Great way to start the new page. :lol

 

[Maffis]

Sucks about the European release date. I want it now :/

 

[Joei]

This game looks really fun. I'm kind of torn between this and Epic Mickey. I don't really have time to play either game at the moment (doing my backlog with Alan Wake and Metroid when I do have time) but I have a 20$ credit through Amazon that I have to use before the end of the month.

 

[Garryk]

This is probably my most anticipated Wii game...ever.

 

[HeySeuss]

Agreed.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

I'm so ready

 

[Bisnic]

I'm so ready

Photobucket isn't though. :lol

bloody site!

ok that was the pic

Christmas day.

 

[Why would you do that?]

All these years, I thought it was "take it to the bridge" because of Melee.

So sometimes, when going over a bridge, I go "Take it to the bridge!" but now I know I'm wrong.

I always though it was purposefully a silly pun. Now I'm no music major, but in any song, a bridge is a sort of contrasting musical section I believe? But instead of "bridge", the lyrics say "fridge".

Christmas day.

 

[DisenLedZep]

:O Nice OP!!!
I didn't saw some of those videos, the "World X - Y" ones... I had to convince myself to close them down as I was watching to much of the game...
Can't wait... day 1 purchase = enjoy it a lifetime

I really hope this one has the same effect on me that DKC2 had...

 

[shahkur]

VERY NICE JOB!!! with the OT Tricky I Shadow. A job well done. Now, just gotta wait for the other reviews and of course the RELEASE DATE for pretty much the GOTY.

 

[jdforge]

Can't wait.

Donkey Kong Country Returns, bitches!

Bring it!

Nintendo put out an official trailer for worlds 7 and 8.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sexlrXo1z9c

 

[WillyFive]

Yeah, just saw that trailer on Youtube. Very spoilerful. Didn't think Nintendo would show that far, especially with their habit of only showing the very early parts of the game in a trailer (like with SMG2).

OMG, saw 5 seconds of it and had to close the window :lol

[Kingpen]

so there are 8 worlds in this...

any idea how many stages per world? Would this be comparable to something such as New Super Mario Bros Wii in the amount of different stages?

 

[Seda]

NWR isn't official Nintendo...is it? Just a site devoted to Nintendo.

 

[Prime Blue]

Here's hoping they'll nail Cranky's writing.

 

[The Technomancer]

I never really cared about DKC, so I was kinda meh on this game. The the gameplay videos started pouring in. Good god the gameplay videos.

 

[JimboJones]

They should have put it in a yellow DVD case.

I love Metroid Prime's music.

 

[mjc]

DKC2 is one of my favorite SNES games. Hopefully this one brings some good challenge with it, I liked the tough levels.

 

[Sadist]

Awesome thread.

Getting this for free harharhar, can't wait

 

[pirata]

I am torn between my impulse to never buy games at full price and my intense love of Donkey Kong Country and Retro Studios. You're tearing me apart, Retro!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Nintendo holiday games never officially drop in price, they just go on sale at individual retailers sometimes.

So you should go ahead and buy it!

 

[Hobbun]

As this will be a Nintendo published game, I don’t see the price going down for a long time, if ever.

 

[Kard8p3]

Actually there are

Spoiler

9 worlds. It works like NSMBW where when you beat the game a ninth world is unlocked and you open up levels by getting the collectibles in the levels.

There's anywhere from 6 to 9 stages per world from what I've seen.

Oh god damn it I thought we were finally rid of that faux-choral Casio synth that plagued the Primes all these years. Kenji Yamamoto needs to lose his sequencer in the river and drown going after it.

Real chorus or nothing, thanks.

 

[Ashkeloth]

Oh damn. This actually looks really, really good.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to bust open my wallet again this year after skipping generic sequels such as CoD: BO, Halo: Reach, and Assassins Creed Brotherhood, but this is going to make it really hard. Especially since i recently blew £25 on Sonic Colours and this looks to be a far superior game.

 

[BikoBiko]

December 3rd can't come soon enough.

Spoiler

Fuck you, NoE!

I actually really like the sound of it. Loved it in the prime games and the same for this tune.

 

[Snuggles]

Very nice thread, Shadow. Glad to see you used Chet Rippo's art work.

Can't wait for this one. I haven't played a DK game since the N64 but everything about this game looks excellent. Year of the mothafuckin Wii confirmed.

let's do this

You need to play Jungle Beat.

If friggin HALO could manage it in 2001, and Galaxy now on the Nintendo side, there's no longer an excuse. We aren't trying to cram samples onto DS carts here!

 

[Why For?]

I don't understand why Nintendo wants to wait until December 2nd to take my money from me.

Makes no sense.

Isn't there something appealing to old-style music techniques in a game that's build with old-school in mind?

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Can't believe early previews/reviews are saying this is one of the best platformers they've ever played.

I guess I have to pick it up!

Does anyone know how many levels or worlds this has?

 

[Tathanen]

Sure! I'd never argue orchestrated over midi objectively, but I WILL argue real voices over synthesized ones that are clearly trying to ACHIEVE the sound of a real voice, but failing miserably.

This is what I thought platformers would be like in the future prior to playing Super Mario 64. FUCK. :Q____

Edit: The url alone should let folks know what they're gonna witness, hot video game sex. :lol

 

[oracrest]

The newsstand edition of Nintendo Power with the DK cover comes with a classic NES sticker to put on your sideways Wii remote.

Seems like this will be the last IGN review from Craig Harris as Friday is his last day at IGN.

I agree real voices are better but there's something about the synthesized ones that I've loved since Prime. I just like the sound of it.

Okay, I seriously have absolutely no reason to visit IGN anymore.

Halo's choir is actually one voice duplicated.
