This mischievious smile like he's about to rob someone is like his default face when running and I don't get it

Animation for the sake of animation, same reason they made the MK World drifting look distranctingly stupid.

Mayne things back in the day were only so good because of limitations.

>>713776681 (OP)
did you not watch the mario movie

>>713776861
why did they give him nigga lips

>>713776917
Bananza DK is supposed to be the awful movie DK?

>>713777668
he's really rotating through a bunch of retarded faces the whole time

>>713776681 (OP)
RAPEy kong.

it was from "The Super Mario Bros. Movie. " they tried to give him a more edgy, pushing the boundaries type personality

>>713776681 (OP)
This game's biggest problem is the ugly soulless levels and that it apparently takes place in some stupid underground world where everything is random. It doesn't even mesh well with the gameplay because destroying completely generic geometry you can't relate to isn't very satisfying. Destroying entire realistic buildings in Battlefield is cool.

>>713779421
I fucking hate Illumination.

Nintendo is trying to distance themselves from Rare's DK :nerd:

>>713779421
That'd be pretty stupid given he's a villain in the movie till later and in the game he's clearly the hero and both a bit of a wimp as well as a simp. The asshole face feels very out of place

>>713780263
some autists seriously say this but the entire game is a love letter to donkey kong country and the only reason they changed dk's look is miyamoto autism

>>713776681 (OP)
what is he going to rob them of

>>713781018
He is the noob. Shit players like equalizers because they profit from them.

>>713776681 (OP)
Because you're a faggot

>>713779421
They clearly aren't the same design.

>>713780794
Miyamoto isn't working on this game nor did he ever care or he would have changed the design years ago.
Hell, he had the opportunity to do it for the movie and they used a design closer to the Rare one.

Literally 2 seconds in google

Nintendo must be pretty retarded to let 70 year olds call important shots like that

Let's be honest here. Rare's DK design would look weird with what's otherwise Mario Odyssey's visual aesthetic, especially if he's holding a young girl the whole time.

>>713781018
anal virginity

>>713784006
but the levels look like shit too and the girl makes no sense and just exists to attract women and pedophiles. the whole game is wrong

>>713779720
Looks like a graphics bug

>>713784356
>but the levels look like shit too
They just look like Mario Odyssey levels to me, for better or worse, despite this being on a newer generation of hardware.

>>713784923
Haven't seen anything on the same level as Odyssey artistically. Doubt anyone who worked on Odyssey works on this game sans 5 code monkeys.

You're right, I love DKC1 and 2 but the change is necessary. It just doesn't fit what the franchise is going for at this point.
While unlikely, I am still holding out for some kind of K Rool lore.

I was starting to hate DK because of Seth Rogan's AWFUL voice work on him. Now? He looks like a giant spastic. This is a design that'll be a HIT with girls and incredibly young boys (age 4~).

>>713785224
I don't like the guy either but I don't understand why people don't get the hilarity of him voicing DK.

>>713784356
>but the levels look like shit too
This. Make the game actually look like Donkey Kong and Rare Donkey Kong will match the aesthetic lol

>>713785321
I don't even know who Seth Rogan was when I watched the movie. All I saw was more than half of the Kong cast sounding nothing like how they look.

Granted, the voice casting in general was terrible. Felt like only Jack Black was actually putting on a voice, and even it felt out of character for Bowser.

>>713776681 (OP)
It's just not DK to me. Like I've specifically started associating the redesign with Donkey Kong Jr. The DK we love and know is just off on vacation somewhere.

>>713778386
Yeah.
They're milking Cal-Art bean style.
Even the Wii U had decent artstyles

>>713785392
For me it was pretty much what I wanted from a Mario movie. I wanted it weird, it's not as weird as the 90s movie, but strange enough. I agree though, Jack Black killed it. They could have him be an official voice for Bowser in the games.

What's weird is that the new design is barely different in 2D, it's only the 3D model that goes full retard for some reason.

>>713786391
I find the upper lip crease a very odd choice.

>>713776681 (OP)
He was always ugly and unlikable

>>713776681 (OP)
One Piece, that's why.
