DKC Atlas Forum

Here's something I learn't as I was growing up Tiptup.

No one cares more about your mistakes then yourself.

Though I don't know what you did at DKU, but people tend to be more forgiving or more 'eh I don't care anymore'.

Paul the Octopus:

Helps you pick prizes out of question marked boxes and lets you race through shallow water and can spring while he's on land.

I was never fond of the 'pick buddy up' and throw them system. So, I'm glad that's out of DKCReturns.

That's really cool . How much more coding do you need to do?

Oh good :). Harmony in the DKC-Atlas forums once again heh. Anyhow, you know what would really be sad? If the Tiki's kidnapped Cranky Kong at the beginning of the game and then murdered him halfway through. That would be a bit serious and emotional no? EDIT: And I think you guys should truly start s...

Retro picking out the best of everything in a DKC series isn't a bad thing. And when I say that, I mean 'perceived' best of everything as anyone can make potential mistakes (which I am not saying in this post). Underwater levels being removed is understandable due to slow down though I believe there...

Cheeky monkey. I'm going to lock you inside a barrel. hehehe.

Is the name Alexis Greek? I use two names. ShaCur is for real-life encounters over the internet. It's the name of the protagonist in a 20,000 or so word book I wrote a few years ago. Scraps is for internet encounters on the internet (with 69 or 007 behind it). I used to play a game called Netstorm a...

This is me...



(Yes I do have two arms. It's just that I'm holding a bag behind me. I'm supposed to be Guile but the damn yellow hair paint turned green)

That would be interesting. DK gets bogged down in soft soil so Diddy has to continue!

Completed about 5-10% single level hack of tree top town. Production begins again. (oh yeah :mrgreen: ) I'm also releasing: Pre version 0.2 = 0.18. This includes fixes to Bouncy Bonanza, the title and credit screen by Mattrizzle, and the new level 'Vulture Culture' or as I'd like to call it 'Rambi's...

Shed_a_ninja's been in a few forums and caused trouble. You're absolutely right Kiddy14. Though I would want Diddy to be alive so I could use his jet pack constantly. The underwater stages will probably be a 'to be continued in a sequel' thing when they figure out how to make under water levels fast...

Hmmm....

Well, even though DK wears a tie, DKC1 and DKC2 were very serious games that took out of place or unusual elements (like DK being unable to breath underwater, orangutangs throwing barrels, and swinging in the icy mountains) and made them feel very serious. I hope Retro doesn't forget that.

That looks awesome Simion32!!!!!

Made me motivated to start working on level number 2 . Tough sucker but here we go.

God. We rejected you at DKU and now you come here. Just piss off troll.

that looks really cool =D

Shrugs, I suppose we can wait for more images to come up. Though there's this guy http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100615184310/donkeykong/images/6/60/DKPunchingTikiEnemy.png except I dont know where a picture of this is where this tiki isn't getting nailed by DK (though I'm getting really fo...

woohoo! that's cool! I was hoping for a Tiki avatar though (the bigger ones in the Mugly stadium)

where the hell are the kremlings then? That's what the community wants, how could they miss that? Shrugs, if people wanted Kremlings then they would have bought 'king of swing' and that Barrel racing game. They both sold pretty poorly... so I don't think it's extremely important. Just wait and see ...

I really like this second album compared to the first. The first one was pretty dull but this one is just catchy all the way through. Even the songs that everyone here seems to hate I actually quite like =D.

This is a really cool album . I enjoyed it thoroughly!

ok fair enough.

I believe that they have claimed in an interview that they have made the game harder to compensate for the extra health.

I'd like to see a 'hard' difficulty mode where DK and Diddy only get one heart.

Lastly, Scraps: When you are in single player you only have 2 hearts. When you acquire Diddy, he just adds 2 more hearts to DK's health, as well as his jetpack and popgun abilities. When you are in multiplayer, Diddy and DK have 2 hearts each. wow, 4 hearts??? That's alot of life!!! Except for fall...

*shrugs* yeah, I can understand why you're sad K. Rool isn't coming back for this iteration. Over time he has become more familiar with people and even acted as something of a comic relief for DK (I'd say this was when K. Rool was eaten by sharks in DKC2, and the ending in DKC3 with 'meddling kids',...

I'm an idiot. I just realised something I never knew about until figuring it out now for DKC1 and DKC2... I didn't know that a '!' next to the level name meant that you found all (or collect the kremkoin in DKC2) all the bonus stages. wow. and because I didn't know about it, I never actually finishe...

I have a wierd theory. It can easily be discarded as rubbish though: The tiki's are the kremlins. K. Rool meddled with witch doctor magic and made the animals of DK island fight his battle for him but at a cost: that all the kremlins/crocodiles turned into tiki's. The spell will lose it's effect upo...

That's a very good letter!!! It deserves a response. I think there will be a 'wait and see what we do' sort of response.

wow. SO much anger. I only listened to the audio of the gametrailer's interview. Was the guy that said 'who needs K Rool?' a retro employee or tanabe? If it was tanabe, you can't really blame retro (as they got to pretty much follow tanabe's orders). If it was a retro employee, well, shrugs, I suppo...

tiptup jnr, chill just a fraction eh? If you looked at the metroid series, you'll notice that there was some continuity or links that were made in the first game that ultimately made sense in the end. That was the Phazon (or the blue stuff that hurt you). I think Retro is doing the same thing. In th...

Re IGN interview and what is referred to earlier in this post There's a wierd thing about the question... this is the question : "IGN: How directly are you going to connect Donkey Kong Country Returns to the classic Super Nintendo games? Are you borrowing from the level designs? Are there g...

gah. it's kinda sad he doesn't write in here

I saw him online twice and I was thinking maybe he'll write something in here or at least, make a new forum labelled DKC Returns.

That looks like fantastic stuff Mattrizzle! Hmmmm, though I think there's probably even more code. For example, the grey krusha's in trik trak trek can also walk on the platforms. I think they are BB89 (though I'm referring to my messy notes and havn't checked now). And there's a wooden barrel that ...

yep ;) I knew ;). Actually, the platforms and sprites issue etc is covered in Vulture Culture. Steel barrels cannot be placed on a moving platform. However the wooden barrels in trik trak trek can. Also, grey krusha's can walk back and forth quite well. So that's good. I can privately link you to th...

mm, that's pretty nuts. Maybe Miyamoto had some plans. He was probably going to make DK WII but then it turned into a new super mario bros. project. If that's the case, it just shows Miyamoto can't help himself but pimp his mario creation eh? This game looks like in very good hands. The head of retr...

Iwata asks on DKCReturns:

http://e3.nintendo.com/iwata-asks/

Appariently production was someitme in 2008 April. that's wierd, everyone keeps saying 2006.

Gah. I hope Pauline gets it good and hard for this.

hahaha. kinda makes me think of this:

Retro's confirmed that you can play the game with sideways remote control. Nintendo wanted the demo to be with both remote and nun-chuck controls. So, this might make the DK roll by pressing a button feel more intuitive then roll by shaking. I'm very glad! Source: http://www.infendo.com/e3-hands-on-...

Hey, POTENTIAL SPOILER a retro worker kind of implied that there could be more then just diddy kong in the game. Check out the second last paragraph in this DKC Returns (it's hard not to type reloaded for some reason) hands on by 'The tanooki': http://www.thetanooki.com/2010/06/1...

Actually, Im thinking K Rool may be a witchdoctor mastermind. or the tiki's have taken control of K. Rool and he'll be the second last boss. Though, if all the animals are under the control of the Tiki, I'm assuming the animal buddies will probably be out of this game. Pity if that's the case, Rambi...

is that even a 3DS? or just a plain DS? I think it's more of an illustration of playing games then anything that may be used to predict future titles. Though I will admit, Retro has been on a huge hiatus so it's very well possible that there has been co-development. And traditionally there has been ...

No, the breathing move does not replace the ground slap, in fact both DK and Diddy can do the ground slap now. Also, there is a roll+jump move though it wasn't in the gameplay trailer. Everyone who has played the game on the floor is claiming you twitch the wii remote to roll and then you can jump ...

Just looking at some gameplay vids. Here is something I noticed... No 'Roll + jump' is there. The only rolling is via diddy over long terrain kinda like a steel keg. Also, Donkey kong takes a big breath to uncover leaves and this replaces the slap attack. Though you'll also see in the trailer when D...

my heart just skipped a beat. IM SO PUMPED!!!! HAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA. though what's with the hearts? 2 hits before changing kongs right?

EDIT: It's a wii game according to IGN

I'll be pissed if that's the case... I hate handhelds.

Rayman: Origins looks pretty cool : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5sEfbZWmsw

Though, I was kinda sad about no beyond good and evil 2 (((

EDIT: Though Assassin's creed: Brotherhood looks cool too.

Ubisoft pretty much is the best thing of E3 for me so far.

I hope it's fast paced.

heh, whoever got elected the result would be the same. I think Obama is doing a good thing with the medicare system for America.

Though generally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM5YDI7ttME

yep, simion32 is right. What they did with metroid series was damn good. And you guys are talking about CoD developing a mario game. That's a fair enough worry. But you're also forgetting that Miyamoto will be very closely attached to the project just like he was in metroid prime. SO, there's not mu...

When I was a kid. Funky Kong was the bomb. By far my favourite kong... but as I havn't been exposed to him very much compared to DK and diddy. I'd say, DK, diddy, and then Funky. And then Cranky.
