Why does Nintendo hate this character?

>>712792297 (OP)
We do not have definitive proof that Nintendo hates King K. Rool.
There are multiple signs pointing to King K. Rool being in Donkey Kong Bananza.

holy coperino

>>712792891
If Bowser didn't appear since SM64 everyone would assume Nintendo hated him.

>>712792297 (OP)
Because it was made by FIRTHY GAIJIN PIG SCUM

Hey, I'm just stating what I see coming from a mile away.

Tropical Freeze arguably had more signs and they didn't give a shit to add him.

>>712792297 (OP)
I don't think they hate him since he was used for a few DK spin-off games before he stopped coming back. Something similar happened to Krystal from Star Fox (though her problem is closer to Nintendo only remaking or redo 64 again). K Rool most likely stopped being used because Nintendo doesn't know what to do with him, or rather, use characters they personally made in-house. It's why we don't get Paper Mario characters in Mario Kart.

based miyamoto-san

just wait 30 more days, if he's not in the new game, then yes they hate him

Give me a rundown on the krools bananza theory

Might be down to a difference in how they see the character. People who grew up with the Country games probably think of K.Rool as Donkey Kong's Bowser, his ultimate archnemesis. But I think from Nintendo's perspective, K.Rool and the Kremlings only represent a small part of Donkey Kong's history and they don't see him as important to DK's identity as Bowser is to Mario.

It might also be out of a desire to not have Donkey Kong be too similar to Mario. K.Rool...is basically just Bowser. It may be a conscious decision to prevent people thinking of DK as just "Monkey Mario".

>>712792297 (OP)
Because he is a pirate.

Maybe what happens is that Mini-Pauline is kidnapped by the VoidCo monkeys, they take her back to K. Rool, they turn her into Odd Rock, and bury her in the place where DK finds her later.
And maybe K. Rool got stuck in a boulder.

>and they don't see him as important to DK's identity as Bowser is to Mario.
well about that...

>>712792985
This seems like a funny haha racist joke but the Japanese really are extremely racist to literally everyone who isn't Japanese. Sweeping Krool under the rug because he was designed by westerners is exactly the kind of thing they would do.

>>712793916
>K.Rool...is basically just Bowser
K. Rool is more unhinged, more expressive and changed his gimmick in every Rare title. The Kremlings had a good theme too and were more rugged and made a nice contrast to the kongs. There was more to them than people think.

And this as well, mainly with Nintendo. If they didn't create it, they rarely use it. EAD in particular really follows this rule, which is why you see babies and powerups in place of actual characters in the spin-off games.

I played the country saga to death and i feel súper indifferent to K.rool, i think DK can have a more varied set of big bad bosses, i liked the tropical freezer guy

Dunno why Meta Knight is there instead of DeDeDe.
Meta is antagonistic at times sure but isnt he usually on Kirby's side?

DK is like Batman having multiple enemies

>>712795663
I mean in terms of their role. K.Rool is basically the same archetype to Bowser. A recurring "king" who just kept showing up to harass Donkey Kong and his friends. He carries fundamentally the same function, like Sigma and Wily in Mega Man. Nintendo seems to want to differentiate DK from Mario as much as possible, since otherwise they're competing over the same niche.

>>712796084
Dedede hasn't been genuinely evil since the second game, and rarely fights Kirby willingly
Meta Knight is more of a rival figure, thus, he often clashes with Kirby on his own volition, not to mention he's much more competent when he is an antagonist

>>712793916
that makes sense but it just sucks cause I like k rool and I wanna see him more often in games

I feel like no one but the long dead Rare understands what era of bumbling cartoon villain he's inspired from

>>712796675
How many era's are we talking? It's a trope that's existed since forever.

>>712796084
Dedede is a fat jobber while meta knight is a cool borb who throws kirby a sword

>>712792891
>Plot twist! You go to fight the main villain and don't actually get to fight him but fight the old one completely out of nowhere instead!

God please let this be true, it would be so fucking funny

never forget
