We have recently been peppered with some gimmicky spin-offs about the furry ape. Still, I think the old platformers (DKC) and even the marginally recent one (DK 64) were just better fits overall. Now, I know that good ol' Rareware was behind the D.K. platformers but why couldn't Nintendo try to do one of their own. Their legacy of quality would insure that the new game would be appropriately created. Maybe I'm just daydreaming but hey, isn't anyone agreeing with me?

Yes, I still have the 3 Donkey Kong games for my SNES. Personally, I'm getting tired of the Konga games. I enjoyed Jungle Beat for GC because it remind me of the good times. It is time the old platforms to return.

I know there are plenty of good games coming out but it's been so long since we had a D.K. platformer...

For anyone who hasn't tried the DKC series or DK64, I strongly recommend you do so on the Wii virtual console when it comes out...

Donkey Kong 64 had amazing graphics and was so much fun to play especially the theme song kicked ass beyon any other sog at the time. Donkey Kong country which i played a couple of days ago was also sweet and so much fun t play and as i mentioned earlier the bonus game with the ostrich was crazy funÂ
