nu-DKC is trash, anything not made by rare isn't real donkey kong

>>14334673

They should have just gone and made it a full 3D world. The two new DKC games are good but like >>14334686 said they just aren't quite the same as the old games.

I wonder if we'll ever get a DK RPG?

>Tropical Freeze were both garbage

do you hate fun?

>>14334727

>DK RPG?

I would play it. you thinking like a classic light RPG or something like paper Mario? I think a DK RPG that played like paper Mario would work.

>>14334858

Paper Kong for certain.

>Paper Kong

What would the partners be like?

>>14335360

Flip-Flap (DK64) = Carries DK across gaps long enough for DK to jump across, and short enough for the Flip-Flap partner to carry DK across it

>>14335460

"Long enough where DK can't jump across" I meant.

>They should have just gone and made it a full 3D world.

I completely agree, and allow me to segue into this topic.

One thing lots of people say about Donkey Kong 64 is "you should be able to switch characters at will", and that's a really bad idea because we've seen that in Sonic Heroes and Sonic Boom. When you switch to Tails or Knuckles, it doesn't feel like a separate character with pros and cons that you must adapt to using, because Sonic is right there, you're just using a different ability to get past some obstacle for a moment.

If there were no DK Crew barrels, instead of being challenged to get from point A to point B with only the abilities of one Kong (or two Kongs as a reward for not getting hit), all of them would effectively be merged into an Omni-Kong who can do anything and go anywhere, so there's hardly any point in making them different characters at all.

>but muh Kremlings

>>14338563

Instead of your idea or the backtracking bullshit, let's have a draw. You'd need special Teleportation Kong Koins to summon a character at will, and if you run out of koins, you can simply collect or buy more with your bananas.

I'm not sure there's really much need for a third one. At least not quite yet. I'm not sure they could top Tropical Freeze anyway. I'd rather see Retro tackling a new series.

>>14338563

The smartest thing to do would just be to remove the Kong specific item pickups. Having to switch to Diddy every time there's a red banana, and then switch back to DK every time there's a yellow banana is what made that game so tedious.

Tropical Freeze DK I meant.

>I am mainly referring to character design and small quirks like the barrels being more cartoony and having "Squash n Stretch", rather than simulating a real cannon. That "suck slurp" sound the barrels make is weird as well

I have to say, I could not give less of a shit about that.

>>14338661

To each his own anon, some people's autism gets the best of them. I am one of those people. Having that rare 'charm' come back would bring me some pleasure, which can be done, knowing the man who worked on the music for Tropical Freeze, one of the best VGM to come out in a decade. We both know who that man is, and he invited some fresh faces who played his compositions as well.

kremlin krew when

>>14338712

I remember a retro interview saying they wouldn't like to 'stain' the legacy of rare by forcing kremlings into the next game. They're being humble and modest if I recall.

>>14334997

I might actually buy a switch for a game like that

if its actually good

>>14338721

seems ridiculous when you're already making a Donkey Kong game

>>14338721

I like the fact that the Retro games tried new villains. The tikis were forgettable, but the Snowmads were great.

>>14338739

Yeah, honestly, by the second game, I was ready to move on. The first game left a bad taste in my mouth, though TP was DKC2 tier, which is a very good thing! The snowmads are pretty fucking cool, just wish the king had a better reason to be there, that was sort of an issue with K. Rool, but at least he gets some back story with the "Great Ape War", and all that. Though, it doesn't matter in the long run, that badass final boss music just makes me want to bash some skulls in.

>>14338735

I'll look for the interview, it's something like "Why kremlings aren't in Donkey Kong Country Returns", or something above those lines. It was near the launch of TP iirc. Details are hazy.

>>14338610

This is good, and I would also cut down on Kong-specific interactable objects, like the switches that need a specific firearm and the floor pads that require a specific musical instrument.

Give DK his coconut gun (the only one mentioned in the rap), give Dixie her guitar (she had one first), give Diddy his jetpack and so on, one device per Kong, make them all unique intead of having five reskins of the same thing.

>>14334712

Donkey kong for the gameboy was pretty fucking good. Huge amount of content for such a simple game.
