This game looks pretty fun judging from the videos. Could be the first good Donkey Kong Country game, though, still probably fall short of Jungle Beat.
don't be mad that you lack the arm strength to use the gamecube bongos
Jungle Beat's crap, so Retro shouldn't have that much difficulty in surpassing it.

You fail to mention even then they gave the game an 8 and that it is better than new super mario brothers wii and a toss up between kirby's epic yarn.
Too hard because of good challenge or because of shitty waggle fucking up jumps?
The answer will determine if the game rocks or sucks.
Somewhere between 1996 and 2010, Diddy got himself a cool jetpack, which comes with a very handy hover-jump. Many of the game's most challenging areas are designed with this ability in mind... which means if you've lost Diddy (take two hits, and it's back to the barrel for him), things tend to get a lot harder. Never impossible, mind you, but it damn sure feels that way sometimes.
But if I take offense to anything, it's the hellish levels that saddle you in an airborne barrel-ship, forcing you to exercise measured button-presses in order to control your elevation and flight angle as nonstop obstacles bombard you... all resulting in one-hit kills.
You see, in his quest to rid his home island of weird tiki invaders (whose hypnotic powers have turned the wildlife feral), Donkey Kong enlists the help of constant series sidekick Diddy Kong, who -- after being liberated from a suspiciously marked barrel -- dutifully rides on the king of Kong's back. Somewhere between 1996 and 2010, Diddy got himself a cool jetpack, which comes with a very handy hover-jump. Many of the game's most challenging areas are designed with this ability in mind... which means if you've lost Diddy (take two hits, and it's back to the barrel for him), things tend to get a lot harder. Never impossible, mind you, but it damn sure feels that way sometimes. It gets even worse when you play co-op with a friend, as whoever takes Donkey Kong is effectively handicapping themselves in what amounts to the game's hard mode.
I'll be honest: I Super Guided eight of the game's 62 main levels (die 10 times, and a CPU-controlled stand-in will optionally finish the problem area for you, similar to New SMB Wii). A few amounted to oh-no-I've-lost-Diddy-related challenges, while others were straight-up reflex assaults, in the form of the series' time-honored mine cart rides. But if I take offense to anything, it's the hellish levels that saddle you in an airborne barrel-ship, forcing you to exercise measured button-presses in order to control your elevation and flight angle as nonstop obstacles bombard you... all resulting in one-hit kills. And while DKC Returns features a typically forgiving checkpoint system, it gets pretty stingy at the most inopportune times. Yeah, it's always quite satisfying to polish off a particularly tough level, but boy, does this game make you earn it in some pretty crazy ways that border on mind-numbing frustration.
Hated this game back in 1996
[youtube=560,345]63t6VdvZ-QA[/youtube]
what the fuck is that youtube :rofl
"Gaming in the Clinton Years" is a series of short video game reviews from the latter half of the 90s'. The reviews often contains huge errors concerning the games reviewed, commentary that ranges from cringeworthy to so-bad-it's-good quality and pointless stuff added in to pad out the review (sometimes even the ending of the game). They were narrated by Geroge Wood. The videos became popular after Retsupurae made comedic commentaries over several of the GitCY videos, and the videos became something of a meme.
Did this ever air on TV?
The most common reactions to people when first watching the reviews are "WTF?", "Ha ha, Retsupurae", and "Breast cancer?". Another common reaction is "Did this shit ever air on TV?" And the truth is, yes it did. There are no definite sources on the internet, but several comments on the videos and on various forums says that the reviews were made as segments for a TV show called Flights of Fantasy, and it was broadcast on a public access channel in Maryland, USA. This seems plausible, as a "Flights of Fantasy" logo appears at the end of every video, and the name is even mentioned at the end of one of the videos.

This is a first party nintendo game. They don't drop prices, just discontinue it.
guys i noticed this donkey kong discussion doesn't include mention of donkey kong 64
I might pick this up. I bought but never played Metroid because everyone said it sucked, I skipped Kirby because it looked baby, skipped Sonic because duh it's Sonic, skipping Epic Mickey because I have KH and don't need this lame disney stuff, but this looks genuinely fun. Plus I like Retro even if each Prime game had a bunch of problems.
Also it may sound weird logic, but I don't mind buying 1st/2nd party Wii titles because I'm not saying anything with my money when I do. I don't buy 3rd party Wii titles because I want them to all bomb so they don't make 3rd party games on Wii, but since 1st/2nd party titles aren't going anywhere else I'm ok with supporting them.
Speaking of Metroid, I just booted up my Prime Trilogy and cannot fucking play FPS with nunchuks. I thought it was bad on consoles, but Wii nunchuks for FPS is so fucking awful it makes me want to choke a baby. What the fuck. Not even the OPTION to use the classic controller.

awww did I piss you off. Edge(british mag) gave the game a 7 and said it was more of the same (built on the snes game), but now when retro is making it is suddenly amazing ::) Remember how overrated Corruption was.

DKC was cool as a kid for awhile, but even then it wasn't hard to realize it was just a meh game with great visuals/music
Wow, Flights Of Fantasy really had no clue that some games were made for MULTIPLAYER. Fighting games, Goldeneye, even NBA JAM all got the same comments. :lolDKC was cool as a kid for awhile, but even then it wasn't hard to realize it was just a meh game with great visuals/music
I got bored of DKC pretty quickly as well...like a week after release. Never felt that the game play had much going for it-- it was clearly popular because of its graphics.
Donkey Kong '94 on the Gameboy was so much better. That was an amazing game, but nobody cared. I couldn't get any of my friends to try it.

Savaged. SantaC caught up in yet another failed troll effort.
good god this is horrible
good god this is horrible
i never played 2 or 3, and it is better than the first dkc, which was wretched. this is slightly less than wretched. this is charmless, perfunctory platforming of the most early 16-bit variety
Get retro on Zelda pls
So I looked up "perfunctory". I don't see how this game is perfunctory as far as platformers go. There's a huge attention to detail and care paid to the animations and environments. Were you expecting some gimmick?
It's okay... after seeing the O in the very first level hovering above a death gap I knew it was only going to get worse from here. So I went back to Arc Rise Fantasia while I had my Wii on instead. Diddy's jetpack is 5 degrees of useless.
The game doesnt tell you anything either. I had no idea you could ground pound the yellow pods, among other things. At least you can throw away the nunchuk. Waggle is of course, unnecessary and tacked on. Would have been just fine with regular Gamecube pad.
The bigger question is what isn't?
This might be the best 2d platformer this gen.Super Meat Boy
This might be the best 2d platformer this gen. It toally annihilates NSMBwii.

You didn't play a game for a year?
I didn't say it was impossible. Just shocked.
Seriously though, this game is sick. I just beat the second world, and the Tidal Wave level...omg
You didn't play a game for a year?
Overrated because they're not on PSN I assume. You can at least properly abbreviate the title of the game that you're praising. :smugThis might be the best 2d platformer this gen.Super Meat Boy

Overrated games. Especially Super Meh Boy.

Too colorful and kiddy, missing the moody theme from RARE.Junpei worked on this?
7/10 Good effort for a copy pasta.
Having Retro do a real Zelda (2D or 3D) is one of the worst ideas ever. I have my issues with Aonuma, but I trust him waaaaay more with Zelda than Retro. None of Nintendo's top-tier games should be sent to other developers. Even if they happen to be within Nintendo.
Now if Retro wants to do Starfox, or Kid Icarus? Who cares.

Got a ps2 during the great gamecube drought of 04-06. Disagaea was stupid grindy bullshit, gta was meandering and directionless with a terrible sense of humor, capcom fighting games are convoluted for no good reason, Ico was cool, Splinter Cell was trial and error and not fun, Katamari Damacy was the bees knees, every single square enix game sucked, Kingdom Hearts the most, Okami is bad and anyone who recommends it is bad. I have no problem putting Metroid Prime above a sizable portion of the ps2 library.

Have you played DKC1 recently? It ages terribly. Returns is a decent platformer, waggle nonsense aside, but I don't how anyone can prefer DKC1/2/3 over this.

I dont know how anyone can prefer this over DKC. They are the same games.
You go left, to right, and you bip and bop enemies.

sounds like every platformer ever
also, the cart stages and rocket stages suck. Otherwise, it seems pretty alright. I'll try kirby next.
stages based around barrels suck too, and those aren't even cheap flash game mechanics! (they could be)
and I messed around with this on dolphin and mapping waggle to a single button makes the game considerably better. Nintendo is definitely trying to sabotage motion gaming by showing how bad it can be. It's a shame that the game doesn't run at perfect speed for me, which matters even though it does look much, much better.
I'm only at world 3, but there's nothing I've encountered so far that would be classified as muscle memory or trial and error. There was this time in the first minecart level that I didn't realize the spiky thorn ceiling was on the same plane of play of me, but thats about it.

Wait til some of the K stages, part of level 4, and a few later levels :P
I picked it up, but I kind of dont want to touch it until I finish Soul Hackers. I played maybe 1 level of the Wii version when I ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED it
I'm not going to lie, this game is kicking my ass right now.
is this game ACTUALLY good or is it being graded on the Nintendo Curve?
