>>1595850 The weird part is that they say she's the original Princess Zelda, which doesn't work perfectly with the lore. Later official materials (but not the games themselves) say she was just an earlier Zelda but not the first. Later Zeldas were named after her, but there were also previous Zeldas, and apparently that was just fate. Zelda isn't even a princess in Skyward Sword, since Hyrule doesn't exist yet. But to be fair, this is pretty much the biggest contradiction in the series' lore. Unless you say that Zelda II Zelda IS Skyward Sword Zelda.

>>1595368 The ancient civilization from Skyward Sword was super futuristic and advanced. Probably the most of anything in the whole franchise.

Why did this turn into a Zelda thread all of a sudden? Donkey Kong? Bananaza? Anyone play it? What are your thoughts on the game?

>>1601693 It's okay. Just feels like another 5/10 Nintendo game, IMO. People overhype it, but I guess there's nothing wrong with it. Real problems lie in the lack of challenge, the bananas feeling too much like koroks and Odyssey moons, Pauline is a constant annoyance, and the "destroy the terrain" gimmick feels a little shallow. Like they just slapped it onto the game without really incorporating it. Same issue that TOTK had with the vehicles feeling like they were slapped on, thus completely ruining the idea of traversal.

>>1601817 Haven't played it yet but that's in line with my impressions of it going by the gameplay I've seen. It looks very gimmicky. Also very ugly. Guess there's no point trying to make a location that looks good if you expect players to tear giant holes in the terrain first chance they get.

>>1603765 It's actually really good. 9e3d3e is just being a faggot

>>1604551 If you like it, more power to you. but I hate games that ask you to "make your own fun", and I despise Pauline as a character down to her concept. Sidekicks are just maximum cringe, especially if they love to talk.

>>1604551 Could you at least explain what you like about it?

>>1604575 It's a Donkey Kong 3D Platformer done right. There's a good balance of movement and punching shit, on top of being able to actively shape the terrain of each level, additionally it's not super easy either. Basically it feels like a mix of Odyssey and Hulks Ultimate Destruction with a bit of Memecraft thrown in.

>>1604661 Sounds good to hear that you enjoy it, even if I ultimately disagree.

>>1604661 You're not really selling me on it if "not super easy" is one of your points of praise. Sounds like a 7/10 game; something good, maybe great in a few areas, that falls short of the complete package.

>>1601527 Mark Mann, this is fundamentally NOT a spoiler. It was revealed publicly to millions in a Nintendo Direct. You might as well say that Pauline being in the game is a spoiler.

I got all bananas. It took me 45 hours. It was fun, but not very challenging outside a few end and post game challenges.

>>1605322 Would you describe it as monkey business?

>>1605489 No, it's ape business!

>>1604715 Yeah, to each their own. I personally had a ton of fun with it. >>1604833 It's absolutely a must buy for a Switch 2 since the only real games for the platform right now are DK and Mario Kart World which they gimped due to people having too much fun in the online with randos.

>>1606319 > It's absolutely a must buy for a Switch 2 That’s a weird way of saying “It’s absolutely a must pirate for a Switch 2 emulator”.

>>1618421 There's a Switch 2 emulator already? I can't find anything about it. What's it called?

>>1618626 Its called "Diddy and Dixie appear in Rambie's Racing in Donkey Kong Bananza, which is not a spoiler because Nintendo put it in the ads".

>>1585440 Can we do double vaginal while we French kiss?

Why is he called Donkey Kong if he's a monkey?

>>1907686 HE

>>1907967 HAS

>>1908153 노동 >>1907726 "Donkey" in the sense of foolish or unreasonable or jackass. "Kong" because of King Kong or if you believe Nintendo's lawyers Sun Wukong.

>>1907686 wonder if tiny will be included, & if so, what form

>>2018609 The trio of trash judges. One sets up a court, one swallows whole without reading, one makes false log loosely based on what crocodile told him.

Wow! Some people suddenly pretend to hate Donkey Kong's look and personality he's been having since Donkey Kong Country just to defend his new, modern, inferior redesign. Also Shigeru Miyamoto's excuse that they changed his look to make him more expressive sounds bullshit since his DKC was already quite expressive. While I often respect Miyamoto, sometimes he makes bullshit claims. Like when he claimed that he couldn't use his idea of Mario riding an animal at NES because of console's limitation while Hudson's Adventure Island games at NES managed to do that without an issue. I bet they've changed him because his DKC look and persona is "too masculine and outdated for the current year" since current Nintendo tries pleasing investors. Nintendo would be more honest if they admitted that they changed him to make him more marketable for merchandise like other Nintendo's popular franchises that focus a lot at merchandise. And yeah, I hate Donkey Kong's change both at his look and personality. Maybe I could tolerate and get used to his look's change. But drastically changing his personality too to the worse? I can't accept that.

Also I've recently discovered that the HD port of the first Donkey Kong Country Returns is trash, especially since it was rushed made by a small shitty company that makes nothing but shitty low budget games. Probably because said company was the cheapest for Nintendo. Meanwhile the Switch port of Tropical Freeze was made by Retro Studio themselves, which is why it's a great, faithful port.

They could at least make him like at the gag manga where he's slightly cutesy designed and goofy while still keeping his cool attitude from the DKC games.
