aww, look how hecking wholesome the new DK is with his whistling ability, you'll forget about the Rare design now, right?
Aww, look how hecking wholesome the new DK is with his whistling ability, you'll forget about the Rare design now...
mental illness
looks like donkey kong
could never picture rare dk doing this, redesign is justified
wait, there are people super-attached to the rare design?
people that AREN'T barafurs?
please get a life
New DK looks like he's sucked 10 cocks in the last hour alone
there's a community of 30 something gigaspergs who never moved on from the 90s and who are for some reason convinced nintendo is obligated to treat rare's past work like some sort of holy relic
not OP though he's just some cocksucker from the third world
wait, there are people super-attached to the only design DK has had for over 30 years?
new design is better
people that AREN'T barafurs?
the only design DK has had for over 30 years
Sounds like you've already had plenty of time with that design and you can handle a bit of a change for once.
Soul
the what?
Anon Babble contrarians can only argue in bad faith
case in point
I'm hyped about the game
gameplay looks fun, donkey's movements seem to have tons of potential and I'm sure the next trailer will reveal an entirely new aspect of the game they kept hidden like with odyssey and cappy's capture mechanic
DKC 1-3 was my childhood and I replay them to this day, but DK64 was garbage since it was just B&K but even more collecting. I'm glad Nintendo has finally been brave enough to move on from an era that ended over 25 years ago.
Im excited as well, I only hope for good level variety, both in aesthetics and design. I know the theme is mining, but Im still missing a Jungle area
"argue in bad faith" over a matter of complete opinion
The only thing I don't like about the new design is his wide round cheeks. Default expression is great, but all the other ones are too roind
Rare design is serious, sometimes goofy.
New design is goofy, sometimes serious.
Big difference.
Same here, it looks absolutely fantastic, but unfortunately it's the only Switch 2 game I care about so far. Hopefully it's fully fleshed out and not some throwaway launch title that can be completed in a weekend.
well yeah it's not like the other games they've shown were very interesting
wonder if some retards will buy the wheelchair game
Leave it to Nintendo to destroy a character.
Why is he doing that with his mouth?
He found a cool rock.
Anon Babble comes back after a week
Rarefag immediately goes back to spamming this same fucking thread seething about the new design all hours of the day
Get a life, man
I am very much not liking how every ritualposter went straight back to what they were doing as if they hadn't just had a two-week break.
Why does this unnerve me so much? It's scarier than those animated AI videos
those lips
why does he look so fucking gay?
It was even funnier in the Anon Babble generals. Complete schizos who somehow learned nothing from their 10+ day hiatus and just immediately spam their same dogshit schizo ramble as soon as they were allowed to again.
Raresnoys are still seething
The juggernaut success of the Nintendo Switch is the biggest, prolonged, nonstop assfucking anti-Nintendo retards has ever endured.
I'm so glad I was here to witness it unfold in realtime.
muh Rare design notalgia
To me DK is first and foremost DK94, I appreciate the new design
While I grew up with rare DK I like how they try to put arcade DK features into the new design the best of both worlds
*cums on your face*
I'm sure the next trailer will reveal an entirely new aspect of the game they kept hidden like with odyssey and cappy's capture mechanic
Pauline being healed from her rock form and doing something, maybe she's just playable (that's what I personally want), or she might change up the gameplay in other ways, but I definitely see Pauline as the big reveal (even though we already saw her lol)
Feathers
I won't be buying unless they fix this
Too cutesy.
Bara coded.
The new design is better. Just look at .
The old design could never be this expressive.
The pauline thing is weird because the way the rock is presented in the game so far makes it seem like it's meant to be a midgame or lategame twist but her being in the cover art render makes it seem like it's going to be revealed before the release.
we want the sharty audience
it's stupid that everyone tries to judge the new DK design through static images when it's clear that the redesign was clearly optimized to look better in motion
I can’t be the only tendie who gave a fuck about or even liked DK can I? B-tier bullshit
"i-it looks better in motion!"
it never does
Every single time.
Rarefags now being revisionists, pretending Rare themselves didn't mostly depict DK as fucking goofy
got into fights with Diddy
kidnapped for two games
64 straight up makes him a fucking moron, talking in third person, screaming when barrels shoot him out, and even hurting himself doing moves
the game had a fucking blooper reel
the only design DK has had for over 30 years?
That's bullshit and you know it.
And not to mention the original character designer of DKC Donkey Kong likes the new design
Show me a single animation of Rare DK that looks as good as nuDK
He didn't look incapable of being serious then. Stop conflating characterization with meme faces.
He didn't look incapable of being serious then
He literally couldn't emote until DK64. Every single promo and sprite is just him with his mouth at varying degrees of open.
He literally couldn't emote until DK64.
missing the point this fucking hard
This redesign gives me similar vibes to the Shrek redesign. They took an iconic male character that isn't particularly known for being masculine and de-masulinize it for no fucking reason.
posts the cartoon which did exactly what Bananza is doing: redesigning his face so he can emote
but Bananza doing it is bad because
Perusing the FFXIV generals during the hiatus did inadvertently end up confirming that they're bot-spammed to almighty fuck. As in "their bot-spammer was stressing the bunker website being used simply because he got baited once"
and de-masulinize it
That's not even a word. You're just spouting nonsense buzzwords because you don't like change.
Because TV Kong has expand dong energy. youtube.com
the cartoon is actually 200% turbo-gay and if you call nudk gay while posting this shit i'm going to laugh at you
They still need to explain what the chest beating is for.
DK has always been meme faces
Being monke.
a face trying to be a meme as hard as possible is the same thing as a face that people just happened to latch onto
Nope!
Don't care, it's memeworthy as fuck.
This reminds me of the gimmick from Retro Studios's cancelled Project Harmony, wonder if Nintendo is reusing the idea here
n-no, see, there's a difference!
Just because you grew up with it doesn't make it different.
Old does not mean good. New does not mean good, either.
Go back to posting 'jaks, tendie. It's what you grew up with, after all.
calling someone a tendie when you're screeching about Donkey Kong's face being changed like it's some huge deal
Tendies, known for criticizing Nintendo at ALL turns, and NEVER doing mental gymnastics to defend their honor.
we need a term for people that rabidly attack nintendo and think anybody against them is an equally rabid nintendo fanboy
De-masculinize means the same thing as feminize, but puts more connotative emphasis on the removal of masculinity as opposed to the addition of femininity. It's not a formal word, but it conveys a more specific intention.
I think those are just called haters, anon.
People really making this big a deal over an eyebrow
I think the tongue is weird, personally.
If someone is going to call me a tendie for being CRITICAL of Nintendo, I'm afraid the shoe fits, and a completely failed attempt at a "no u" has occurred.
Eidnet.
He looks like John Linneman from digital foundry
why did they make him sexy? this is grooming
He'll have the new design in the next Smash Bros and there will be seething.
It's a game for toddlers what is genuinely wrong with you?
I think he's the cure we need for racism.
If they smooth his fur out I won't care actually.
He'll have the new design in the next Smash Bros
I unironically can't wait because this also means they'll overhaul his nothing of a moveset
There's nothing "Donkey Kong" about DK in Smash
Same
I kind of hate the new design
I wish he'd more commonly strike the classic design. It was 90s cool. Nintendo changed it to make it softer and more appealing to Japanese preferences. SAD
What happened to the rule that open mouth means no teeth?
This shit looks creepy with the mouth open
Zesty Kong
nintendo is obligated to treat rare's past work like some sort of holy relic
It literally is.
Pretty much all of the N64 fighters could use a second-pass on their movesets I feel, especially Samus whose situation is so dire that Mii Gunner is more representative of her than she herself is
This shit looks creepy with the mouth open
Creepier than them trying to not show DK's teeth before and having them magically grow in for specific animations like in Mario Kart?
the original talent that was at rare aren't even at rare anymore. the stamper bros and their team that they led knew what they were doing when they asked nintendo for for a DK game. they haven't been at rare in 15+ years
nintendo also had to reckon with an iconic design that was tied up in the brand recognition of a company that was now held by a competitor
nintendo fucked up royally by not buying rare, but at the same time, the "dedesign" they did for DK is good. it's more expressive and doesn't have a meaningful association with rare anymore.
anyone bitching about it needs to realize it was a business decision and was bound to eventually happen.
holy cringe
1993 DKC concept sketch
PINGAS
>nintendo also had to reckon with an iconic design that was tied up in the brand recognition of a company that was now held by a competitor
But Cranky is identical. This isn't some Nintendo VS Rare shit, it's just a style choice for this era.
Anon...
mario: no
luigi: already been tweaked
yoshi: no
fox: no
ness: no
falcon: no
pikachu: no
kirby: no
link: no
jigglypuff: fine, let her evolve, whatever
two out of ten is not "pretty much all of them", and dk is still doing punches and slaps in bananaza, so i dunno what reality you're living in
link: no
link can't decide what he wants to be anymore after BOTW-izing and they made young link huge to compensate as "old style link"
Mario
never utilizes his hammer, completely made up moves
all Luigi got was a grab change
Ness literally only has one move he actually uses
Kirby, despite being Sakurai's baby, is missing basic shit from Sakurai's own games like his slide
Link is some amalgamation of Links that somehow represents BotW by just having a bomb changed, OoT/MM with a clone, and WW, the most different, with another clone
I remember where in super mario world luigi pulled a misfire against morton's clown car
mario: big whoop
luigi: sufficiently different playstyle, many moves distinct
ness: wtf do you want him to do, jackass?
kirby: mfw kirby plays like kirby but doesn't use one (1) move he does in his own games
link: disgaree
luigi did get some differentiation by accident, that being he kept luigi cyclone while mario lost mario tornado (turned into a down aerial)
NUH UH
You could've just said that from the start.
I don't have to type out an essay to say "I don't care that Mario left his mallet at home".
I don't have to type an essay to say "I simply disagree on Link needing an overhaul, and have nothing further to add on this matter."
I don't have to type an essay to say "Ness being almost entirely support in a game like Smash would suck."
Ness being almost entirely support in a game like Smash would suck
There are literally other characters in Smash using his moves as actual attacks.
ness
How would you visualize Rockin?
Such moves as...
Bat, that he already has.
Yo-Yo, which he already has.
Self-healing, which he already has, if modified.
I don't have to type out an essay to say "I don't care that Mario left his mallet at home".
this is on par with all of the autism surrounding ganondorf and that stupid fucking spaceworld sword imo
which is to say i think if ganondorf can get that while paying complete lip-service to the idea by just nicking a couple of ike's attacks (what did anybody think was gonna happen?) then they can pay some lip service to the RPGs giving mario a hammer
ganondorf and that stupid fucking spaceworld sword
I miss the trident so bad.
You're the type of person who would defend Wario being a Mario clone
I'm eternally grateful that Sakurai doesn't pay much mind to retards online. So let me break this down just for you.
Link, Zelda and even Ganondorf have and always have been composites. Meaning, officially their listed debut is Zelda 1/OoT (Ganondorf) but they take on the model/voice and some characteristics from the design they're currently using (usually the latest release but not a hard and fast rule). Characters like Young Link and Toon Link are specific Links. Being OoT/MM Young Link and WW's Link.
DK is another such composite character, again being listed as debuting in the 1981 arcade game but looking like DKC DK.
Mario's hammer
Yes that iconic move from one arcade game that's an item and what? M&L?
Iconic coin block jump adapted to up-b
SMW cape with a slightly altered function from the cape attack, better fits the genre
FLUDD
Fireball
Where's the made up move? Maybe up-b? But that's a really creative way to get an iconic Mario thing in there.
retvrn to hyrule warriors where it's extremely fast, extremely strong, and has lots of sweeping boomerang moves
and what? M&L?
Every single Mario RPG
Link, Zelda and even Ganondorf have and always have been composites. Meaning,
meaning effectively nothing given ganondorf's identity is an inversion of captain falcon, zelda was designed around her ocarina incarnation and still is but with a spirit tracks addition because they got really autistic about sheik being a separate character, and more of link's moveset was altered to accommodate BOTW than any previous incarnation while, again, making young link huge to accommodate link's older gameplay style
Yes that iconic move from one arcade game that's an item and what? M&L?
SMRPG
Paper Mario
Mario vs DK
Wrecking Crew
the Tennis games
I'd still like to see Classic Pig Ganon someday. Or at least have him be a regular character in Hyrule Warriors
I have, I love it even more than his dual sword layout.
So DK is a bird now?
this simple edit's been living in my head rent free for days
The cape being some weird towel twirl and not the actual cape spin has always bugged me.
i dunno what reality you're living in
they reality where they and near enough any newcomer from the past two entries (at least) feel like they belong in different games I would imagine
kek
trident's a better all-rounder but dual greatswords just completely fucking smashes keeps and captains/commanders alike, love both weapons
Now read the part just before the part you greentexted just a little bit slower.
MIddle looks lame.
Left looks awesome, maybe not the first deformed '93.
Right has that Crayon Shin-chan disney japanese looking ass standard simian for children of 2-5 years old flanderized mickey mouse safeplay tickle'me bottom, you know the one, the mickey mouse that raises his hands with a smile with a disturbing ass "Haaaaa~" or a "Heeee~" or even a "Waaaahh~" SFX plagiarism from cocomelonass for people who have not matured or even biologically attempted to develop some testostorone within their system. Miyamoto is delusional, fuck off and retire already.
I did, this is a bit of a non sequitur
You seem upset over the cartoon monkey aimed at children.
he also can't recognize the popeye aesthetic when he sees it
her
I get the feeling RPG rep is very low on their radar. His moveset is very mainstream for a reason. But fair point, I overlooked the other RPGs.
Wishing away the facts I presented won't make them less true.
I get that but it's kind of a gameplay/visibility concession and lets him naturally put it away too.
Another point is that Smash is not 1:1 partially for gameplay and partially because that would be boring as fuck. It's easier to think of it as "Sakurai presents X" than "faithfully recreated modern day X"
My point is that complaining that Smash Donkey Kong isn't a faithful adaptation of the character is silly when those punches, slaps, and claps you think are inaccurate... Are actually accurate.
Right has that Crayon Shin-chan disney japanese looking ass
Right is based on this. It's funny that you bring up children when left is the kind of 90s fart booger 2cool4school stuff made to sell toys.
god i wish popeye hadn't been grossly mishandled over the past 60 years
we yearn for everyman characters
reason they went away is the same reason rich people get pissed at lex luthor's character background being he's a neurotic supremacist and can't stand the idea of superman's costume being pajamas and a cape
MOMMY MOMMY THEY GAVE THE FUNNY CARTOON GORILLA A SILLY FACE
Why do you say "hecking"?
I'm starting to think it's not the eyebrows specifically, but the generally softer features. He's fluffier, his shoulders are less broad, he looks like a bitch.
Im playing all the classic DK games and reading the wiki and other related stuff in anticipation for this game, and Im going to make and eat a banana split while playing it high af
You look like a bitch
gay as fuck
Why are you describing yourself on a DK thread ?
This looks terrible, however
in 20 years when they redesign
Donkey Kong again, the bananza design will be the soulful one
Guess donkey Kong gets it's own Zelda cycle
STILL not over wind waker
move on
abloobloo i raised a fit when they went to twilight princess' style
then get over THAT instead
