Know what's a fun DK game? Diddy Kong Racing.

Sorry but I love DK 64 to death! I know a lot of fans think they went over the top with it, but I love it and that's it.

I am not looking through rose tinted glasses either, I played it through and collected everything only 3 or 4 months ago, and tbh I loved every second of it, maybe even more so than when I was a kid.

This game could be a chance for a new generation of gamers to get in to this genre, and older gamers to reminisce.

I know a lot of people disliked DK64 but personally I loved it. As a fan of collectathons, I personally enjoy it (still do) immensely. It's not quite on the levels of the two Banjo games, or perhaps Conker's Bad Fur Day, but what is?! My only gripe with 64 was Tiny (and to an extent Chunky) being playable over Dixie (and Kiddy).

Furthermore, I know that people hated Nuts and Bolts but it was actually a great game for what it was. It wasn't a good Banjo game per se, but it was a good game nonetheless.

Rumour has it that BK will also be getting a new game at E3. So this could be a good year for fans of 3D platforming collectathons.

For what Nuts and Bolts is, it's a damn fine game. Not the threeie fans wanted but still amazing.

I feel like if they'd been consistently making Banjo games then deviating into Nuts and Bolts would have been more accepted. Making Nuts and Bolts as a soft reboot while also taunting fans with what it was like before was a tease and evidently didn't go down well.

I guess they tried something fresh, I loved it, so much to sink your teeth in to.

I enjoyed it too. But I can see why people didn't like it.

101%?

Sheesh, that was a bit of a pain to achieve... hopefully it's still preserved on my cartridge heh...

As someone who never played the Banjo-Kazooie games and yet has been dying to, I am definitely looking forward to this game. What excites me more is that a group of ex-Rare staff banded together to form a new company. They say Retro Studios is the new Rare but truthfully, this is the new Rare. I just hope Microsoft stays as far away from this company as possible.

And Oye! Lay off DK64! That's my childhood you are mocking!

DK64 is a mess, kids. You can still like it and want to play it, but it's so convoluted and broken it isn't even funny.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 02-11-2015, 09:00 AM

Well, I don't like to brag but I guess that makes me a skilled player!

Who the shell are you calling "kid" I am most likely older than you

DK 64 rules!

That’s an odd way to say Sonic 06.

Donkey Kong 64 will always be the last Donkey Kong game for me. The Retro games to me just turned Donkey Kong into another cutesy platformer. I just hope this team of ex-Rare developers does better then that team of ex-Naughty Dog developers.

Peanut · 02-11-2015, 10:10 AM

I need to learn when I'm talking to the wrong crowd.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 02-11-2015, 10:56 AM

No dude, you're fine, too each his own. I understand that the game isn't for everyone and it has it's shortcomings but I tend to ignore them because the experience is too engaging for me.

What does a cutesy platformer mean? The DKCR games are great. Jungle Beat was also amazing and you can play the Wii port of it without the bongo controls.

DK64 was terrible. Even back in 1999 I knew it was a step down from Banjo Kazooie and its just aged even more terribly over the last 15 years.

*Powder* · 02-11-2015, 04:20 PM

I absolutely hate DK64. It sucks. It looks bad & is bad. Objectively.

Hey, there's always that infamous theme song... which I at least admit is kinda catchy!

What a strange selection of playable characters they went with after building up an entirely different set of personalities in the DKC SNES games.

Hahaha, sure, that's exactly what it means. Not that, you know, you're willing to look past a game's faults because you like it. WHICH IS FINE, no need to get defensive.

Another cutesy platformer? I...really don't see what you mean or what even the problem would be. The Returns games are fun, that's what counts.

I was joking, dude. :/

I think he means through an aesthetic viewpoint, which I disagree but to each his own.

S'wrong with that? I call everyone kid. There's guys at work in their 40s that I call "kid".

It's a very special kind of person who gets annoyed or offended at that term being used.
