DKC Atlas Forum

Still as inspiring as ever. I'm gonna have to catch up on most of the runs when the vids are released though.
Loved the low% MMX 3 run. Did anyone catch shovel knight how was it?

Wrote something for the Smash Bros. voting thing Nintendo's doing, though I had some trouble fitting it into 500 characters: Originally: The resurgence of the Donkey Kong brand, with Retro's Donkey Kong Country Returns and now Tropical Freeze, has been nothing short of a treat, but someone's been mi...

I don't have any solid insight into Retro's current/future 3DS plans, but the 'Returns port sold over a million and a half copies, and Tropical Freeze has met with plenty of positive feedback. I'm sure TF would've sold a lot more copies if Wii U hardware sales were higher, so I think it would be si...

What light through yonder window breaks?

May 12th season 1 arrives! So many people will get to be serenaded by DK's angelic voice.

Super Bomberman Bomberman is a perfect example of a series I've never been able to conquer. Bomberman stages are these long leisurely puzzles and, they're always a major time sink for me; especially if I screw up and die. They're great party games though. I have a lot of fond memories playing Super...

Anyone got their eye on Retro rumor mills? Just got a 3DS and I'm hoping they release a Tropical Freeze port like they did with Returns. Don't know how well that worked out for them... *blind optimism* :pointy-tuck: and I just realized 3DSs are region locked so my system is kind of severely handicap...

Hmm, three PM's and- Holy crap. What an undertaking. Hat's off to Super Luigi! for summoning approximately 657 people. :banana: Looks like I'm late to the party. (obviously I don't get email notifications related to here). Happy Belated Birthday! Hard to believe this place is 6 years old. Loving the...

Story goes Diddy was on watch guarding the hoard

that faithful night the Kremlings came ashore.

Stuffed him in a barrel and made off with their score.

and that's where you find him the next morning. (What I could never make that rhythm last)

1 mango, peeled 1 frozen banana, pre-sliced 1 cup low fat milk ¼ teaspoon pure rum extract Don't have some key ingredients yet (like a banana!) but, I made the mistake of lurking around the chat until a sudden craving hit me. Originally called for 1/2 cup of coconut milk and only 1/2 low fat but, re...

Thanks Tompa! Oh wow, in the middle of Wind Waker now, and you guys just set that goal. OMG spoilers!

Does anyone know when the Bonus Stream kicks in? Not finding much info on it and I still got one more event I'm looking forward to: Mario Party! (and melee if that was thing this year)

I found it entertaining. Expecially the banter between you and hippie.

Don't mind me time stamping the runs while I dig for Actraiser 2 and Mega Man Block. Day -1 Jak and Dextar Crash Bandicoot Spyro: Year of the Dragon - Race VIEWTIFUL Joe Pikmin 3 Super Monkey Ball 2 - 3 way Race Kirby's Adventure Cave Story - All that setup and it still doesn't run at full speed. TA...

That's exactly what went off.

SDA Twitter update:
"Trihex is on fire! Either that, or the kitchen at AGDQ. We'll be right back!"

They're back

Ah, apparently there was a small fire somewhere in the building.

I slept through Rockman, and Forte

Least I get to catch the tail end of the Mega Man block. Looking forward to Yoshi.

Oh cool! MM9 has a it's own version of the pause glitch.

The dinos are running.

Just the fact it was possible to program them into the game like that was mind blowing. xD Creative use of multitap indeed.

Ah, You missed a good one. Grant Kirkhope the games composer was even on Skype with them during Rusty Bucket Bay.

Surprised you've never heard of I want to be the guy. It's kind of notorious for it's difficulty.

That Super Mario World TAS was nuts!

Great Job to all involved.

8 hours and counting.

I'm looking forward to this, Though most of the runs on my radar don't kick off until the next day.

These marathons always put me in good spirits.

Well consider me excited. Cranky wouldn't of been my first choice but after everybody clamored for him to be the super guide guess this works as an ultimatum. :thumbs: I'm really liking the cane mechanic. Looks like it'll really set him apart form the others, and I can't help but point out the DuckT...

Qyzbud wrote:H does feel like a bit of a shame not to have another "new" SNES-era Kong return to the series

If Cranky's playable than who's running the shops? (Oh who am I kidding. It'll probably be squawks or something)

I don't think Belcha is all that weird. Barrels are a motif of the series since the beginning. Having a living one is right up there with banana fairies/aliens, or heck dumb drum anyone?

For Krusha I think it's in the animation that looks a bit off. If his top half were a little more animated, like his arms and torso swivelled with his hips a litte? How are the jumping mechanics looking, and will we get to see them put to the test in the next video? (Was recently ironing out jumping...

May as well resurrect this topic as oppose to making one just like it. I've been using my summers lately to go on little gaming binges. Last summer I beat most of my backlog of Zelda titles and this year I've finally introduced myself to the Final Fantasy series. So far I've finished the first two c...

Colt wondering when the tree you planted will develop buds.

Monster Rancher 2's english translation is known to have a few holes. This one's become pretty infamous.

Any fighting game fans, or gamers in general, here watching Evo?

Catching the Melee pools myself.

On that point I agree. The use of Diddy as a power-up conserns me and needs to be retooled. It makes no logical sense for DK to take a hit and have someone else run off, unless your intent is for that character to come off as cowardly.

I know technically they're the same character I was referring to the fact that as far as Smash is concerned Shiek is her own character, with a wholly unique moveset and fighting style. Basically Zelda is two fighters in one , with about 7 specials about 16 normal moves as oppose to the standard 4 an...

That echos my feelings about Wii Fit Trainer.

Tiptup Jr. wrote:Except that makes no sense whatsoever, since Diddy and Dixie are not the same character.

How the hell does that make no sense? Because they don't have to be the same character to tag out like that.

I am certainly glad to see someone other then Paon handling the franchise, and that It's seen as such a disappointment in so many fans eyes is really a let down. I find it funny how much stock we put in a name. Jungle Beat got away with so much in my eyes, despite looking like something trying so de...

I actually like how his fur looks for the most part. Though I think they nailed it with his brawl model, so any big steps away from that will probably be looked down upon by me. I realize Tropical Freeze doesn't help K. Rool but, then again a lot of what Smash operates on is fan service so I think h...

I agree, think it would be interesting to see them as a tag team in refrence to the Country games. Still vaying for K. Rool first and foremost. He's easier to justify since we already have one chimp in the roster.The closest Smash has had to K. Rool in my mind is somewhere between Bowser, and Dedede.

A lot of games for System have it tacked on. I imagine they felt pressured to make use of the motion control even though a game like this doesn't call for it.

With brand new water stages I'll keep my fingers crossed for a certain swordfish. Engarde!

It feels good to see Dixie rendered beside DK, and Diddy for a core platformer. Is the banana forzen? Thought it was plastic wrap for a second. Fourth character? A.) Placing my bets for Funky now. B.) This would point to more character combinations. Going back to A if Diddy and Dixie are bot...

Map roll to an honest button, 70 percent of the work done right there, and after the way Other M was recieved I wouldn't expect them to turn out another Metroid this quick.

Now we're talking! First welcome back Dixie! Second water stages, weren't an issue for me last game but, I know at lot of people missed them. I already spot what looks like a giant fish boss, or maybe it*s a giant mook, it Kind of brings Squirt to mind. Still no sign of the Kremling hoards, however,...

Well I think looking at existing card games is a good way to go about it at first.
If you have an idea then go for it. Run with it see what happens.

http://www.ign.com/articles/1999/12/01/dk-card-game-announced I take it these are the ones you're thinking of? I always liked them for the art style personally. Afraid I don't know how the game was played, though I'd be interested to know myself. Apparently it involved power, skill, and speed values...

Welcome back random thoughts topic! You were missed.
Have a summer snowman.:

Hm, Chunky for liar as his cowards belies his strength. I'd put Donkey and Cranky the same places EvangeliKong does. Leader, He's the leader of the bunch you know him well..., and Prophet. Funky's a real wild card could be solider, going off his weapon expertise in DK64 though it doesn't go with his...

Squirt always seemed an exception to that notion. To me it's the boss that represents nature, and mystery. Where Belcha, Bleak,
KAOS are the experiments.

Hm, nope, not Squirts cousin. What it could be is stunfisk's long lost evolution!

Oh this looks neat hopefully I'll get time to play around with it more next week.





Character select screens!

The sky's a vast improvement! Much less cloudy, and the sunsets in the other direction now. It lets the right half of the image compete better with the cabin and cliff. Agree with Qzy, the new ground is a hell of an improvement but, maybe a little too dull, or muted. Something to experiment with. Oh...

Was also among the people constantly logging back in. I eventually set it to log me in automatically, and haven't had any problems since.

Yeah, contrary to what Who's Online is telling me the chat is empty.
"In our day the random thoughts topic was more active then this!"

That rock face is gorgouis. Seriously with that texture, and the leaves casting their shadows, that side of the render really pops out to me. :thumbs: Since you asked, it fills out the picture alright but,the skyline is easily the most uninteresting part of the image to me. Other sections draw my at...

Ah, they mentioned that the bee would one day wreck the game. That must be what they were referring to. ;) I mean, I'm not one to recommend the use of emulators... but I wholeheartedly recommend the use of emulators. ;) Oh, I have no issue with emulators. However, I've managed to restrict myself for...
