Now that the dust has settled; it was forced soul?

I wouldn't even say this is a true return to form anymore to be honest this is still redesign of the original design. I still hate it and prefer rare's design between all designs.

They can't be expressive my ass. Fuck these dumbass takes on why rare design had to be canned.

They can't be expressive my ass

You're forgetting Diddy and Dixie were the ones doing goofy shit like that
Find DK doing that outside of Smash

Decide before even looking that something must not be "X"

see thing

it is "X"

Since you already made up your mind, it is forced "X"

Rare DK

cool with occasional goofy

Nu DK

goofy with occasional cool

It's not about wether the designs are goofy or not, it's about the balance of it.

Doesn't that prove my point that DK CAN be expressive without a redesign though?

why does nu DK have feathers?

It's actually retarded that this had to be made since the trannies couldn't comprehend what soul meant

It would've been fine if they didn't force his emotions

New dk looks like a faggot. Og kongs don't

NEW THING BAD OLD THING GOOD

I'm glad this is already flopping

Call it like it is

so basically Rare DK is the "angry boxart version" Donkey Kong made because americans feel insecure when they see someone happy and not angry.

Authentic soul

FUCKING LOST

it's just shit

What an incredibly pissed off gorilla

This image represents how people that like the redesign react to women and cocks, from left to right respectively.

Sort of. It's leaning too heavily into the "Haha, Donkey Kong is le goofy and a big meme amirite? Haha! Ooooooh Banana!!!!" with the expressions and cutscenes

rare is 3d modeled after an actual gorilla, not "angry"
new one is just shit art

here i am fucking explaining faces to an autist on Anon Babble

Diddy and Dixie genuinely smiling

DK furrowing his brow, a pained smile because his home is gone

He really is stuck being angry variants

people pretending that this is absolutely not Miyamoto pulling the strings to just to use the old design

No, you're explaining to a site engagement bot because you're easily manipulated.

rare is 3d modeled after an actual gorilla

They did a really shit job
This one doesn't look like it has a giant noodle glued to its face

This feels like a forced meme.

posts dixy instead of DK

also
Model breaking is done on rare occasions to emphasize things retard.
NU-DK breaks model every frame. it's fucking obnoxious. they don't even understand how to use it.

I disagree but whatever enjoy the modern SpongeBob animation version of DK that's more joke than cool with over the top expressions.

There it is again.
See these? They have a neutral position. DK always looks like pic related.

Bananza is the Odyssey team, New Kong is going to go serious mode once the VoidCo CEO steals his small child friend.

nu DK is 70% snout. It doesn't look like it's part of his face but a protrusion. That's the problem with it.

enjoy a fun new 3D Donkey Kong game by the Odyssey/Jungle Beat team

Okay, I will.

Doesn't mean he won't be anything but a joke for 80% of the game cause "muh expressions".

Why don't they just make another odyssey rather than DK 64 2? DK is better as a side stroller anyway.

I'm glad this is already flopping

How can something "flop", if it's not even released yet?

Jungle beat wasn't good.

Also Diddy's fucking dead.

DK is better as a side stroller

You're only saying this because the one time they made a 3D game he got a walk-to-the-minigame collectathon where the devs just wanted to one up the Banjo team

I legitimately don't get why everyone is pretending the Rare design couldn't be expressive and never was as a unified excuse for why it needed to be changed. From the original DKC games to Ultimate's trailers it was very clear the old design could be expressive while maintaining a design that was rather unique.

So I'm not wrong then?

So Donkey Kong is the newest "botting is allowed" topic on Anon Babble?
Because these niggers aren't human.

DK furrowing his brow

are you furrowing your brow rigth now just because you can't invert it and curve it upward toward the top of your fucking head?

me when hb's shorts are too tight

looks like diarrhea

I really hope Pauline goes back to dating Mario, just so Peach and Bowser can get together finally.

Jungle beat wasn't good.

Yeah, it was great.

Also Diddy's fucking dead.

I want to play as DK in a DK game first and foremost.

DK is better as a side stroller anyway

only 1, 2, and tropical freeze are good
and I already know you're typing out "tf was shit" so then that leaves two games

Who cares just give us what we the gamers want

There isn't any soul, only tryhard kiddie appeal.

Nice Gorilla Ass :)

Pauline goes back to dating Mario

bowser thinks peach is available

bowser is forced to bear the full brunt of her blue ball curse (mario was absorbing the worst of it the whole time)

Diddy's fucking dead

Good!

Will they bring him back?

Look at those wacky faces! This is going to be a big hit with the under ten crowd!

tendies: Y-yeah, probably, but…

People talk about 64 more than jungle beat. Heck people talk about DKC3 or donkey konga more than jungle beat.

Maybe he'll show up, he doesn't have to be playable but don't hide him like you're ashamed of anything Rare made for the series.

Jungle beat wasn't good.

Yeah, it was great.

it would have been amazing if they included a proper control method. but the GC controls don't utilize the controller properly and are just as bad as the Bongos.

this is why they should have used ai
ai has so much soul

Nah I love Tropical Freeze.

Why is Returns considered ass though?

People talk about 64 more than jungle beat. Heck people talk about DKC3 or donkey konga more than jungle beat.

People talk more about DKC2 than Returns. What's your point?

don't hide him like you're ashamed of anything Rare made for the series

They wouldn't have shown off a clip blaring a remix of Rambi's theme if they were.

You're really scraping for things to "argue" with.

I'd fuck both DKs

I guess he deserves it after his smash 4 reign of terror

implying Diddy won't be a boss fight explaining all the Diddy bots

AI at least can make DK look vaguely like DK.
Nintendo apparently can't. they make him look like

AI at least can make DK look vaguely like DK.

posts the worst fucking example

Go back to your generated ciclejerk thread

yet even the worst example is more recognizable then the ugly tranny face.

Jungle beat just doesn't come up in discussions of DK's best entries is all I'm saying.

The redesign just sucks man, it wasn't necessary. It's that absurd Japanese mindset of hating anything not made by their own people when it comes to IPs. This doesn't feel like it's made by people that love the series but wish the series were something else entirely. Them hiding the character makes it feel like they took him out back and shot him though. (He'll probably show up with a god awful redesign too.)

Where the fuck did all these crybaby autists come from? Sonic tier levels of screeching over a non-issue.

is all I'm saying.

C'mon. You've been taking pot shots the entire time.

This doesn't feel like it's made by people that love the series but wish the series were something else entirely

Because you don't like it? Were you doing the same thing when DKC came out? Or when Tropical Freeze changed his face?

He'll probably show up with a god awful redesign too

They didn't touch Cranky. You'll live.

you you you you

lol u mad

After Anon Babble went down it feels like some people came back shitposting even harder to make up for lost time

complains about autism

posts a picture of old DK people actually like

I mean it's a video game design, of course I'll I've none of this matters

Don't worry, arbitrarily killing Anon Babble will fix everything.

just ignore bad things! buy whatever Nintendo shits out!

these shills are bad at blending in

second-person pronouns trigger him

not seething over DK's face means you support $80 games

Don't have such a nigger brain

every opinion I don't like is shitposting

old DK

That's not old DK, though.

Extremely Forced Soul

This one isn't priced at 80 at least which tells you they have less faith in the IP than Mario kart.

Anons saying Wokey Kong and insisting the series now promotes feminism aren't shitposting

gross. I can see why they didn't go with that sludge.

Cranky met a beautiful bird and then one thing led to another...

People pulled this same shit with King Dedede getting redesigned saying it was the N64 version. But they're nothing alike.

This DK old design is good unlike the nu DK design that is a redesign of the origin design.

Who here is ready for brand new Mario lore?

If only

I really liked the prequel theory but I don't think it's gonna happen.

This would be cool but Mario doesn't give shit about adherence to having a consistent lore. It's very loose which makes me personally not invested.

I really wish that happens

So what even is this?

actual loli Pauline

would make this a prequel or time travel shit

the rock turns into Pauline

but why loli Pauline

This would be cool

that happens

said about the vague subject of 'Mario lore'

GPT-Anon Babble is real, holy shit.

It has to be Mario and Pauline's daughter.
If Miyamoto signed off on "Girlboss" Peach, then he could totally sign off on this.

Will Bowser Jr. become Peach's son?

game's not even out

NOW THAT THE DUST HAS SETTLED...

dear god this board is full of underaged fucking retards

kys cuck

All Kongs are Dongs.

Music is clearly important in some way, and music is basically Pauline's main character trait. The preexisting DK connection just makes it an even more obvious pick. Plus it's the Odyssey team so there's absolutely going to be another musical segment like with Jump Up Superstar.

rock shown to really like DK

DK clearly uncomfortable around it

transforms into someone he likes

but he's a rocklet so he has to be a loli

I fucking wish I was a bot or using bot responses. Maybe I wouldn't have to read dog shit comments like this. Nintendo's lack of giving a shit about world building is straight up trash though. They fucking gave up on Zelda, how much longer until they do for Metroid?

I should have used an AI to generate my response to you because you're calling me a bot anyway, genuinely not worth the effort to type out a response to your dumbass, you're only getting one because I'm bored as shit on this specific thread full of shills for the redesign. Fuck off.

How will Twitter react to Mario and Pauline appearing in Donkey Kong Bananza?

I should have used an AI to generate my response

said the ai-generated response

They just can't help themselves.

Pauline was leaked so the initial impact has been permanently tainted.
Mario being a superboss would make me do the

Ugh. What is WITH these crybabies. The change is barely noticeable.

the sonicnigger reveals himself

LOL

someone mentions Sonic

Sonic fan appears

Yeah. So?

you lost and got raped like the subhuman sonygro you are

Movie Sonic is so detached from game Sonic that they should've kept this hideous thing. The first movie was basically The Smurfs movie so the entire thing should have been shit.

You're a dumb faggot who doesn't know what's he's talking about. The only reason the kongs weren't more expressive in the SNES era is due to the hardware. If Rare were still making DK games I assure you they would be as expressive as what we got.

space the eyes out a little more

make his mouth less weird

smooth out the fur

I have solved the problem.

say what you will about the redesign (personally i like it), to assume that nintendo would just use another developers' design for their iconic character indefinitely was just not going to happen. they had to break from that at some point and now seems as good a time as any.

...the what?

Oh no... I think that one guy got him, you know that guy that cuts off Anons while they're speaking, I forgot his name, but there was a screencap full of Anons getting cut off w

your bait would work a lot better if you didnt pretend to be so retarded that youd think donkey kong bananza is a mario odyssey reskin... the mario kart/kirby air riders one is almost believable but ye, try to do better next time

It's Donkey Kong and Pauline's daughter, actually.

I'm fine with the design for the most part, but I REALLY don't like how his fur looks in-game. It looks like really shitty feathers. If they couldn't make it look like the art or Tropical Freeze, just make him kind of soft/smooth like Mario Kart World. It's super jarring when you see him next to Cranky Kong who doesn't have the weird feather fur.

Obviously Mario is Odd Rock's biological father.

They made him do the Mario.

what the hell is going on he

Well I think I will do the Mario when Mario and Pauline appear in Donkey Kong Bananza.

Donkey Kong if he was in an animated sitcom

Ohhhh Banana!

He could’ve been brought back as Prince Florian but Nintendo sucks

Predict the sales of Bananza you or anyone

Donkey Kong Discourse was something I wasn’t expecting in 2025 but here we are

I don’t mind

How long until Anon Babble gets hacked again?

trying too hard

explain what this means without sounding like a retard

Here’s the twist:
Pauline was on the Ingot Isle place when the Void shit happened. It turned her into that

This video really foreshadowed the future, goddamn man…

time travel shit

Imagine…

Plot twist: This is regular sized Pauline.
It’s just that DK is so fucking massive that she looks teeny

You make a thing trying to evoke a certain reaction that if done right is evoked effortlessly.

Anon Babble didn’t stay dead long enough and it coming back so soon made everyone actually retarded

I’m also curious about what will be the New Donk City of the game

presenting his bare bug butt to the camera

L-Lewd

The void tape around it makes it pretty obvious it's a cursed/transformed state.

I just remembered that one Mario fan game/comic concept where Peach is heavily pregnant and also has space cancer.

That and saying “Where am I?”

Will it be better than Mario Kart World?

I'm glad we have voice acting in a mainline Mario/DK game again.

the site engagement bot could be any one of us
it could be you
it could be me
it could even be

Peach becomes a girlboss

but Mario gets to bang Pauline and have a daughter

Anon Babble would be unusable for the rest of the year.

I want to see it happen.
Please Miyamoto make this happen.
