Will Nintendo please stop..........

making these new gimmicky Donkey Kong games and bring us back the glorious platformer it used to be?

Seriously I hated all the jungle beat games despite some telling me they were "O.K.". I'v just played Barrel Blast now and couldn't stand 10 minutes of it without getting bored and almost destroying the controller because of how pathetic the controls were. I loved Donkey Kong country, I loved DK64, hell I even like Mario Vs Donkey Kong march of the minis better, please Nintendo, stop making these lame games and bring us back a kickass platformer it used to be

DK64 was really a good game I wouldn't mind something like it for the wii.blink720

Agreed I would too want a game like DK64 on Wii

Rare tried their hardest to kill the franchise

If they do a platformer again just take him out of the jungle.

No Rare lacked the imagination to do anything but the same game time and time again

If Mario followed that path Mario 3 would have been exactly like Lost Levels.

Rare found what worked and lacked the ability to expand on it. They took Donkey Kong and drove him into the ground. It's only the control schemes which have kept the DK license afloat.

DK needs a new platformer that's nowhere near an island or a jungle.

I agree. I want a true sequel to DK64! Or perhaps a new 2D Donkey Kong Country (it could be on DS, as they did with New Super Mario Bros.)The_Pig_Hostage

So you'd rather have Donkey Konga & Donkey Kong Barrel Blast over DKC & DK64? Are you crazy?

Speaking of 2D Donkey Kong on the DS, I just remembered something.... has anyone played DK Jungle Climber? I heard it was actually pretty good, and done in the visual style of the Rare games.

DK64 was amazing. Obviously the other methods they used are complete failures.

They need to make a new DK 3d platformer that is unique and completely different from SMG.

Donkey Kong 64, as well as Donkey Kong country were near perfect games. Rare didn't kill Donkey Kong. If it wasn't for DK64, then Donkey Kong might have fallen into the cracks like Kirby did...

People really don't seem to agree with you on this one. I guess the moral of the story is: People will buy the same game over and over again and be happy...if it works.

I personally don't know where DK can go other than the jungle. I mean, even in Donkey Konga, Jungle Beat and Barrel Blast he's in the jungle. So the only thing that is different is that you use bongo drums (or pretend to in Barrel Blast), and people don't seem to like it.

I can bet you though that most of these complainers haven't even given Donkey Konga or Jungle Beat a chance. It's decent fun if you ask me. I would like Donkey Kong to go back to his roots though, it just isn't quite the same.

He can go into space if he wants. I'm down with that.

Not entirely related but I can't believe nintendo let rare be bought by microsoft....

Banjo Tooie was such an amazing game

Let me lay it out for you. He basically using not one good reason as to why DK64 sucks or why Rare try to kill this franchise. Neither statments make a drop of sense. Without Rare we would not have all the Donkey Kong Country Games and DK64 at that. All of these games INCLUDING DK64 got critical acclaim and huge financial success. DK Country had more diverse environments than DK 64 but they were all really great. Not to mention that Rare is doing all of this. I am not saying Donkey Konga games arent good, they are pretty fun actually but its merely using a well known franchise to fill the appearant gap in quality.

If they wanna do rythm based games use miis or at the time start a new franchise. For some reason Nintendo wont take this franchise in house like Zelda and Mario. DK Wii (theory) could be awsome if it was given the attention that Mario gets. DK Wii would just have to branch out of the platformer a little bit and probably have more emphasis on boss battles. I think DK could be very fun if it had a more complex level design thats main goal is to get to a boss. DK64 had too much collecting and that can be toned down if they would just make a another one for us.

I dont want to see dK go down in history as a product of side games and spin offs. He used to be a flagship title now most people only know him through SSB. We all know Nintendo could blow us away with a different styled platformer with DK as its main ape.

Its not just for the sake of creativity. DK had much more diverse environments in DK Country series. He would go to factories, swamps, snowing areas. Very little of that was seen in DK64 and my only other gripe with that game is that there was TOOO much ti collect. Other than that DK64 was amazing and just because it was not a 2d sidescroller does not mean its not DK.

I love the Donkey Kong Country series, and I hated Donkey Kong 64.

Donkey Kong Country 4? Yes please.
