A DONKEY KONG GAME THAT MIGHT BE WORTH PLAYING? :D

**Galefore** · 06-18-2010, 02:35 AM

YES

YES

This E3 has made me feel like a goddamn kid again. New Zelda? OoT remake? NEW DKC?

i love you nintendo, oh how i do

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-18-2010, 06:52 AM

I hope it's more like the first DKC. After 2, it just got crappier and crappier. At first there were just the bonus rooms, that was fine making me carry a barrel everywhere and caressing it against every wall in every level. But then secret coins? Then a bigger, meta secret coin? And then banana birds? What the hell, Rare. You used to be cool.

***Cosmonautical*** · 06-18-2010, 10:03 AM

Yeah, that was kind of overkill. If you want to put in a secret world, just put in some really tough to find hidden entrances, that should be enough for chrissake.

CuccoLady · 06-18-2010, 10:47 PM

I didn't play 3, but 2 was one of my favorite games evar as a kid, and still is [ROLLER COASTER FTW].

Anyway, OMGOMGOMGWANT.

I am so hyped for about fifty different things right now. Thank you, E3.

**Crazyswordsman** · 06-19-2010, 08:47 AM

Ever since Rare bailed, I really am sort of skeptical of any DK game, but I will definitely want to get this. Hopefully we'll see Expresso and Winky return. -CSM

hey jungle beat was p. good

JaredThaJa888 · 07-05-2010, 02:48 AM

I loved all 3, for the Wii I hope it has more then just DK and Diddy playable.

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-05-2010, 08:00 AM

I hope it's just DK and Diddy. A big problem with games nowadays is that they spread their game too thin. It ends up being a crappy everything instead of a good something.

**Cravdraa** · 07-05-2010, 01:40 PM

From the sounds of it, they changed things up a bit. In single player only Donkey is playable, while Diddy just follows and provides assistance with his special abilities, kinda like Tails in the early Sonic games. In two player mode, the second player controls Diddy directly. Personally, I liked the tag-team method of the older games better because it was more unique, but I'm willing to give this a chance.

Also, no Kremlings. Makes me a little sad, but you can't blame Retro for wanting to try their own thing.
