the button).
Blow and ground pound could still be mapped to motion controls, rolling is my main concern.
fake edit:
Glad to hear they work fine. I never had a problem with shaking in SMG or NSMB, so I'm sure I'll get used to it.redbarchetta said:
Why would you do that?

Woah, thanks for the heads-up...DryvBy2 said:
I need to start buying games from Newegg. No stupid 9% tax, cheaper ($48 instead of $50), and is at my door in one day, even with the slowest shipping.
