"B-b-but the rare design is better!"

"B-b-but the rare design is better!"

Admit it. He needed an update.

New DK looks like someone wearing a costume.

Chad monkey with a prominent brow and ice cream hair dip

HR-mandated cuddly buddy that probably sniffs the women's toilet seats

New DK looks like Donkey Kong "should" if he were still heavily associated with Mario instead of being his own thing

I actually like the new design after I've warmed up to it. He is a lot more emotive and soulful.

However the constant environmental destruction slop and open world easter egg hunt collectathon bullshit looks like it would get old really fast.

For real.

Monkee crave for the mines.

Killing off the left is like killing off 80% of what made old nintendo good.

i hate glowups like this. you don't realize how ugly rare dk is until you compare him to the shin-dk

Every Nintendo game is open world collect-a-slop now.

autistic retard vs ur goofy dad

LOOK I MADE YOU STUTTER YOU'RE WRONG

also Rare design is better you FAGGOT

the new design is closer to his original japanese design

gaming is dead-dead with this redesign. it's for ESLs born when obama was in office.

be sure to remind everyone in every thread.

The new design is fine. The problem most of his expressions lack DK's personality. He's just another happy guy like Mario now.

I just don't like the ugly glossy fur

both are hideous.

we needed wokey Kong

fuck off.

Just another example of seething Japs not being able to stand Rare doing a better job than them.

I will continue to replay Donkey Kong Country 2 to the end of time

how the FUCK does this have ANYTHING to do with ESLs?!

literally anything happens

ESL ESL ESL ESL DO NOT REDEEEEEEEM

ESL derangement syndrome

the one on the right makes me think of that calarts smile wojak

this is the first time i ever said this its just a fact

Why does it upset you?

hurr durr I can't go one post without talking about American politics

It needs banned on this board. It's neutering discussion here and resulting in low quality posts (yours) and low quality posters (you) wasting posts and bandwidth on your dumb bullshit.

He's been "yassified" as the kids say.
I like a monkey with some edge.

Nah, classic Rare mogs anything from Japan and they're still pissed to this day.

I just want to understand the rationale behind being obsessed with them (and typing angrily is fun)
the ESL obsession reminds me way too much of grammar nazis from back in the day.

Looks like Pixar vs Dreamworks monkeys

Brainrotted

Rare Donkey Kong has always been horrific but it's also really funny seeing people larp that he looked good.

Say it without Miyamoto's cock in your mouth next time

that fur is so disgusting

All I can see is the shitty redesign from the movie made to have him resemble a character seth rogen could play and that bothers me more than anything

He needed an update.

Why?

Dong... deflation...

How much bigger does the space between his brows and eyes need to be

Literally all of this is solved if you reveal the new Donkey Kong is Kiddy Kong grown up.

Left is Donkey Kong
Right is Kiddy Kong

There's a bit more expressiveness to the way he currently draws his own design. Didn't need to be such a radical change in the movie and Banananza imo.

the dark void around his eyes is terrible.

He doesn't look cool anymore to me anymore. Rare DK has a cool vibe to him. This new look is trying too hard imo. It doesn't look like a DK game either.

I just really don't like the defined lip edge on the new take of the OG look.

I can't quite put my finger on why but the new design reminds me too much of Steven fucking Universe.

Why do people keep saying this
