So ign has been doing for he past few weeks short "let's play" of 125 Classic Nintendo favorites because of the company's 125th anniversary. Until today I had watched the majority of them. They are of course not reviews, just a couple of ign editors playing briefly one of them, reminiscing and sharing why they think that game deserves to be honored like so.
Everything was fine and dandy until I watched earlier today's DKC1 IGN Plays. They completely dropped the ball and you guys just need to watch and listen to this crap.
1) one editor states he's "not into Mario games"
2) says he was two when DKC1 launched (he wasn't two. He was 4. How do I know this?)
3) they got the launch year wrong. They said 92. It was 94. Hell you get a big "1994 NINTENDO" screen everytime you turned the game on!
4) seldomly ever used the run button while playing and spends the video trying to see how he can fling Diddy to reach higher places forgetting that wasn't introduced until DKC2. They couldn't bother to look for the control scheme or release date in google.
5) one of them calls Diddy "Dwindly" or some crap like that.
6) they thought a good idea for honoring DKC1 and Nintendo was reminiscing of Myst and Diablo instead.
7) I'll paraphrase: "what are you trying to spell?... Oh KONG! I get it now. This isn't so much a IGN plays DKC1 but a IGN figured out DKC1".
A complete disservice and a lack of respect to such an incredible classic. Happy to see the comment section agrees with me and I wanted GAF to share with me the distaste and dissapointment.
