Secret exits unlock different levels.

Oh, I guess I didn't notice because I was expecting a Mario style exit to the level.

I wonder what prompted Retro / Nintendo to give special thanks to Howard Lincoln, the former Chairman of Nintendo of America / Nintendo Co., Ltd. Board member.

 

[MetalGuardian]

I paid this sucker off today at GameStop, and my family is having a party tomorrow night to celebrate... pizza, chips and dip, and of course banana smoothies

I even dug out my old Donkey Kong Country 2 shirt that I got from Nintendo Power back in the 90s!

My dong is so ready to expand

Hopefully not around the family.

Hahahaha! You never know man, when David and Donkey are filling my mind, things can happen down south that I have no control over.

Don't they just thank everybody who was even remotely tangentially involved?

 

[Aquamarine]

Don't they just thank everybody who was even remotely tangentially involved?

Yeah but they didn't thank Mr. Lincoln in the first Donkey Kong Country Returns game. I wonder how he was involved with this sequel.

 

[PadWarrior]

Me neither. Maybe their shipments got delayed. Wait until Monday...

Spoiler

I got a text this afternoon saying it will available for pickup in the morning.

 

[Shinta]

I'm eating a banana cream pie blizzard as we speak.

Secret exits unlock different levels.

Sounds fun!

 

[Snkfanatic]

Amazon shipped my copy, so excited. Should have it Saturday or Monday at the latest.

 

[Bronetta]

Futureshop shipped my copy out.

Tropical Freeze will be my reward for getting through two midterms tomorrow.

 

[braves01]

I'm not going to be able to play DK for about three more weeks....it hurts.

 

[mf luder]

Can you really make cranky chuck his false teeth at enemies?

 

[kcxiv]

I think I'm going to bypass the physical copy of the game and download from E-shop. The heck with waiting til tomorrow evening.

 

[The Main Event]

Futureshop shipped my copy out.

Still nothing here. Starting to get anxious...

Edit: Just got my email notice as I was typing this haha.

 

[hlhbk]

[Frolow]

Midnight EST I believe.

 

[hwy_61]

God fucking damn it.

I forgot that I preordered this from Newegg months ago. My card got charged today.

Welp, I'll be avoiding this thread until next week, thanks to my stupidity and Newegg's slow ass shipping.

Mindy Bannan? Ar har har har har har! Such a fitting name in a game about bananas!

 

[Trevelyan9999]

Midnight EST I believe.

So that does in fact translate to 9pm PST correct? Excite if true.

 

[dkeane]

Wait, I can download this in 2 ½ hours? Sweeeet

 

[emb]

I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.

Actually never mind that, I wish I had any time at all tomorrow to go pick this up.

 

[K' Dash]

2 hours to go, I'll get up early to play the first level and go to work.

 

[Conezays]

1.5 Hours to go. Cleared space on my hard drive.

Hype Train.

 

[daripad]

Ugh, I'm getting the game on Sunday, the wait will be looooong

 

[ShadowElliot]

Gonna head straight to the mall right after my last class at 10am tomorrow!

Hype bus to the mall!

 

[Velcro Fly]

I hope at midnight people will be streaming the game. Don't have a Wii U yet but still really interested.

 

[Uncle00Jesse]

Anyone have a guess on how long this 12 gig download is going to take at midnight? I wanted to get some time in with it, but if its going to take 2 hours + then I may as well get a physical copy tomorrow.

I'm there with you breh. I sold my soul for $5 credit.

 

[Brandon F]

Ahhhh....up to World 9 on DKCR 3DS! Spent the last hour wrapping up the final few collectibles on world 8, which has been brutal. Might actually nab 100% complete before tomorrow.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Whoohoo! Time for platforming bliss.

 

[Shinta]

Whoohoo! Time for platforming bliss.

It begins ...

 

[hwy_61]

I'm there with you breh. I sold my soul for $5 credit.

$5.

$5!!

Jesus Christ we're some cheap bastards.

 

[npa189]

I'm going to go on a retro bender this spring. Buying this tomorrow, got returns on 3DS, and I just bought the prime trilogy this week. Its gonna be good!

 

[Jswanko]

Are a lot of people picking this up digitally? Im tempted since I want to play ASAP and I never really resell.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

I've had £30 eShop Credit sitting on my Wii U since September. Might use it...

 

[jnWake]

Digital for me too. It's so comfortable.

 

[Exile20]

Digital over here then replenish my eshop balance feb 23rd.

Under 1 hr left.

 

[AdanVC]

Seriously, Nintendo has been doing pretty awesome box art for their games lately (except Nintendo Land haha) That's why I continue choosing retail over digital. My favorites covers so far: Pikmin 3, TW101, Super Mario 3D World and DKCTF. All of them are so detailed and very eye-catching.

 

[epmode]

Are a lot of people picking this up digitally?

If this was on Steam, GOG, PSN or Live, I'd go with digital. Since it's Nintendo, I have to wait for Amazon.

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

digital for me out of convenience

 

[Out of Working Order]

If digital was quite a bit cheaper, I'd definately go for that option. As it stands, I'd rather have a boxed copy.

 

[plutoknight]

I get a discount on retail that I don't get on digital (thanks to family who works in retail), so I'm going that route.

Plus I'd hate to not have that box art on my shelf.

 

[Conezays]

So is it up at 9 or sooner/later?
