DKC Atlas Forum

So uh... I'm surprised no one's really posted yet, but I still don't have this son of a b...*bleep*...ch. It's possible I might not even get it until tomorrow. Did you guys feel it in the air when you woke up, that a new Donkey Kong Country had been unleashed on the world? Because I did.

Haha, soo, DKCR has been getting near-perfect reviews from just about everyone, in case you guys haven't been noticing. Destructoid and GameXplain both gave it perfect scores, Nintendo Power gave it an 8.5 (which should have been higher) and IGN gave it a 9.0 (which probably could have been a 9.5, b...

I think it's really stupid what Nintendo has done with the visual style. I know, I know, gameplay before graphics and all that crap, but come on... it looks like they colored it in with a Crayola 8-pack. At least Wind Waker had an entirely different visual style, this game is just Twilight Princess ...

'Sup bro.

...Welcome.

Correction: they're not only ripping off Kirby, they're ripping off pretty much every game franchise in existence. That doesn't make it right, mind you. It's less of a cliche and more of an over-tired boss genre that was hardly interesting in the first place.

Not the way I use 'em.

So anyway, I'm posting in this thread because...?

So, teetering on the verge of suicide, I decided to try and spoil myself on this game as much as I could. Lemme just say... Disappointed as f---. I dunno if he's the boss of the Golden Temple or what, but final boss right here. Like, holy God, please put me out of my misery. *Levels look good an...

They could've been outright lying to us. Apparently some people already know who the final boss is, so more power to 'em, but there is a chance we might be seeing K. Rool. Real or not (probably fake), let's not forget...

Mmkay, technically we don't, unless you're referring to something in those spoiler tags in which case further discussion should be placed in spoiler tags as well. I'm getting too tempted with this thread... I think I'm gonna have to stay away from the DKCR forum for about eight days.

Yeah, I just got the new GameInformer and I can confirm they gave DKCR Game of the Month and a 9.5. They had nothing but praise for it, except one remark about shaking the Wii Remote to roll not being as intuitive as it could be... Which is something I've expected from the beginning. It baffles me w...

I'm honestly not trying to be nitpicky here. But that's a bit too transparent, don't you think? I'm just tempted to move my mouse over it thinking it'll darken up, but... well, you know.

OH MY GOSH!!! Twitter just decided to restore my account, praise da Lawd (my profile: https://twitter.com/#!/tiptupjr94 ). Be warned that most of it is just random spamming of Lady Gaga hashtags, I haven't updated in months. Anywayy... Simion's design is pretty cool, I'd also be fine with the curren...

I used to religiously worship Lady Gaga, but when that started to border on Satanic obsession I distanced myself from her and focused on mainly Christian artists... Haha, I hate sounding religious, but they get a bad rep from the mainstream when there are actually some legitimate ones... I'm also a ...

Eh... I don't like it either, but like I said, if I don't have to do it then I'm fine. I guess this kinda thing's pretty universal in Nintendo games these days (NSMBW, Galaxy 2). Plus it just dawned on me: we know some items require Diddy's jetpack to reach, so expect a ...

Well yeah, I had gathered that much without a translator, it just seems strange. And do you pay $999 to enter the contest or something? Ahhh! Still beats our crappy banana-shaped Wii Remote holder, though... sad face.

Not in my area. But what's that on the right? Something about the Donkey Kong arcade? ...I'm taking in Spanish in skewl, but it's a work in progress. I've still yet to preorder, but it's basically a matter of catching my dad in a good mood and persuading him to drive to the city to get it... we live...

Dude, you can barely notice it and it doesn't make a difference anyway. Gotta give props to Qyz for it... we should lay off him.

Have you tried searching for "DKC Atlas" on Facebook lately? ;) Tee hee. But yeah, the reason I got into this "Twitter sucks" mentality the other day is because if you use Facebook, the only reason you really need a Twitter is to join contests (like the Hoard of Hype) and more o...

So I just noticed those little Twitter blurbs on the top right of the screen- pretty interesting idea. I think that could be a really good, interactive tool, except... dammit, because I deleted my Twitter the other day. Maybe a Facebook group/page?

Eh, I'm pretty anti-Halloween. I could get all religious and throw a bunch of different websites and links at everyone, but basically, it's just... not right. It celebrates fear and evil things, and I'm just not "down" with it. Yo. (I did dress up as a kid, but I was less enlightened then.)

It's gonna be fricking epic, dude. I am pretty excited, despite all the stuff I've said previously... I'm completely alright with the Tiki Tak Tribe (tee hee) and while the lack of a few more Kongs is a bummer, I'd be a fool if I wasn't drooling out the mouth for this. I'm actually gonna try to stay...

He accepted mine too! And a lot of others by the looks of it... hm. Does Grant Kirkhope have a Facebook? I mean, God bless David, but Grant's just alright.

YES!!! I'm so excited about Korra. Avatar is a pretty epic show, although looking back on it... some moments were a bit forced. Especially some dialog that's supposed to be all sad and epic but just comes across as ridiculous. Still though, best animated show hands down. Can't wait for the new serie...

A new trailer and screenshots are up on Nintendo's press site (user name "guest", password "nintendo") - http://press.nintendo.com/object?id=24728 The trailer's on YouTube here, and screens and everything are on IGN [url]here.[/url] Look at that cutscene animation at the beginnin...

...Jungle Climber?

Alright. Do not- I repeat, DO NOT- click on this unless you're interested in viewing *possible* major spoilers. I am not kidding. Those interested in finding certain things out for themselves should NOT click this. You have been warned. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=274...

Haha, you're welcome. I mean, I'm still getting it and all- but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Or maybe a whole salt shaker. There sure are a lot of negative feelings in this thread! Thank you for defending me Phyreburnz, but I don't necessarily feel attacked... Maybe just a bit. Anyhoo, peace,...

Hey guys... so earlier in computer class, I got bored and wondered just exactly how many games there were in the Donkey Kong franchise. So after some sleuthing and much toiling in Microsoft Word, I found there are 83 titles in the total Donkey Kong series. This basically includes games with Donkey K...

Hey guess what DK4Ever! I'VE PROBABLY SEEN ABOUT A HUNDRED SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEOS, PLUS WE HAVE EXPLICIT CONFIRMATION THAT CRANKY IS THE ONLY HELPER KONG AND THE KREMLINGS AND WATER LEVELS ARE OUT. No we haven't played the game, but we are completely justified in bitching about it. Like... are you k...

Hi rman! Welcome to the family. Most of us have been long-time DKC fans, soo... You should blend perfectly.

[Two years later] Speaking of missed characters, look who we have here! http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/mkwii/charactericons.png This is a sheet of character icons from Girrrtacos at Spriter's Resource. You uh, might be able to see why I'm emotional about this. SCREW THE WII for not h...

Who the hell am I kidding, I can't stay away from here. Simion was on the right track to a really great point there... I mean, I'm old-fashioned. Modern gamers argue that making you wait for a reward or playing several repetitive levels to get to a really good one is fundamentally bad game design. I...

So uh, I'm probably gonna stop posting here for awhile, possibly forever. I'm just sick of this crap with the new game, and it's always gotta turn into a huge bitchwar whenever I have an opinion that's different from everyone else's. Plus this place just ain't the DKU.

...Tell Qyz I said bye.

She died playing her Nintendo 64... it's how she wanted to go.

*insert generic question here?*

I`d ask why, but my level of caring is pretty much zero right now. I`m the only person on this forum telling it like it is, and you`re all getting mad at me for it. I knew from the start I wouldn`t be able to keep defending this piece-o'-$#!† game, and everything that`s happened over the past fe...

Eh, I'd say K. Rool's a given. I don't care if he's gone from DKCR, it's one game: He'll be there. Ha, throw in Dixie for the heck of it and I'll be happy. If Pokemon can have SIX FRICKING CHARACTERS, and Zelda five, I legitimately don't see why not. Also include classic stages from all previous Sma...

So... Sean said this on the DKU, and I'm posting it here because I think he's spot on with it: Honestly, that's what annoying me about all this more than anything. Not that there's no one else in the game, but that the people who don't even like the series, or at least not the parts that make it DKC...

I, personally, don`t think it was unnecessary. That was literally the reaction I had to this information and I think Retro, Nintendo, or whoever did this needs to know they messed up big time. Plus Nintendo Power`s remarks about Rare`s characters... simply unexcusable. I cannot believe we`re still b...

Alright... bumping this because I have something new to add, and apparently I didn't finish a conversation with Jomingo. As seen here ( http://www.dkvine.com/newnews/images/DKCR_NP_4.jpg ), Cranky once again refers to DK as his grandson. I believe it is time to rid ourselves of our silly Rare fanati...

f--- NINTENDO POWER AND f--- ALL THEY STAND FOR OH MY effing WHAT WHAT IS THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE HOLY f--- f--- THEM LOOK WHAT THEEY SAID ON PAGE 4 f--- THEM IN THEIR ASSES AND SCREW YOU TOO RETRO I HATE EVERYOEN WHERE ARE THE KREMLINGS WELL IM' GONNA GO IKLL MYSELF OH YEAH WATER LEVELS AND LA...

Yeah. Bad show, Retro. To me a good DKC requires at least three helper Kongs- DKC2 of course had four plus Klubba- but at least it looks like Cranky's crankiness has returned. Someone at the DKU posted some quotes are something, and I was rather pleased. Also he calls DK his grandson. (Mwah...

SPOILER TAGS BRO!! Can we get a mod over here or something?

Possible spoiler, click with caution: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/adventure/donkeykongcountryreturns/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-56849464&pid=997764: In one of the cruelest displays of irony the world has ever seen, it looks like Cranky might be the only helper Kong. I say it's ironic becaus...

Yeah, even so, he probably had at least some level of influence, and I can't help but think the Blast Barrels and DK coins were just warm-ups for Donkey Kong Country Returns. :P Also, I am LOVING this screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25792657@N00/5081729350/in/set-72157625038865459/ It's jus...

So yeah, a few completely random musings that have been in my head for awhile... First, it is becoming increasingly weird to me that what we had assumed about Nintendo and Miyamoto (in terms of them not caring about DK or his fans) were largely incorrect. I mean, it's completely forgivable that sixt...

Hahaha, alrighty. Looking forward to it. They might as well just rename this the Tiptup and Jomingo + friends forum (kidding.)

It's certainly not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, and Nintendo easily has the resources to do it in a minimal amount of time, but it still would take some effort. Okay then... why can't they just put in some effort? It's effing Nintendo. I'm pretty sure they've put effort into things...

Jomingo, first of all let's just establish the fact that we both know nothing about video game coding. It would be easy as f--- to just plug in the DK Jr. VC release or something. Nintendo has done much harder things before, this whole argument with Jetpac is retarded as f---. It has nothing to do w...

Ah yes, I always remember I used to sit there and just stare at that crate, then try to bring it safely to the end of the level... Never worked. Rare removed it from the GBA version, so maybe it really was a mistake (or some developer just felt like messing around, I dunno.)
