Literally looks nothing like Donkey Kong. Eat shit.
Fuck this
DONKEY KONG'S EYEBROWS ARE TOO HIGH
Literally looks everything like Donkey Kong. Eat bananas.
It looks HORRENDOUS.
Literally nothing could be more soulless than fighting rocks.
Will be better than DK 64 at the very least but that bar is lower than a midget’s dick.
Diggy hole is peak sovl
It completely defeats the point of platforming if the platforms don't matter.
Game will be shit.
Yeah. It actually looks fun. We need to move on from the Donkey Kong Country formula.
Autistic people are extremely adverse to change.
nooo the cartoon animal isn't exactly how I want it to look
really nigger? do you have any self awareness
Chris would probably love NuDonkey
This looks fun. And we're extremely overdue for a 3D DK game because you faggots were bitching about DK64.
Donkey kong movie is not even out and Nintendo already released the game tie-in
Fpbp. All I can wish for are proper fights like Jungle Beat
This is goty 2025
This is just Wario world
It should look like the show!
People bitching about the expressions are IDIOTS
Donkey Kong Country 1 started off with a gag about TNT and a huge eyes take. The 1940s cartoon influence was always there.
New style has a Doug Tennapel flavor
Yup, it's official.
This was the peak of the franchise.
Good night Donkey, thanks for everything
...but better.
This wholeheartedly should've been a Wario game
They're expressive, dude. He's always had cartoonishly high eyebrows, even back in the Rareware days. It's called having personality—better that than the dead-eyed stare some other mascots have.
It's literally much closer to Miyamoto's OG design. Way to out yourself as a fake fan.
Designs are not allowed to improve, only regress
Why is Nintendo still ass mad over Rare?
Literally looks nothing like Super Mario. Eat shit.
Poor guy needed help bad
hire this man
Japs are finally eradicating the last trace of baka anglo gaijin influence from their nintendo games
Good, thank you based Miyamato senpai
he just doesn't look like a donkey anymore
Permanently tarnished Miyamoto's story of being the "Ultimate creator of all things Nintendo"
Tropical Kino
Played both Returns HD and TF recently, good games but the loose and slippery controls were such a poor design choice.
There's an animation lock when landing or turning around (yes, simply turning around is a long animation) and you can neither execute nor even buffer a roll during these, which leads to a lot of dropped inputs and the roll being a risky move to pull, which shouldn't be the fucking case in a platformer this fast paced.
The Impossible Lair (a DKC clone from the OG devs) doesn't have this issue, you can roll instantly whenever on the ground and it makes the game play so much better it's no joke. TIL's final chapter is much harder than anything in Retro games but it's never frustrating because the controls are so tight.
it's not a platformer though, it's described as action adventure, the whole trailer is Dk going apeshit
Rarefags are a collective Nintendo version of Chris-chan.
Retro was busy with Prime 4 so no DKC
Nintendo was busy with 3D DK so no word on 3D Mario
this is conflicting
There are lots of 3D Mario games already.
I wish to pull down his overalls.
Youre retarded.
Why is it called Donkey Kong when you dont play as Donkey Kong? Who is the new character you play as?
With this I confirm something I suspected for a long time, I like Donkey Kong "Country"...
I hate Miyamoto so fucking much. Hes the main culprit for every bad decision Nintendo has ever made. When ever something universally hated by fans is discussed it always goes back to Miyamoto being to blame
The miyamoto design is kinda shit desu. Makes him look like a guy named gus. Gus kong.
why did they give him feathers
Donkey Kong
don't play it then, you ugly faggot
miyamoto's design doesn't matter to me
Like thats the name of the game, I get it. But i dont see Donkey Kong anywhere in the trailer. So is the new character DK jr?
This.
Gus Kong
Best post I've read on Anon Babble in years, genuinely laughed. I finally feel like I can quit this site. That was it, the perfect post I've been looking for all this time. Thank you anon for freeing me.
The funnest part is that this whole DK brow whining has been louder and bigger than the blue arms Sonic thing.
So is Mario going to show up dressed like Fix it Felix or what
Miyamoto can gobble my balls, man's a dinosaur.
So Cranky is allowed to keep his Rare design?
brow whining
Why are you patronizing people for legitimate complaints
game franchise does the same thing over and over
heh... imagine being a slop eating normie buying the same thing over and over
franchise tries something new
its so over its literally entirely different why even make it a ____ game just make it a new game
this place is hell
Literally looks nothing like Donkey Kong
Neither did this shit and you fags suck it off all the time.
thats donkey king with a new art style, you know how super mario looks different in super mario wonder?
Am I being mass gaslit? Is this what being gangstalked is like? DK looks fucking fine. How the fuck does anyone screech at this design? I'm not seeing what could make anyone assmad.
IS MY CARTOON GORILLA MORE CARTOONY.....????? WTF!?!?!?!!? DEI !?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!!
Donkey Kong: Fujoshi edition
keep sucking miyamoto's senile cock
It's over.
sounds takanaka
It expands his dong
Lol thanks anon, I couldn't think of any other way to put it. That's him.
Britbongers on suicide watch
Retard baby thinks Rareware invented Donkey Kong
Homecoming Hijinx is the best track in the whole series
youtube.com
NOOO I CAN'T ACCEPT CHANGE!!! EVERYTHING MUST STAY HOW IT WAS WHEN I WASN'T AN OLD BITTER BOOMER!!!
Rare made Shityamoto's boring concept actually interesting
He looks awesome
i dont mind the new dk design
the problem is why is his partner a purple rock instead of diddy kong
The era of Rare slop is finally over
DK arcade Bros. We are going back.
Tbf, Rare's design was a typical 90's RADICAL cartoon character. We're long past that era, so a less aggressive and more expressive look makes a lot more sense.
people actually prefer the left
....
Stop pretending you ever cared about DK lmao
Forced soul.
super mario wonder?
I hated that fucking art style. I didnt buy it
Retarded faggots do
Why does he have feathers?
Thats not the real Donkey Kong
DO NOT BELIEVE HIS LIES
Fuck you guys, this looked surprisingly good, actually the only NS2 game I would want to play (but never will because I won't buy a NS2)
Anon Babble is so fucking shitty it's unreal. none of these faggots play game. none of them.
and the reason is now understood
Bro ive been playing DK and DK Jr for ages every since Animal Crossing has the NES games. I never cared for DK Country.
Retro niggers arent real fans. Been saying this for years. REAL Dk fans (Rareware and OG Arcade) are finally getting a proper game.
HIS ARMS ARE NOT BLUE!!!
wrong looking DK redesign
Ok.
no classic DK music
Ok.
no DK Crew
Ok.
no animal buddy rides/transformations
Ok.
weird ass Minecraft digging shit
Ok.
no Kremlings
Ok.
dumb-ass DK voice from the Retro games, the only bad part of the games
Ok.
If there was one or two of these things I'd be alright with it, but all of it together just makes it not seem like DK and instead some other game they slapped the DK brand on. It's the first DK game in more than ten years and somehow they took my excitement from a maximum 10 down to like a 4 from the beginning to end of the trailer.
I play games but they're all 20+ years old
Radical 90s style never goes out of style. Just ask sonicfags.
DK crew is indeed confirmed via Nintendo Today footage
ok but the point is its the same character
i fucking sorry
no DK Crew
Except they're in the game, retard.
no animal buddy rides/transformations
Expresso was in the fucking trailer front and center.
dumb-ass DK voice from the Retro games, the only bad part of the games
He's had that voice in every game since Jungle Beat, moron.
That's just Cranky and it seems like he's an NPC in the world not playable.
Which I'm guessing is because they made it around the destructible environments so you can't have all the kongs cause they can't all smash stuff.
OMG SO WACKY
I like that he gets to be happy now. It's also a character rebrand as much as it is a design change.
I feel like he borrows more from his earlier, pre-Rare designs.
He's had that voice in every game since Jungle Beat, moron.
Not him but his voice was way better in Jungle Beat than the games that came after it. I love DKCR and Tropical Freeze but his voice was horrible. It was even worse in the Rabbids game.
Except they're in the game, retard.
Cool where in the trailer did they show you playing as/with any of them?
Expresso was in the fucking trailer front and center.
As an NPC not a ride transformation.
He's had that voice in every game since Jungle Beat, moron.
Yeah and it's shit.
Read before you (You), nigger.
Odyssey was nearly 8 years ago. And no Bowser's Fury doesn't count, I finished that shit in a one sitting in just a couple hours.
Fake outrage
Nu-Anon Babble is so boring nowadays
moving the goalposts to the fucking moon right off the bat
LMAO
As an NPC not a ride transformation.
Prove it, dick breath.
we should go back to that era
He looks fine. Very much a monke.
Peak was DKC 2 zoomie
anon doesn't know what "moving goalposts" means
Yeah, post hand.
BASED. We have a real DK fan here unlike most of Anon Babble.
Retard.
What did they even change? Looks the same as always to me.
I don't give a fuck about these Debbie downers. The game looks fun as fuck, smashing things and rolling through shit. DK is a pure force of nature in this one. I don't need anthro crocodiles or a more acute brow ridge to get excited.
donkey kong bazinga
I havent seen environment destruction like that since Red Faction. Looks really fun.
Why are people saying Rare DK isn't expressive, play returns/dong freeze hes very animated there
I feel like I'm going insane because all that's different is his eyebrow ridge is bent the other way and people are losing their fucking minds.
He looks 90% the same. It's fine.
Nothing about this resembles the Donkey Kong series. Where are all the iconic environments from DKC?
Maybe its due to my love of DK94 but I don't mind either design.
I think it will get old fast
It looks the environment doesn't have much point to it besides destroying shit, the level design looks like ass
DK 64
bad
tired of this history revisionism by youtube essayists forcing themselves to 100% the game
Looks fun. Not even a tendie and i want to play it. I always had cold feet with the switch because i always thought that pro model was coming out at some point until it didn't. So this might be the right time to get into it.
Yeah this was cool.
You don't know what exactly this game is thoughbeit
what are the odds that they were developing odyssey 2 and just said fuck it lets make it a dk game
Zero.
looks great desu
game convinced me even more that Kong was robbed from beating Bowser's ass in the dumb movie
everyone randomly referring to him as "kong" suddenly
Stop fucking calling him that you faggots, his name is DK
DONKEY KONG
HUH
Fuck off with this lame ass abbreviation shit. He's one of many kongs, it's like calling Mario "Italian".
I've noticed this same faggotry with super hero names.
I mean true but he's still the most recognized one so when you say Kong people immediately know which one you're referring to
It's a stupid hollywood trend where things being shorter is more poetic somehow therefore cooler. So everything needs to be one word.
Kong
Pan
Poo
Fart
No, I have never fucking heard anyone call DK "kong" passingly until after these threads. Are you people shills? I think you're shills. This is in lots of dk threads right now after literally everyone just says "dee-kay" (DK.) Nobody fucking calls him "kong" for that reason, that's fucking stupid.
God this game fucking rocks and it's about as mechanically barebones as it gets
It's more like "Smith" or "Johnson" is a common last name but it makes sense if you're the only one of that name who works in the building.
Who the fuck doesn't know Diddy Kong or Cranky if they know DK? Nintendo fans who played him in mario kart and never touched a DK game before? No, I will die on this hill, I refuse to accept it.
Context matters. No one went into watching "Kong: Skull Island" thinking they were going to watch a Donkey Kong movie.
Because the secret Donkey kong movie was Kong vs Godzilla
Looks like a gamecube game running on dolphin at 4k.
Considering the built in dolphin fork Ninty is doing for their classics, I'm wouldn't be surprised if this is all it is under the hood. Ancient gamecube code running on an emulator at ZOMG 4K GUIZ.
Ass.
Who is this new Kong they're introducing?
Sex Kong.
Exactly so nobody would just call him "Kong" they call him DK. Literally 99% of people who know what a donkey kong is call him DK, and the other percent calls him dankey kang.
Viet
AYOOOOO LIL BRO IS BUSSING!!! BRO IS UNIRONICALLY LITERALLY JUST LIKE MY TWITTER MEMES LETS GOOOOOOO CHAT ITS PEAK ONG FR
im already at a point where this version of DK looks weird and scary to me, at least in HD
Going from perfection to slop is pretty bad, yeah.
yea, that's donkey kong
shills for what? the movie?
use an iconic design that's heavily recognizable for over 30 years
change it for no reason whatsoever
WTF IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS YOU'RE AUTISTIC
you zoomer N64 niggers are pathetic
You don't see disney turning Mickey back do you, fucking retard
They didn't change it for no reason, they want DK to feel like he's "theirs" again and lowering DK game production for a period and waiting to soft reboot the IP was the perfect excuse to get away with it.
No Man's Dong.
Wario world 2 bros....its over...
If anything, DK getting a game like this makes me hopeful that eventually the Wa bros are gonna get their own 3D platformer at some point
The purple rock is pretty cute
Murder the company that makes your character iconic
Astroturf over their design because “enough time has passed”
Disgusting
why did they put rare dk into the new super nintendo world if they were just going to redesign him less than a year later?
Production delays. The plans were drawn up almost a decade ago.
not my kong
fpbp
30 years later
japs still seething that the 3 best Donkey Kong games will always be the DKC trilogy
fixed
It's just so weird coming off how much they seemed to be opening up to acknowledging the snes games and K Rool, even using him in a sprite animation for the og trilogy on switch. Like you didn't need new villains, you had one everyone was ready to see return and were just like "no, also rare dk is done"
Ok im not crazy right? THAT IS A DIFFERENT KONG! THATS NOT DONKEY! I THINK IT MIGHT BE GROWN UP KIDDIE KONG
Which is why people gave DKC3 shit
They literally have put Steamboat Mickey in their promos just to make copyright prolonging arguments.
It's because he has an M which stands for Mario.
It looks fun and high quality as hell.
The people comparing it to Wario World made me a tiny bit upset tho. Would've been kinoer and a nice break from the 'ware mines.
You actually have the majority opinion here. There is nothing wrong with a the new design that is still clearly a silly monkey.
this, i didn't even finish dick freeze it was that boring
It's always nice to see secondaries not understanding that the new design is literally a mix of both Rare's redesign and DK's original design by Miyamoto. You're literally mad about Nintendo actually acknowledging his history and doing something fun with it.
That's like being upset with SEGA for making a game with classic Sonic. It's a retarded argument.
how a character looks is more important than the gameplay
I knew Anon Babble was retarded but cmon
DK's original design by Miyamoto
No one gives a shit about that design. It's like pretending anyone cared about the X-Men when Stan Lee wrote them
his name is DONG
This and Returns felt nothing like the first three DKC games
I have no idea what you people are smoking
It's always nice to see secondaries not understanding that the new design is literally a mix of both Rare's redesign and DK's original design by Miyamoto
No, people absolutely do understand
You're literally mad about Nintendo actually acknowledging his history and doing something fun with it.
Yes. Memberberries and references doesn't excuse a design being worse than the sum of its parts
Such as?
People calling him "Steve" or "Cap" instead of Captain America.
No one gives a shit about that design.
It's the design associated with the character that made him a worldwide pop culture icon in the first place you revisionist retard LMAO.
Why did suddenly the DK fandom became as autistic as the Sonic/Mario fandom?
Yes. Memberberries and references doesn't excuse a design being worse than the sum of its parts
Why because his eyebrows are slightly different? Like what the fuck kind of petty non-argument are you even trying to make
I can only assume they've been in hibernation since the last country game. It's actually insane to my that anyone gives a shit about the design update.
I couldn't really tell what kind of game this was. It billed itself like a 3D Mario, but seemed more like a sandbox? Iunno.
Hey, CAPTAIN AMERICA, I'm having a party tonight. Do you, THE FALCON and THE WINTER SOLIDER want to come?
I mean I guess it's more vintage comic book accurate
He looks better.
You people are always either complaining Nintendo games never change, or they arbitrarily changed too much.
sonys/rarefags seething that nintendo is moving on and making games without them
R.I.P CHADkey Kong.
Every Nintendo fandom has the potential to be autistic, you just gotta wait for the right triggering event.
Disney Kong
When a series lies abandoned for decades who the fuck else do you think is going to care about it except for diehard fans? They're not in the wrong for being irritated over a design change that signficantly alters the look of the character, if you aren't in the fanbase of course you wouldn't care.
Rarefags got the update and stopped called the Retro games "soulless"
Steve is so powerful and cool, he can totally beat Bruce and Tony in a fight!
Keith's power level is just too high compared to Natalia!
The opposite is far worse.
Make up your fucking mind, white boy
Is it a bold fusion between two designs that pay respects to the original and you'd have to be a secondary fucking chud bastard wah wah wah to not appreciate the changes
Or is it literally nothing come on guys they didn't change anything I don't see no difference come on guys just come on lay off I mean come on it's nothing it's nothing please just ignore it please please please
Having to listen to kirby slopeaters for years drives anyone insane
looks literally nothing like pic related.
Oh ok, yeah I see what you mean if it's a fight situation and you want to keep track of everyone doing shit.
“Better” is subjective.
“Gayer” is objective and true.
That's old. Here's a page from the 80s where he's called Cap. If I bothered I could probably grab something older. Part of Stan Lee's writing style is non-stop nicknames for characters that already have superhero names (Cap, Shellhead, Stretch, etc) and after they were established other writers kept them going.
dude, the monkey emoted, and I imagined him having gay sex
That's a you problem.
Correct it looks fun. Day one buy (Lol, 100 dollars for Daddy Trump!)
I didn’t. He just looks like a fag. It doesn’t mean I’m picturing any sexual act.
He looks like Homer Simpson, if anything
I tuned into the presentation midway through its trailer and thought it was a Kiddy Kong game.
nothing is still wrong with the new design, it's still clearly an italian plumber
Both can be true I suppose.
I’m just saying the design is gay. If people like it I’m not gonna say they’re wrong.
If Rare had made a series of Mario games in the 90's, they would have given him a mullet and a biker jacket and then 30 years later Nintendo would give him his classic overalls and then you'd be like
OMG WHY THE FUCK DID THEY CHANGE MARIOS DESIGN TO THIS LAME HILLBILLY SHIT WTF
That's objectively what some of you guys are doing right now with DK.
Yeah no shit. The point is that it's lame to constantly use the human names and nicknames in all discussions. It just makes them sound like parasocial retards treating action figures like their friends.
I like that. I would like them to fuck with Mario more.
Would they? How could you possibly know?
you think a lot about other men's dicks.
astroturfing schizo rant
0.001 shekels was deposited into your account
non-argument
I accept your concession
As long as it's clear you're talking about Cyclops and not Ant Man, there's nothing wrong with saying Scott instead of DISNEY'S MARVEL'S CYCLOPS, LEADER OF THE X-MEN like you're writing an ad
Damn you. Okay fine. what if he looked like this? And this was his new official design, it's going to be like this for at least 10 years.
Man, Paper Mario is already my favorite Mario,
They were all created as heroes first and the gay secret identity shit was always an afterthought. If I'm a fan of the Hulk it's not because he's a gay pharmacist on the side.
SEGA readopting the Sonic Jam-era Sonic design would be kino ngl
Look at the timeline
Donkey Kong in 1981
DK Jr. in 1982
DK 3 in 1983
A decade of nothing
DK 94 and DKC in 1994
If something like this happened to Mario, where they didn't use him for a decade after Super Mario Bros. 3 and then mullet/jacket Mario returned him to A-list status then I think mullet/jacket Mario would deserve his own place in Nintendo's world
Fine, have him redesigned too.
Bring back Monkey Kong
They were all created as heroes first and the gay secret identity shit was always an afterthought.
Except for the ones that were supporting characters that later became heroes and the ones that didn't bother hiding their identities like the Fantastic Four
the fur looking like trash still ruins this, they had better fur shading on the wii u ffs
he looks hotter
That's sick
I asked and you what your favorite Fantastic 4 character was and you responded with "Reed Nathaniel Richards" I would punch you in the throat.
If he spent 30 years being a biker while his overalls got stuck in one game 40 years ago. Then yes.
Based
If someone responded with Invisible Girl would sperg because she's been Invisible Woman longer than she was Invisible Girl?
There was a 10 year gap before DK got his Rare redesign
No, girl and woman are interchangeable terms for superheroes.
I can sorta almost see your point except I have a hard time believing any of you twats actually like or care about DK enough to be this offended on his behalf specifically. As someone who actually likes DK, I think its fine and captures his actual character well.
Ok but what do I call Hank Pym?
I like him enough but I do think he himself was never really the defining character of his own games between 1994 and 2001, it was more about the creative world around him, he was just the carefree vehicle through which that was navigated and most of that's been thrown out. It just seems so arbitary and unecessary, and undemanded, but every time someone gets bothered by anything you get people going
But I dun tink it so bad!
Well good for you, clearly you'll just take what you can get which I can respect but given Nintendo's treatment of DK as an IP post-rare it just comes off especially petty. This feels like a reboot DK fans never asked for, even if the game itself looks great.
People are always suddenly the biggest fans of things, when it comes time for the internet to throw a tantrum for five minutes.
dude, Donkey Kong was a symbol of masculinity!!
Literally what are they talking about? Rare DK gets kidnapped in two out of the four games he was in. And in 64, they made Chunky the strong one, while DK's skill is he can pull a lever.
The era of DK as a "badass" begins with Jungle Beat, if anything. Rare DK was a doopy Will Smith idiot. Don't make me remind you all of the cartoon.
Incredible Shrinking Man
I'm gonna wait until the game comes out before I judge. I'm sure there are Kremlins and other Rare characters in there. We just haven't seen them yet.
Yeah, I'm not super against the game or anything I am interested, just wish nintendo would drop this desire to return DK to the arcade era already, like it's been 50ish years and literally EVERYONE knows him the way he's been movie or no, please point me to who is asking for this.
Forgot to add, yeah I mean given it's the odessey team I'm sure there will be ackowledgements at least, which is more than the retro games can say.
they need to tell roger to fuck off already and give us the kino that was ryan drummond back first
confession denied.
they removed the kong scowl of determination
it's over donkeybros
ryan drummond
Never going to happen because union BS.
Best to recast with someone new
where's the expand dong edits
From the Rare DK designer:
xcancel.com
Japan hates the things America likes. 90s DK was designed to appeal to an American market because we like cool pissed off shit and it worked. Japan only likes happy cute things for any non human character so of course they took away his furrowed brow, too angulee makeu wifeu scareduru. This is Japanese DK.
It's gonna turn out to be a prequel and you're all gonna look stupid.
Years of starvation in regards to their nostalgia being pandered to. What they really want is probably just K Rool and the Kremlings back and hey those guys are great but it feels like some people just outright refuse to accept this new design for DK out of spite moreso than it being somehow unrecognizable. I think when Bananza actually comes out people will have the new design grow on them but for now they want Miyamoto's head because they think he's trying to erase the Rare era of DK personally.
Japan hates the things America likes
That's not true. Crash is the only exception because Crash is ugly as fuck most of the time.
dedicated nose mechanics
can detach your nose and send it to do tasks like your head from Medi-Evil
nose combos
Have you gone back and played red faction recently?
I know I'm like six hours late but it sounds like a skill issue. I literally play tropical freeze and returns on repeat because my son loves donkey kong so I'm constantly playing them while he watches. I'm dead serious too because I've probably beat tropical freeze and returns four times each in just the last month alone. It's one of the best controlling platformers I've ever played. I'm so fucking sick of playing them too. They're great games but it's all I play
my son loves donkey kong
Aw, cute. I wish my Dad was cool like that. Fucking bald asshole.
WTF is Robin Williams doing in that chris-chan outfit?
Wow, he looks so much better now
memberberries
you could accuse them of doing this with either design at this point you dishonest retard, going with the version they made themselves especially with rare long gone is a logical choice
Gee, I wonder what soulless scumbags are responsible for this goyslop.
ah hell yeah, it's grinkong
that is not an improvement, it's an alternative. if you think otherwise, prove it bitch.
the rare version was also miyamoto's decision faggot.
I like DKs new design
Wrong. Daisy changed as well but she looks better and I'm happy with it. DK is genuinely horrendous.
It literally is not
Shut up Shitgeru.
soulless
contrarian take. He reeks of soul now.
What's the latest on this guy, is he really becoming a father
It doesn't look very good. I'm sad that the only good platformer Nintendo released for an entire generation is a fucking Kirby game. How could they let this happen?
You objectively lying. This nigga had his own cartoon and brand cereal literally a decade before Rare had anything to with the character. The original Donkey Kong game saved Nintendo from financial crisis and was their first major international success. Everyone knew Donkey Kong. He was as mainstream as it got.
Yeah. This looks more like a Wario game.
IT HAS TO HAVE LITERALLY THESE SPECIFIC THINGS FROM A COUPLE GAMES MADE IN THE NINETIES OR ELSE IT'S NOT A DONKEY KONG GAME
Funny enough the new design looks way more aggressive when he gets angry if you look at the shots in
Miyamoto Kong looks better when he's angry. Rare Kong looks better when he's happy.
I can agree with this.
funnily enough chris complain was valid, sonic does look better without furr, it was a counscious design choice to add some color balance with limited sprites. And boom's design was absolute trash anyway, mania's however is peak and wished he became the main face of the franchise.
Good thing my boy DK is finally back from the depths of hell and doing just that
I cannot agree with this.
If the kremlings were in the game they would have been shown in the trailer. I remember people holding out hope that K. Rool would be in Dong Freeze only for it to be the walrus instead.
He reeks now
You can say that again!
in about a quarter of these i wouldnt have thought it was a new design, just a bit of stylization.
Anon. They're in the game and fragments of them were hinted at in the trailer. I don't know what else to tell you.
Miyamoto's design fucking sucks shit
Those are likely nothing more than small references.
I feel like the bigger issue here is that he's wearing pants now
implying anything made in 2025 can have soul
Sorry zoomer, the age of soul is long over and you missed it. Enjoy globohomo forever
That's good enough for me.
You can take his pants off.
Well it’s not for me. They need a proper return.
If you want to be delusional, fine
Well it’s not for me. They need a proper return.
okay well we only saw one trailer. we have no idea what else they have to show. For example, we seen a gang of bosses in the trailer but we haven't seen the main villain. There might be an entire level towards the end of the game that feature Kremlins. We literally have very little information about the game.
I see no difference
loose and slippery controls were such a poor design choice.
That's because he's a hulking gorilla and the slipperiness is simulated weight transfer. I liked it, it gives DK an identity as the "heavy" guy to sonic's "fast guy" and Mario's "regular guy"
well yeah, obviously it's suppose to be a mix.
Mario mandate strikes again. Fuck shiggy
kek it does feel like a Wario Game
I don't get how someone could come to this conclusion, but for the sake of an argument, that's not inherently a bad thing.
I like how as soon as Donkey Kong is free of the Rare design he becomes infinitely more expressive. They couldn't even hide how much they despised it.
Anon, stop. You don't need to sell it to me. I already told you I'm buying the game.
Wario world...2!
"M-MUH EXPRESSION"
I don't get this argument. Did we all suddenly forget Dong Freeze and Smash Ultimate exist? The devs wouldn't shut up about him being so expressive in those titles.
Did you miss all those Paul Rudish shorts?
Feel free to post a collage that can mog pic related
he does look good, but i do dislike how the new design makes him look more like a playful and immature child instead of a tough guardian of his jungle
he was always that way
i mean granted, but i do think the leader of the kong clan should look more... responsible, i guess?
I'm not autistic enough for that, but someone probably is and will make one in the next few days.
Uh huh.
It was a fun game but it was a shit banjo game
That's like being upset with SEGA for making a game with classic Sonic.
I do get upset when they do that though, because they forget that classic sonic is supposed to be cute AND badass, not just cute. New DK looks to have retained his cool factor unlike classic sonic though so i really dont understand the complaints
OP is just cherry picking. Just look at the fucking cover of the game itself.
DK94 is the best game with Donkey Kong in it and one of the best games with Mario in it.
you fags will get used to it trust me
just like how everyone got used to modern sonic
he look like a faggot
No. I just find it silly that there are people who find it deeply offensive that they expanded the range of DK's visual expression of emotion. When he still just like you'd expect of DK when relevant.
It's a Metroid game, disguised as a Donkey Kong game.
Underground world with diverse biomes.
Destructible terrain and digging tunnels.
Presumably, some backtracking between zones when DK gets new abilities.
It's what Metroid Prime 4 *should* have been.
I mean depends on what you mean, It looks like a Donkey Kong Game, And DK himself looks like he would fit in with like the DK64 playables and Rareware OC MONKEES, BUT he looks like a new character, no a redesign of Donkey Kong, and im saying that as someone who was around before the Country games and is aware of his old design and all that shit, DEEP CRANKY LORE, "DK.JR grew up to be our DK" and that stuff.
Just noticed the tuft of hair on top of his head, is shaded differently than the rest of his fur.
Anyway, I can't wait for Dunkey to chime in, and watch how all of Anon Babble's opinions shift to match Dunkey's.
Is it actually paid shills outrage baiting for outrage marketing that keep making constant threads with the dumb trailer thumbnail?

All I've ever wanted out of DK is something similar to picrel. Why do they double down on soulless shit.
I've never played a Donkey Kong game and I think this game looks cool. It's for me. Get fucked manchild
It looks like a Hyrule Warriors game, but DK punches rocks instead of mobs.
NOOOO you're not allowed to talk about one of the 2 biggest console makers/game devs in the world has just announced yesterday, on the video games board of all places! Don't you know Anon Babble turned in to Anon Babble 15 years ago newfag??
Talk about it all you want. But you're cherry picking the moment he looks out of place and pretending like it's the new normal. Now why is that?
He looks good in the renders but the actual game version just looks off, something about the proportions of his head compared to his body and how he looks more round overall makes him look more like a giant sock puppet monkey and not the hardass gorilla he should be
DK is now a series about digging through terrain like fucking Minecraft instead of tight, challenging platfoeming.
There's going to be little to no platforming at all, just a mindless adventure game mindlessly destroying terrain looking for baubles or whatever the fuck. Who does this appeal to exactly? Zoomers? I swear first ToTK and now this. Minecraft has ruined this industry completely.
I'm personally not, I hate the new design I think it's emoji-fied.
Suddenly
They always were, they just tend to keep to themselves in the shadow of the greater Mario Autism, Basically "Fat Girl BFF" effect but for Autistic fanbases. (That is, the idea that "average" looking girls get Fat Female friends because when they stand next to eachother she looks better by comparison.)
I hate the new design
And by "new design", you mean the cherry picks OP has tricked you into thinking is the new design.
which is ironic considering this version of DK pulls of the craziest moves and is way more destructive and brutish than the others
He looks like adult Kiddy Kong.
It looks so fucking soulless.
You could have replaced "DK" in this game with anything, Link, a Pokemon, Kirby, a random new anthro animal character and it would have played the same.
none of these mother fuckers play like a giant juggernaut breaking through shit and climbing heights
i think this DK design is perfectly fine, the issue isnt the fact that he CAN emote, but more the fact that his CHARACTER is different, he doesnt feel like a monkey anymore, the subtlety and wildness of his character is lost to a stereotypical 90s male anime protag.
DK looks perfectly fine for the most part, the box art, his default expression, all pretty nice, and i think his wackier expressions do work, but the way hes portrayed as a character makes him feel like he has a lot more "awareness" than he should, DK's going through all these places hes never been to before and hes not even fazed in the slightest, i wouldve loved to see his curious monkey reaction to being in googly eye crystal world, but he looks way too confident.
agreed
I came here expecting you guys to be posting the hot new monkey babe with glasses and I saw none of that
Disappointed
If you consider Nintendo stopped making F-Zero games because Mario Kart exists, it is over for Wario.
go to Anon Babble goontard
The gold digger lady?
a tough guardian of his jungle
DK never was that to begin with, he only cared about his banana's. Any saving he did was purely because his banana's coincidentally aligned with it. This is meant to be the same dude who steals women because his dong told him to.
He looks stupid though.
He looks like (you)
Rare's is fucking BETTER
Nintendo made Donkey Kong less edgy and more cute. Which is lame, because every Nintendo character ever is already super cute. Lame.
What's that butt plug thing she's holding?
