Donkey Kong Bananza's japanese commercials

Game looks so good

beautiful happy endings GIF
 
Really? I think I'll need to rewatch it because I feel like Raymond:

Because the song that used to be the classic DK and they did it with vocals... We used to have the habit of DK and over time it has evolved from pixels to what it is today.


for this part

Nothing new. The more I think about it the more the timeline of Pauline makes no sense

They probably want to change it. Instead of DK being another Bowser type he is now a good guy. Unless it was Cranky Kong that kidnapped Pauline who know. 🤷‍♂️ Nintendo lore is hard. :messenger_grinning_smiling:

It was cranky, Dk today is DK jr from the 80s. Also Child Pauline with DK seems like a whole retcon.
 
Holy

I already freaked out at this during the direct, but once again, I love how they chose a bird that doesn't fly for the flight transformation, damn it's so dumb I can't stop laughing every time I see it, god bless you nintendo lmao

I love them for this kind of nonsense, no logic, is it fun? approved

Zebra walks over water, make it make sense :messenger_tears_of_joy:

There's 2 more transformation they've hidden from the skill list, likely one for swimming underwater. I doubt it'll make any more sense.
 
I wonder, was Japan ever big on DK? Always saw it more as a western franchise with Rare and then Retro handling it.
Some shipment figures for Japan:

SNES
DKC - 3 million
DKC - 2.21 million
DKC - 1.17 million

N64

DK64 - 1.10 million

Wii

DKC Returns - 1 million
 
Taking its one of the first games in a very long time to allow total terrain destruction (nice that you can use environmental elements to achieve this as well), I'm all in. Giving my Red Faction vibes, but some of the level maps show they've designed the levels in way to prevent breaking the game or having huge performance hits. Which im fine with this over open-world total destruction
 
This gorilla in a tie is making me a little emotional. I'm getting a sense that because of these commercials this game is going to appeal to an audience that's beyond the average Nintendo or DK fan. Who these people are? I'm not entirely sure as Nintendo's audiences are pretty diverse. Maybe pure Sony fans?
 
Donkey Kong was created in Japan
Literally miyamotos first big game. lol

I know but I mean the sales of all following games, it switched to western studios, no idea if they jumped on it. Looking at sales someone put in the thread, no major success I would say.

DK's transformations are so ugly. A lot of the artwork around the character designs are so garish. It does look like a lot of fun though.

I personally LOOOOOVE the artstyle here and I love transformation designs they look weird as fuck but in the best way possible.

It has the same unpleasant art style as SM Odyssey since it's from the same team

But that is how this team likes to do the art so we're stuck. I enjoyed Odyssey in spite of the sheer ugliness of it's art and character design and I'm sure I'll enjoy Bananza too
