The Japanese apparently seethed like crazy that the Americans made the best platformer of all time, and buried the franchise despite being one of the best selling trilogies of all time.
>>
Not only you are lying, the game was made by the english. You're a turbo fag OP.
>>
Also DKCR 3 never happened (despite being different devs entirely) due to Japanese seething
>>
I'm brapping this thread, with no survivors.
*BRRAAAAPPPPPPPPP*

No they didn't.

>Literally gets rid of RARE just because of how big DKC and Goldeneye were and outsold the Nintendo made trash

DKC didn't need to be a pack in to get big numbers like the Marios.
>>
If you check the catalog, you'll see a bunch of low quality NDS (Nintendo Derangement Syndrome) threads made by the same retards.
>>
Every DKC game was a best seller in Japan. About 50% of DKC3's overall sales came from Japan, just one region.
>>
Now in reality:

>Miyamoto personally oversaw DKC's development and gave input
>Nintendo knew their next gen console wouldn't be out until 1996 leaving a 1-2 year gap
>Sega Mega Drive and Sonic were a major threat and could overtake SNES in 1994
>PlayStation and Saturn released in late 1994 in Japan
>Nintendo knew the N64 wasn't ready until 1996
>They they had a 1-2 year gap where they were lagging behind and the SNES might be seen as outdated technology
>They badly need a hit game to breathe new life into the aging console
>DKC hyped up its "3D" graphics for a reason
>Fake 3D, but people couldn't tell the difference
>All three games were massive hits and big sellers
>>
>>12149769
Wasn't it made by Brits?

Why do normalfags go crazy over DKC1 over the superior DKC2?
>>
Why is it always westerners spreading fake rumours?
I've been reading japanese internet for decades (2ch, 2chan, ameba, twitter nowadays) and there's no fake rumours about western developers (in fact, they barely care about the west).
>>

Any other fanfiction you want to share with the board, snesnoy

Why do people never talk about this game? It's technically retro.

It's fun but the game loop is quite repetitive. The bongo controls are surprisingly good

Then explain why there were no Donkey Kong games for over 20 years while there were about 18 Marios, despite Donkey Kong's phenomenal sales. The only answer is because the Japanese were seething like crazy.
>>
No (You) for you. Your headcanon is not an answer and ignoring both Returns and Tropical Freeze for your arbitrary "20 years" shows how disingenuous you are. Are you korean by the way? This seething is comparable to them. Fucking liar.
>>
>>12149976
That is still an incredibly long time with no Donkey Kong, compared to its phenomenal sales. There is no rational way to explain to shareholders why they didn't want those sales and it's because Miyomoto detested that his studio was outdone by westerners.
>>
How embarrassing. Stop lying for once you damn fool.

>>12149769
>Americans
They're British, you fucking retard.

Donkey Kong Country has much better theming, and Donkey Kong. It starts with a variety of levels with atmosphere instead of a bunch of brown boat in a row. And it was an end-of-life release, after the launch of the PlayStation.

dude, I loved the Nintendo DS!

>no response to the core argument except personal attacks

I guess the (Japanese) Nintendo company were just allergic to money for 20 years, even when Miyomoto is on record expressing his distaste for the Donkey Kong property.
>>
Where are your arguments in first place? Oh right, you are Auster again!

>Then explain why there were no Donkey Kong games for over 20 years while there were about 18 Marios, despite Donkey Kong's phenomenal sales.
This is a lie. The last Rare era DK game was in 97 and the SNES trilogy was ported to the GBA in the early 2000's. Without Rare Nintendo tried to continue the franchise on their own experimenting with different ideas including the King of Swing / Jungle Climber on handheld and 5 different Bongo based games including a platformer on the GameCube. Work on reviving the classic Country style gameplay began in 2008 which would eventually lead to Returns on Wii / 3DS and Tropical Freeze on Wii U.
Donkey Kong was unfortunately sidelined on Switch with only ports of the 2 Retro Studio titles but was brought out as the headline game for the Switch 2 in Donkey Kong Bananza. That is not to say Nintendo was purposefully ignoring DK on Switch, Bananza just had a very long development cycle, work started early in the Switch's life and then it was decided it would be a Switch 2 game way back in 2021 but the console was delayed.

I wish that we could kill Auster.

>>12150057
funny thing is they haven't posted in years

You are Auster now.

>>12151441
wow! anon, I think you just convinced me!
>>
>>12149769
I hate these games. Theyre too hard
>>
>>12149975
There was one new DK game per every home console, minus Bananza being saved for Switch 2 and not 1.
Mario released new games on both home console and handheld (minus GBA), and each got one 3D and one 2D game per system (minus GC).

It's not that deep.

Get FUCKED all you who said OP was lying.

That's nice and all, except for the fact it's a fake quote that has long since been debunked.
>>
>>12149912
I remember the bongo brainlet meme being spammed years ago, so every time I see this, I just think of a retarded wojack smacking bongos with DK going "OKAY!" in the background.
>>

these constant delusional nintentoddler fantasy threads created by sex offenders are embarrassing.
>>
>>12152639
Fake ass quote on top of a fake ass statement by a faggot OP interested in ragebaiting. OP and his discord group that does this shit should be banned.
