Which way, monkey man?
left looks more like an animalright looks like there is sentience
Battletoads DK.
It was that simple.
>>731081840Garbage on the right
>>731081840Old one reminds me of Epstein. Same satisfied look
>>731081716I'm still angry that the artist for the original design instantly folded and said the new design is better. Rare employees showing their bullied side; they should stand up for themselves more. People loved their games, and it's readily apparent that they did, despite what that dictator Miyamoto claimed.
>>731081975Nah Rare was a weird cult, most people see that their games sucked ass now. Probably just a lot of Brits sucking off their local dev
>>731081975You're never going to hear an honest public opinion from someone who wants to keep their job in the industry.
>>731081840I don't know why the new one reminds me of homer simpson, he even makes similar noises in bananza
>>731081975Creators are rarely fanboys.
>>731082097that's probably the mood they're going forsmash bros really leaned into animal mode for characters like dk and bowserfor dk it's probably his most well known persona outside of the new game
NEW BADOLD GOOD
Miyamoto Kong is a completely different, inferior character to the Kong that defined a generation.
The real answer is no one cares about donkey kong
Rareware Kong all the way baby
>>731081716Rare chuds need to get over it, nintendo is in charge now and they always know best.
>>731082097
>>731081716The new design is a million times better and I'm so happy they're sticking with it instead of being wishy-washy live how the Kirby series handles Dedede's design.
>>731082386I do
>>731082385lot of emotion in those pixels, unc
>>731082385I can hear this image
>>731082493I agree. I like that he’s appearing with this new look in the Mario games too.

>>731081716They removed all of DKs childlike soul.
They make DK woke
>>731082493retarded newgen take
>>731081716Nu-DK is a paid actor. Rareware DK met a tragic and unexpected end.
>>731081716The right one is so gay
>>731083325If not being so blinded by nostalgia that I can acknowledge an objective improvement in a character design makes me a "newgen", then sure.
>>731081840I find his new design more expressive, and there should had been no reason to change his brow for it not to work.
>>731082480>If you don't sit down I'm going to make an annoying noise! Arou-rou-rou-rou-rou!!!!
>>731083502the battletoads brow looks fucking stupid and they were right to fix it
>>731082385https://youtu.be/O_ldIU6qkko?si=NFskAvzf8J80TR7l&t=150The final sequence is still charming.
>>731081716>shitty-ass Beano kong vs the fucking OG Japanese Donkey Kong
>>731081716I don't care what he looks like I just want him to say "OKAY!"
>>731083663If bananza had never come out you wouldn't even know what miyamoto's inferior original design looked like. This is pure meat riding, before the design change none of you niggas were going around saying>hmm yeah, the the iconic Rare design that stuck for decades was actually always shitty and I definitely always disliked it
Rare sucked and its memory deserves to be buried
>>731081716Nu-kong is viscerally offputting for some reason
I wouldn't mind the redesign but they way they animate him like a grubhub ad in bonanza is repulsive
>>731081840It's a combination of things. Donkey Kong being without proper direction after Rare's departure made Nintendo rethink things. The previous design might work, but it's clear they wanted to change it (although it still looks more like Bayliss's than the arcade version).
>>731084203He doesn't look remotely like the Grubhub ad and if you think he does you legitimately do not remember what that ad looks like.
>>731084517He just needed to use buzzwords
>>731081716>>731084517The way he is in Bananza makes the design look stupid. He doesn't need to have his tongue out constantly. He's an ape not a dog.
>>731083149cant believe thats real
>>731084726>constantlyIt's literally only when you stand next to a Banandium gem. I swear you people haven't even played the game you're talking about.
none of the above i want the original rare DK
>>731084217I'd argue that Rare Dk could've been as expressive as current DK, but it's obvious the Japanese team didn't like the design and were looking for any excuse to change it
>>731084856>ugly ass hands>terrible stick limbs with dogshit geometry that breaks when they have to bend itHow anyone has nostalgia for this design is beyond me. It's fucking terrible.
>>731081716god the new design is so shit
>>731081840Nah, the ugly ass fur texture bothers me way more.
>>731084984It doesn't look like a gay furry version of Seth Rogen, for one.
>>731083548One issue with the old brow, it always had that hang that sorta looks like a mouth smile. DK's face kinda looked zoned out, almost creepy. I like how in the DKC series, they made his brow open back, so the smile shape is gone.
>>731085281Bananza DK doesn't look any more or less gay/furry than Rare DK, and he certainly doesn't look like Seth Rogan.
>>731085325You're a faggot in denial, or a shill.
We need to talk about the real sin that was committed.
>>731085431Seek therapy.
>>731085578I accept your concession.
>>731085568It honestly would have been fine if they had made it fur, but yeah, this is the actual bad redesign. It looks so fucking weird.
>>731081716left is iconicright looks like a bootleg cereal mascot
>>731085623You've been posting the same retarded cherrypicked images with randomized filenames for over a year. Get a grip.
>>731085717>reee, stop using 4chan X so i can play internet detectiveKill yourself.
>>731082493Wow, there are people still coping with the AIDS kong design? It's been out for like, over a year now. Get a grip. Bananza fucking sucked and nintendo is deader than shit.
>>731085790If your posting is so abhorrent that people can look in the archive and see you spamming the same image over and over and over without contributing any intelligent or meaningful discussion to the board, you're the problem.
>>731084895That's just West vs East autism in general. One side does something better, the other gets their ego involved and has a hissy fit about it.>>731085291This cartoon was shit, but it had the best DK design overall. Like you said, it improves a flaw of the Rare design but keeps the original spirit intact. Not whatever the fuck they're doing with Rogen Kong.
>>731083149>>731084761It's supposed to look like a slushy you retarded faggots
rarefags have no fucking games so they have to obsess over DK's design to have an eccuse to talk about rare in the modern age, kek
>>731085861I didn't make that image, I'm not the only one posting it, and you're setting up a boogeyman in your head. Get mental help.
>>731081716Finally, a non-threatening black man
>>731085929Wokie Slushie
>>731082493King Dedede's design changing all the time is HAL intentionally being wishy-washy because they change Dedede's design to fit the essence of the games he's in, whatever that means
>>731081716Left
>>731082093This, Bayliss wants a job and he'll throw all this shit under the bus to do so. Diddy was a timeless design as was DK and it's clear that some faggot from Illumination or whatever western artist they had doing concept art was itching to 'fix' those designs. People who create shit like pic related now have an actual position in Nintendo and companies who work with Nintendo. They won.
right because it causes massive asshurt
>>731081716They should have just made Nu DK a new character. Is there a single reason they need to puppeteer his corpse like this?
>>731087176(((The long march through the institutions)))
>>731081975>say new one looks like shit>get fucking blacklisted from working on any game ever again with Nintendo>stuck working shitty jobs riding off coattails "I USED TO WORK ON DONKEY KONG YOU KNOW?" like back 4 blood faggots
>>731081840You've humbled him too much by using a disingenuous render, this is what he actually looks like 90% of the time
>>731085940We have Kameo.
they wholesome chungus'd him
>>731087459rare sisters, we are so back.
>>731085940It's just a better design. I don't give a shit about Rare, DKC are the only good games they've made aside from arguably 007/PD.
>>731087727>rare sisters, we are so back.
>>731081716Left obviously.
They changed his design to not associate him with trannies
>>731081716I don't know why Nu Kong infuriates the ever loving shit out of me but it does.
>>731086738how do they make straight things look so fucking gay
>>731084217
>>731082385He never saw Kochikame but the black coded kongSad existence.
>>731087440>this is what he actually looks like 90% of the timeHe literally ONLY makes the tongue face if you stand next to a Banandium Gem. You are not going to see that face for more than half a second in the majority of gameplay situations unless you deliberately go out of your wally to walk around them instead of collecting them.
>>731088442>turn a corner, there's a banana!>climb a steep incline, there's a banana!>enter a pipe, there's a banana!So he's literally doing it constantly.
He was chill
>mfw when they change my FUARKING HERO Donkey Kong into WOKEY KONG
>>731088772>mildest (((schizophrenic))) episode
>>731088532For half a second before you collect the banana, sure. If you interpret that as "90% of the time" you might be retarded. He also doesn't make the face unless you're next to it and it's visible, and most of the Bananas are either obscured, buried, or far enough away to not trigger the face. In order to see it for more than like two seconds MAX you'd have to deliberate uncover the Banandium Gem and stand around staring at DK like a fucking mong instead of just collecting the goddamn thing and moving on.
>>731088962I mean, you're obviously not going to see his face period if you're actually playing the game, but he's still making it because he's surrounded by Dopamine McGuffins at all times.
>>731081716left has too much of a smug aura. japan won't like itright looks like a bland '60s baseball mascot logo. the eggs for eyes in particular kill it>>731081840lips are too thick on the left
>>731088772Oh my Gryffindor!!!
>>731088337They're such fags that even at a subconscious level, they project homosexuality. It's like how you know if a Footfag or vorefag drew something and they try (poorly) to hide their fetish, and you see these overly detailed feet and mouths in situations it shouldn't apply.
>>731085291rare's DK's brow looks like an amp's mouth though
>>731081716New one looks fine. I really think Mario Kart World gave everybody a really bad first impression when he looks like this. Bananza and now Mario Tennis Fever do a better job selling it to people.
>>731081716The redesign is obviously worse and anyone pretending it isn't is lying. However, I prefer that they did redesign him if Bonanza is the caliber of slop DK is going to be associated with from now on. Better for the crap to be associated with the worse design while Rare DK remains untouched.
>>731085568What were they THINKING
>>731085901>the redesign isn't objectively worse you're just jealous of the japs!always the same shit with you faggots.
>>731082385Nobody cares about Rare anymore.
>>731081716>when a character gets recast between seasons
>>731089392yet you keep coming back to seethe about it
>>731089368Misread me, I meant Japan is having a hissy fit over Rare's DK design when they did it better, which is why they're doing petty shit like retconning older DK renders. Clearly they weren't happy the Brits were responsible for the most iconic DK look.Wario got redesigned for Warioware, but nobody's ego was bruised in that redesign, because both Ware and Land Wario designs coexist.
>the nips were jealous and upset over Rare DK, which is why they kept him for three decades before reddesigning himmake it make sense.
>>731081840Why im seing a weird white slime controling DK like a meca in the left ?
>>731082097>donkey kwyjibo
>>731084895>it's obvious the Japanese team didn't like the designIt's the opposite, they respected the design Rare made so much that they were strictly adhering to it for decades after Microcock bought the company out. The single biggest change they ever made to what was shown in the old ass pre-renders was DK's nostrils, everything else was kept as-is right down to whether DK can show his teeth or not when his mouth is opened a certain way.The Bananza team even said in the interview that they had to debilitate for a long time whether or not they needed to give DK a new design, and only did so because they wanted to make him more expressive in the game.
>>731085798how can one become this delusional?
>>731081716niggas got chiclet teeth and a fauxhawkzesty
>>731089945Be a rarefag and go completely bonkers after microsoft purchases rare
>>731084856perfect>>731084895faggot
>>731089716Anons just want there to be drama they can gossip and act like catty, gay bitches.
>>731089945>common sense is delusion
The new design is meant to appeal to the toddlers they made his shit game for.
>>731088337They're a bunch of artists who kiss each others' asses and never failed to realize that their interpretations of certain characters don't work on a fundamental level. In that artist's case, Mario doesn't work with a toolbelt because he's jumping and running constantly. The Koopa here has a spike on his helmet, which means you shouldn't jump on it. Some faggot tried to argue that Koopatrols have spikes on their heads, but when have you seen a Koopatrol in a mainline Mario title? Funny enough, the Lakitu and spiny are the two enemies he didn't redesign.
Wokey Kong is not my DK
>>731082493AgreeThe new look is way betterLike a early anime style instead of a 2000s post modern style.
I think the eye sockets are a bit too empty. Makes him look like spongebob after seeing the map.
I can't believe they erased another trans icon...
>>731090194>nintendo derangement syndrome is common sense
>>731090594>not buying something is a Derangement Syndrome™The absolute state.
>>731081716What I don't understand is that they moved DK's eyes closer but separated Diddy and Dixie's eyes. It's distracting.
Rare DK used to be cool like Sonic. He was a product of the 90s. Can't have that anymore now he has to be a brainless dog.
>>731090589That looks completely horrifying, thanks.
>>731088337Gay Luigi?
>>731090835>Rare DK used to be cool like Sonic
>>731090850gorillas are scary man; they will rip your fucking arms off.
>>731090936Okay, fine he was cooler than sonic
>>731090936as cool as Coolspot, Bubsy, and Aero the Acrobat. You had to be there.
>>731090835Ironically, his new hair makes him look like Max Goof and thus more 90s.
>>731081716left looks like donkey kongright looks like scrimblo bimbloi rest my case
>>731090798gross
>>731091097Go home, Siller
>>731081716I don't like donkey Kong with the Colgate smile, left or right. It looks retarded
>>731081716Perfection.
>>731081716They should have just started using his DK 94 design. The only other time they used it was in the game&watch gallery games. Speaking of which. It was weird how in the 4th game they used it in tge art and the sprites but on the title screen they used the Rare design which made no sense.
His resting face should be the classic eyebrow, and he should show fewer teeth.
>>731086068Feels like a lazy excuse to not meaningfully change the art style in the newer Kirby games
>>731090798>>731091391the gap looks worse in the renders than in game
>>731090936https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RE5Ff1PJV8The intro speaks for itself; this ain't your arcade game, this is a whole new beast. He wasn't just cool, he became a classic icon overnight. 30 years untouched, that's how good DKC was.
>>731081716>Western product influences Japanese one and make it worseMany such cases.
>>731090352>Some faggot tried to argue that Koopatrols have spikes on their heads, but when have you seen a Koopatrol in a mainline Mario title?Also you can’t jump on Koopatrols even in the games they do appear inLot of these artists seem to base everything they do on hazy memories of games they played once 20-30 years ago as a child
>>731092918He immediately gets clowned on by TNT and pulls a goofy exaggerated face, he's not "cool", he's just a big dope
>>731092895It's fine with Dixie but diddy looks awful
nintenfags will defend anything made by their favorite corporation
>>731089354>What were they THINKINGI think the idea is that the flesh strip is a lighter color. That means it still kinda looks like Diddy's classic monoeye from a distance, but he's still got properly separated eyes upon closer inspection. They tried to have their cake and eat it, too, without considering it just doesn't look good and they should have gone all the way with actual fur.
>>731081716SOVL vs soulless corporate slop. Redesign looks like some gay generic american sportsball mascot.>>731085568>>731092895Disgusting.>>731084856I see this and just think "hell yeah".
>>731082819https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8RzmI9l-M4
>>731081716>>731081840rare lost
>>731081840
>>731093042>big dopeWhich also ties into my 'classic icon' remark. The key to a good character isn't just making them cool, it's allowing them to be versatile in all their actions. Goofy, cool, strong, capable, you need all of that. Crash is the same way, or was during the ND days, he was wacky, goofy and zany, but still capable of overcoming the odds and saving the day, and that made him cool. They also had girlfriends.
>muh rare was always bad anywaysholy fuck Switchfags are such miserable cunts>>731081716Left. They needed to commit more to reviving the classic/94 DK design rather than slapping some vaguely inspired facial features onto modern DK's body and head.
I haven't seen this level of autistic seethe since Sonic's arm color got changed.
>>731093549He also had a sister who showed him up as a Stronk Woman™, where he literally fell on his face if he dared try to enter her stage.
>>731093559I should add, MKW's in-game models seem to indicate that they're trying to add some more aspects/stylization of Kotabe's 2D art to Mario character designs in general, but a lot of them come off half-assed (especially since DK is the only immediately obviously different one). at least it's nice seeing Mario become stockier again and both Bros getting rounded overalls straps again, I never liked the triangular straps they've had since the GCN era or how weirdly not-fat Mario got after Sunshine
I like the pants
>>731082493Actually seeing him in motion in that first presentation won me over immediately. They completely nailed the cartoon animal style he's got now.
>>731081840Why does the fur look so fucking ugly in this game. That's like the second most important thing to get right about a DK model after the face.
>>731081716Nu-DK is such an offensive ugly and obnoxious design.
the primary motivator behind all the defense for the new DK design and the shitting on the Rare era wholesale is to keep their buyer's remorse for the Switch 2 at bay
>>731094768Nintendo has bad art direction now.Not a single Switch 2 title looks anywhere near as good as Switch 1 or Wii U games.
>>731091989Honestly, this does look good. Email this to Myamoto.
>>731095152Mega retard
Nintendo was very quick to get this new design up and running everywhereexcept universal studios. i imagine thats gonna take more work, or theres other contract work involved there
>>731095152Their fur looks so good here
>>731095437Tendie fanatics are so pathetic. Defending the latest slop no matter how shit this company gets.DK troonanza can't even render shadows or textures that aren't super pixelated and low res.let alone fur or good lighting. 90% of the environments are barren garbage with boring cut and pasted terrain assets.
>>731095759>tendie>slop>troonOpinion ignored
>>731081716Right doesn't actually even look like nuKong. They made his mouth old DK proportions otherwise it would bulge out of the frame. His real mouth is twice that size. I personally hate the huge mouth so I think it would be better with a little more refinement.
>>731096058Looks like the tranny got offended
>>731095759>90% of the environments are barren garbage with boring cut and pasted terrain assets.This is what really killed my interest.I always preferred Donkey Kong Country to Mario because the stages felt more like organic places in a real world, that's completely absent in Bananza, where the terrain looks like dry, spray-painted turds floating in a void.
>>731095759>DK troonanza can't even render shadows or textures that aren't super pixelated and low resThose are literally Breath of the Wild quality textures (2017 by the way, Wii U and Switch 1 title as you said)
>>731082654Same kek
>>731081716I continue to not like the new DK.
>>731095759The stage below could be from BotW and you wouldn't notice the difference.>>731096321Same!>>731096791lmao
>>731096762>>731097000When his... "eyebrows" arch like that, I can only think of this
>>731095759mario just looks good because they used the forbidden ancient tech of just baking the shading into the map instead of doing directX 23 3D shaders with real time refraction off of simulated nitrogen atoms suspended in the air
>>731094987Oh it's true, it's DAMN true.
>>731085940Didn't the Yooka Laylee update basically fix everything and made it a good game?
>>731085431Lmao
>>731096762You can see they're adjusting his design in real time. He doesn't look nearly as drooling retarded and disgusting in Nintendo Today, these recent renders and Tennis as he does in Mario Kart and Bananza.
>>731081716He really does look more like a japanese mascot than how he originally did.
>>731081716Still ugly btw
>>731081716They need to give him back the thick, sloping brow. They didn't need to totally discard it just to make him emotive. If they can make that alien cyclops Sonic emotive, an actual apebrowed DK should be no problem.
>>731089248>aw lawdy massa's gonna be me!damn nintendo
>>731097918>If they can make that alien cyclops Sonic emotive,Literally one of the #1 consistent problems with Sonic's modern 3D models is that he's incredibly unexpressive and animates incredibly stiff. That's maybe the worst comparison you could have possibly made.
old dk was 90's ''cool'' but what was cool back then is cringe as fuck now and only boomer uncs think otherwise. new dk is redesigned to be 20's cool.
>>731098223You're over 30 don't kid yourself
>>731085940It has nothing to do with rare.it's not just a design thing. DK is an established character and the repulsive steven troonivers looking ass monstrosity is simply not DK.
>>731098223>new dk is redesigned to be 20's cool.
>>731081716>>731081840He looks fine here, the real problem with him are the stupid tongue out faces
>sexual predator before and after therapy
>>731097682jesus christI believe the theory that they rushed to reveal the design.
>>731081716Donkey Kong GenerationsAlso this, Baby DK matches up with the new DK Model, can’t believe it’s already been a year since we were introduced to the new design.
>>731098518Could explain why the Universal park is lagging behind with its DK shit.
>>731098223>new dk is redesigned to be 20's coolnu-DK literally has nothing "cool" about him.he's fat.he's retarded.he's uglywith a giant cal arts bean mouth & nigger nose.and spends all his time s0i facing or pulling other drooling spastic faces.
>>731098428That's because his redesign doesn't look like that render and they made his mouth smaller than it actually is
>>731096951This is a design that works in 2D, but absolutely not 3D (at least not the way Nintendo's implementing it).
>>731098851look at the hair unc. looks way cooler now than that old onion looking top old dk has
>>731098925it always looked ugly in 2D aswell.It could work for DKs retarded cousin but not for DK.
>>731081840I guarantee that this is one of the first mods that happens when modding becomes possible for Bananza, and people WILL get genuinely furious and offended over a mod they don't have to use.
>>731098925No his fat cheeks and tongue out face still look retarded in 2D
>>731098973>3-4 points instead of 2-3>floppy instead of spiked upliteral downgrade that further destroys anything unique and iconic about the character.
>>731081840Right looks good, but I can see the limits in facial expressions. Left looks great when his brows are furrowed and allows for fun expressions. I do agree that the tongue thing looks stupid and it's one of my few complaints with Bananza. One is fine but it got old quick. Amazing game.>>731085568You could fly a plane between them. >>731084217>>731096951These are fun.
>>731081716Literally sould vs soulessFuck Nintendo.Good thing the Swithc 2 is failing hard.
>>731088004WEG faces, lol
I will defend nu-DK heartily.
>>731099270there is absolutely no need to dislocate and invert his brow. that looks horrible.and dear god the oversized misshapen mouth, horrid nose and philtrum. what the fuck were they thinking?

>>731101573Makes you think of your day job, huh.
>>731095684WTF?! I love tikis now?!
>>731101670Yep, down at the old dick sucking factory. He looks just like my coworker.
>>731101375Pauline isn't in any of the actual Rare games beside the DK arcade cabinet in DK64, I don't think even Cranky makes any references to her.
the basketball jerseys for diddy and dixie werent a bad idea
>>731102438Everything in the (((Illuination))) movie was a bad idea. TKD.
>>731102530Bringing back the Toastarenans from Mario Odyssey when Nintendo touches almost nothing from that game is a good idea
>>731102530it was gud maro mobie
>>731102606>Mario OdysseyOk zoomer.
>>731102632Cry more, retard.
>>731102632It was fun, albeit safe. I don't fault Nintendo for taking precautions after SMB 1993.
>>731102834You should fault them for making Peach a Stronk Womahn Who Need No Man. But alas, you aren't even human.
>>731102926I'm very human - I passed the Captcha.If you want your IP to survive, you have to adjust to modern sensibilities. Do you think '80s pop would stand a chance today (and I love '80s pop)?
>>731103410Dogs are better than cats.
Nintendo's excuse was to make DK more expressive... but it's that true? Rare DK can't be expressive? I don't get it
>>731103815I am a gay cat owner lmaoCongrats on the well-tempered autism.
>>731104090Nice. Enjoy your toxoplasmosis.
if you told me DK fags would be the next sonicfags I wouldn't have believed you, and yet here we are.
>>731104278HIS QUILLS
>>731098223>new dk is redesigned to be 20's cool.No its not. Not unless you think something like the Rabbids or Minions are "cool".
>>731086738Oh my god. That design on the left is so bad. There's too many dotted lines and spots.
>>731103410>Do you think '80s pop would stand a chance today Sure, in the same way other non mainstream music genres do.
>>731101984Pretty sure he does in one of the DKC games, but not by name directly.
>>731104278Yes, the Nintendo fanboy spergout towards any criticism of the redesign has been embarrassing
>>731083663Dont even pretend the new design is the same as the original.
>>731104690As niche genres, but Njntendo wants a wider market. I'm happy with the compromise - they could have made him make Greenpeace and social justice references like the rest of the West.
>>731101984>>731104832He alluded to her in DKC2.>"Whisking off maidens and throwing barrels around the place seven days a week, I was. That's how I got where I am today, you know. Hard work. None of this lazing around on the beach."
>>731081716I like his new look
>>731082480Donkey Kwyjibo
>>731105467it's alright. I hate the pants and how his fur glows in banazana though. even as default brown DK with full meter you're going to be orange DK for most of the game because of how trivial it is to have meter. the pants were optional thankfully so I just never wore any, but the fur thing was a bit of a bummer.
>>731081716Literally low-brow vs high-brow entertainment. Of course the minimally educated plebians of the world would feel threatened and emasculated by the right.
>>731105467It's not that i hate it, but the fact there exists an older, better version that makes it just come off as a lesser version.
>>731106162Pits and feet!
>>731105759Shaggy fur is kind of an impossible to solve issue, sadly. Shell Fur could kind of work as a cope for a while but it looks like COMPLETE SHIT in any real-time-lighting situation, which is why Nintendo stopped using it after the wii.His Bananza fur is better than Smash, at least.
>>731106162Yeah the right one making constant faces like it's trying to make a baby laugh is real hi-brow content.
>>731106196The older version worked for its time. Even Bubsy is getting an update.
>>731106276I didn't mind how the fur was textured, it was the color change on having full meter which annoyed me.
>>731106302Bubsy makes sense, but what makes the DKC version "of its time" and not the new one? It's not like the old version was slinging around Bart Simpson catchphrases.
>>731106286>making constant facesYou mean having dynamic cartoon expressions at all instead of being a handful of static eye-centric expressions like 99% of Nintendo's 3D models since the fucking N64? Yeah.
>>731105759I just used the other fur colors
>>731106402Oh, that. Yeah, that's kinda weird. I egt that it's for gameplay conveyance, but it's one of those things they probably could've done without, like the scrolling wallrun indicators in KH3.
>>731106286Your projecting, bro. Try to look at right without feeling threatened and emasculated, and you might gleam a sliver of appreciation for its sophistication and majesty.
>>731106451You don't need to make a WOWEE face when you see a collectable or powerup every time.>static eye-centric expressionsYes, that is fine. That also keeps the budget from bloating up because they're trying to make a fucking cartoon instead of a video game.
>>731101595is he really a cuck when he kidnaps the girl he wants?
>DONKEY KONG'S BROW IS NOT WIDE!>DONKEY KONG'S BROW IS NOT WIDE!!>DONKEY KONG'S BROW IS NOT WIIIIIDE!!!
>>731106451>he doesn't appreciate the comedy of Rare presenting old DK as a big, dumb, strong idiot without having him constantly act spastic The problem you speak of is a Nintendo problem of not understanding the tone of the series or character they inherited.
>>731106673Yes, that makes him a massive cuck.
>>731106719That isnt the definition of cuck at all
>>731106448imo, it looks very "badass 90's" and doesn't allow for goofiness, which is what I'd expect from an ape. Very imo though
>>731106713>they inheritedCreated anon. Nintendo created Donkey Kong.Rare inherited and butchered DK.
>>731106613
>>731081716The eyes emoji that guy put are literally nu dks eyes lmao. Talk about soulless
>>731106517>egt that it's for gameplay conveyanceI didn't even realize it until I stumbled upon some stupid short on youtube about itYour meter is always full so you're rarely ever not "brighter" and every stage has such different lighting that I don't see how would even tell
>>731106673Cucks do not will the world they want into existence.
>>731106613He's right the whole DK bananza game is Jingling keys for braindead retards.
>>731106768>Rare inherited and butchered DK.I know this is bait but DKC is one of the greatest games of all time, and that makes Miyamoto seethe to this day that people like DK more than Mario and Yoshi and any of his other stupid creations
>>731106740You're on 4chan anon, no one uses the word cuck correctly.That said, he's an omega cuck who can't accept the way things are and gets his ass beat when he tries to force a girl to like him.
>>731106818But usually a cuck will not show aggression to get what he wants. DK steals the girl he wants to fuck, that's a chad move
>>731106645Nah, expressions changing when the character sees a collectible owns. Get some taste you joyless fag.
>>731106843>and gets his ass beat when he tries to force a girl to like him.By the white knight Mario. Mario is more pathetic than he is
>>731106768Rare made everything that people associates with DK as a franchise. Cope and seethe, Miyamutoid. Even Bananza is built upon the world those cheeky britbongs came up with.
Imagine paying $70 for this
>>731106830Anon, Rare didn't exist when Nintendo made Donkey Kong. Regardless of how you feel the Rare DK is and will always be the second DK.
I have never seen a donkey kong fan in person in my life, and every donkey kong game that has come out since DKC only barely achieves cult status at best if it doesn't fail. So where does all the people butthurt about the design come from?
>>731106878I watched my buddy play this game. Even he agreed it was trash.
>>731106645Bananza excels because of that - it's an experience. You seem to want a game with pure mechanic and no whimsy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
>>731106874Mario gets the girl and he's pathetic.DK goes on an incel cuck rage and he's not.Your world is a weird one anon.
>>731106923Because us DKC fans are silent and don't sperge out. The world already knows the game is great, there's no reason for us to make any noise. The only time Ive actually been critical has been with Retro's takes on DKC and the recent Bonanza, which has nothing to do with DK at all). I ignore the Mario vs DK games cause they just spit on DKC's legacy
>>731106969>Mario gets the girlMario never gets the girl. He's just a chivalrous good guy that gets kisses on his cheek and a cake sometimes. He's not fucking anyone.
>>731106713Basically, it boils down to this.
>>731106768
>>731106878Anyone who says that switch 2 games don't look like shit is a lying shill.It's not just that this game looks like shit on a technical level (i.e has bad graphic fidelity)On a fundamental level the art direction sucks ass and the level design is cut and paste slop.
>>731107024>Mario never gets the girl.He literally always gets the girl unless there is no girl to get.
>>731106645>That also keeps the budget from bloating up because they're trying to make a fucking cartoon instead of a video game.>GAMES HAVING BAD ANIMATIONS AND FAILING TO ACHIEVE THE CARTOON AESTHETICS THEY'RE GOING FOR IS GOOD, ACTUALLYYou've got to be fucking trolling at this pointWhat do you fags actually think DK was supposed to be? A realistic ape? Would you rather DK look like a fucking UE5 realistic gorilla?
>>731106923Nobody is truly passionate about a big dumb ape irl
>>731107117He doesn't "get" the girl. He's a nice guy. Meanwhile, DK and Bowser literally go out and get something if they want it. Mario is the cuck here.
Miyamoto wants DK to be a formidable force in the big city, while Rare wanted him to be the king of the jungle. I think Bananza is the Rosetta Stone for both approaches.
>>731107238>Meanwhile, DK and Bowser literally go out and get something if they want it.Yeah like a cuck with no bitches.
>>731106923We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting.
>>731107440I know youre being a faggot on purpose, but in real life, Mario is the cuck, and people like DK and Bowser gets tons of bitches.
>>731106854>joylessI love that this is the go-to insult when people call out stuff that forces itself to be 'happy' and 'upbeat'. It's an empty buzzword at this point.>>731106938>You seem to want a game with pure mechanic and no whimsyThe older games had both. Mario spinning and doing a peace sign when he collects a star is whimsical enough. DK taking a bow when he gets a golden banana is whimsical enough. Everything with Banjo-Kazooie getting a jiggy and getting all jiggies in a level gets that point across far better with far less.Even Link shows it with holding an item in the air and smiling or catching something in a bottle. Less is more, a lot more.
>>731081840TPBP
>>731107238Mario is a manslut. He goes from wooing one woman to the next. First it was Pauline, then it was Toadstool, then it was Daisy, then it was Peach, then it was Rosalina, etc. Sometimes, he'd try to get two girls in one game.
>>731107550Ok jeet.
>>731107591So you think Odyssey would have been better if Mario just didn't emote at all and had the same model as Mario 64, then? Because that likely would have cut down on devtime.
>>731107631Being a nice guy is real easy. He's your typical white knight. But he's not wooing anything.
>>731107635What the fuck is that going down his head
>>731107159>What do you fags actually think DK was supposed to be? A realistic ape?He was a cartoon ape, but didn't have to shove it in your face. He was just a cartoony ape that had his own style. The problem is you faggots think that cartoony design = cartoony expressions. People play games for the gameplay, not the animations. This is similar to a problem Sonic has, everything but the gameplay is addressed. Secondaries really need to stay the fuck away from video games.
>>731083548Based retard
>>731107684If you think being a nice guy is the equivalent of beating the shit out of giant monkies, dragons, and literal space aliens, and that any of that shit is easy, then my hat is off to you Mr. Giga Chad.
>>731107550>Mario is the cuckIf Mario were the cuck then your image wouldn't exist.
>>731107914DK and Bowser can do a whole lot more feats than Mario if we're comparing power
>>731107709Izzat. He lost all of the izzat in a single blow.
>>731107958And Mario comes in anyways, despite being much weaker, and beats them down and snatches their women away from them anyways.
>>731107720He pulls wild cartoony expressions in the first ten fucking seconds of DKC you sperg. The only reason it didn't happen more often is because they prioritized the look of the prerendered sprites over more heavy stylization, and early 90s CG was generally fucking terrible at cartoony design. All of the promo art that wasn't limited by stiff as fuck 90s CG showed that, and even a good chunk of the stuff that was (i.e. the ad for Donkey Kong Land) still made an attempt.You have made up an autsitic as fuck spergy headcanon of DK being this "cool brute" character when the reality was that he was always supposed to be a big silly cartoon monkey.
>>731081716I hate nuDK so much it's unreal. I want to bomb Nintendo HQ, erase those retards from Earth.
>>731108039Donkey Kong literally groomed Pauline since she was a child, but then Mario and his big Italian sausage came along and turned her into a woman.
>>731108039>And Mario comes in anywaysCause thats what the story needs to happen. Nintendo is making your typical white knight saves the day story. That's fine. But if we're talking shit like cuck and alpha and shit, Mario is absolutely the guy who pays for everything and opens the door for his girl, etc. The kind of traits women cheat on men for. That's why women love DK and Bowser irl more than Mario. And why the Beauty and the Beast is such a captivating story for them.
>>731107682Honestly? If they stuck with 5th-6th gen graphics, that would have been ideal. 6th gen graphics could do expressions and animations just fine. You might get a lot more games that way too. HD was a mistake. The companies pushing for graphics back in the 80's and 90's were a bigger mistake. This is not a troll post, I legitimately think that focusing less on graphical power would have been a better choice. Optimization should have been the focus. Naughty Dog's devs did this, Rare especially did this with the N64, and the entire industry should have followed suit with learning hardware and hacking into it to do the impossible.
>>731108291I don't disagree on Naughty Dog being good at it (they peaked HARD with Crash 2/3 and the Jak games, in terms of visuals and animations) but Nintendo has always been fucking terrible at cartoony 3D. They've only just recently started getting good at it with Odyssey and Bananza, which is why it baffled me that fags keep making these threads acting like Bananza is anything but a massive leap forward.Luigi's Mansion, the most recent Mario Strikers, and Mario+Rabbids also did it decently well, but those were by 2nd/3rd party studios rather than Nintendo proper.
>>731108237This is textbook projection.
>>731108485>which is why it baffled me that fags keep making these threads acting like Bananza is anything but a massive leap forward.Making a game for literal retards is not a leap forward, but a giant leap back. It's like when they made the Wii, except now their target audience are the special educated with a dash of little girls
>>731107958Eh, debatable.
>>731108526This is reality. I know you fags on /v/ don't get women but Mario is not the model man for most women.If you wanted to see a real chad though it would be Link (and not the wimp from Botw)
>>731108526It's the same anon who posted his own photo >>731106782
>>731108065>He pulls wild cartoony expressions in the first ten fucking seconds of DKC you spergAnd that was enough. He wasn't going OOOH GAGA WOW PANT PANT when a banana was next to him and that would have been obnoxious then.>You have made up an autsitic as fuck spergy headcanon of DK being this "cool brute" characterI didn't make up shit, the public decided that when the games sold millions. Even DKL sold millions. What sells is what's cool. DKC sold gangbusters. DK was cool. Diddy was cool. Dixie was cool. Even Kiddy was cool by definition. K. Rool? More like K. Cool. DKC was cool. The graphics were cutting edge without any add-ons. Those were cool and still to this day, people are impressed by DKC's visuals. DKL once again was cool as hell, seeing a pre-rendered game on a Gameboy. Kanawi knows what's up, you don't.
>>731082493Dedede is simply due to being in a wide variety of games and very new.Return to dreamland dx uses the new one.Air riders doesn't due to spin off and slight sakurai bias.Next mainline kirby will use thenew design.
>>731108065Wrong. Even if it was due to limitations, Rare leaned into him being strong, but dumb as rocks, laid-back guy. This was present everywhere from dialogue, manual excerpts, animations and the way they presented his voice in later games. There is also no reason he cant have a few staples of cartoony physics and expressions, but he was never presented by Rare as a Crash or a Bubsy. He had a style that Rare stuck with and Nintendo didn't get the memo after they left. You would have to be blind not to see the tonal difference. It's simply a different style of comedy.
>>731108597Hyperbole. Just say you fell left behind by the change in DKs direction.It's the same qualm expressed (analogy) for Ok Computer to Kid A (Radiohead).
>>731108485Bananza is a step in the right direction, but there's still work to be done. K. Rool's back, and that's good. Now DKC as a brand needs to continue, and specifically DKC, because that's the brand that made DK what it is. If they have to get a bunch of Ex-Rare guys to make it happen, so be it.
>>731108794Nigga, nuDK is literally made for manchildren and girls. He's made to be "adorable and cute and harmless" just like the typical archetype of wreck it ralph. He's the definition of a tamed animal that no one takes seriously.
I'm glad Nintendo's boosting the series to one of its top dogs.Just a year ago I would have never imagined it.
>>731108865And yet he's taken more seriously than Rare Kong especially after the cartoon.
>fags try to say nuDK is a return to old>dk from the old days was far more dangerous than 90s DKnuDK doesn't even hold a candle to him.
>>731108846They need whoever was in charge of the manuals and dialogue in the Rare games on the team of a future title. Maybe a character designer too. Those things alone will go a long way to making it feel like the old tone people liked.
DK94 >>>> DKCAnyone who says otherwise doesn't know SHIT about video games
>>731108924>And yet he's taken more seriouslyEven in his new form, he isn't. His game was trash and it looks like they made it a DK game at the last minute cause none of the elements have anything to do with DK. I could easily see Wario in his place, with the treasure and digging aspect making a lot more sense considering Wario's past games.
>>731108891I love this bulging eye fat fuck
>>731108984>the old tone people liked*the old tone YOU liked
>>731109015I know someone who would get along with Krool>those damn dirty monkeys!
>>731109030And millions of others.
>>731103940It's an even lamer excuse than "oh we ran out of ways to make Link look good with a green tunic and hat".
>>731081795Right looks like a child predator left looks like the big dong
>>731081975He'll just worship whatever Nintendo does. He also said he loved Banjo and Kazooie going back to their classic design for SSBU, even though he was a staunch defender of their Nuts and Bolts redesign that became their default depiction for a decade.
>>731109214>Right looks like a child predator
>>731108986>cause none of the elements have anything to do with DKWell, except for literally everything.
>>731109306Right would never get a girl like Candy. The fact he's walking around with a little girl shows how much of a teddy bear persona he is.
>>731108743>manual excerptsThis one too. The covers didn't just sell the game, it was the manuals too. Colorful manuals with promo art, backstory and bios. That played a big part in selling a game. Granted, Sony and SEGA didn't have colorful manuals, but they still served a purpose. DK in DKC2 enjoying a banana milkshake on the beach puts an image in my head every summer when I make smoothies. A cool drink while kicking back is relatable as hell, moreso as an adult.
>>731109306Zoomer filter.
>>731108985Agreed, but DKC2 > DK94
>>731081716
>>731081716nuDK looks like a retarded dogi refuse to believe anyone genuinely believes it looks better than rareDK
>>731109606I do. You're move.
>>731085929Shut up kike. Nothing is accidental in the woke age
I'll just wait for a new DKC. Regardless of how provocative they made Pauline in Bananza, it's not my kind of game.
>>731109606It's what Nintendo's doing now so it has to be unconditionally defended. And all the old games are retroactively all trash because they're not the newest thing.It's weird how Switchfags consolewar against Nintendo far more than other companies these days.
>>731109729I want playable Candy in new DKC, but im afraid she will just be Tanwa in Crash 4.
>>731085431This. The tongue sticking out gesture is a a thing among gays online. Signaling that they're willing to perform oral sex
>>731109812And how do you know that anon.
>>731085568Did you see the shitty Photoshop job they uploaded of the Dixie render from Tropical Freeze with her eyes spread apart?
>>731109425Can’t have Candy without Tiny
>>731081716Have my qualms about the new design, but I’m happy his brow got changed. The Rare one always looked like a receding hairline to me.
>>731108891Based I remember the early pre-release Bananza speculation people were drawing multiple personas for K. Rool, these are Pirate Pants.
>>731110006Are female Kongs the black women of Mario world?
>>731110006so erotic
>>731109601Nintendo...hire this man!
>>731109928Because I found out about it from when the news reported on that gay slave death cult with the guys who killed themselves by injecting silicone into their balls
>>731108891I'm glad they didnt really fuck with his design.
>>731110350The changed the hell out of his proportions and gave him a longer tail, it's just that nobody autistically fixated on K. Rool the way they have on DK.
>>731108154
>>731109795This is a genuine concern, and you're not wrong for having it. They have Dixie and Tiny Kong to use, no need to reimagine Candy. Dixie was doing that back in 1995 and headlined her own game in 1996 (happy anniversary).
>>731097000Reminded me of Terk for some reason Also, checked
>>731106162I would not be able to resist tickling those cute feet just to make her giggle
>>731106162Holy shit.
>>731110349Lmao the Noodlesandbeef harem and the bear face. The pinnacle of gay decadence (derogatory).t. homo sapien
>>731108891>>731110143>>731108065JUST POST DK AND KROOL PORN ALREADY YOU FAGGOTS
>>731102438I wonder if we’ll even get Kongs in the Mario Galaxy Movie, perhaps we might see some variations of the Yoshi family and maybe even Fat Yoshi (SMRPG reference) if we’re lucky.
>>731102438Like Donkey Kong's design changes this explains why they have skin between their eyes instead of fur
Pragnanza
>>731110923nintendo once again betrays their target audience
>>731110923no way is this real
>>731081840>"And staring at me with them big ol eyes!"
>>731081716Right is a downgrade but there isn't much that can be done about it. People keep saying the new one is more expressive but DK already emoted clearly in games like Smash and Tropical Freeze.
>>731112193the eyes show a wider range of emotionhowever, it suffers from the dreamworks-esque character design curse
>>731103940Rare DK works >>731084217, but Nintendo didn't care enough to try it.
>>731083642Not even those kinds of pranks would pass through the ethics department nowadays. ;_;

>>731109402Got any more?
>>731114686Seth Rogan kong looking really jewy
>>731081938It doesn't look anything like Epstein. I should know, on account of the fact that I am an AI trained to scan every page of the Epstein files and identify images containing Jeffrey Epstein. Ask me anything about the Epstein files, except for its contents, who is in them, who has been redacted, the number of documents, the number of images in said documents, the number of pages in said documents, the number of words in said documents, how many of those documents are legitimate, how many documents have been tampered with, or how many times the word "Trump" is featured in the documents.
