DK= pure genius

DK's legacy has died down over the years I will agree,but only because todays youth is getting dumber and dumber.All the kids want today are cool looking characters with lots of strange mechanical gadgets(examples are Fox of Starfox Adventures and Samus of Metroid Prime)

I mean, what isn't great about a cocoanut gun or a bunch of large primates playing small instruments(both examples featured in DK64)... it is genius

A true genuine gamer will always stick up for the simpleness yet greatness of an 800lb gorilla aimlessely searching for bananas

I don't really care if Mario has a water gun or Samus has a suit made by a elder bird race. Donkey Kong is still my favorite and most used Nintendo character. When playing games like the Mario get togethers such as Parties & Sports, and Super Smash Bros. series, I usually go for Donkey Kong and Mewtwo. It's odd how in Mario party and Kart everyone rushes to pick Yoshi, while I can take my time to pick Donkey Kong because I'm the only one who uses him.

Though I don't really see how a N64 game from 1999 is able to compete with Star Fox Adventures and Metroid Prime. With the Rare move there won't be another Donkey Kong adventure in a while. Even if there is one, hopefully Nintendo or whoever is developing it will know about the continuity Rare left them with such as Donkey Kong Sr. is now Cranky and Donkey Kong Jr. has grown up to be the current Donkey Kong.
