DKC 2 Coming To GBA

Metal Mario · 12-17-2003, 04:45 PM

Following the GBA port of the original Donkey Kong Country comes a handheld revival of DKC 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It's the same game, but boasts a couple of extra features, including something called a "DK Attack". There are also two mini-games, called "Funky's Fishing" and "Candy's Dance Studio". Both can be played alone or with a friend.

Good. They should've never brought DKC to GBA, since it was already on GBC

12-17-2003, 06:45 PM

Candy´s Dance Studio?
I knew it, they´ve scrapped every Kong and animal buddy that weren´t in DKC.
Come on out and tell the truth Ninty, we´re not mad at you...

^Um...what? Dude, it's the exact same game with the exact same characters.

Great, another re-make. Might as well milk the franchise as much as they can, as without Rare it seems the franchise is doomed to spin-offs and rehashes.

^Hey hey hey, let's not get hasty for those who do not own DKC2 for SNES [img]tongue.gif[/img]

theflyingfish · 12-18-2003, 12:15 AM

Well, I won't deny there are some obvious good things about this (portability is good even for those who already own the original DKC2), but I'd rather see an original title.

It's better than DKC getting ported again.

No, Candy wasn't in DKC 2. Anyways, I'll consider getting this game. Any news on the release date?

Metal Mario · 12-18-2003, 08:01 PM

I know. And Candy isn't in this version of the adventure either. She's merely relegated to an external mini-game.

Oh good! I love the DKC series on the SNES. I never had a SNES, but I loved playing it at my friend's house and I loved DKC and DKC 2. I have DKC for Game Boy Color, so I didn't buy the GBA version, but I'll buy DKC 2 for GBA.

12-21-2003, 09:49 PM

Meh. No.

12-22-2003, 07:24 AM

I still haven't beaten the SNES version.

DKC2 = AWESOME
-T2K

Falco53 · 12-22-2003, 05:24 PM

DKC2 was my favortie of the series. It was probably the first game I had played that made me scared.

I'll get this game after I get my SP.

Metal Mario · 12-22-2003, 06:16 PM

^Krazy Kremland's "Rambi Rumble" level. When I dropped down that shaft for the first time and the music changed and I saw that enormous Zinger coming up fast behind me, it scared the hell out of me.

Thank god.

Ah...Donkey Kong Country 2...one of my first SNES games ever. It is the greatest DKC game in the series IMO. I remember those bramble stages giving me hell...

12-31-2003, 01:38 AM

I still think 3 was better.

12-31-2003, 03:41 AM

^ and you're still wrong.
