DKC Atlas Forum

Yeah. And I'm still disappointed as hell. HOWEVER. Part of me won't let me dislike this game..and part of me also says there will be a K. Rool cameo or a hint to a sequel. But I'm also disappointed they were so abrupt about that, as if the fans didn't matter in the decision at all. Alot of people sa...

Bonus stages have been seen in several videos already, like this one for example. Hmm..... at 1:07, I spy a wrecked ship. Could that be an allusion to the Gangplank Galleon? Maybe we'll see all kinds of Kremling-esque hints in the game. Even if they aren't in this one, I guarantee, absolutely, that...

Yeah, honestly Tiptup, we don't know anything about the game's story other than: -It has DK and Diddy and the seemingly classic DKC plotline (minus, for the moment, Kremlings) - Tiki things. Who may or may not be being controlled by Voodoo K. Rool. - It will include many familiar characters. - Story...

Well, I definitely need to cut Miyamoto a bit of slack, I always blamed him a bit for the lack of DKC games, probably because I didn't have anyone else to blame.

Yeah, you're probably right, there. Given that the president of Retro worked on the original DKC, and that most of Retro is made up of hardcore DKC fans, I don't think they'd leave K. Rool out or not have him show up at all. And I think Scraps might be right, because that's quite a ...

Well, one thing I thought was odd was that the IGN guy kept on mentioning K. Rool afterwards, so maybe there's still a chance he's there. And he and the Kremlings may still make a cameo of some kind anywho. Either way, I'm still hella excited, and I do sorta agree with you, Simion, that...

I found this interview with IGN and the Retro staff, looks interesting...dunno what to think about a certain line in it, though.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/109/1099190p1.html

Uh.... I'm assuming not...first off, what we've seen looks nothing LIKE Jungle Beat. (There are life balloons, KONG letters, bananas that work the right way, and actual characters from the series..because..well, this is part of the series) Did I mention Diddy? I dunno why you'd "give up" o...

That sounds awesome, Jo! A whole new round of avatars..should be great, I mean, I don't really know what to do now that this day finally came, man. It's like, I don't even know. 14 years without a DKC game, and now we have one..what do we do??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Also, good luck with all ...

Yeah, I thought something similar, but I'm assuming we don't have to worry.

Woot life balloons! And I feel certain of K.Rool's involvement actually, as Reggie said we'd be seeing many familiar characters, and we only saw DK and Diddy in the trailer. (They're the stars, they don't count) I think Retro is being crafty. They wanted to make a nostalgic game, I'm sure they know ...

Damn! I should have done that!

Curses!

I assume Retro is handling DKC from now on and honestly, I couldn't be happier with that. I love Paon, and I know they were doing their best as DK fans, but Retro has the know-how and the tools. And you might be right about the 3DS game, Jo, but now I'm interested in what that might be... Every time...

...Yeah, so, I know I'm posting constantly, but it is just blowing my mind how epic this is. Do you all realize that we have been waiting, hoping, and praying our entire lives for THIS MOMENT? And it's here! Donkey Kong Country has returned to its rightful place at the DK throne. The arcades are be...

Man that's a snazzy homepage. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! I'm SO EXCITED And I'm not worried about K. Rool. I'm sure Retro won't forget him. It'd be like forgetting Ridley in a Metroid game, and they kinda sorta didn't do that either. And they might be JB ...

They wouldn't leave K. Rool out. Especially if they're going for the nostalgic DKC element they seem to be.

At any rate, I saw Diddy and DK, I was excited. Unbelievably excited.

YES!!!! ****ING YES!!!

I tell ya man, I legitly cried a bit..

Reggie, man, I'll never say anything bad about you, ever again.

I was expecting Microsoft's conference to be a little... no... A LOT less sucky than that. It was just physically painful to watch. Was it worse than Sony's conference in 2006? Nintendo's starting in 3 minutes..I'm not sure how high my expectations should be... ^^ This would be more accurate if I w...

Happy Birthday, Banjoster! And...happy..2nd? Birthday, Tiptup!

I'm not really sure what you're trying to convey there, Tiptup; They have religious freedom, but so do you, Jomingo, and myself, and this also gives us the freedom to not follow a religious sect. Separation of Church and State was created to keep religion and politics separate in the United States. ...

I only watched around 15 minutes of the Microsoft showcase, did they discuss why they changed Natal's name, even though Kinect sounds better anyway?

Tiptup Jr. wrote:Yes... I've also heard rumors (pretty sketchy ones) that there are actually several former Rare employees working at Retro. Coincidence? I think NOT!

That'd just make this all the more awesome. Well, tomorrow from 9-12, we'll get our answers.

Hooray!

Yeah, the problem with someone bringing their religious beliefs to their political stand, especially with someone like Palin, is she wouldn't view all religious groups with the same level of fairness. She probably wouldn't give any two cents about people like myself, who prefer not to believe in a d...

Well. Let`s talk about it. In what ways do you think her morals are off? Well, on a personal note, I'm none-too-happy with Polar bear hunting, or hunting of any kind, (But don't call me on that, killing endangered or even semi-endangered creatures because they live near an area where oil-drilling i...

A little bit of both of those, actually. I've now posted up to Part 3, and I had absolutely no clue where to find the bonuses in both Lockjaw's Locker and Lava Lagoon, I suppose because I never really paid them any mind before. I decided I'd probably go back and find everything I didn't have before ...

I'm fairly certain Palin and I have a different idea of what defines "moral character", but that's a discussion for another time.

Really? I hope that's true Tiptup, this is all excellent news if so, man!

I'd love to see a Super-detailed DK Jungle..

Uh oh! Political discussion. Let's...try and keep this civil. Alright, well, I'll start by saying I strongly supported him, and still do. I feel he may have overestimated his ability to change things rapidly, and I feel that the majority of his supporters from 2008 expected far too much of him in a ...

Tiptup makes a good point. Someone's doing something for the franchise we care about that has had no real love for almost 11 years.

I don't think there's any reason to complain, and if we do, it seems...wrong.

I wouldn't be optimistic if the CoD folks were making a Mario game, but that would probably be because I don't like the CoD people and wouldn't trust them with the franchise. However, since DKC doesn't seem to have anywhere to go at the current time, I suppose anywhere is better than nowhere.

Maybe.

Yeah, I'd say it's about 10. DK64 came out in 1999, so that's just about right. If Retro can make a game with the same direction as that, and make it as good or better, I'll be satisfied. At this point, any news of anything DK-Related is satisfying news.

Holy crapsacks!

I...I won't get too excited. I remember the DKC4 rumors of last year, and the disappointment. But if they actually bring back DKC back...I'd..I don't even know.

EEEEEK!

Personally I liked the idea you had a while ago, Jo; a Party-style game designed as a gameshow hosted by Swanky. That could turn out to be pretty cool.

Tiptup..why you gotta go puttin' these images in my head? Why you gotta go doin' that?

Well, I figured I might as well tell you guys about what I started, since the Youtube thread is now non-DKC, I assumed this would be best-posted here. Well, to make a long story slightly less long, a few months ago I began watching Let's Plays on Youtube and finally, in April, decided to try my hand...

Hmm...good question. Honestly, I'd say for one thing, DKC's soundtrack was far superior to other platformers of its time. Even in relation to platformers today, DKC reigns supreme in the OST department, and I don't see alot of people arguing that its soundtrack was not magnificent. Personally, DKC h...

I'd love to see DK at E3 this year, but I think I've said that the past two years as well. (And hey, I haven't been on the forum in a while. Huzzah, I'm back!) I'm expecting Zelda Wii, hoping for Pikmin 3, and just excited about anything else. More or less, it should be good. I'm a bit stunned that ...

Wait, what? The games have been out a month exactly, and there's been no discussion? E-gads, gentlemen and ladies! Well, to celebrate the one-month Anniversary of them, I suppose I'll explain where I am in the game. Right now, I'm sitting in Kanto, waiting to fight Misty because I'm too lazy to go g...

NSMBW is much harder than the DS version, it's not more difficult than NES Mario games, but I don't think it should be compared to those. An example of the difficult segments of NSMBW would be the 9th world. Even the first level was extremely challenging, and I didn't find the firts 8 worlds to be t...

Beneath the Canopy Forest The Apes of Wrath Rumba Rumble Definitely my favorites.. And I wasn't a a HUGE fan of the DKC2 boss theme before this; Actually, I love the Mining Melancholy song too. And the Crocodile Cocophony with the Lyrics, hahahaha "Yum Yum! Potassium!!" The only one I was ...

I think it'd be doable, and honestly, extremely interesting. It would give them a reason to bring back a certain ape...fant.. that we all miss, and could expand upon DKC's world. Combining the DKC worlds, and the JC worlds? Adding new worlds? New kremlings/different monsters? Items/weapons/attacks/e...

These are so awesome Gnaw, and being the DBZ fan I am, I'm totally diggin' that first one.

Epic, sir. Epic.

I'd say Kiddy's suggestion works, go with the most common languages, and if any one that isn't on that list is suggested multiple times, add that one.

Yeah those soundtracks are just pretty amazing.

Not quite sure what my favorite opening theme is...I'm thinkin' the one from Budokai 2.

But 3 was pretty amazing too, 3 was just an amazing game all around.

Well, I mean, it was 5 hours for your first 102%;

That's not bad at all.

And now that you've done it once, improving your time should be no problem at all.

Speed running Metroid, eh?

I always get so confused halfway through those...they never seemed speed-runnable to me.

But huzzah for DK sped-runathon!

I found it ironic that everyone seconded the notion that this isn't a good place to ask for this kind of help, yet quite a few people are jumping in to give advice on the situation. :lol: Well it's just not quite as much fun to dismiss an issue like this without talking about it a LITTLE.... :oops:...

I'm pretty much repeating what Qyz said, but seriously: this is a DKC fansite, what could we do? Summon Donkey Kong to attack her? We could totally do that, guys. Anyway, I'd agree that this is certainly something in need of legal action...maybe tell your parents or the police or somethin. Or, if i...

Didn't work for me

That' disappointing, I'm stoked about the Koopalings comin' back.

Just uh, just thought you'd all like to know.

Also, hernia-removal recovery isn't fun.

It can be rather annoying, but that's the price non-Japanese hardcore Pokemon fans have to pay. it's not so bad.

What's your team lookin like right now, DKC-Player? my Spearow evolved (huzzah!) and i caught Sudowoodo, still haven't taken on Morty, but yeah.
