RIP to the real DK

Game Over Dixie

>RIP Rare's fan character
FIFY

>>713069174
Classic rare has more charm and character than anything Nintendo has EVER put out.

My dad really liked donkey Kong. He'd probably hate what they did to his design but luckily he died.

>>713069067 (OP)

>>713069174
Donkey Kong wasn't character before rare. He was just a big ape like any other but threw barrels at a plumber

>snoys pretend they liked dkc now
It’s the new ootsnoy

>>713069067 (OP)
Replaced by this ugly piece of shit.
by people who want to destroy everything.

>>713069324
>Nintendofag still having a meltie over people not liking his stuff

Yep i agree

>>713069067 (OP)
You should not be allowed to play Bananza with how much complaining you've done. When the game comes out and everyone loves it and you really feel like playing it, you should stick to your guns and avoid it. That's assuming you even have the funds to play it, often the reason people are salty over games is because they're too poor

>>713070850
Mario redesign next
Back to this style

>>713069067 (OP)
This is what switch 2 games should look like, not this wii u tier dogshit nintendo's giving us. God I hate the absolute state of modern nintendo and everyone tripping over themselves to reward the abuse and mediocrity.

I think new DK looks ok
Bananza looks fun too

>>713071092
OP screenshot IS from the wii u
Switch 2 is several steps backwards

>>713070850
DK knew about that cunny

>>713071080
we'll see if the massive tumours they put in his cheeks in MKW was just a bad model or glitch or if they've really just fucked up his design.

>>713071174
looks super fun
a nice refreshing break from playing idle phone games

>>713069067 (OP)
>20 years since Nintendo developed a proper DK game
>fucking goofy-ass redesign

why nintendo

>>713071263
>Low poly environment
>bad lighting
>assets just clipping into each other
>water doesn't react to DK

truly next gen. surely only the power of the switch 2 could run this ps2 game.

>>713071430
>react to DK
i meant TK

>>713071430
Thats an insult to PS2 games
They had water that reacted to the player

>>713071183
It's a CGI cutscene

>>713070475
>Anon makes another thread crying about DK's design
>"tendies are having a melty!"
Sure, whatever you say.

>>713072145
From what console?

>he makes silly faces now so that means he is redesigned
No. It's the same design. But now with silly faces.

>>713072732
He never used to make silly faces
Why does he make silly faces now?
I don't like the silly faces
The silly faces are bad
This cartoon gorilla no longer represents my ideal form of masculinity and this is a direct attack on my ego

>>713072918
He always made faces
But now he looks like a slobbering retard

>>713073037
>He always made faces
Post some

>>713071263
as much as I appreciate the change I still kinda like DK's rareware look, I dunno what it is but I the big scowling monkey I grew up with remains iconic.

>>713069067 (OP)
Miyamoto turned him into a slobbering retard now.

Are you paid to defend this nutendie slop or are you genuinely this stupid

>>713073074

>>713073074

>people that have never played Donkey Kong Country and dont give a shit about Donkey Kong pretending they're upset about a great redesign

RIP DK. Fuck Miyamoto. Rare forever!

>>713074219
>Rare forever!
>posts an image with absolutely none of Rare's own renders

>>713074378
Nigga it's literally DK from Rare's original design you stupid fuck

>>713074219
Left is calarts tier slop expressiveness and right is soulful expresiveness i will not elaborate

>>713074579
It's not actually, they made plenty of design tweaks from it to give off a less soulful vibe and turned him into a plastic toy of a once cool ape.

>gotta find something to shitpost nintendo about

>>713074704
Dude stfu, DK on the right has soul and is literally from Rare's DK render, stop being semantic

>>713074219
Oh now I see it. They turned him from a once Stoic but goofy character to a complete goofball.

he lost depth.

I think I'd like the redesign more if he wasn't wide-eyed and grinning by default, because he looks fine in all the key art where he has a bit of a frown on him.

Why do trannies and faggots love everything new so much? They're like creatures that are destined to consume nothing but slop without questioning why changes are made. They're just good boys, obediently consuming everything in their path. But the worst part by far is that they condemn and try to shame others who don't agree with them. It's truly bizarre. They're incapable of thinking on their own

>>713074927
>Fucking gamecube/wii era DK has soul now

I remember people used to bitch about that style all the time here and have unironic soul vs soulless threads about it. How things change.

>basically the same design as before but with more wacky faces
It worked for Rayman, why not with DK?

>>713075290
People who were kids in that era(like me) are in their 20s/early 30s, i.e. old enough to post here
Same reason you see unironic Brawl nostalgia threads here nowadays

>>713074927
No, the ones on the right are all from non-rare games.

I hated his nu-face for about a day till I realized I was just upset about it changing after all this time. Once I accepted that I started preferring his new face a lot more over the old one

>>713075163
It's almost as if characters can portray more than a single emotion.

>>713075291
Rayman isn't from Nintendo, so he doesn't have dedicated haters on /v/.

I think he just looks out of place compared to everyone now. Compare him to Diddy, Dixie, Cranky and Rambi, who havent had much of a change, and it's fucking weird how it's JUST DK who got such a big overhaul.
Fuck man, I'd say he looks out of place even with Mario characters in MK, they give him all these big exagerated expressions and tried to veer closer to his 2D look, but then you've got shit like Yoshi who is barely changed, doesn't even resemble his 2D artwork and can't emote for shit. If you're going to start redesign, go all in ffs.

>>713075375
How dumb are you people? they're literally from Rare's design just brushed up, it's still the same design unlike wokey kong in banaza which is a completely different onions design

>>713074219
I like both. People just don't like change.

>>713069067 (OP)
F
White genocide continues to march on.

>>713075498
cause you're a retard. left is for retards.

>>713075494
Lmao, "onions". This dude is a shrekfaggot. Anyway, not from Rare's games.

>>713075420
I didn't say they can't.

>>713069381
he still wasn't a character under Rare, why are you acting like he was

>>713075465
I miss Rayman so much

>>713075593
yes he was case they made him one and he became one of the of the biggest and most iconic nintendo characters. all of nintendo's good characters come from western people. zelda, mario, DK, starfox, ....

>>713075568
>no argument

>>713075291
alot of it has to do with the original 2 games of DKC, You see while Rayman has some inherent whimsy and goofyness to it DK was not like that DK has a murderous gang of crocodiles invading his fucking island looking to steal his entire banana pile so they go after them traversing the savage hostile environment in gritty 2D-3D graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBw42XgomrI

Stop and go station is a good indicator of the tonal shifts the series can have, although unfortunately these examples only exist in the first three games. (the third game is a little less serious but it still has those moments.)

>>713075648
After how amazing Origins was and how still-really-damn-good Legends was, I can't elieve he got shelved again. Also, they did hime EXTREMELY dirty with Mario+Rabbids 2. Can't believe he didn't get to hang out with the big M.

>>713075791
Yesh, he gave up when he realized that the renders aren't Rare's.

>>713075840
You haven't played Tropical Freeze or Jungle Beat, have you?

>>713075901
it is from Rare's design

>>713075969
There are very clear changes from the Country and 64 design, actually. Friendlier brow, larger upper body and arms, softer fur, more expressive. Plus Nintendo made those renders.

>>713076050
doesn't matter, it's Rare's design. End of conversation.

>>713069067 (OP)
I hate how hard they are trying with the "muh monkey" aesthetic in the new game.
It's like we get it he's a crazy monkey you don't have to make him scream banana every 5 seconds.
It's so forced.

>>713069067 (OP)
>I want the mandate to be a thing no more!

New DK looks too child-friendly.
Just like Pokemon there aren't enough edgier character designs around anymore, I'm sure the game and gameplay will be fun but nobody is going to say Donkey Kong is cool anymore.

>>713076146
Well, then so is the new one, since it has the same changes. So you like the Bananza design. End of post- onversation notes.

>>713075947
Ive played Tropical Freeze, it does not have a single fucking moment like this, you're free to prove me wrong it has been awhile but if there was something akin to a complete tonal shift it was not as impactful

>>713076234
Seashorr War and the following stages being frozen over, threatening versions of Returns's areas, Irate Eight as a stage in general, the stage that was literally burning down an entire savanna around you.

Donkey Kong's Country and updated Country Returns designs have always been ugly.
DKC is a fugly aah game, that has visually aged like milk.

It's good that DK can have facial expressions other than stoic nothing and confusion.
It's cool that he'll interact with Pauline and have real story.

The game looks incredible.
Clearly a reworked sequel to Odyssey.

>>713076375
>It's good that DK can have facial expressions other than stoic nothing and confusion
there are no words for how retarded you are. his face does the full array of emotions.

All donkey kong country games were shit
Dk64 was shit
Banjo kazooie/tooie was shit
Conker was their best platformer but still a bit shit

>>713076495
Confusion. Nice.

>>713069067 (OP)
Why is he so retarded now, he was never this retarded.
Unironically the MiniMario games have a better DK characterization than this shit.

>>713076575
faceblind retard.

Original looks like a gangbanger.
Horrific.
New one looks funny

>>713076676
>rooheehee, I dunno whats goin on, roohoohoo!
Nigga likes scooby kong.

>>713076146
Kevin Bayliss did not make any of these. But if it's Rare for you, then Bananza Kong with his tie is too. You absolute fucking loser, suck my banana.

>>713076963
this the troon look your prefer? >>713070448
>ack aaaccck

>>713071253
MKW has been out for a while now

>>713070448
retard looking mf what were they thinking

>>713077245
Now post the cover art.

>>713077245
>troon
Fucking how? You're godamn obsessed with trannies.

Babies first redesign.
Rare wasn't the OG Kong and of course it wasn't gonna be the last. If Mario gets design changes Kong will get them as well.

>>713077275
yeah but they're not fixing any models. we'll see if it carries over to the next games.

>>713077594
I know this one. troon kong looks exactly like the pic of the tranny acking himself.

>Rambi's redesign is closer to his Rare counterpart than his Retro one
Soulful

>>713077781
>not fixing
>not catering to whatever autistic contrarian demands you have

>>713074219
I see now.
It's autism. Autists can't read faces so the muppet-face of the old design was comforting.

>>713075290
GameCube was good in that characters finally got consistent designs but shit in that all of them looked like cheap plastic dolls and didn't get changed for a fucking decade.

I miss tan Daisy.

>>713069218
And yet none of their games were any good.
Charm can only get you so far.

>>713073074
The entire cartoon is on YT for free

>>713069218
Oh God it's a coping brit.

>>713077832
at the end of the day I'll take any rambi over that fucking elephant from dkc3. fuck that thing.

>>713078105
DKC 1 and 2 are fun games.
Shame 3 and 64 are so shit.

>>713071263
this is some ouya game right? with a placeholder zany character... that's why the generic loony face from some beano comic

>>713076208
Stop that. You know he suddenly looks more retarded.

>>713075840
>Rayman 2 and 3 are WHIMSY
>DKC is SERIOUS
Please shut the fuck up.

>>713077320
Miyamoto thought "Donkey" meant "stupid". He's trying to make the character his own again. His character is that he's stupid.

>>713078053
Daisy has been tan again for a little while bro, look at her renders in wonder and mkworld. Her skin complexion is clearly darker than Peach

>>713078718
She's not ghost white anymore but she's still not as tan as she originally was.

Things that snoys have been forced to pretend to like in order to force concern and get people to turn on Nintendo and the Switch:
>The old Donkey Kong games
>Ocarina of Time
>pre-BoTW Zelda games
>Iwata
>Reggie
>Rare
>The GameCube
>Super Smash Bros. Melee
>Mario Kart 8

Looking forward to them praising Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Metroid Prime 3 all of sudden.

>basically a 3D version of his '94 GB design
>/v/ hates it
Why?

>>713078917
Tan Daisy was a Camelot invention, she was just Peach without huge lips in Mario Land's art. Daisy being thick was a Next Level Games decision that also recently got folded into the core design.

>>713078917
True, I won't deny that but its better than nothing

>>713078993
It's not even that. It's the 94 body shape and a few traits (distinct nose, brow actually moves) applied to the Rare design. It's more Rare than it is Miyamoto.

>>713078993
Its not
They used Seth Rogan Donkey Kong

>>713074219
I really like the shorter legs

>>713077321

>>713078718
I hope she shows up in the next Luigi game. It's so fucked up they couldn't put her properly in Mansion 3 because she wasn't a "real" core series character until Wonder.

I'm happy people cooled down about the design change now that MKW is out and Bananza looks good
It was "Sonic's arms are not blue" tier

>>713079486
Unironically worse. At least Sonic's changes were really overt ones.

>>713079551
Yeah I showed the new design to multiple people to ask if they could tell a difference and most of them just thought it was better graphics

>>713079486
I feel dumb for only realizing now that they're trying to go for a sort of modernized Pebbles Flintstone look for Pauline.

>>713079628
you don't have anyone to show shit. you desocialized tendie shutin.

>>713079628
They changed a couple major elements, but they're the kind of things that typically change from product to product, artist to artist in non-mascot works.

>>713074219
New design is great. DK64 is one of my favourite games.
Cope harder.

>>713079754
it's pretty bad on the cover art and by fixing some proportions and removing the philtrum you can see he already starts to look more like DK.
he's still missing his iconic hair and head shape.
but that's not really what he looks like in-game. this is >>713079170
and that's why people hate it.

>>713075850
they really are the best 2d coop platformer games in the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACVOvbGX26s

>>713079628
When he's angry he looks almost exactly the same. People just dont like DK looking goofy and retarded now.

>>713078105

>it's pretty bad on the cover art
The cover art looks great.
>he's still missing his iconic hair and head shape.
They just added some tufts to make it look less static. His head is still coconut shaped. You're being autistic about this.

>He looks STUPID if you put a goofy face made in a different context in game on the cover
Yeah no shit retard

>>713069067 (OP)
you guys are a bunch of pussies. its not that bad of a change. imagine if rare had stuck with the original dk design. we would have lost a lot of his charm. im sure the new developers tried to maintain his original look as much as possible, but also wanted him to be a bit more whacky to show off his facial expressions better.
this is not a crash bandicoot situation, that guy sure had it rough

>>713075291
I didn't like what they did to Rayman either.

>>713072918
It's a personality change and change in presentation. But it's not a new design.

>>713078993
People keep saying that but it's not true, the new design is still closer to Rare's.

>>713079963
>but that's not really what he looks like in-game. this is
No that is what he looks like in-game. And the pants are dropped the moment the tutorial concludes.

At the end of the day, the Mario movie was what gave Nintendo the final big push to modify the characters.

>>713082858
he looks like he's mentally disabled in game
see >>713071263

>>713083261
He goes retarded when he is next to the big bananas. But that's not his default state.

>>713069174
Yeah, AKA the real DK
Before Rare Donkey Kong was barely a character

>>713074219
you should have posted the happy nu-DK expressions, these look the worst.
i like both old and new DK in the image you posted

>incel DK is dead, just like real-life incels will die for Israel
based Nintendo

>>713082913
I think it's more like they were planning on changing the designs at the release of a new console for a good while now and they weren't sure when exactly the movie would be finished and they didn't want the first big motion picture of Mario to use a design that would've been outdated in just a few months

They probably gave illumination the nu-designs ahead of time just so they didn't run into that issue I mentioned prior

>>713069067 (OP)
Wasn't he gunned down by the police during the "Kong Gone Wrong" arch?

There are a lot of design elements that carried over. Just look at the eyes and snout

>>713071263
Mario Galaxy for the nintendo wii looks better than this
