DKC Atlas Forum

With that last bit I meant, I think I have pretty good reasons for not liking Retro's games, I don't bow down and worship them whenever they slap "Donkey Kong Country" on the cover of something. (Not saying that's what you guys do, just an example.) And yeah, I guess the video game instruc...

To those who own this game, can anyone tell me if the game or manual make any reference to Cranky's relationship to DK? Returns still calls him his grandpa, I just wanna see if that's followed up on. And in response to Super Luigi's "I'm turning into Tiptup Jr." comment: I lol'd. And welco...

I been playing DKC3 lately. In hard mode, on the Super Nintendo at least, Lightning Look-Out is hard as f---. I borderline hate this level. It's not too hard to familiarize yourself with the lightning patterns but it still just fucks you over and over. Poisonous Pipeline, Swoopy Salvo, Rocket Rush, ...

Yeah, the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 3 is BITCHIN'. Probably my favorite of the ports. And Pacifica is awesome. My 105% in-game time is either 2:32 or 2:33, I don't have my cartridge on hand at the moment. But yeah, good game. Great soundtrack too.

lol I'm back (inb4 rage) soo... Cranky. First of all, awesome, about damn time. However, there are some things I'm not really happy about (surprise!) Mainly, and this is the number one complaint I'm seeing in all online communities: you can't be that motherflipper in one-player. f--- this. It's so a...

When the f--- will there be news on this god damn game? Jesus Christ. Also, does anyone here own a Wii U? I don't, and never plan on it, until the next Smash comes out and I have a few hundred dollars to blow. Until then there's still like zero effing games. Pikmin? Oh yeah, cool, awesome. Now that ...

I gave up on the species thing a long time ago. A Kong is a Kong. I was thinking they could take his hat off, replace it with a few strands of hair, and remove his tail. Then he'd look like a good Donkey Kong Jr. (In the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong and the Game & Watch Galleries, he's more s...

Yeah, I wasn't really thinking about continuity, I just think it would be cool to see him. I don't have it on hand, but I think the Returns manual says Cranky is DK's grandfather. It would be moot to go over the DK lineage discussion, but a simple "lol time travel" would work well enough f...

Retro is all about reviving "blasts from the past" lol. Anyway, I initially wanted Kiddy but now I'm of two minds. I really, really like Donkey Kong Jr. and it would be bitchin' cool if he was in this. Besides, I think they've confirmed that the fourth Kong will just be another power-up K...

CaptainEddie, the Kremlings in DKC2 look exactly like the games from the first game. Look at effing Kannon. The third one takes place in a different area of the world entirely after the Kremling power source is destroyed, so yeah, there are different "breeds" of Kremling. Also, you seem to...

...I just can't decide if he looks more ridiculous with or without teeth. Also, sorry guys, Tropical Freeze Dixie is hideous. I don't see why they had to abandon Rare's mostly perfect design. Even Paon Dixie wasn't that bad. Actually, now that I think about it, Mario Superstar Baseball was probably ...

I'm on a dodgy phone, so I'll just use actual quotation marks. "Besides, each DKC added new enemies." Each DKC still had Kremlings , and... In regards to the name, I'll use this argument until the end of time: Imagine if they stopped making major Mario games after Super Mario 64, and ten y...

What can I say, I'm a purist to the original games. In my opinion, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3 are effing Jesus and every other game bows down to them. Donkey Kong Country Returns? Without K. Rool? b...*bleep*...ch please. (The b...*bleep*...ch being Retro, not you guys.) Obviously Retro are not...

Everyone, I'd like to ask an honest question here: is there anyone on this forum who hates this game as much as I do? And thinks there are only three Donkey Kong Country games (like a true fan should?) I'm bored as hell but also genuinely wondering if anyone here dislikes this game, and to what exte...

Nintendo hasn't blessed anyone with anything in a long, long time, let alone the modern Donkey Kong mythos. It's Rare you should be thanking. The fans don't owe Nintendo crap, and have the right to complain about whatever they want.

Sorry, not trying to be hostile, just saying.

Well, I was spending the night at my grandparents' appartment complex last night and somebody got murdered in the building down from us. No, really. I guess some girl had two boyfriends and one of them broke in and killed the other one. This is why we can't have nice things. EDIT: Not only that, we ...

So sorry to get your hopes up Tiptup Jr., but it seems that your opinion is the general one that is widely shared among the DKC fanbase. But that shouldn't be a problem. http://www.reactionface.info/sites/default/files/images/1310560627643.jpg Anyway, as I've said earlier in this thread I hope they...

I can't wait to be lambasted for these negative opinions here, but WHY can't they just give people what they want?? With blowing out of the question we can assume right now that Diddy and Dixie have the same abilities as Donkey Kong. Actually moreso, because they can fly. AND you can be them in mult...

Hmm. What's a DW, exactly? Never had a Tumblr, heh.

Hmm. I can't say if we'll ever see Gnawties (I think that's the correct plural) again, although it's not out of the realm of possibility. They were kind of cute in the first DKC, but their constant squeals and chirping made DK64 a nightmare. :dixiecry: Especially this bonus barrel where you had to b...

I like this thread we're posting in, the Super Mario Bros. 2 topic. Anywayy, who do we all think the fourth character is gonna be? I hope it's this guy! :kiddycool: I do NOT think it should be K. Rool, as some have suggested. First off, he's supposed to be hella big and not DK-sized; second, if he d...

To be fair, super Mario bros 2 is NOT a true Mario game. It was its own game originally Wrong. Doki Doki Panic(the game that became Super Mario Bros 2 in the US) was originally a Super Mario 2 prototype. So in a way it was always meant to be a Mario game. I've never heard this before... source plox...

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. Because Zelda TRANSFORMS into Sheik; they are actually the same character (as per Ocarina of Time.) I...

To Phyreburnz: Yes, but even that wasn't the point I was trying to make: Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't the grand return of a beloved series after an over decade-long absence. The comparison is irrelevant and contrived. To nintendobarn: That literally could not make less sense. Jungle Beat was also a pl...

Wrong. I've played the crap out of SMB2. But the series was young as hell at that point and Bowser was not as inextricably linked to Mario as he is now. Plus, he was in Lost Levels (the "true" SMB2.) Read what I said: Super Mario Bros. FOUR, not Two. I did not say Tropical Freeze's lack of...

Nintendo didn't exactly have a lot of humanoid females in their roster, so I'm not ragequitting yet. The only other casual-type character I'd be okay with is Miis, MAYBE. After that I want definitively non-shitty characters.

Oh, but Jigglypuff has to be back too.

Well Soniccuz, you're right about one thing: I DO let Jungle Beat get away with a lot more because it does not call itself a Donkey Kong Country. The developers stated from the get-go that they were doing their own thing and not trying to pretend it was something it wasn't. Because of that, Jungle B...

The tag team a lot of people seem to have in mind is more in line with the Zelda/Shiek transformation, Two characters you can switch between, and the Ice Climbers always work as one unit. If they can make her work as a seprate character I'm all for that. I'd just like the option to bring both of th...

His fur is alright (Sakurai said they've intentionally gone with a "primary colors" look for this game) but his facial expressions are god-awful. I prefer the scowling badass from Brawl. Also: keep Diddy and Dixie separate. I don't want more than one team-up besides the Ice Climbers, it wo...

I mean, hey, Metroid is a great series. My brother is a big Metroid fan and (though he also likes Donkey Kong) was a bit disheartened that the franchise was nowhere to be seen. I kinda feel the same way. DK's been doing alright these past couple years (though I still hated Returns!) but I just want ...

Wow, okay. First off: I don't really see the point in adding other Kongs when all they do is ride on DK's back. More Kongs = better. I don't know why they wouldn't stick to the DKC formula and have you be able to switch characters. I really hope they do something and switch that... but I don't see t...

Hey, maybe Qyz or a mod could just change the name of this topic to "Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D"? I'm planning on making a more detailed post here soon but I keep skimming over the topic. Just a suggestion.

You are like bipolar when it comes to this game. Sooo. My brother brought this game over the other day. I played through it again, got to World 8... guys, you have to understand where I'm coming from. The Donkey Kong Country games MADE MY FRICKING CHILDHOOD. They mean so much to me. So yeah, when s...

Couple months late but, thank you.

Does anyone here watch American Idol?

Well, not sure about what Simion said, but I'm a little psychic too. My great great grandparents were gypsies or some crap, I guess.

By the way, I'm back! Time to discuss Donkey Kong! ...oh wait.

How is it legal to make these things, more or less sell them?

So, um, I've never seen Doctor Who. I divide my time watching the Patty Duke Show at 5 AM followed by the Today show and Rachael Ray, then depending on the day of the week I'm either watching The Batchelor on Monday, New Girl and Mindy Project on Tuesday, Parks & Rec, Office, and 30 Rock on Thur...

I might be responding to this a year and a half late, but the "Chest of Time" was semi-created by the good people over at dkvine.com to account for Baby Mario, DK Jr., and other characters appearing in games where they shouldn't. Watch the opening cutscene to the original Super Smash Bros....

Yeah, it's ironic; one of the only things keeping the show from being canon is the appearance of the island and some minor cosmetic things with the characters (mostly Candy). Then again, the island appears different in Returns so who knows. I had never thought about the show being a prequel to the g...

Mom's husband lost his job day after Christmas (I live with them, so it's been tough.) Didn't get many presents, just some money. This holiday is really showing me what a dreadful, terrible place the world is. I just want a bunch of aliens to come blow us up, I'm done. *DK Jr. is dead and Cranky rai...

Really? The PAL boxart is bitchin'. I like that one.

DKC3 GBA was epic. It's probably the best of the ports. Here's hoping they release them soon on the eShop (not that I own a 3DS or anything.)

I loved Donkey Kong 64. I had an actual GameShark and cartridge and it had a lot of modifier cheats, I specifically remember being K. Rool. Sadly, my 101% save file ended up being erased by the hacking so yeah.

Well I've mostly been playing non-Nintendo games lately, and they are bitchin'. Good graphics, actual competitive online, etc. Nothing will usurp the DKCs from being the best games ever but Nintendo as a company is dead to me. Halo 4 is okay but I think Reach is better. Completed the 360 version of ...

Anyone else here seen Sucker Punch? It has Emily Browning (who I adore ) so I had been wanting to see it since before it came out last year, but I didn't get the chance until I broke down and bought the Blu-Ray on Amazon last week. Watched it twice in one day, then the next day I watched it in "...

Ah, well, okay. Hm. I had never heard of that before now. Americans, what can I say. Anyway, the Pikelet character himself is okay, just your stereotypical corrupt police chief - surely Rare could've pulled someone else from the Banjo cast for this position? I digress. But yeah, if you have an Xbox ...

So I've been playing a lot of Banjo lately, including Nuts & Bolts, and I've been wondering... how exactly do you pronounce the name of Pikelet, Showdown Town's police chief? Is it "peek-let" or "PIKE-let"? Any input would be appreciated.

Do you know how much money I would pay for this? Do you know the terrible things I would do to get my hands on this? If they took like, the original renders used to make the DKC games and released like, a SUPER ULTRA HD compilation disc with all three of them on there... oh god. Because think about ...

I found a wallet today at school just chillin' in the bathroom on top of the urinal. I looked inside to find a license, a military ID, a few credit cards and a lot of cash (I didn't count but there were plenty of 20s and 50s). I also stumbled upon a phone number that I promptly called. The guy answ...
