>Nintendo sabotaged their best franchise because the Japanese couldn't stand their Mario-shit was bested by an American company. The more I learn about the Japanese the most ridiculous and petty they seem.
>>12691832That didn't happen also SMW > DKC
>>12691832>Rare>American companyWhat
>>12691832Never happened. Not one shred of evidence for this.
>>12691846>"Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good"Shigeru Miyamoto
*Literally extends the SNES's life in the west**Literally makes you millions*Actuarry dis is dishonorabu
>American
>>12691852>>12691859He never said that.
Extemely low quality thread. OP is a lying faggot.
>>>/v/743262691Spam thread
>>12691837What are you whating for when it's true?
>>12691852>>12691859Never forget that it was that retard Chris Kohler who fabricated this shit for 1Up purely out of spite.
>>12691852Yeah I tried playing DKC and it was complete slop. Couldn't even believe how basic, limited and actually boring it was for a platformer. The whole Rare-Nintendo rivalry is nonsense, Rare honestly has always made middling games with excellent presentation for the most part. So style over substance.
>slop-postingAnother worthless post in a worthless thread. Pure retardism.
>>12691832Dave Perry really shot it out of the park when he created Donkey Kong.
>>12691832>The more I learn about dumbshit made up by forum incels with too much free timeyeah i liked fanfics when i was 15 too
>>12692251*Dave Barry
>>12691852Fake quote but still qualifies as a truth nuke. Nintendo themselves didn't even advertise it as a good or fun game, every ad was just about the graphics.
>>12692386Yeah bro I'm sure Miyamoto and them Nintendo Japs were behind the awful American Earthbound Marketing too, it couldn't possibly be that NoA was kinda shit at marketing games
>>12692391>it couldn't possibly be that NoA was kinda shit at marketing gamesWell they weren't. People bought it because of the muh graphics marketing and it was what turned the tide with the SNES outselling the Genesis. So they did great actually.Earthbound didn't have normie appeal and the graphics looked borderline 8-bit so nothing could have saved it.
Rare's downfall was their own doing not Nintendo, and I'm tired 5oyllenials keep insinuating that Rare did nothing wrong during the late 90s/early 00s.
>>12692234I have no idea why this apeslop was even popular. I bet it was the pseudo 3D graphics.
>>12692426It was but desu I can't think of any other games with pre-rendered graphics that had such good art direction. Name one if you can think of any.
>people still believe this shitthe quote about Miyamoto hating DKC was literally made up.
>>12692527On the SNES? I can't either.In general? Oddworld on PS1.
>>12692142Rare is a british company.
>The idea that Shigeru Miyamoto (or Nintendo) "hated" Donkey Kong Country (the 1994 SNES game by Rare) stemmed from a persistent urban legend in gaming circles, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s. It often centered on an alleged quote attributed to him, something like: "Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good." This was portrayed as Miyamoto being dismissive of the game's pre-rendered 3D graphics focus or jealous of Rare's success.>Miyamoto's own clarification (2010): In an IGN interview around the announcement of Donkey Kong Country Returns, he directly addressed the rumors:"The first point that I want to make is that I actually worked very closely with Rare on the original Donkey Kong Country. And apparently recently some rumour got out that I didn't really like that game? I just want to clarify that that's not the case, because I was very involved in that. And even emailing almost daily with Tim Stamper right up until the end."He was positive about the game's unique style and encouraged later entries to build on it.>The quote's origin was shaky and debunked: It was popularized by journalist Steven L. Kent in his 2001/2002 books (The Ultimate History of Video Games and earlier works), claiming it came from an interview with Miyamoto and Tim Stamper. However, the supposed primary source (a 1995 Electronic Games magazine interview) does not contain it, as verified by researchers like Frank Cifaldi in 2019. It appears to have been a misremembered anecdote, mistranslation, or exaggeration that snowballed.
>>12691864Top kek
>>12692586How do I know this isn't made up too?
>>12692607Maybe the fact that the famous quote has never been sourced
>>12692629>Maybe the fact that the famous quote has never been sourcedBut that just proves it hasn't been found yet.
>>12692629Miyamoto is a powerful man, he could have all the sources erased...
>>12692586https://archive.org/details/electronic-games-1995-05/page/48/mode/2upSteven Kent is a liar, a hack, and his ultimate video games book was poorly researched garbage filled with errors and made up shit. Dude should've just simply admitted that he didn't like Donkey Kong Country instead of shoving his words into someone else's mouth.
>>12692995Miyamoto ran the Yakuza in the 00's after Yamauchi retired.
>>12692421rare was the only thing keeping n64 on life support
>>12693039I'm with you anon, it's nice that after all these years there's finally closure to that false claim, but the reality is that the masses don't care about the truth, Steven Kent? Who? Nobody cares, it's sinply funnier to think of Miyamoto as this sociopath mercenary mafia guy who hates the games he himself works on because uuuuuh yamauchi is an ancient oni or whatever
>>12691832You can tell who didn't master or explore the roll mechanic at ALL when they claim DKC has "basic" gameplay.
>>12691852is it true that miyamoto killed gunpei yokoi with a highway truck after gunpei decided to leave nintendo and make his own company?
