Remember when Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong were different?
Why is Nintendo so insistent on making all these different properties into the exact same game?

It's called Consolidation.

>>713141529 (OP)
mario and donkey kong are both 2d linear platformer series that transitioned into 3d large, open-ended collectathons. seem pretty similar to me

Sing a dirge and shed a tear for Nintendo because it is over 1985-2025 pretty good run.

>>713141529 (OP)

Each layer is is own world, it works like the old 64 games lole mario 64 and DK64.

And it's also a pedophile game now, sad!

other than open world and rocksledding, mario and zelda have had all those traits since gamecube. this is not new.

As with everything, Nintendo is late.
Same way they turned Zelda into open world Ubisoft garbage, but it happened years after it had become a cliché on every other platform, but it was novel for nintendofags that never play anything outside of Nintendo so it was praised to high hell.

One game's saturday morning kiddie shit with a goofy gorilla in a colorful world and the other's an exploration into the pitfalls of idealism in a dark and twisted underwater city.

It's just a carbon copy of Mario Odyssey, including the complete lack of challenge or difficulty. Even the moon, er, banana collecting is gonna be rehashed, isn't it?

>>713142591
>DK is more expressive, but those expressions aren't in service of a story that warrants them
>DK can punch through any terrain, but most of the maps shown are wide open areas where walking would be more efficient
It's not difficult to glean that most of the game will be walking around with characters talking to fill the space; it's not an experience a lot a people would want, especially not DK fans.

It's gonna be the shallow freedom that BOTW and TOTK flaunted, where you can "make your own fun" but there's no point because the pool is rather shallow. The worst part is that it's gonna sell millions and people are gonna jerk it off solely because of the brand.

By the way your fan art is cringey as all hell.

>>713149290

>>713149178
Bioshock 2 has a drab and depressing atmosphere that makes me sad and reflective and a protagonist that makes sounds like the titanic. But that does not make the drilling into people any less fun.

3D platforms as a genre have mostly died out due to the oversaturation problem. All of them more or less playing the same and it was just impossible to compete against few top end ones that ended up consolidating all the players. At a time period the demographics were getting older and players wanting more mature experiences. So companies decided it was worth making them anymore. My point is history is repeating itself.

New Donk City is already founded.

I dont understand why people keep saying that, bonus challenges are a thing in DK, many other games (like 3D Marios) has something like that, the environments and even the mechanics change, so why anyone would think "yeah this is like BotW shrines"
Its made by the Odyssey team, most DK games have collectables anyway

>>713150109
The problem is that not a single collectable or bonus challenge was interesting or challenging. It's the same problem that Breath, Tears and Mario Odyssey all had. Nintendo is terrified of challenging their audience.

Donkey Kong Country was a Mario clone

>>713150279
Awesome. Looking forward to Wario's turn for a proper World sequel with satisfying and flashier moves, destructible environments, and more hectic fights with weird bosses.

Turns out they absolutely are when they forget what made DK actually cool to begin with—tight level design, momentum-based movement, and atmosphere. Now it’s just “open-world jungle sandbox” with token collectibles and a glider slapped on top. Feels like they’re designing for checklist streamers instead of players who actually want a refined platformer.

they are different

mario focuses on jumping
dk focuses on climbing, barrels and punching/throwing, collecting
zelda focuses on climbing, camping, swords and puzzles

the only thing they share now is they're more "open" and explorative, which is good

btw monkeybars make much more sense in dk than they did in mario

Nintendo and especially Miyamoto never understood why people liked DK in the first place, not helped by the fact DK was made popular by Rare aka GAIJIN PIGGERU and not some soulless overworked bugman from GLORIOUS NIPON, which likely pisses off oldtards at Nintendo something fierce, notice how they never had issues with Rare DK's design for decades, how they are STILL using DK Country designs for most characters and now suddenly they want to pretend this was what DK's design was always meant to be? You'd have to be retarded to buy into this shit for even a second, the movie design is dogshit, the new design they're trying to force is dogshit and looks like something out of a cheap shitfornia cartoon instead of the fun, strong and expressive gorilla we've known for so long. This just isn't DK dude, no matter how much shills and old sellout faggots pretend otherwise. How much are any of you willing to bet this is gonna be another one of those Nintendo games that every single jewtuber and mouth gaping shill is going to jerk off to for a few weeks, possibly even a few months and then suddenly we're gonna get a torrent of videos talking about how this game is actually shit when it becomes "socially acceptable" to do so? If you're some desensitized zoomer who just eats trash without asking a single question, don't even bother, "your" opinion is worth less than nothing.

>>713148762
I definitely do prefer that older style so that you could change the map for level specific scenarios.
Making a full open world doesn't work for situations like making the whole ground lava or having a giant paint boss like in sunshine because its a one time thing that is gone once you beat it.
DK seems to be trying to partially go back to this like with odessey and not going full breath of the wild and Im all for it

I do miss the world hub situation they did with Super Mario 64. It gave you a nice place to start out at and slowly unlock everything while also finding secrets hidden throughout

TotK should have been a Death Stranding clone

>>713153840
of course its like that you can't really make this a 2 player game but this works for kids who have annoying siblings who want to play but can contribute anything other than randomly pressing buttons and wasting all your lives.
Super Mario Galaxy kind of answered this issue but this just ended up with the little kids wasting all the star bits and now with this we might have a fake 2 player game that doesn't make you lose anything but still satisfies the kids who are too young to game but think they need to be playing

Everything else aside I don't know why it took me till now to realize that feathers are out of place on a gorilla. I think my subconscious kept saying 'it's a powerup costume' and I finally just noticed no he always has feathers this game

It's a game where one of the core mechanics allows you to EXPAND KONG

Nothing is a coincidence.

DK was always a collecathon game. Even the early 2D games had it. The one thing I really don't like is the skill shit. Every time I see something like it in a game that shouldn't have it it makes me think that the devs don't think you would keep playing for the sake of the game and slapped some light RPG progression system onto it like a carrot on a stick for you to run after.

>>713158156

Wrong

>>713141774
Same dynamic. Bananza is basically 3D Yoshi's Island except your character is bear gay instead of twink gay.

>>713141529 (OP)
It's not even open world

>>713155724
>notice how they never had issues with Rare DK's design for decades, how they are STILL using DK Country designs for most characters and now suddenly they want to pretend this was what DK's design was always meant to be?
There are less differences between Bananza's DK design and DK64's DK Design. Than between DKC1's DK Design and DK64's DK Design. Or DK64's DK Design and Smash's DK Design. Or DK64's DK Design and Return's DK Design.

Giving DK more faces and animations is not a change in design. New DK is different yes but it's different in presentation, not design.
The actual differences in design are super fucking slight.

>>713163012
>facts don't care about your feelings
Then you'd know that Bananza is not open world because it very clearly is not.
And citing Wikipedia to claim otherwise is kind of pathetic.

Funnily enough, Wikipedia cites two sources for its open-world claim and neither source even calls the game open-world.
One is a Polygon article that compares Donkey Kong to the Hulk and mostly talks about the destructible environments. It says 'open' once when it claims you destroy the terrain to open up new pathways. But that does not equate to the game being open world and it never claims it is open world.
The other source wikipedia cites is a gamesradar article that just goes over the reveal trailer. And the entire article is basically just vibes going off of the writer's observations off of the trailer with no first-hand experience, interviews, or anything to go off of but their vibes. And all this article even says is
>the platforming levels appear to be quite open-zoned in nature - in a similar vein to the likes of Kirby and the Forgotten.
For one this is just the writer vibing the trailer and trying to make an educated guess. Second, it's being compared to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Is that game Open World? No.


And even without citing wikipedia. It's pretty apparent that Bananza is not open world.
Was Banjo Kazooie open world? Was Mario 64 open world? Was Wario World open world?
No? Then what makes you think this game is?

>>713166324
shut up nigger it's open world

>>713141529 (OP)
I honestly fucking hate this design. Dunno what it is. It just looks really unpleasant to me. And DK looks like a drooling retard with his tongue constantly out.

Also the gameplay is precisely what I feared all their games would turn into after that Odyssey and BotW cancer.

>>713166408
Facts don't care about your feelings.

>>713166324
>Was Banjo Kazooie open world? Was Mario 64 open world? Was Wario World open world?
Yep.

how did things go so wrong?

>>713166780
My favourite open world game is Ape Escape.

WHERE IS IT
WHERE'S THE NEXT WARIO LAND WARIO
WHAT HAPPENED
WHERE ARE YOU

>>713141529 (OP)
DK has terrain destruction. Mario had captures. Zelda had a bunch of shit. Even ignoring their individual gimmicks, you can't possibly tell me all three play the same. Mario and DK's gameplay don't even look that similar. DK looks so much faster than Odyssey and the latter had essentially no combat.

>>713141529 (OP)
Easier to design, keeps costs downu
Prease undustanduru

I understand wanting to rebrand Donkey Kong and make him more expressive, but I think they took him too far. He just looks like a dumbass.

>>713147572
that gorilla can probably fuck more shit up than a bunch of these diving suits with their dinky drills and I like BioShock

>>713142047

>>713141529 (OP)
It doesn't look that much different in it's overall structure from DK64 just much less annoying.

>>713142387
Sorry your bitch wife drank turpentine while pregnant with your friend's kids, anon.

>>713169046
They've been doing the equivalent of pic related to all games. Mario Kart is overanimated too, Mario Wonder is known for the same (people here call it "forced animation"), DK behaves like a retard now and even Link in Breath of the Wild was already making "hm" "lalala" faces like a faggot while cooking.

Dunno why Nintendo is so adamant in making everything not only overly childish, babyfied. It was fine as "for all ages", their current direction wants to make everything lame.

>>713147202
I understand why they would want to move away from the original design, it actually has a whole bunch of issues that make it difficult to work with. That said, the new design looks like a completely different character from a completely different intellectual property. like the image says, it clashes terribly with the old Rare designs. The first, shocked expression in particular looks really awful

>>713169663
>Dunno why Nintendo is so adamant in making everything not only overly childish, babyfied
Because people had no self-control or standards with the Switch, so now we're going to be stuck with this shit for the next 20 years.

People can't be this attached to a design of a vidya ape that they never played the first game of.

>>713169663
>even Link in Breath of the Wild was already making "hm" "lalala" faces like a faggot while cooking.
Nigger you are literally insane.

>>713171808
It's certainly more believable than the "I always hated his Rareware design all along for the past 30 years anyway!" types.

>>713141529 (OP)

mario = 2d platforming game
dk = 2d platformers game

HMMMMMMMM I WONDER WHY

Shoot OP in the head stat.

>>713148047
and yet this thread had none of that issue and you still had it on your mind.

>>713154141
Smash Melee's pause screen was basically a photo mode back in like 2001

>>713141529 (OP)
this game could be a case study on the topic of "how autists react to even the slightest change". the amount of fake outrage people have come up with about anything and everything when they really just got triggered that DK looks "slightly" different is honestly hilarious.

I really think you guys are forcing hating this game.

>>713174010
If it's a change for the worse, it should be met with criticism. It's no deeper than that. It's weird that you take it so personally.

>>713142069
>everyone loves DK64
Look man, I love DK64 and have never been shy to say it, which is why I can very easily tell you that is absolute bullshit. The consensus has long been that it's an unwieldy, overblown inferior Banjo, so while I'm personally happy to see DK64 get some love in recent days it's disingenuous to say that love was ever universal.

>>713174429
but they aren't just criticizing the change, they're lashing out at every single thing they can think of, despite the only "bad thing" being DK's eyebrows.

>>713174470
>they're not just criticizing it, they're being detailed about it!!!

>>713164865
Or Mario 64
Or Banjo Kazooie
Or DK 64
Or Conker
Or any 3D Platformer collect-a-thon that has existed since the the genre was first invented. Shitters are just being intentionally obstinate.

>>713141529 (OP)
What is it with this retard that keeps calling Bananza a Zelda clone? He's been spamming it for days now

>>713149289
the term is actually gaslamp and it refers to old gaslamps people used to gather under and converse, eventually them fumes would affect their mind and cause delusion etc and misonformation would begin to be spread/gossiped
gaslight is a recent misnomer attributed to a vehicles low fuel light

>>713174470
his eyebrows are the ONLY bad thing you've noticed? jesus christ

>>713167706
Nintendo won't pay him enough

>>713142301
This. Why are there suddenly so many pedos on this website now? Pokemon theeads are borderline unreadable

>>713141774
That's not what OP implied at all.

>>713142069
Why does it take so much from Odyssey and switch Zelda then?

>>713141529 (OP)
>Why is Nintendo so insistent on making all these different properties into the exact same game?
because the game design that copies minecraft and fortnite sells well among zoomers, simple as. you will never get a traditional zelda game, get over it.

>>713174010
Complaints how about he looks are up there with Chris-chan bitching about Sonic. The real complaints are about how the game is generic as fuck with the skill trees and equipment for stat bonuses.

>>713175593

even this meme is a decade old now. and really? pokemon fags? the fanbase that's been jerking it to misty for 30 years, you're just now realizing that about them?

Yeah it does look fun but it's a timed power-up, most parts of the game you'll just be slowly walking as DK or talking to not-Rare googly eyed stone creatures

This was an issue with odyssey, but DK fixes it with 2d roll and the turf surf

>>713149597
It literally is the same gameplay all that has been added is terrain destruction and skill points.

>>713176594
What? No one sent me here; I decided to try "the asshole of the internet" after being banned from Reddit.

>>713176796
monke always wins

>>713177020
People are certainly more honest here, that's for sure. What did you get banned for on Reddit?

>>713141529 (OP)
but it's not open world

>>713177116
I more or less got dogpiled/mass reported for a comment I made in a thread about a black guy stabbing a r
Ring doorbell camera. I tried appealing but no answer yet.

I’m going to buy it and enjoy it on some level even if it sucks dick because I like Donkey Kong. Simple as.

>>713147234

>>713177768
Good thing that the game will be amazing, then. EPD Tokyo have literally never made a bad game. Judge them by their track record.

>unironically complaining we didn't just get another 2D DK

Bro, it's 27 years since the last 3D DK and 8 years since Mario Odyssey. Please shut the fuck up.

>>713147234
kek

>>713177954
This is what I'm saying. It's a new 3D Donkey Kong. Why is /v/ so cynical?

Aghhhhhh I'm being rewarded for exploring the large levels! Help me sony! Make the levels a straight line where you just continuously move forward! Aghhhhhh!

>character is bear gay instead of twink gay.
What a weird thing to say anon

>>713142184
This is the first world and this is a fun reward for bothering to check the inside of the pipe. What exactly is the problem?
I'd personally prefer if this banana location was replaced with a shrine entrance so it's more substantial in terms of content but I don't mind just getting the reward for bothering to look. This is a game for all ages after all.

>>713177854
I think it will be good, I wasn’t a huge fan of Odyssey but I still enjoyed playing through it once. I’m just saying that I’m riding with my boy Donkey Kong through thick and thin.

>>713147234
lmao

>>713148529
It's gonna be like odyssey where the main collectables are just gonna be found lying around instead of being more complex missions like in 64/galaxy/sunshine.

>>713178271
I also wasn't super keen on Odyssey however my problems are personal and more subjective. Most of my friends love it and it sold very well so I think it's safe to say that it delivered successfully for the majority of people.
And I enjoyed playing Odyssey to completion twice so for all my griping the game is still great.

>>713178032
Years of the "/v/ hates video games" meme conditioning the ever-growing deluge of newfags to reactionarily shit on any-and-everything because they think that's what they're expected to do. It's always been this way, it's only gotten worse year over year, and it will only continue to get worse.

>>713142184
Gay. Like odyssey, completely unsatisfying to collect. Getting a kong letter in DKC is more of an accomplishment.

Donkey Kong was ruined when they dropped his monkey screech sound effects in favor of an untalented human going "ooo ooo ahh ahh" without any audio effects or editing at all.

They gave it a half-assed attempt with the Korok uber quests

>>713141804
Nintendo has been a shambling corpse ever since the E3 where they brought out that gel-haired poo to spaz out with Wiimotes pretending like he's playing the drums.

>botw go anywhere

they have no identity. not just the game, but the young developers at nintendo have literally no identity or creative bone themselves

>>713167706
Nintendo actually hates Wario and Waluigi. When I visited Super Nintendo World last winter, there was literally zero merch from him. I asked the clerk why, and he said Wario just wasn't that popular among Japs.

I got all 999 moons on odyssey on yuzu emulator and the only shit part of it was having to google the picture guessing locations because that shit sucks dick and there was a few challenging moons to get as well.

>>713141529 (OP)
Because Nintendo thinks everygame can be a BOTW clone with fortnite grafics and sell Billions

>>713187049
They're probably right, but only because they are Nintendo and anything they produce will be praised by default. But they'll erode everything that made the company great, in the process.

>>713141529 (OP)
Pretty standard. I know, I know, video games are stale and boring now.

>>713186530
And people shit on anything Nintendo makes solely because it's Nintendo. But that's not what he posted.
