Why doesn't this have staying power despite it being the most polished and content filled Switch 2 first party?
Donkey Kong is a B-list Nintendo character
>>738050840Sad, but true. It feels like the Donkey Kong Country games have some level of staying power though, so that's not the whole truth.
>>738050779it's a single player game. there aren't unending waves of season passes and gacha slop to cater to zoomer attention spans
>>738050779Because it was just a fairly forgettable experience as a game. Repetitive, dull, mash button to dig around, etc.There's a reason Dongical Dong entered the classic DKC echelon and this one is already gone by the wayside. They just phoned this one in to make it a fairly generic modern Nintendo 3D title instead of a Donkey Kong game.
>>738050779Nobody gives a fuck about Donkey Kong
>>738050779>>738050840>>738050953Donkey Kong IS unfortunately a bit of a relic of the 90s. Too much attitude and edge for the current era. Even as a furry you'll note that present day furries are much softer whereas him and Crash are more "Radical".
>>738050779Bananza is the most fun I've had with a game in years. It's legit a top 10 all time game. It does have staying power in that it will be talked about and played in the years to come
>>738051586Hahaha
>>738050779>Nintendo were absolutely horrible custodians of the DK IP for the Switch 1 era, only granting it ports (also, 7 fucking years apart and starting with the second Retro Studios game), so its mindshare was atrocious between 2014-2025>$70 is a big ask, especially for an IP that (I'm sorry) is just objectively on a lower rung relevancy/popularity-wise than the likes of Mario/Zelda/Splatoon (screech all you want against this, the fact that they're starting to drop prices for upcoming releases speaks volumes)>the advertising and promotion for Bananza was pitiful, lasting just three months from reveal-to-release and not getting any meaningful ad campaign, which included not doing a good job of convincing you that you were getting $70 worth of game>related to above, but it deserves its own point: it didn't help that most people's first Switch 2 game at this time was effectively a $50 game
>>738050779Probably because it's just a novelty game and not actually very good.
>>738050779I'm pretty sure I saw this exact same thread yesterday but with Air Riders.
>>738051362It's absolutely unforgettable if you played through it. Only reason you could say something so wrong is if you stopped playing after 2 levels.
Zoomers with dogshit taste don't like DK for some reason.
>>738051586I definitely see people returning to it and it becoming a cult classic, but I find it rare to see people discussing it right now. Maybe anon is right about people having low attention spans and just all too quickly passing onto a different game.
>>738051362You're genuinely an idiot
Bananza mogs Odyssey
>>738051856>just wait, it finally gets good in the last act
>>738052019Its good from start to finish. Its EPD8 firing on all cylinders
>>738050779because nothing in it is good except the k.rool sequence
>>738052052more like EPD8 getting fired from all cylinders!DOHOHOHOHO
>>738052076wrong + you never played it + you're fat
Hey DK!
>>738052085That doesn't make any sense ESL
>>738050779Nintendo killed the games staying power by hiding the odyssey balloon hunt equivalent behind a 20 dollar DLC. The core game is great and a lot of fun, but its a single player experience, not much beyond that.
>>738052137It actually does though? What aren't you getting?
>>738050779Soundtracks are important for memorability and Nintendo's broadly been lacking on that front in a lot of their games this past gen.The music in this game is... fine. The tracks get the job done. Functional and inoffensive. Outside of maybe one or two of the Bananza themes, there really aren't many memorable tunes. It's an overall ding against the game's identity.
>>738052287Your ESL
>>738052460I feel like it has just as many memorable themes as Odyssey. I just replayed Odyssey and I had forgotten a lot of the music.
>>738051453It's not just boomers wanking off Rare. Many Nintentubers and what not are always saying that Tropical Freeze is one of the best 2d platformers ever made; Arlo literally says this in his most recent video, for example.
>>738052460https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwDzrnnP4I&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl9s3lzXMJo&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=15https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P2vIIVbTVM&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=27https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWUWDMR2lRc&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=35https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EzqgSg_nU0&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=36https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOzVEnAyyGA&list=PL3Ydt8g2VQ4Hrag6mehy1t9P3p2im57as&index=58I really loved the whole sidetrack in the game, but particularly the more ambient stuff which I felt really tapped into the original DKC games more then ever.
>>738051362>They just phoned this one inEven if you don't like the game, you can't say they phoned it in if the gimmick of the game clearly wasn't that easy to pull off. Lots of design and hardware challenges you have to deal with if almost everything is destructible.
>>738052708I don't particularly think Odyssey has many memorable tracks either. It's definitely got more and higher highs than Bananza, though.>>738052906Ambiance is all well and good, but we're talking breaking out/staying power here. Ambiance inserts itself firmly in the background by design- strong, memorable melodies are what tends to get stuck in people's heads. It's the reason 90% of Mario Music has stuck in popular consciousness for decades upon decades.
>when I equip the green fur and purple britches
>>738050779it's a proof of concept gamea $70 proof of concept game that can't be played on your switch, you need to pay $500 for another switch that does nothing new except run this $70 proof of concept game
i quit in the tropical layer like 30% through because i got bored. i just dont care about digging.I heard you can just skip all the quests and just go to the next layer without collecting stuff though, so I might just do that.
>>738053668Not really, no
>>738050779it's a slog to get through. I'm just mashing y and keep hearing "Oooh, banana!". there hasn't been one interesting npc yet. i just want to reach the end already
This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Donkey Kong as a franchise is doomed because Nintendo won't push the envelope like this anymore.
>>738050779It's no Mario.
>>738053668>NO PPI DOESN'T COUNT HELP ME SNOYYYYYY
>>738056075It's literally mario odyssey 2
>>738050779Maybe it's just me but I feel like the demo has a terrible pacing and from what I played i found it to be mindless 3d platformer, the ones where you can turn off your brain and destroy shit but that's pretty much it so I'm not convinced to pull the trigger for the full game.
>>738056279yeah literally dude, remember in odyssey when you can crush everything in your path and climb? or oooooh i really loved how they modified the capture mechanic in bananaza it was awesome
>>738056592>sequels are exactly the same
>>738056626yeah dude i remember when galaxy two removed the planet and spin mechanics and replaced them with a totally new move set and environments
I haven't bought it yet because I still get sticker shock, it's like $100 with the rougelite mode.
>>738052460Odyssey did seem to have better music
>>738052906>but particularly the more ambient stuffI really loved the sounds when getting close to the cork to the next layer. It's very immersive for me.
>>738054043You dont have to tunnel around, they designed the game to have clear paths. Just play it like any other 3D platformer. but when you see a discolored wall just punch it and it will open a new room fyi
>>738056410see>>738057207but I agree they should have set the demo in a different level for sure
>>738050779It sucked
>>738056854I heard that emerald rush provides dozens of hours of content, I plan to get it myself.
>>738050779It's a worse Mario Sunshine
>>738050779>Why doesn't this *headcanon*?
>>738057309Fludd looks different, did he get a haircut?
Game was a masterpiece, though they went just a bit too far in making DK a goofy silly bastard. Like the bits where he just sort of inflated his mouth for some reason, that was just too much. And his big tongue lolling out should've been toned down slightly. On the bright side, he looks pretty damn raw when he's mad.
>>738057309Nothing is worse than Sunshine, hate to break it to you.
>>738057290It looks really good to me I want more Nintendo rougelite stuff, just expensive
>>738057340What makes the game a masterpiece in your eyes?
>>738057365Attention to detail and polish, lots of flourish and soul, quality of life, immersion, touching moments, going above and beyond in the content department, proper send off followed by proper send off. Masterpiece is the correct word to describe DK Bananza.
>>738056854Get a used copy for like $30.Now the game and DLC combined are cheaper than the game Brand New.
Way better game than Odyssey
>>738056592>remember in odyssey when you can crush everything in your path and climb?Most of Odyssey is stomping on enemies and vertical platforming>oooooh i really loved how they modified the capture mechanic in bananaza it was awesomethey limited it to a handful of forms but they expanded the moveset
>>738057529DK transforms, but he doesn't capture anything.
>>738057564The forms are captured souls
>>738057365>movement is inherently fun, rolling around and climbing shit is great>breaking the terrain and punching the shit out of enemies is satisfying as hell>people said it was going to be open world slop, but the levels are just huge and full of secrets like they should be>lots of fun little mini-dungeons>bananza forms are cool and fun>Pauline is a cute little companion, loved her hideaway dialogue>music is the tits>loads of nice little mini-dungeons>entirety of the endgame made up for the almost 30 year waitIt felt like the entire game was tailor-made for me. Though it isn't without its flaws. Main game story is too easy, Pauline needed to stop commenting after the first couple of hours, and Kong bananaza was so damn OP that I basically never used it unless I had to. But overall I thought it was amazing and I was really sad when I finally hit that 100%. I wanna play it again but I should give it more time to settle down.
Critics and dumbass nintendies literally only rate games based on recognizability. Donkey Kong is lower on the hierarchy than Mario, therefore they don't care about the game.If this was Super Mario: Bananza, it would be rated in the top 10 games of all time.
>>738050779Ugly fetus slopSimple as
>>738058327What's ugly about it? Looks good to me, but i don't own the console.
>>738056626>gameplay is different>structure is different >characters are different>"ERRR IT'S A SEQUEL!"Retard.
>>738058582>gameplay is differentdifferent moves, but we're still comparing apples to apples here>structure is differentnot at all, we're still doing a world odyssey here>characters are differentthat's a given for a sequel>"ERRR IT'S A SEQUEL!"
>>738058665>Mario isn't in the game>The Story is actually a prequel>"Erm *hold up finger* its a sequel actually"No.
>>738058551It isn't a homoerotic visual novel full of cuckoldry. Tendies are holding back the medium with this kidslop
There are no physics attached to the destruction so the wacky shit you can do i just dig tunnels for secrets, which gets old fast.This is no Red Faction Guerrilla or Just Cause.
>>738058974>There are no physics attached to the destructionYou haven't played the game.
>>738058665>different moves, but we're still comparing apples to apples hereThat's like saying Crash Bandicoot has the same gameplay as Mario 64. Except DK is even more different form Odyssey because the entire game is based around the interaction with the destruction mechanics.>not at all, we're still doing a world odyssey hereOdyssey uses the 64 structure of collecting stars to advance in the game. DK basically has Galaxy like point A to point B goals to advance but sets them in 64 like worlds.>that's a given for a sequel Yeah Mario sequels are well known for not having Mario in them
>>738059001Less words more pictures.Go to the forest layer punch more than half a tree's base and show me it falling off naturally.
>>738050779Too many bananas. You kinda miss the point of collectathons if you cram it with so much junk to the point that the player loses interest.
>>738059265Sure. After you prove that you played the game.Timestamp your hand and hold your copy of the game. Take a photo.We can't move on until you do this.
>>738059359For fuck's sake, fang, he is 100% correct. I played the game and loved it but stuff does not fall down naturally.
>>738058724>New Donk City is in both gamesplot hole
>>738059265That's a design choice because play testers hated it when they were underground and the terrain kept falling on them from above, it disoriented them
>>738059064>That's like saying Crash Bandicoot has the same gameplay as Mario 64No, it's like saying Odyssey is like Bananza, which it is.
>>738059348>collectable in collectathon..... LE BAD!!!!!lol k
>>738059605>No proof he owns the gameWe can't move on until you do this. What are you afraid of?
I finished the game. It’s whatever, obviously made for kids. Very easy, finished the game without upgrading hearts/spamming health potions, most of the movement options are completely redundant. Majority of the tracks besides the ambient ones are absolutely awful, especially the gibberish nigger music. I hate listening to Pauline’s American idol WOAaoAHHh slayy gurl singing thing every time I remove void co tape. I will always prefer individual levels over open world collectathon. Overall the game feels more like balan wonder world than a Mario game, I just don’t agree with my tendo’s design philosophies. Like odyssey, I don’t think I ever want to play it again
>>738059996*nu tendo
>>738050840This. They tried to harness his likeness after wasting the IP away for over a decade plus after Tropical Freeze in 2014. As a result DK just no longer has the same pull and reach as Mario has.
>>738059996Didn't ask
>>738060070This isn’t twitter, slug
>>738059659Retard. If Mario 64 had 700 stars instead of 120 I'd lose interest after getting the bare minimum for Bowser.

>>738060396Because you're a retard. Not those other two anons you were speaking to btw, but it needed to be said.

>>738060396>confirming you you're wrong is "nothing to add"Sure thign
>>738050779Almost nothing has any staying power these days.It being a single player game makes it doomed to be mostly forgotten after 6 months.
>>738060525That doesn't look like a single character from Balan.
>>738060512Sorry I made you cry anon.Reply again if you're still upset.

Destruction as a gameplay gimmick is just not that interesting. Yes its fun and cool for a while, but then you realize the game has practically non-existent level design, because how could it if the gimmick is just to destroy everything?

>>738061208>but then you realize the game has practically non-existent level design, because how could it if the gimmick is just to destroy everything?This is a retard take and I can't imagine you played much of the game if any of it at all. If you destroy everything you're at a massive disadvantage because it'll make it difficult to reach stuff you actually want or need to reach. Meanwhile there is a skeleton beneath every level that you can't actually destroy. The combination of the soft and hard layers does a lot to create environments where destroying or moving terrain at the right places can be a great boon for the player, precisely because you can't actually destroy everything. Be it because the material is hard and indestructible, or because it'll be counter productive. >>738050779>Why doesn't this have staying powerRepeating it doesn't make it true. It doesn't have Mario brand power, but it's selling real well. And it's continuing and is going to continue to sell.

>>738050779The game gives you too many tools that are too powerful, and then doesnt ever expect you to really do anything with them. Like, at baseine you have the level to completely terraform the world, and never once do they actually do anything with this beyond the very basics of building a 10m tall tower out of wet mud or a minigame room that asks you to destroy some large object in a time limit. The entire base concept of the game is almost completely unexplored in favor of fights that focus on specific side-gimmicks of your moveset because they are easier to limit and measure.
>>738063649Did you do all the end-game challenges?
>>738050779I’ve been playing it once a month for the emerald rush events. That’s staying power right there.
>>738063748I was half tempted with Emerald Rush but it's a bit expensive for what it is.Hopefully they release the game with the DLC included on cart in the future.
>>738050779Because it's still garbage and they made DK a faggot.
>>738063687Yes. The game is constantly afraid of your powers and every challenge locks you into a linear puzzle with one solution outside of something like the ability to cheese long jumps without using ostrich. the entire burger level was really the last straw for me, its terraria posthardmode levels of how much they do try to lock you out of finding alternative ways to progress because it might cheese their intended linear narrative.
>>738063972>every challenge locks you into a linear puzzle with one solutionAny examples? I can't think of a single puzzle that didnt have multiple solutions.
>>738064014Guess he didn't have an example. Oh well.Why do people pretend they are able to criticize games when they never played them?
>>738050840>>738050953nintendo has a bunch of ideas they want to try and they usually just latch mario on to them because that will assure they sell. its been said to death here, but this really should have been a wario game. it seems like they just want DK to stay relevant as its own thing. hell they don't even include pokemon/pikachu whenever they show off their franchises, because they don't fully own pokemon
>>738064684>but this really should have been a wario gameWario can't climb like a gorilla.

>>738062321>title screen imageevery time. now show me the pokemon fire red title screen on your chinese handheld
>>738063748>the only staying power is FOMOThanks for keeping me away from this trash.
>>738063791You’ll realize once you play it that it has way more depth than at first glance. It’s worth $20.>>738065002They’re just statues of DK characters that you can earn through challenging events. If you were a big DK fan, you would have already bought it just to get all the statues. I gladly boot up Bananza once a month for a fun event to unlock statues of characters I grew up loving. Emerald rush is still worth $20 without the events.
>>738065264>It’s worth $20.Nah, I bought Mario Wonder for $20. This isn't worth that sort of price tag. It's why I hope it gets a physical release, they go dirt cheap used.
>>738065264To add to my post, emerald rush forces to utilize all the mechanics in the game, when the main game doesn’t if you power up a lot. You’ll get a whole new appreciation for the moves and movement in the game that you don’t get on a first playthrough. Especially if you’re overpowered. I’m about ready to replay the main game with little or no upgrades as a fun challenge. Emerald rush will prepare you for that.
>>738050779It has no soul desu.Just like Odyssey Both are fascimilies of a franchise mainline entry. Making the game extremely easy from start to finish makes it accessible for the target audience (braindead gen alpha) but honestly once you see what there is to see it's over. There's no depth in gameplay, ramping in difficulty, or true exploration Overall, it just needed to be tighter and more difficult
>>738065321Wonder isn’t even that great to begin with. Just a bunch of gimmick power ups. And yes I 100% it. Emerald rush takes 10’s of hours to master and there’s unlockables along the way. It nearly double my dk Bananza play time.
>>738050779>the most polished and content filled Switch 2 first partylolalso they shouldve made a tropical freeze 2 instead of this crap
>>738065458Who's Eric. You want a screenshot of my play time?
>>738065495I liked Wonder more than DKB.>Gimmick Power upsFunnily enough, that's my criticism of DKB. I don't like the powerups and have more fun without them
>>738065651Who is Eric you absolute schizo
>>738050779didn't evolve enough as the game went on, it's actually a lot of fun and a good game - i imagine kids went bananas for it
>>738065651played what? shitnanza? no thanks
>>738065701First day on /v/?
>>738059265NTA and i'm currently in the snow area but yeah, this building is straight up floating lmao.
>>738065615The power ups are far more useful in bananza. And I was referring to the wonder effects. I’m a fan of wonders art style and the music. I still didn’t pick up the bellabell park dlc. Can you play against randoms in the multiplayer mode?
>>738065837>The power ups are far more useful in bananza. And I was referring to the wonder effects.I didn't say otherwise. I said I find them less fun to play with in DKB than the ones in Wonder. Wonder Flowers included.>Bellabell park dlcI don't know what that is. I played the base game.
Reminder to report the Eric spammer
Because mashing b gets old. Its 1 dimensional. The game was touted as you CAN destroy everything but the reality is that you HAVE to destroy everything and it just gets tedious
Aside from Wokey Kong, how faithful is the game to the established DK franchise? Does it actually feel like a 3D Donkey Kong Country?
>>738065914>Then you definitely don't have a switch 2I do. I play a lot of Switch 1 games tho because they are cheaper.Mainly I got the console to use as a Switch Pro, plus Kirby and DKB.
>>738066004>Does it actually feel like a 3D Donkey Kong Country?No. There's a level that references it, but it feels very different to play.
>>738065838huh
>>738066004It doesn't feel like a Donkey Kong Country game because it isn't one. It does sufficient service the franchise though
bump
>>738066026Retard
>>738066170Is Eric in the room with us right now?
>>738066536STOP REPLYING TO SPAMBOTS YOU RETARDED NEWFAG
>>738066615Well no one's reporting him so why not
>>738059653Maybe try playing either of the games before trying to comment on them.
>>738066669
>>738066645>He's ruining the site, so I should be allowed to make the site worse too!!Go back, newfag, you don't belong here.
>>738066041>>738066165Then even though I'm sure it's a great game, as a lifelong DK fan I'm not exactly falling over myself to buy a Switch 2 and play it.
>>738066845Cute loli
>>738050779
>>738050779Im sure some kid will have this as their ever first videogame and in twenty years be overly nostalgic over it. But only this one. Because at this pace Nintendo produces first-party title at the speed of a sleeping snail. We're talking six to seven years between every iconic platformer they make. Now compare that to the cadence of releases back in the N64/PS1 ones and look at how often Fortnite puts out battle passes. Of course kids are gonna go back there because thats where all the new stuff is. Can you imagine Nintendo pulling out all the stops and making a Mario-nite, live service platformer multiplayer brawler with the same amount of updates for skins, dances and weapons that these other games have.
>>738066748You're not the authority on who "belongs" on 4chan or not
>>738067148>Nintendo produces first-party title at the speed of a sleeping snailThis can be true but it's still faster than it's competitors. Fortnite can pay for as many licences as it wants, it is the exception but tendies aren't going to migrate to it
>>738067437Agreed. The arms race of graphics, animation and voice acting affects even everyone. Everyone needs to have the shiniest graphics otherwise someone else will make a shinier bullshot and ignore your game. The only way I see out of it is a a major expansion in AA third-party titles that have a budget higher than indie games, but not so expensive to make they can't take risks and possibly surprise everyone. Plus in these expensive times, having a mascot platformer come out on physical release and only cost 30-40 pound dollars would be a boon to everyone. We already have mascot platformers en masse on Steam, but none of their publishers seem to be in a hurry to go physical.
>game is le forgottenno source or basis>game is failing!no source or basis>game flopped! no source or basis Why are threads like this basically 33% of all threads on /v/?
>>738067191Go back.
>>738067792It's not a court case. I, as I assume all others, have been around to witness the release of every Nintendo console since at least the SNES, and we can tell by comparison to the likes of Mario Galaxy and Mario Odyssey that no man gives two fuck about Bananza.This is supposed to be the game that presents the best video games can produce in the modern era.
>>738068183>it's not a court case cope>this is supposed to be the game that presents the best video games can produce in the modern era.why go full retard with a statement like this, nobody is claiming this
>>738068183I can't believe Donkey Kong is less well known than *checks notes* the face of gaming.
>>738068484DK used to be the face of gaming. Funny how things change
>>738050779It was cute
>>738068690His arcade cabinet was the face of gaming for 4 years and then Mario took over
Is there a way to keep the Odd Rock instead of Pauline in the game? A costume or something?I liked the Odd Rock better, but I haven't bought the game yet so idk what the options are.
>>738068690Almost half a century ago
Any other big dogs itt. Snoys need not apply
>>738069464And? I'm still correct.
>>738069521>He bought a Switch 2>to play 2 Switch 1 gamesWonder why?
>>738069264>I liked the Odd Rock betterYou are the only nigga on Earth who cared about Odd Rock
>>738069653Okay?
>>738069524It's more correct to say he hasn't been the face of gaming in forever and like >>738069259 pointed out it was extremely limited
>>738069574Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch 1 games. Hope that helps
>>738070124>It's more correct to sayNo, it's not.My statement was perfectly accurate. You're just acting like a sperg.
>>738070164So why not buy a Switch 1 and save money on the "big dog" purchase? He could have brought a few more games for the same price.
>>738070214It's ok being less correct gramps. Mario has been the face of gaming for 40 years. The DK cabinet was 4 years
>>738070253Switch 1 games are the same price whether I play it on a switch 1 or switch 2 and some of the S2 upgrades are free
>>738070351I wasn't less correct.My statement is 100% accurate. Feel free to demonstrate why you think I'm wrong, unless you're too scared.
>>738070390>Switch 1 games are the same priceThey're literally 10 dollars less when new and like 30 dollars cheaper usedBought Mario Wonder for $20 used.
Because people wanted a Donkey Kong 64 in a jungle/treehouse vibe setting with today's graphics, not a yellow-paint splashed game centred on a gimmick
vinny vinesauce trucking loved it. that's all i need to know
>>738070641>yellow-paint splashed gameWhere? Post a screenshot.
>>738062281
>>738070641You can get that for $20 more!
>>738070881No you can't
>>738070473My statement only concerns switch 1 versions.
>>738071024Okay.My statement said you could buy more Switch 1 games if you bought a Switch 1 console over a Switch 2, and it's still correct.I don't know why this seems to upset you
>>738050779It will have staying power and it's doing well - it's just not discussed in your circles.Things it did well:- Novel gameplay through destructive environments- Animation quality - besides the occasional glitching around the voxel-based environment, the animation throughout the game is very fluid and immersive- A sweet and simple story to motivate the player (if the player can sympathize with it).- I enjoyed the quality of the music, though I can imagine that some may find it off-putting for its pop content.Things it does not do well:- Difficulty, though watching my younger family members play I can see that they targeted today's kids. If they lose their attention, they won't develop a fond association with the IP and they're more likely to bounce off the sequel.- Gameplay variety and resilience - I enjoy the destructibility of the environment, but I with there were more limits to it e.g. making bananergy harder to accumulate and making some terrain difficult or impossible to climb on without some puzzle element.- Some design choices, like making DK's fur change color with a full bananergy meter and not allowing for full color customization of clothing.Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I think anyone interested in action-adventure (it's also a platformer, but I think it's mostly action-adventure) would appreciate a game like this and the amount of effort that went into it. Given that it was produced by a newer team, I'm impressed and looking forward to their next development.
>>738071089I don't know why you're upset that I can have the best of both libraries by buying a switch 2. Hope that helps
>>738071089Time is relative. People would argue that DK wasn't the face of gaming. Space Invaders had a more significant legacy
>>738069521big dog, here's mine
>>738071769Nintendoomers... our response?
>>738071227Who's upset?My statement is correct, that's all.>>738071667>Time is relativeHow is that related to my post?
>>738072079You sound upset.
>>738072079>Who's upset?You are it seems. You seem to be dissatisfied at both the switch 2 hardware purchase and the explanation of the prospect of having access to two libraries instead of one.
>>738069521>>738071769Notice that tendies post games while snoys don't
>>738072079>How is that related to my post?"used to" implies the passing of time
>>738072325>>738072409>No answers>Has to make up scenarios in his head to pretend are realYou're very imaginative!I just stated a fact about the cost. Nothing more.
>>738072551I think you replied to the wrong post.
>>738072561You lead with "why not buy a switch 1", which I responded to>I just stated a fact about the costalready debunked
>>738050779Donkey Kong just isn't that popular most of the time. It has its moments where it sells a lot of copies due to novelty (DKC1, Returns) but otherwise it's a mid-tier Nintendo IP. And in Bananza's case the game wasn't that novel, it was just Odyssey without the precise platforming.
>>738072561definitely upset
>>738061420both of those games have multiplayer.
>>738072850Yes. That question supports my statement.Is English your second or third language? It's clearly not your first.
>>738072992Definitely projecting
>>738073307Where is the projection?
Why do tendies get so booty blasted when you point out that odyssey sold like 10 million in under a year and the tech demo sold way worse despite it being on the fastest selling console ever?
>>738073459>why did the biggest video game IP outsell another?We hate repeating ourselves.
>>738073438Here>>738072992
>>738073267So you weren't soliciting a response with the question?
>>738073673Not me but you're not showing what the projection is of
I just got to the racing layer and I managed to platform over to the trophy and climb all the way to the top without even doing the racing minigameand then I inhaled the entire trophy This game and Air Riders are like cocaine Am I supposed to not buy the DLC until I beat the game?
>>738073987It's recommended to get it after. The dlc rotates the layer for each season so it's possible you'll be spoiled on layers you haven't been to
>>738067792(You) addiction and useless tranny jannies.
>>738066845Where is this from?
>>738050779>staying power Is this even a thing when you're past 8-15 years old?I just play games and move on. Maybe if the soundtrack is good I'll go back to it, but mostly I don't really think about them again.
