One of the worst redesigns in the history of gaming

Stop modeling your ideas of masculinity on goofy cartoon monkeys.

Jungle Beat was kino

You're right, but the latter half is bait.
Left designs feel normal and fun, right designs look offputting and weird. I don't know what it is about japanese designers and just plain not being able to draw literally any design made by a westerner well ever. The new diddy design is bulbous and ugly, and the new DK design just makes him look kinda generic, and in some of the renders he looks like he wants to eat my skin. It's just a mixture of all these weird small things. Like

Hold on, diddy is supposed to have teeth, where are his teeth, we gotta have the teeth like all the time the fucking teeth where are they?

Miyamoto san, please, calm down

Also make sure the nostrils are big that's important too all of them need to have that it's really important, and make their faces fat too, and make diddy's eyes separate that's not anatomically correct

Like why? People crying about "MUH BLU ARMS" but then you're going to ignore the character designers themselves needing to make all these tiny changes for them to feel "right".

Better

Eh. But the DKCR games are decent.

Nintendo must have lost all their competent artists during the Switch era.

That's a design based on Bomberman and isn't meant to be him. Doesn't really count.

DKC2
64 is worth playing to see for yourself how polarizing it is.

This, Miyamoto already admitted that he was involved with the character design.
This is Miyamoto's attempt to try to "reclaim" DK.

polarizing

Its objectively trash

donkey kong country 2

I hate Advent Children so much.

I don't like it, but I could learn to tolerate it if he didn't also make shitty brainrot clickbait faces.

It's the same design except sometimes he isn't scowling.

I feel like I'm going insane, what tf do you mean masculine? DK? Really? You guys really Identified DK as masculine?

kids game

average player is in his late thirties

???
GTA is a kids game. Call of duty is a kids game. League of legends is a kids game.
All games played primarily by kids with children as the audience.

Donkey Kong is a GenX/Millenial franchise.

final plottwist of the game is spoiled before it even launches

Grim.

ill check these out thx

I mean he's a muscly dude, so yeah. I don't see how the new one is less masculine.

He literally is way more expressive now and doesn't look like a complete retard. I genuinely don't understand why this shit is even being argued. They only thing going for the Rare design is Nostalgia

final plottwist of the game

source for this claim?

they made DK a faggot

Who knew dk fans were able bunch if Chris Chan tier autist

Most mascot fans are.
Have you seen Monkey Ball and Crash threads? Holy fuck.

doesn't look like a complete retard

?????
They made him look WAY more retarded.

way more expressive now

He was plenty expressive before. He's overanimated now.

and doesn't look like a complete retard

He's a fucking ape whose motivation is a pile of bananas.

Blame the Hot Topic kids from the 00's for that, you were probably one of them, looking back in shame at the phase

Look at this DK. Look how relaxed he looks. You see he's obviously strong too. He exudes a plethora of emotions. The new DK tries to be expressive with his brow and it comes off as forced as if he HAS to emote for the sake of it.

it wouldn't be in the marketing material if it were a spoiler. Cranky originally wasn't featured in Tropical Freeze's box art either, not until his gameplay trailer dropped.

I like it.

This render says otherwise

Muscles on a gorilla can hardly constitute as manly. Lets not fool ourselves. If DK was actually a human I could agree.
He's just more goofy.
And I say more because DK is and always has been goofy.
One render man. In the games he's always been silly.

It's not from public marketing material. It's a leaked image.

if diddy didn't have the eye strip and kept his old eye shape it would be perfect. DK is just terrible.

Children have been convinced showing any emotions at all means you aren't a real man.

I thought we were finally past this shit. Fucking hate social media for making normalfags even more retarded.

We really did lose the plot of what masculinity is if we're looking to a cartoon gorilla for examples. I have never seen anyone say that donkey kong is who they aspire to be. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I hate the new Donkey Kong design too, but it's not as if we'll ever get a decent DK game again. It's just sad that I'll have to endure this disgusting design in every Smash Bros. and Mario Kart game from now on

what, do you think nintendo just makes random renders for their own private amusement? What I'm saying is that they're going to update the public art later on, presumably after the game's next trailer drops

Yeah, why would someone inspire to be strong and cool and in-shape? What a fucking psycho.

I think if the eye strip was even brown like his fur it'd be fine (maybe)

He exudes a plethora of emotions

Read my post again.

Children have been convinced showing any emotions at all means you aren't a real man

Why are you so concerned about an ape in a children's video game?

Which is it?

What the fuck are you talking about? Male characters are almost always cool and masculine. Even if they're complete dorks, they're still strong and capable

The difference is that male characters get way more variety in design and personality than female ones do

it would be a huge improvement

Yeah.....I hate this redesign

The miyamoto cocksucking force is here

Nobody is aspiring to be an animal.

And?

This is actually true but latinx zoomers of Anon Babble can’t grasp that they are the kiddy game market

Imagine being so insecure lmao, no way you guys cry at every stupid shit you see on a game

The giant fictional cartoon video game monkey is not masculine anymore. They've taken everything from us. It's a part of the war on manliness. My 3 year old son, he said "Dad, Donkey Kong, he's just not masculine anymore. I want to become a tranny now" and i said "Son, I wish there was something I could tell you to change your mind but you're right". That's what they've done to us.

yeah this is like chris-chan tier

This, everybody who doesn't like the new design is an incel chud.

Why do edgelords like you obsess over "angry eyes"? These characters aren't meant to be edgy, they're meant to be cartoony and goofy. Edginess doesn't mean something is good. You have the same mindset as the western localizer faggots.

DK is supposed to be stubborn and mischievous like a donkey. his design reflected that.

Nah DK has always low tier had incredibly autistic fans. They're just usually smart enough not to draw attention to themselves.
t. the most autistic guy in my high school was obsessed with DK.

And the miyamoto cocksucking force is here

New design is better. He looks closer to the old arcade design.

To call this retarded post a strawman would be an understatement.

Stubborn and mischievous

Doesn't mean you need an edgy face for that. In fact stubborn and mischievous most of the time call for a more goofy face, not a malicious one.

LITERALLY NO ONE
NOT A SINGLE SOUL
ON THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH
had an issue with the Rare DK design pre-Bananza. Not one.
The only reason they're suddenly popping up is because it's Nintendo fanboys doing damage control. Nintendo changed it = Nintendo good = change good = old thing must have been bad.

NOOOOOO YOU CANT BE MAD AT AN ICONOC CHARACTER BEING REDESIGNED

YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT AND BUY IY ANYWAY, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE STANDARDS

New DK show his stubborness just pinching His way through a level

I'm still salty about Princess Peach's boxart change.

his face was never edgy. he just looks retarded now, it's a different character entirely they went too far.

can't refute how he has the same mindset as the localizer

I don't care about Ching Chong nintendo creator or whatever. I'm just calling you out on being edgy doesn't mean something is good. Donkey Kong was never supposed to be edgy. He was always meant to be cartoony and goofy. Everyone here knows that, you do too. You just want something to complain about like a SJW. You are what you hate.

Nobody said that.
Why do you keep making people up to get mad at?

Rare snoys are still seething

The Switch 2 isn't even out yet and it's already mindbreaking you retards. Here's to another fun 8 years.

I mean the image speaks for itself and the billions of posts about his angry eyes aren't a strawman at all, it's in the archives. You're not slick. And you can't refute it. Stop acting like the faggoty localizers. These characters are not meant to be edgy.

All the miyamoto dicksucking force is saying it

snoys literally can't go one thread without seething about Miyamoto

Asperger's "subtlety" on full display ITT

Donkey Kong was never supposed to be edgy

Donkey kong was created in donkey kong country, no one cares about the arcade shit that came before it. Mario was different too and you are not asking for a redesign

This go hard, OP is a seething snoy

Rare snoys

NTA but I think they should change everyone's design just for shits and giggles

We went 20 years with rare design and you retards never said it was bad and now that they have changed it youbsre like

actually it was always wrong thanks daddy miyamoto

/thread

it is very suspicious. i never, ever saw anyone say we needed a dk or diddy redesign. not even internet wide.

Me too especially Tifa

Getting rid of Diddy's mono-eye was such a weird move and now DK pretty much has a mono-eye. Make it make sense, Nintendo.

They just worship whatever nintendo does, they could shit in their mouths and they would just eat it up

False, all of you. Picrel is what we lost.

Same. Would've bought the game if it weren't for the movie peach unironically

I'm sick of suddenly snoys worshipping what they deem "old Nintendo" to no end. The Switch 1/2 will always be their Golden Age and no matter how much you revise their past failures like the GameCube or seethe at Miyamoto will change that

Asking why a fucking children character is not manly enough is peak burger thread lmao

Advent children Tifa is cute as fuck dude wtf

That's odd, I've seen far more posts like yours than posts specifically saying he isn't manly/masculine enough.

This is the same as redditors on gamingcirclejerk worshipping everything the devs do, Anon Babbleeddit is real

Seethe harder, snoy.

Its in the OP blind man

One of the worst redesigns in the history of gaming.

It's not even in the top ten.

Doggy Kong

It's incredible how easily people are lied to, the sassy Peach boxart update was applied in Japan as well but this deliberately frames it like a region difference. Stop being so fucking stupid

Even his fur like oks gay now. Holy shit

Toon link is based and closer to OG link on the nes

DKC2

How?

Muh Miyamoto

The dude is half retired and has been for the last decade.

It's too perfect, like he spend time taking care and modeling it

Raresnoy opinions don't matter. The new DK is an objective upgrade.

Snoys suddenly love the old DK design all of sudden

Curious.

jesus christ shut the fuck up you enormous fucking faggot lmao

yeah because the only people that give a shit about nintendo games anymore are literal toddlers or the two flavors of boomer:
30 year old manchild autist
30 year old pedophile creep

Kirby looking real badass there.

okay seriously how much of this thread is one guy

It's just one Gamecubesnoy seething at literally everything Nintendo does since 2007.

Smash Bros is the only time outside of the original FF7 where i have liked Cloud and Sephiroth

Is Diddy actually going to do something in Bananza? Making a whole new render just for a few marketing pics feels like a waste?

lol enjoy your soulless trash for the rest of your life

The new diddy design is bulbous and ugly

What? I feel that way about the new DK design since his head looks better and they puffed up his cheeks. But Diddy looks fine. That grin is perfectly natural on him. It only looks weird to you because they've never done that before. I agree DK looks off, but the Diddy one is a case of old good new bad.

his head looks better

Wow I could not have made a worse typo there. His head looks "bigger."

It's a banner that was accidentally uploaded to a website too early. They're going to reveal it sometime before the game is released.

they probably did it for whatever upcoming DKC game I assume they have planned to release around the same time the movie does

I think Americans will be okay with the new look as long as DK is still framed in an edgy manner like

Probably lol, love that stupid shit of angry character for American audience

thinks OG Link looks anything the Soi Drinker

Making a whole new render just for a few marketing pics feels like a waste?

Nintendo does this every couple console generations. You'll be seeing that particular Diddy render for years to come, even if Diddy barely shows up in any new games.

Meanwhile in another timeline:

I love how Diddy’s Cap is blocking out the D in the HD subtitle

Male characters are not allowed to be cool and masculine anymore

Ironic considering gamers are always the least masculine "men"

New DK looks like a pussy, plain and simple. Actual gorillas look badass doing pretty much anything; DK was no different.

B-but he's more expressive now!

What does video game DK ever need to express aside from anger?

I dont like his new personality from what we have seen of bananza, but seeing the updated photo with all the mario characters, he DOES fit in better now with the others.

it's like those images of mario possessing enemies in mario odyssey
they didn't show that until after the E3 trailer but it wasn't some big secret

this actually looks great, i wish the remaster had new donkey kong

Joy
Sorrow
Fear
Regret
Deep thought
Shock

He doesn't need tho-

He did each of these in DKC Trilogy

Well, the old design-

Was on CRTs as a couple pixels. Same shit doesn't fly anymore.

tendie so mindbroke he defaults to calling everyone a snoy

Reminds me how out of place DK and Diddy look in their own games under Retro. They're the Rare design sure, but then everything else is bootleg Dreamworks garbage.

Dobson ass eyebrows

Dobson is just a Jim Davis ripoff, who is himself a Chuck Jones ripoff.

I really like how emotive he is how, but the real deal is that he can still look absolutely pissed.

Actual chris chan behavior. Take a break

I'm just glad that people still care enough about Donkey Kong to go on autistic rants like this.
Then again I don't think we're getting a new Donkey Kong Country in the tier of the OGs for a while.

Rarefags who identify themselves as DK are mentally ill.

They have been mentally unwell since Donkey Kong Country 3 when they a tantrum because DK was replaced by Kiddy Kong

love this dude who keeps replying to his own post

Same shit doesn't fly anymore

Imagine thinking that this has been said in a Nintendo boardroom post-Iwata

True, until they redesign DK again. Then only the new one will be good and the Bananza one is bad (also only enjoyed by snoys).

Diddy didn't change at all

Retard.
ign.com/articles/the-big-shigeru-miyamoto-interview-i-see-nintendo-as-like-a-talent-agency-and-we-have-within-our-roster-a-lot-of-talented-characters

IGN: You created Donkey Kong on pieces of paper, he's your baby. Donkey Kong 94, you were a producer on that. It was one of the first times he became more expressive. He's back with a new game, he's got a new design. What's it like seeing that character's new design now and seeing this character grow up with you?

Miyamoto: So when it comes to character creation and working with characters, I still take an active role in that. And looking back to the first generation Donkey Kong Country, we worked with Rare to create Donkey Kong Country.

When we were talking about trying to create new versions, evolving Donkey Kong, we created the game called Jungle Beat. We worked together with the team that made 3D Mario. With the technology that was available at the time, we were able to make Donkey Kong more expressive. And going back to the design that Rare came up with, we reevaluated; what can we do with the design to make it more expressive? And then when it comes to the movie, we decided to move forward with this new generation Donkey Kong design.

Miyamoto was DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE NEW DESIGN.

WE MUST BE BETTER MONKEYS

They made him fatter.

No, he looks the same

They need to show Young Pauline already

And this is the old one, the only thing they did was give him teeth

Anon... I don't know why you're advertising your blindness.
He was clearly changed less than Donkey Kong but that doesn't mean there were zero changes. There's a difference between 90% and 100%.

tfw the bull won't let you watch

KH1 Cloud >>>>> KH2 Cloud

looked after fucking donkey kong for a paragon of masculinity

Jesus, i know people lurking here are pathetic but this is a new low. Did your father even raise you properly?

And I don't know why you advertise your obsession, nothing was changed besides the teeth

Again, anon... there is a difference between being 90% the same and 100% the same. Diddy is 90% the same, obviously much less radical than the DK change, but to claim that there's no changes (besides the teeth, which is itself a big change) is obviously lying.
The teeth, bigger belly, fur, and eye gap are all obvious. I don't know why you'd even think to lie about this. You are trying to eliminate all nuance which is a sign of autism.

we playin' spot the differences again?

diddy kong is a lot less different but, like we've said a million times already, fix the line between the eyes. teeth are a little odd as well, it gives him this weird puppet mouth look

Keep being obsessed all your life
Bye

looking forward to your next reply

Bananza is made by the same team that made Jungle Beat, a game that was choke-full of references and tributes to Rare's DK games

This thread could use some Monke Gals

they should have just put fur inbetween diddy's eyes like this instead of a weird slip of flesh

loud retard finally leaves

ahhh... finally...

You would complain anyways

New Original Renders >>>> Going back and changing old renders

I can’t be the only one right?

why did they give them teeth

and you would complain about people complaining anyways

endure this disgusting design in every Smash Bros. and Mario Kart game from now on

Just hope this gives them an excuse to update his moveset and get rid of those stupid generic gorilla noises and use his actual voice and grunts, that voice you hear when he punches through the wall in the Bananza reveal.

welcome to the hotel california anon

Nu-DK looks like the Wholesome Berndjak

Diddy>Donkey

Go suck a dick you autistic sperg. The new design is better.

stoic soldier on the left

emo dude on the right

Oh that's why they gave him the gay design, to match the gay voice he's had for years now.

Love all the seething westoids mad that the3y got out preformed by a Asian Japanese company once again.

Rare DK is from the UK.

he RAN

Male characters are not allowed to be cool or masculine anymore.

I dislike the redesign too, but this is one of the most unhinged reasons for it i've heard.

when Candy says she has plans with Funky Kong

Whataboutism

They literally did this eighteen years ago with Tiny.

The design isn't bad but I hate the art direction they're going for in Bananza since it reminds me Crash 4, and some of the faces they're having him do look like shit. He looks fine in the renders and in Mario Kart. Diddy looks the same but they separated his eyes for no reason. They should have left the eyes alone

It has to be in the next direct.
Before Odyssey launched, we knew who everyone was, what their alternate forms were, and the entire plot.

real?

Feather Fur

Why does everything need to be classified with this “Snoy” word?

Still the worst redesign in the history of gaming.

anon that's a monkey, not a black person

It's one person forcing it

raresnoy

ootsnoy

meleesnoy

cubesnoy

palsnoy

it's because those are the games we grew up with, zoomers just play fornite or whatever the fuck

it's weird how the only people who care about this are snoys, you can see it because their only defense against people who like the new design is calling you a tendie or miyamoto cock sucker

Real men are not afraid to show their emotions

His brow look more like McDonald’s Logo

I hope every character gets their more recent design and new movesets

Same reason everything has been a pepe or wojak variation for the last 10 years. Brainless retards can't do anything new or interesting, nor can they keep a mental catalog of different things to say, so they just repeat shit over and over.

You're the kind of retard that thinks Cappy was also a HUGE PLOT TWIST in Mario Odyssey right? Because this is literally the same case. I guarantee the next trailer will reveal the little girl.

The only person that seethes at being called terms like OoTsnoy or Cubesnoy is you, ACfag. Probably because you're the very definition of them.

Whoever preordered the Switch 2 are the dumb dumbs

Like all buzzwords, they eventually lose all meaning and become “anything I don’t like”.

Odyssey being 8 years old is crazy actually.

You can tell it's snoys because they throw a shit fit when being outed as snoys.
They then pull the "oh, so everything is snoy now?" card despite snoy only being associated with select groups that seethe at Nintendo. Cubies and Rarefags being among them.

And then all we get is some DK shovelware, nintendo really is finished

This time for sure, sister

Yeah well clearly shit has changed in the past 21 years.

He is so expressive!

Ohhh Banana Teen Tiny is so gorgeous

Kill yourself you subhuman tranny

In Smash 6 everyone will get a Counter

complaining about complaining about complaining

You wanna know something even crazier, DK Jungle Climber was the last time the Kremlings were the main antagonists, it’s a 2007 game so that would be 18 years ago, UNLESS you count spinoff games like Barrel Blast and Mario Super Sluggers which also featured the Kremlings.

”Thing I hate” with the word fag slapped on

Also an unoriginal cancerous remark

I really hope Sakurai stays doing Kirby and they let someone else do smash

I’m still shocked K. Rool got a damn Counter

Sakurai is such a lazy faggot

Personally, I'm mad that they gave Sora a counter because that's literally not how guard has ever worked in KH.

This is another underrated topic when discussing new content for Smash, the Soundtrack and what series does and doesn’t get new Remixes.

Pre DLC is before Sephiroth and Pythra came and brought new remixes for Final Fantasy 7 and Xenoblade 2

All of the Country games are good. Jungle Beat is genuinely pretty fun with the bongos, as well, but you run the risk of bruising the shit out of your hands.
