Soulless VS Soul
I never cared about DK until his new Switch 2 look.
the new one emotes a little too much, honestly
he even has bisexual lighting
his teeth are excessive
I like them both.

Bananza is SOUL because it has loli
Its kinda funny seeing schizos try to push this as some controversy, when the redesign is so mild that it can't even catch on here.
Why the purple lightning?
Forced soul vs Soul
If Yoshi gets his own game again I wonder how he’ll look, there’s also the Mario Movie sequel giving him a possible slight redesign
lolification has ruined a whole generation of women..
He looks the exact same in the Mario movie.
is this better?
They already redesigned him a bit in Wonder.
I like his design in Mario Kart World but Bananza is too extra.
Notice how Rare DK looks like an Olympic or Greek athlete in the Jungle Beat render.
I like the new look and I appreciate the wider range of emotion that his new design allows for, but it's not a good sign how Nintendo is immediately going overboard with his new expressions. It's cringe as fuck when he starts over-emoting like a fucking Looney Toons character
Blind
No, they definitely did. They unfucked his proportions a bit.
Media hate stoic male characters. They have to be a cornball, and that is best case scenario.
this redesign is made for seth rogan to play him in a movie
this looks worse than both of them
play him in a movie
and soon games
forced soul
Nah. It was a definite improvement over his prior design, which was too squashed and humanoid.
That's just him standing at a weird angle because Wonder has some funky ass shit like ALBW does going on, but not to such an egregious degree. You can see Yoshi in Wonder from other angles at times and he looks proportionally fine.
Tail is inapropriately lifted up
DK design is because le movie
But no one else got a redesign in Wonder or MKW that makes them closer to their film versions. So why the Kong?
New Donkey Kong looks like a cock sucking diabetic faggot.
Old Donkey Kong looks homophobic
Well yeah, I think he looks better than he has in years.
Mario vs Donkey Kong Switch Remake is still peak Donkey Kong currently.
The worst Donkey Kong in the past decade is still Mario Kart 8's.
Peak Donkey Kong portrayal is still Jungle Beat
Much of the 2D artwork for the redesign is uncanny valley.
The current 3D model of the redesign is pretty bad, tries a bit too hard and the eyes are too close together. Also noodle ridge is just uncanny, at this point I'd rather they just remove it entirely and go back to Donkey Kong 94, the normal eyebrows works better for that design .
The new 3D renders for the redesign are... okay.
Peach's face got wider
people who dislike the new DK design genuinely have some of the worst taste I've seen on Anon Babble in fucking decades
It's Anon Babble what do you expect?
It's literally just a few schizos
autism babble
They really should make it a saddle again. I wonder who at Nintendo made the choice to make it koopa shell? Why it because they were moving away from making yoshi a dinosaur horse?
people who like the new DK design genuinely have some of the worst taste I've seen on Anon Babble in fucking decades
ftfy
DK will likely have various design for various series. Like Wario keeps the WarioLand design for the main series but uses the biker style for WarioWare.
What is autistic about it?
you have autism
Nu-DK is forced nu-soul.
HE HAS
PANTS
How when It seems to be mostly a downgrade?
A decade in the making...
why is that?
The image on the right is better in every way
japanese vs american box art
My interpretation is that this is what Donkey Kong would look like if Rare wasn't bought by Microsoft and they kept making DK games. Like this is the natural conclusion to Rare stuff.
I do not really give a shit about Donkey Kong or Nintendo but I think the issue is the characterization changes from Strong Guy Ape to Goofy Ape.
Its a lot more generic.
Fuck off Miyamoto, Rare made Donkey Kong what it is today, you jealous slant-eyed fuck.
the thing is "Strong Guy Ape" was also "Goofy Ape" too. He could do both easily.
proving my point
We probably would have had some DK Country on GameCube.
well miyamoto finally got the last laugh i guess.
I don't see how. The arms and posture look weaker, his expression is more generic, he was made fatter (I guess I can see that as better if you like bara). I would say the only improvement is the smaller ears.
so everything in the mario games has to look lame and gay? sasuga miyamoto san...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY CHANGED DONKEY KONG'S DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY AUTISM IS KICKING IN, AIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Asking for clarification is proof of autism now too? Are you just spouting buzzwords?
Pre-Country DK was a pretty generic ape. Couldn't be the leader of the bunch.
New DK looks goofier while old DK looks stupider. Bananza looks like its going to be more goofy than stupid
No the final laugh is buying Banjo at the bargain sale and making it one of there first party series.
autism issue
the theories about bananza just being odyssey 2 keep making more sense by the day if this is just how DK is supposed to look in mario centric games now. mario is definitely going to show up in bananza.
He went from a "Strong Guy Ape" with a "Goofy Ape" side, to a "Goofy Ape" with a "Strong Guy Ape" side.
youtube.com
If Wario Ware started in current year you fags would seethe so hard.
Niggers acting like this is DK's new design
wario remains the same
I mean I hated Wario's design from the start, I hated especially how much it was pushed in Smash and my opinion has never really changed on it. In fact I think the redesign has completely failed and a large part in why WarioWare never got as big as it could have. The saving grace with WarioWare is that it did not overtake Wario's identity in Mario spinoff games
warioware was always clearly a spinoff.. so are you admitting bananza is as well? also wario's style and look definitely devolved over time the worse warioware's art style got so you're doing a bit of a self own here. it used to just be a wardrobe change for wario but the nu warioware chibi look is horrendous.
Well i tried, but I guess you have nothing worthwhile to say or discuss.
biker wario is great. zero taste.
People seethe about biker Wario all the time, faggot. Lurk more
rare lost
Nintendo is woke now?? *starts hyperventilating*
autistic post
Well we knew that 20 years ago when they went to Microsoft and got stuck making Kinect slop
AAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEE WARIO HAS A UNIQUE IDENTITY THAT ISN'T YELLOW MARIO WITH GENIE SHOES
SAVE ME MIYAMOTO SAMA
Both designs are good.
Everyone has to agree at least the new nose is way better. The old nostrils was like he was a duck muppet from The Simpsons.
Soul vs Soul
they're both good
fun looking cartoony gorilla with lots of expression
vs
tight lipped realistic gorilla
yeah nah
To me it's lame. The colors don't fit Wario and the design don't fit Wario, a stark contrast to Super Rush's Wario or Hiker Wario which really fit the character. I think it's a complete mismatch.
But I could at least concede that Smooth Moves is probably the best it ever could have get. But then new artstyle in Gold/Get it Together/Move It completely obliterated all hope of that
Wario already had a unique identity from his very first appearance and that only continued in the Wario Land games. A change of clothes into a biker outfit isn't a "unique identity" on top of what he already had, FAGGOT. Again, LURK MORE
That's the biggest cope I've read of this matter.
lurk more
he thinks this is 2010 Anon Babble still. how quaint.
raresisters, I think we should just kill ourselves.
Why are you still posting?
cause it's funny that i triggered a trannycord xissy.
I can see that.
Don't worry. Microsoft is selling off their properties and Nintendo is going to absorb that shit so fast..
it's not actually totally new, Rare DK has had a similar nose for a long while now, the duck nose only rarely occasionally reappeared recently due to Donkey Kong Country Returns HD release where the 3D renders and model brought it back for legacy
Most peopel aren't aware of this but the in-game model for the Switch version of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze also removed it
the only thing i hate of the new design its the homosexual stare/smile, i guess white girls are gonna buy the game
NuDK will be a beloved childhood icon for the kids today and the jaded, adults they will become in the future when DK's design changes again.
Yoshi was redesigned to look more like his older versions, see the nostrils, spikes and format of his face.
Same here. Old model looks retarded.
New one is PVRE SOVL.
I have yet to see a more fabricated "controversy" than this one
This render probably works better for the middle right
Fuck
I insist there was no need to turn him into another Yippie Wahooie Guy.
When characters like DK or Wario appeared in Mario games, I always saw them as special guests. They may have had their beginnings in Mario games, but they evolved into their own characters with their own worlds.
Wario is the best Nintendo character
Pleb.
the brows looks so much weirder than the rare design.
also
feathers
We're talking solely design here dummy, Wario is my favorite character as well
i preffer banana kong, but that minecart is overdesigned and retarded.
DK can't emote
The King Boo design is still the biggest tragedy
new major villain introduced within the Mario universe
Fucking stellar debut
is unique like the King Bob-omb, Goomboss, Petey Piranha and Gooper Blooper
nah fuck THAT
immediately make him into just a generic boo
his design is literally just a boo but bigger
with not just any crown, but a PRINCESS crown
Like what the fuck is their deal? He had the best design out of all the bosses and they threw it away 99% of the time. it's even more baffling since he was created internally at Nintendo, he's not from another company
youtu.be
Well he has a great singing voice
it's funny because this scene in the GBA version had better emotional storytelling than the Switch remake despite the fancy graphics.
DK cries like a little bitch
wow I thought he was supposed to be tough and cool like you guys told me he is. Turns out he's a fucking faggot.
Time Up!
youtu.be
You would too if faced with a very irate Italian cursing at you
I always saw them as special guests. They may have had their beginnings in Mario games, but they evolved into their own characters with their own world
Ngl that's basically what they become over the years. Wario's friends are never added to things like Mario Kart and The DK Krew shows up sometimes outside of DK games but it's usually just Diddy Kong and even he skips out on showing up sometimes.
DK's crying in the original MvDK being removed in the remake is probably the only change I agree the Switch version made, but in doing so it actually still messes up DK's characterization and story in the Remake a bit even if I think the initial crying was a bit out of character also, it still served a good purpose for the overall narrative that becomes lost in the remake that the remake keeping the "tough guy" persona doesn't outdo.
He steals toys for duck's sake he's supposed to be childish here.
Holy ESL
New design is so much better
Rare was fine for what it was back in that time with the pseudo claymation look but he always lacked personality since then, just looked empty and derpy
Now he's a silly gorilla
I know. I still can understand why they would remove him crying outright. Still though, I think the crying served a better purpose than how he acted in the Remake.
it's just a slight run on sentence
"Forced soul" is really just saying "This new design is fine but my autism makes me unable to accept change"
No, it's just a buzzword that's synonymous with saying something is "trying too hard".
Her
Never forget what was taken from you
one is expressive
the other isn't
OP is a baiting retard. DK can STILL at times have an arched brow but now he can also be more expressive. Stop pretending this is an issue when everyone is happy about how he looks.
fuck rare trannys
trying too hard
No it's not because literally no one can explain what that means. There's no criteria or set of rules where one can actually articulate what something like that means in context. "forced soul" is just a meme that has no meaning. It's just something underage retards say when they cannot come up with anything else to say
Nintendo sure loves to ruin series.
left one is OBJECTIVELY better. More personality that fits the character better, more fun facial expressions, and soulful eyes.
You're in the wrong thread.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME
Holy fuck that’s creepy
this is probably the best the character has ever looked desu
I can live with the brow. The problem is his bean face teeth and mouth. DK in general looks worse when he shows his teeth too much. His redesign made his grin even wider.
the old Rare design is a bit outdated. The new one is a return to form that encapsulates how Donkey Kong as a character really is. He's a fun retard.
He's better with teeth than having no teeth at all which is way more strange.
How much do you want miyamoto to fuck off, Anon Babble?
Why would anyone want that. That's retarded.
New DK seems to better match the personalities of Koizumi and Miyamoto (goofy, silly, etc). Makes sense they went in this direction
It also just looks better as well.
I hate those fucking overalls/suspenders.
I want the schizos who think DK getting a much-needed design update has literally anything to do with Miyamoto when we know for a fact that Miyamoto's been working on the theme park more than anything else for years
The renders look way better than the model.
It's a good thing you're not forced to wear them.
lacked personality
This hasn't been true since Jungle beat and especially hasn't been since the Wii era (where the Mario cast all started to get better renders, models and got better at being animated across the board). I'm convinced people who say this do not actually play that many Mario games.
It's an optional costume, anon, he's not even wearing it in the boxart
only NPCs defending nu-mario
worse than defending nu-spongebob
I think the model looks great.
Sorry meant for
I want MDS and mandateschizos to fuck off.
only NPCs defending nu-mario
You're lying and being delusional. Only shitposters have like OP pretend to have an issue with the design.
Both of the ones with his teeth clenched are too fucking goofy. Literal actual forced soul. Middle is the only one where nu-DK looks any good, for the other two classic DK looks much better.
Donkey Kong truly is the bastion of Greek Stoicism. A beacon of rational thought in a foolish world of mushrooms and turtles raping blondes with the girthy studded cocks.
But enough about Star Fox
You need to calm down.
Both of the ones with his teeth clenched are too fucking goofy. Literal actual forced soul.
Opinion discarded. Stop using buzzwords you can't actually define.
So he just became even more one note like the rest of the Mario cast lately.
calm down
says the one crying about something
LMAO cope
encapsulates how Donkey Kong as a character really is
You don't "encapsulate" a character by changing their personality completely. Even Donkey Kong 94 DK didn't act like this.
So he just became even more one note like the rest of the Mario cast lately.
I bet you can't explain this or articulate how he differs to how he was portrayed in other games.
i will buy the switch 2 and the dongey kong bundle just for she
Sonic's makes sense because he just had puberty. DK seems like he had finally tried banana up his prostate and is a little confused.
He acted like that in the original arcade game, Donkey Kong '94, Mario vs Donkey Kong, and Punch-Out.
You don't "encapsulate" a character by changing their personality completely. Even Donkey Kong 94 DK didn't act like this.
You're just making shit up. They didn't change his personality even remotely. He's always been a goofball and a dumbass.
Relax, it's just a game.
le quirky Disney calarts bean mouth
Truly the Disney do video games.
gonna assume you've never been to dkvine. this is mostly a DK/rare thing.
What does any of that have to do with his face looking stupid?
someone photoshop her teeth out so we can have a proper soul/soulless
People also get annoyed at Biker Wario, as per this thread, even though he looks perfectly fine. Cool, even.
Donkey Kong 94 DK is actually different than Arcade DK. You need to replay the game, it's not actually the same portrayal.
And I don't even know why you brought up Mario vs Donkey Kong Dk, despite the kidnapping and antagonism he doesn't have the personality of Arcade DK.
Donkey Kong Country DK has always been more than just a silly goofball and the Mario spinoffs further showcased this.
That's not what calarts is. You can't just make up a new term that's convienant to you. It was used to describe a lot of similar looking cartoons during the 2010's era of animation.
New Jungle Beat when?
Tiny, Dixie or Candy, who has the best porn?
Why is soulless on the right this time?
Donkey Kong Country DK has always been more than just a silly goofball
so is the new DK game where he's literally destroying everything in his path like a badass. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how he's any different
i don't like the new design, but it's a legal requirement so whatever. i'd rather still have dk around.
Only retards wanting to try to gain clout to dunk on Sonicfags on social media believe this. Anyone who has been deep into hardcore Mario fandom has known this is not true, and no it's not just a DK/DKvine thing either. Hardcore Mario fandoms care more than social media inbreds would want you to believe,
It’s growing on me
I remember when pretentious DMC """fans""" tried making that gay argument with anime Dante.
The different is the way it's presented, you underagedb& niglet.
the difference is mainline mariofags are somewhat normal, while secondaries (typically RPG faggots) are autistic and insane.
sonic is nothing but the autistic secondaries these days.
yeah bro left is better than right
No? lol.
Totally.
Not the same.
Jungle Beat is literally just Rare's DK souped up to it's extremes, it's the further away from Arcade DK. Why would you use that game as any sort of defense? Also:
Japanese games
Mario vs Donkey Kong
lol, you don't know do you?
I fucking hate that rimlight on every modern games
Oh no, calarts went back in time and infected nintendo
Thanks for making zero argument.
He's not wrong. Calarts style has been used since the 80's to describe whatever the current generic overused art style is because that's the school most of the artists working on big properties like Disney shows came out of. Go be underaged somewhere else.
Meant to post this but other guy had it covered
Ok Treehouse retard, one banana has been deposited to your bank account. But why does the ugly renders and the frankly revolting in-game model look nothing like each other?
Two bananas have been deposited to your bank account.
Biker Wario was still Wario in the beginning of WarioWare. Ware, Touched and being a biker were never any problems. With Smooth Moves and forward, and the Smash appearances he turned more and more into the hecking poop fart chungus he is today.
No, it's Japanese. Everything good is Japanese. Saying otherwise is w*stoid cope
positive male model / toxic primitive masculinity (probs also apology to racism and classism)
Thing is everyone thought Rare DK would be his permanent design while the Arcade version would remain a Classic but lo and behold from 1994 to 2025 they decided to change it and I think I blame the Mario Movie for this.
So why is DK different, but the other Kongs are still Rare. Even some of the new monkeys that look ass at least still look Rare.
He's not wrong. Calarts style has been used since the 80's to describe whatever the current generic overused art style
Calarts is not a "style" you fucking idiot.
Someone draw nuDK with the same bean face template
What I don't understand, is why they went through with the effort to create an entire theme park based on the classic designs & aesthetic everyone knows, when they're clearly going to retcon all of that out of the picture with the Mario Bros Movie, the Switch 2 game and onward?
From a company that cares so much about Nostalgia-branding, it just seems like a fucking retarded move?
I’d still love for that wholesome draw thread request of Knuckles and Donkey Kong eating Grapes and Bananas together
I think I blame the Mario Movie for this.
except the two doesn't look even remotely similar. Also the DK movie version is literally just them also telling the people making to use their preferred design. This new game would have been in development around the same time as the movie was being made it's not like one was influenced by the other.
I'm starting to understand what forced soul is
...the majority of the staff of Mario vs Donkey Kong was made by Americans.
when they're clearly going to retcon all of that out of the picture with the Mario Bros Movie, the Switch 2 game and onward?
That's not what they're doing though.
Who has the best porn? Well that depends
Which one actually uses their feethands to give a unique stroking session?
new one looks like a s0ib0i
They’re literally trying too hard to be charming and it shows
I'm starting to understand what forced soul is
I already know what it is. A made up buzzword that has no meaning.
Never forget the Peach Showtime Boxart debacle
samefag
Shitskin tranny detected.
Thanks for proving my point, retard. None of these existed in the 80's nor was it ever a term used to described a generic style from specific era. No one referred to 90's hanna-barbera characters as calarts. It's literally just something you retards made up within in the past couple years.
it's not like one was influenced by the other.
You don't know that.
it's largely a byproduct of Mario itself being a more consistent series, so of course you're not going to get many character design controversies since they rarely happen this severely, or if they did they happened decades ago before the brand became more established.
But when they do happen it's also why there's constant discourse over King Boo, Yoshi, Donkey Kong (remember DKvine hated him getting teeth), Princess Peach and Donkey JKong's movie designs, Peach boxart, Toads and Mario RPG design stuff, etc.
To be clear I think this is good, I think people should be passionate about the shit they spend money and CONSUME about, but the narrative that "Mario fans don't care" was always clearly an attempt to just try to get a leg up over Sonic fandoms to try to look superior for social media validation. Cringeworthy to be honest
Left looks determined, confident in his stance, and a proper hero to play as in a platforming game. Right looks like a Fisher Price variant, even the body language makes him look weaker in comparison.
How can something take influence from something else that's being created at the same time. For all you know, people could have easily hated the Mario movie so it wouldn't have made any sense to risk trying to mimic it's style which it clearly based on the end results we did see with the new game
Tranny.
Left looks determined, confident in his stance, and a proper hero to play as in a platforming game
You're not describing the character we know as Donkey Kong. Thanks for confirming that the new one is actually better and represents the character more authentically.
You LOST, faggot.
Sucks being ESL because I understood completely.
doubling down after getting BTFO
embarrassing.
DKchads won
secondary trannies lost
When it comes to old Donkey Kong renders I don't think people give enough credit to this one from Mario Party 8. It's a perfect mix of why I loved Donkey Kong. Still an obvious strong presence, but also lovable and somehow makes him even cute.
Revisions happen mid-way into development, underage. Studios even work closely with other studios.
nu-DK would absolutely demolish Rare DK. Up until now DK wasn't punching holes into the Earth and destroying mountains with his fists.
He went from rolling onto his enemies to becoming a monster who leaves a path of destruction everywhere he goes and no one can argue this.
so you can't provide actual evidence to back up this claim for this context and instead you're just going to die on this hill of a hypothetical scenario that's more than likely to be untrue?
Unlike you English is my first language. Unless you're autistic and the lack of air quotes around "Calarts" raped your understand then you might want to get diagnosed for retardation.
Sensing some projection.
Also I'm partial to the Mario Kart DS renders (which take after Jungle Beat).
so you're admitting it's just a bullshit term zoomers made up to describe something that doesn't even make. Just saying you're being disingenious.
/thread
Rare dk punched the moon out of orbit
When you don't have an argument you can always be quiet instead, son.
dk punched the moon out of orbit
Lmao the same DK who canonically lost a fight to Little Mac, a generic manlet human.
You need to provide an actual argument for someone to be able to refute it first, kiddo.
Gumball never looked like that, and the show was actually good, on par with most of the Cartoon Network shows during its classic era.
and the show was actually good, on par with most of the Cartoon Network shows during its classic era.
Lying retard. Gumball couldn't sniff the shit of shows like Johnny Bravo, PPG, Dexter, or EEnE.
If Gumball was released back then it would have been as fondly remembered as those ones.
based on what merit. It ain't funny and the characters are retarded faggots
Punch Out Donkey Kong deserves love too
I don't know why you're being so aggressive about it, it's kind of sad to see you lashing out over a minor difference of opinion like this.
don't you ever compare trash to greatness and this wouldn't happen.
Gumball wasn't trash though.
Indeed, we all should worship and emulate a fictional cartoon monkey as our male role model, this is a direct attack on the very core essence of what it means to be a man. Our lives are at stake, our existence is in doubt.
Everything made after 1999 is nu-tranny nu-shit with nu-forced soul and nu-faggotry.
I think im going to be sick.
He still looks like a manly macho powerful male while doing so, unlike the demake design.
Jesus Christ if you want proof so badly just look it up.
calarts.edu
1977
The New York art scene sees the first wave of CalArts alumni—Jack Goldstein, David Salle, Ross Bleckner, Eric Fischl, Barbara Bloom, James Welling, Matt Mullican, Troy Brauntuch, Ericka Beckman—emerge in force as part of the nascent “Pictures Generation,” alongside artists such as Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Sherrie Levine and former CalArts Art dean Thomas Lawson.
As more alums begin arriving in New York at the start of the 1980s, a new term is coined: “The CalArts Mafia.”
There you go. People in the art world have been using the name of the school to group together the collective style of its graduates for nearly half a century. Now shut up, lurk moar, and stop replying to this thread.
I'M GETTING ALL THE BLAME FOR THINGS I DIDN'T DO
As a fellow 40 year old I WILL join you in being mad at a minor adjustment to this children's cartoon ape named Donkey. The establishment MUST burn for this crime!! Join me, Facebook boomers! We march for Nintendo!!
Look, the Mario movie destroyed everything good and holy, all things bad are its fault, accept it and move on.
So, were all of the cartoons you people love screaming CALARTARTARTARTARTS at made in California by a single company?
Big deal, Dr. Wily did that almost thirty years ago.
Rare's DK looks like retarded and autistic now that I think about it...
this is pretty much it for me as well, the expressions are too exaggerated
the tongue out thing being the worst (both in cutscene and ingame), it just stinks of bara furry pandering
forced controversy
If we're going to start blaming random retarded shit for all our problems, Donkey Kong has ALWAYS been a bara furry icon.
I was never really a DK fan but I also prefer his old design
it gives of an impression of a big brute who's silly sometimes because he's a monkey
his new is just 'massive goofball' without any real nuance
tight lipped
mouth literally open wide in the bottom right
Nukongfags can't help but lie through their teeth.
While I love the Super Mario Party remake of this render, it's peak DK, but I am disappointed it removed the o mouth in translation.
this was peak dk
I don’t like dk or nintendo and I think the new look is better too.
rare never made a good game
how strong is Dr Wily's right hook, damn
Looks like a young version and older version
