These games were pure perfection back then, the style, the graphics, the music? I mean come on now the game STILL looks good. I hope on the Wii they clean it up a bit around the edges. Agreed Disagreed WHAT ?!

we will not speak of DKC3.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 24, 2006, 11:51:37 AM: It was awesome game when I was like 10. I still like it, but in the end Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World have stood the test of time.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 24, 2006, 12:12:47 PM: I think Donkey Kong Country 2 gave Rare the bad idea that all their platformers should involve collecting stuff, though.

The Beginning of the end, yes.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 24, 2006, 12:31:51 PM: But it worked so well in DKC2!

DKC3 was an abortion, though.

QFT, though I don't think the original DKC was mediocre. But Yoshi's Island did take a steaming dump all over it. YI is one of the best games ever.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 24, 2006, 03:04:55 PM: I gotta go with SMW and Yoshi's Island. DKC was great too though. Haven't played the sequels.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 24, 2006, 07:26:22 PM: I've heard that Miyamoto was rather jealous of DKC's success, and that fueled his work on Mario 64.

Post by: Error Macro on August 25, 2006, 01:10:39 PM: Super Mario World was probably tops for me in terms of pure platforming, but I loved Donkey Kong Country. Mind-blowing graphics, awesome music, totally atmospheric all around. I hooked up my SNES not too long ago, and had a blast playing it again. Still looks good! A shame I never got DKC2. On eBay they want crazy money for those cartridges usually.

Post by: Christopher on August 28, 2006, 12:09:03 AM: I totally jerked off to DKC2 today...that game is seriously fucking amazing, the difficulty, the concept, the levels ...good good shit.

Sorry fruity Yoshi takes a backseat to this.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 28, 2006, 02:38:47 AM: DKC 2 is pretty fantastic. It's a great balance and has a lot of charm. I wish Rare had this talent still.
