I hope the levels' names are still alliterations and punsJaseC said:I hope there's an overworld. You can't have a DKC game without an overworld.

Controlled by a group of evil Tikis, the animals in Donkey Kong Island have raided Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard and stolen his stash of bananas - and he understandably wants them back. Retro Studios brings Donkey Kong back in a new side-scrolling adventure with familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had for the Super NES original.
Features:
* Retro Studios faithfully restores everything that made the original series great, from barrel cannons to mine carts, and then builds on those elements with stunning graphics and new layers of depth to the world and game play. The game offers the traditional side-scrolling experience everyone loved, but with levels created in fully rendered 3-D environments.
* Diddy Kong joins the quest. With his trusty backpack, he can produce a jet pack or Peanut Pop Guns to give Donkey Kong more abilities.
* For the first time ever, the franchise features the ability for two people to play together at the same time (additional accessories required and are sold separately) - one as Donkey Kong, one as Diddy Kong. Players can navigate the levels separately or as one unit. Diddy Kong can ride on Donkey Kong's back and hop off whenever he pleases, allowing novice players to ride on Donkey Kong's back through more challenging areas of the game.
*Hidden items, puzzle pieces and other surprises are found all through the jungle. Spell out K-O-N-G by the end of each level to earn an extra bonus.
* Motion controls give players a real feeling of control. Players move Donkey Kong using the Control Stick on the Nunchuk controller and can shake the Wii Remote controller to make Donkey Kong slap the ground.
* Vibrant colors, beautiful graphics and fun characters draw players in. Even people who have never played a Donkey Kong game before can pick up a controller and start collecting loads of bananas.
* Every level offers new fun and new challenges. Sometimes Donkey Kong is running through the jungle, sometimes his action takes place on a tropical beach and other times he must become a master of timing as he jumps chasms in a mine cart.

The platforming looks really really standard and unimaginative. At least it's more fast paced than I recall the old dkc playing, but then again that may be because this is a trailer showing "cool" stuff in small doses.
Oh wait, I mean, holy moly it's a game that reminds me of something I played as a kid. Goty!

Trailer looks really nice, loving the co-op functions.

_Alkaline_ said:The Donkey Kong games, particularly the second, were terrific so I'm not sure the problem of having another game that plays like them?
Brashnir said:Want an imaginitive 2D platformer? They showed one of those too.
Andrex said:Wait, was that a Golbat in the cave section?
Mr. B Natural said:I don't understand how someone can roll their eyes to another COD but go apeshit over this. Pun intended of course :lol
