I think it would be hilarious if Cranky Kong is announced for Smash in some form soon.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this better be an MK8 Demo

fuk Cranky dat old fuk

 

[LegendofLex]

The sad thing is that DKCR2 will probably be one of the best Wii U games.

From what I played at E3, I'm not quite convinced it's going to live up to what DKCR already delivered.

But, the even sadder thing is that it will still be one of the best Wii U games.

(And I'm a pretty big fan of 3D World and Pikmin 3)

 

[Gsnap]

The resignation in this thread is hilarious.

Keep the hope alive.

Smash Bros. Reggie vs. Geoff

 

[jmizzal]

any sane person knew it wasnt gonna be Zelda a long time ago

previously announced could still be anything from X, Bayo 2, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, SMTxFE, or Wii Sports Club Golf

 

[ShockingAlberto]

How hilarious would it be if it turns out to be Wii Fit U. I think I would die from laughter.

The game that's already out? That would certainly be strange.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Smash is the best fit of any of Nintendo's franchises honestly. Yes, even better then Zelda.

Smash is pretty popular in college dorms. That's my pick. New smash info. They'd be silly to show Cranky off at Spike, though it's Nintendo so you never know.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Nintendo is so stupid. Why they just don't say which game it is, so they won't disappoint people.

Eat your Doritos, then get on the Wii Fit U to burn those calories!

Retail isn't out yet though

Demo by Doritos king.

Nintendo wasn't going to send Reggie to an internet livestream to unveil Zelda.

But what if it is a Zelda x DK minigame in Tropical Freeze where Link and Cranky must take on King K. Rool to recover rupees and fresh fruit?

 

[noal]

Cranky is starring in Stuntrace FX U with his special vehicle. A zimmer frame. 12 fps. Day one.

 

[Not]

Yes, but it's Donkey Kong.

It has Dave Wise, which automatically makes it a million times better than DKCR.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Nintendo is so stupid. Why they just don't say which game it is, so they won't disappoint people.

I think they're really so disconnected that they believe people will get hyped for a Cranky reveal.

Won't be X its too niche. SMTxFE just lol. Fuck Wii sports Club.

Smash it is.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I think it would be hilarious if Cranky Kong is announced for Smash in some form soon.

Hilarious and awesome, you mean.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Retail isn't out yet though

This makes it less strange?

 

[SuperSah]

I think they're really so disconnected that they believe people will get hyped for a Cranky reveal.

Haha, so true.

 

[Linkhero1]

This makes it less strange?

Makes it more hilarious.

 

[TunaLover]

Nintendo shouldn't bother with this event really, showing a FUCKING Cranky Kong character will be uselss.

 

[Codeblue]

Nintendo is so stupid. Why they don't say which game it is, so they won't disappoint people.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of advertising.

 

[Tesseract]

it's a wave race mmo

 

[Riki]

Nintendo keeping Donkey Kong a secret is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We've known about the game for a long time and you've shown it so often.
Why be coy about this?

 

[LegendofLex]

It has Dave Wise, which automatically makes it a million times better than DKCR.

Well, the soundtrack will be.

But I could just as well hack DKCR with DKCTF tracks.

Somebody needs to watch more Nintendo Direct.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

are you telling me you're not hyped for cranky kong

what kind of fuckin monster are you

 

[Linkhero1]

Because Cranky reveal is the next big thing ya know.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Well, the soundtrack will be.

But I could just as well hack DKCR with DKCTF tracks.

Yeah, what's the point of any new games

We could just put all their individual good parts in to Spelunky

 

[Rich!]

Well, the soundtrack will be.

But I could just as well hack DKCR with DKCTF tracks.

But even then, you have shitty controls without the CC patch.

DKC2 is still the best.

 

[Visualante2]

Reggie: It's not the same trailer! It's not the same announcement!

If it's Cranky, at least we can get it out of the way now and stop them from wasting space in future Nintendo Directs...
...unless they pull off a Pikmin 3. Fuck.

You make it sound like time on Nintendo Direct is a finite resource. Nintendo could have a dozen directs a year, however long they wanted if they had enough content to show.

I dunno, content maybe?

 

[73V3N]

I would feel better if it was "previously announced gameS"

 

[Not]

I think they're really so disconnected that they believe people will get hyped for a Cranky reveal.

To be fair there was moderate hype, right after the leak. That's the way you reveal this kind of info. But building up insane video game award show hype for this news is obtuse.

 

[schuelma]

People expressing shock that Nintendo is most likely showing off Donkey Kong- what on Earth has Nintendo done the last 3-4 years to make you think they have the first clue on how to market their software in an avenue like this?

Nintendo logic: Donkey Kong is a big IP+next big release= hey let's show it off at an event.

 

[Tookay]

it's a wave race mmo

Down.

 

[jmizzal]

We haven't seen it "so many times" E3, gamespot and that's it.

Gametrailers just had a full show about DKCTF on Spike tv last month showing off new levels and moves, so yea we just saw it.

 

[Mango The Magician]

Is it too much to hope for a ND date out of this?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I dunno, content maybe?

Yeah they should really put content in to DKCTF.

Just shipping with music tracks seems risky from a business point of view.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Disappointment or not tonight is going to be a very fun time on GAF.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

are you telling me you're not hyped for cranky kong

what kind of fuckin monster are you

By "people" I of course meant heathens! Only those heathens will not get hyped!

WE ONLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT VIDEOGAMES NOT HEARING ABOUT THEM

Yup. Gotta remind people Donkey Kong is on his way.

 

[Linkin Park]

Smash Bros w/ Release Date is the best I'm hoping for.

It could be a WiiU 2014 lineup, a run down of clips for the whole year:

DK Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart
Smash Bros
Bayonetta 2
X
Yoshi Yarn

It's not anything new.

Shit, it might be X's official naming/reveal...who knows.

They would reveal Mario Kart 8's release date before they revealed Smash Bros. I would think.

 

[Sandfox]

To be fair there was moderate hype, right after the leak. That's the way you reveal this kind of info. But building up insane video game award show hype for this news is obtuse.

All Reggie/Nintnedo did is the original announcement that Reggie might be there and the recent tweet that they are showing off an already announced game.

 

[Wiz]

Disappointment or not tonight is going to be a very fun time on GAF.

Yeah, cause it'll most likely be down the entire time

 

[TunaLover]

Is it too much to hope for ND date out of this?

Yes, too much

 

[Mango The Magician]

Yes, too much

Well...damn.

 

[cacildo]

they will
they will pull off a Pikmin3

 

[Elfforkusu]

It'll be Zelda or Smash. Probably Smash.
