What I heard was that those kings never came back to other titles was because they were created by Rareware employees, therefore making them “spin off” characters in a Nintendo owned franchise. So once Nintendo sold their share in Rare they also gave the rights to those characters away since Rareware was a 2nd party Nintendo development company.

It wouldn't even be much of an issue if you could just swap characters on the fly, but so much of this game is just running into a collectible you cannot collect or a switch you cannot press as your current character, backtracking to the Kong barrel to switch to the character you need, and then backtracking AGAIN to the first spot. It's just not fun. And so many of the Kong's abilities are superfluous and make the game unnecessarily convoluted, because all they amount to in the end is another version of pressing a character-specific switch to progress.

As a major Hip Hop head I personally think the DK Rap is incredible. The subtle switch up on the production for every Kong & their personality shining through for each of their verses is great. It definitely harkens back to classic 80's Run DMC/Beastie Boys style of Rap, which brings the cheese factor in full effect [especially if you are younger and listening to it for the first time in the 2000's] but that's part of it's charm!

The only times you would really need to back track to a previous level is after you get all the kongs (around the 3rd level so you only need to go back to two levels) and for like one golden banana that requires a ability from the level after it. If you focus on doing one kong at a time and only switch when you need to for opening a path for a different kong or when you got everything for that kong it's not nearly as bad as he makes it sound

Man I love this game to pieces growing up. As I got older it saddened me to see how much people seemed to dislike it. I always got so much enjoyment how large the worlds were at the time and the collectathon method just made me explore every nook and cranny of the worlds so the collectables were never too much for me. I also loved having to play as five different kongs each with their own abilities and power ups (though why make Tiny and not bring Dixie in for the game?). The bosses are also a lot of fun. The mine-kart sections and barrel blast sections with DK are also so much fun. I also like how you don't have to worry about drowning in the water in this game; say what you will but I think I would have hated Gloomy Galleon if I had to worry about air. My only gripe about the game is the need for those Rareware and Nintendo coins to get the final key to get to the final boss. I could gt the Rareware just fine but I always struggled with the original DK arcade game. I replayed the game in 2009, 10 years after the release of the game, and I was finally able to beat it to get that Nintendo coin and beat the game.

I think the reason why collecting is so great in this world is because the attention to detail in literally ever single aspect which you just can't get enough of.

And then what I like most is the challenging aspects of the game, because you just know which things are hard and if you beat them you feel great.

Hearing that overworld music conjures a lot of nostalgia. Don't think I ever made it past 70% completion, or even beat the final boss. But kids are kids. Thanks for your hard work Gerard. Have a banana. They have a lot of potassium for energy.

One of my favorite games ever. When I was a kid I could only play video games when my brothers friends brought his N64 over. When they played DK64 we would do the Monkey Smash 4player. It was so much fun and a lot of great memories with this game. The music is amazing of course. Aghhh I love this game. Thanks for the new review.

DK64 is still the best donkey Kong game for me, I’m still hoping for another 3D adventure

I picked this game up for the hell of it years and years ago, didn’t quite get into it, and then heard that it was pretty widely disliked. So it’s been collecting dust ever since. But now after seeing this new perspective, I think I’m actually gonna restart it. Thanks Jirard!

I am currently in the process of recompleting DK64 myself and I absolutely agree with you. The charme and personality of this game are to this day through the roof but completing it, or honestly even playing it, is getting tiresome at some point. I still love it because like you I honestly worshiped this game as a kid but I can still acknowledge its flaws.

Most people would call it Heresy, but I actually enjoyed DK 64 far more than Super Mario 64. Just... SO. MUCH. CHARACTER. The fact that we never again had a 3D DK along these lines is a travesty that truly needs to be fixed with the Switch, as it would be a great console to bring it back on.

The only thing that has ever prevented me from entirely completing this game is the Beaver Bother bonus game. -__-
@Morgil273 жыл бұрын
The bonus ending wasn't auditions for this game; it was an audition for a non-existant GameCube sequel. If you look closely, the sign has the word "auditions" plastered over a picture of a dolphin, and Dolphin was the in-development code name for the GameCube.

Good to see their is someone who loves this game as much as I do. This is my favorite game of all time. It was just so ahead of it's time when it first came out, and it's the only game that I hope Nintendo would remaster one day.

I played this game when I was a kid and again when it was released on the Virtual Console, and never once did I think there was too many collectables in both times I played it to completion. I collected everything and loved every second of doing it.

I'm glad that you took the time to yell at us, but had the foresight to make a reference out of it with the DK "OK!". Very nice Jirard.
