This year I will have put a new Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby, and Mario game all together on my shelf. This truly makes me a very happy person.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Nintendo's first party output has been amazing.

This.

So good.

I like coconut juice but not coconut itself.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Great stuff, too bad they couldn't get a good looking box art for the Metroid Prime games. :lol

[Gilby]

Damn, I am really enjoying the look of the villains now.

 

[bridegur]

This is my most anticipated game for the last half of the year. Everything about it looks great.

 

[JasoNsider]

Holy snap, I know it's just a box but that is fantastic.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Dat box.

 

[Sagitario]

The way "Returns" blends with the background [because of the colors] bothers me, other than that, I like it...

 

[Cygnus X-1]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an amazing box. Rambi is back!

What are the chances of a DKCR+wii bundle for holidays?

Nintendo MUST do a pack with the Wii. If not, they miss a giant opportunity.

 

[GaussTek]

I hope the world map(s) turn amazing too.

 

[Shadowlink]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sadist]

I want this game even more now.

This with Epic Mickey are my most anticipated titles.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

And with that music track.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Rambi looks so depressed Great cover!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I don't get the love for the box.

I mean it's OK, but... it's a box. It's not a work of art like, say, the Kirby boxart is. (I'm actually anticipating DKCR much more than Kirby btw.)

All box art is art. Art can be bad. Good thing this one isn't.

 

[Why would you do that?]

The boxart is pretty cool. It's quite colorful, energetic, and nostalgic.

Add me to the list of anticipating this game over anything else this year.

Also, the first thing I'll do is beat the game and then copy my save file and play the game in Dolphin to see the better parts in HD.

And with that music track.

Fixed!

 

[agrajag]

Rambi looks stupid

 

[JaseC]

Fixed!

You know, given DKCR does away with the pirate theme, I agree. Welcome to Crocodile Isle is the better track, though.

 

[upandaway]

Now every fucking time I look at the box art I immediately check for those fucking glasses!

:lol fuck!!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

So does anyone know when we will be getting some new footage?

I can’t stop thinking about how awesome this will be recently.

Neo SpaceWorld maybe?

I like you. I never could get into DKC2&3... felt way too different.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I think the "Country" blends in more with all that green everywhere. They should have used the original typeface for it, but its fine I guess.

I'll never understand people's hatred for CG art. :\

Funny since they were all composed by the same guy (with other people too, but still)

2 is the second best DK game after Jungle Beat.

 

[Snuggles]

Forgive me for being out of the loop, but do we know what the control scheme will be like for DK Returns? Is it gonna be the standard nunchuk + wiimote? Cuz I could see the horizontal wiimote style being used like Other M/NSMB Wii and actually working very well with this.

 

[Gravijah]

Well, not music wise... I just couldn't get into the games. I do like the music from DKC2 and 3, though.

Both are options.

Thankfully there's still someone associated with Nintendo that actually does this most obvious solution.

You can actually use the Wii Remote/Nunchuck combo with New Super Mario Bros Wii.
I figured this out like 2 months ago and was aghast.

What.

Good to hear they're allowing for both set ups, it really is the best option. I'll definitely go with just the 'mote but I'm glad those who don't dig the set up won't suffer. Good stuff, I'm looking forward to this and I haven't played as DK (aside from Smash Bros) since the 64.

No. Just... no.
Jungle Beat pales in comparison to DKC trilogy.

WTF is this shit?

 

[Gravijah]

What's so special about Jungle Beat, anyways? ... Can you use the bongos from the GC on the Wii version? I bought those shits and never used 'em.

You can't use them. The NPC version is also very good, but the original is superior.

Think a combo based platformer made by the team that made Galaxy. I could say it's better than both Galaxies and it wouldn't sound farfetched at all.

 

[Gravijah]

Meeeeeeh, I'll dig it out someday and rent it. Could be good.

Probably.

 

[upandaway]

Geez can we please treat opinions as opinions now, I didn't dig JB all that much. The combo aspect and the terrible bosses.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Donkey Kong Country 2 is better than Jungle Beat.

I love Jungle Beat but DKC2 is among the greatest 2D platformers made. It's not only a brilliant audiovisual experience but it took the rather pedestrian mechanics of DKC and went nuts with it. For the most part the game's level design is up there with Nintendo's best.

Jungle Beat is certainly better than the other two DKC games though.

 

[Boney]

You may very well not like it. It's controls are definately intimidating, and if you're not using combos the leves seem pretty standard.

I thought bosses were amazing. Both Kong fights, and regular ones.

But seriously, once you start going for the combos and stuff, it becomes one the most ingenous platformers ever concieved, with some of the best level design in gaming.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

DKC2 is good. Jungle Beat is fantastic.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Jungle Beats bosses are what ruined it for me. The levels were fine, but the bosses really dragged it down. Same shit over and over.

 

[scitek]

You can't use them. The NPC version is also very good, but the original is superior.

I thought the Wii version's motion sensing was way too sensitive. DK would clap for no reason a lot of times while I was playing. I LOVE the game with the bongos, though. I did a retrospective on the GameCube version when it was re-released on the Wii.
