Holy crap. Looks so difficult. And LOL at the music by Yamamoto: it's like Magmoor's caverns.

A lot of the same sounds and instruments as Norfair/Magmoor, but its a completley different tune. Really nice.

Can not wait~! Again, I lament the loss of the Kremlings, but everything else looks so BONESUCKING GOOD, I'm willing to look past that. :lol

I don't even wanna play as Diddy.

He's just so tiny.

But you know, the reason for this might be that Diddy doesn't moves that are essential to 100%'ing the game. Maybe the blowing or or the ground pound. That's kinda understandable.

Well I’m not really sure what the reason behind it is, but I do know that Diddy can do everything that Donkey Kong can, so I highly doubt that it’s the fact that Diddy can’t 100% the game.

I hope the game keeps the DKC tradition of putting an exclamation point after the level name once you've found everything in it.

Huh. I was replaying DKC a while back and wondered why that was.

I kinda liked how they did that in DKC3

The flag is waving when you have all the Bonus coins and an extra yellow flag is added if you get the DK Coin from Koin.

So could this game top the Galaxy games as best platformer?

I'm really curious to see how this turns out.

I still don't like how the banana bunches look in-game, but I'm sure I'll enjoy everything else. DKC 1 and 3 were some of my most played games growing up (had to go to a friend's house to play 2... grr), so the nostalgia overload come Monday will be glorious.

After seeing the latest trailers, I'm getting a bit worried about difficulty (some parts look really hard). Of course, I don't want the game to be easy, but something around the SNES DKC levels. I hope it won't end up being too frustating.

Edit: Ahh sh** I forgot about Super Kong :lol

Nintendo made Retro tone down the fast pace difficulty of some of the levels. So...

...I really have no idea where I'm going with this.

I never thought I was going to hear something like that about a Nintendo game ever again ^^

I'm itching for something serious after Kirby. I'll take it.

I think that it'll be significantly easier without getting the collectibles, though, similarly to NSMB Wii.

Seriously, the tag for this OT should've been one of the easiest to come up with in the history of OT's considering what you mentioned, and some how the mark was missed. A little disappointing.

But can't you see Retro has done it again?!

Just read the GI review, wow, they called the one of the greatest plat formers ever!

Day 1 here!

With this and GT5 this could be the greatest November ever?

Holy fuck I've seen far too much

I don't care as much about spoilers these days, but I should probably restrain myself. It all just looks so incredibly fun.

I'm sorta considering buying a Wii for this. But I haven't got enough incentive. If only they'd announce Pikmin 3... that'd confirm the purchase... but right now it could still go to the 3DS, no?

Miyamoto said at the E3 2010 that it was still on track for the Wii. Maybe it will shift to the 3DS, but I doubt it.

how could you almost forget about Zelda

Wii is definitely worthy of a purchase by any non-homeless gamer at this point, there are a whole lotta great games to play
