it's literally impossibly hard to fake that many screenshots

>>715441953
Was that why the last thread got nuked?

>>715442016
It got nuked because faggot OP called it a general

>>715442016
No, it got nuked because of /dkb/
No generals on /v/

>>715441976
>>715441865

I'm pretty confident K Rool is in the game.
They're just dubious because they are.
There's four of them, and they could be easily AI-generated composite or otherwise.

>>715441953
You do realize people can file false copyright takedowns right.

I missed it, what screenshots?

>>715441865
>that many
the whole 0 of them

>>715442182
There’s at least 8 or 9

>>715442180
>one of a fully revived kremling
>one of a fully revived stinger
>one of the "bananza root" that looks like K Rool's belly
>one of a new render of K Rool holding some banandium

all relatively convincing, but all very ai-doable

>>715442180
Some of K. Rool and various DKC enemies. Most in shakey camera tier quality.

>>715442281
if those were ai screenshots, then we are officially cooked as humans, fr fr, no cap

I checked the screenshots and it appears that they were taken from a discord stream, explaining the shit quality

Send da video (K Rool)

Theres an image comparing a shot in the direct showing the banandium core backround and comparing it to the k rool image and its literally the same area. Its not fake.

KAOS my beloved

>>715442484
or they just generated/drew a K Rool render and pasted it on top

>>715441951
Nah, dropping almost a dozen never-before-seen photos 3 days before release and having info line up with existing media is extremely difficult and the renders seem way too coherent for AI

>>715442530
Yeah sure not even the same angle as the direct

>>715441739 (OP)
So, has there been any definitive proof about what Pauline’s deal is?

>>715442620
>having info line up with existing media is extremely difficult and the renders seem way too coherent for AI

this is horseshit
theres no "existing media" to line up with
and ai is very capable of generating this stuff, especially with multiple iterations and compositing

>>715442382
And nobody thought to record this mythical discord stream? Even a few seconds? Bullshit.

AI would fuck up spelling TNT on the klobbers barrel and AI users would be too lazy to clean that up.

>>715442259
>but my mom won't let me show you

>>715442791
all they need is some footage from the demo at a store to draw or ai generate on top of

So any confirmation for what's going on with Pauline's age?

>>715442709
There are literally millions of images from Direct content, Treehouse, demos, etc. Give me a solid answer for how the K Rool belly/Banadium Root matches with existing background shots with Pauline from a different angle while still having a geometrically coherent design for some unique art asset Nintendo made for this game. The only weird thing to me is how there seems to be two types of Zingers and they look nothing alike

>>715443016
>Give me a solid answer for how the K Rool belly/Banadium Root matches with existing background shots
how about you post them first faggot if you want us to be convinced

>>715443016
The 2nd one looks like a red zinger in that leaked image

>>715442620
Is this your first pre-release period for a Nintendo game? Nothing has been shown that proves it isn't fake.

>people doubting dkvine
Easy way to expose yourself as a newfag

>>715443016
>Give me a solid answer for how the K Rool belly/Banadium Root matches with existing background shots
If you can verify that it works with existing background shots that means the fake leakers could as well.

>>715442281
Looks like he's holding Void Kong's banana phone.

welp, saw the screens

bummer that got out pre release

>>715443242
Prove it came from DK Vine and you're not just repeating what someone else said. You can't.

HIRE THIS CROC

>>715442502
that’s gotta be real, the style and cadence of he descriptions matches nintendo-written originally-japanese text too well

>>715441739 (OP)
But I thought nobody had a Switch 2?

>>715443242
>I AM REALLY LOYAL MASTER
why are jeets like this?

we already know the kremlings are in, this guy confirmed it a while back, he has a load of ties to Retro and shit
whether K. Rool is in or not is still up in the air. the alleged screenshot of him looks like a toy, especially with the way the shoulder connects to the arm

>>715442502
>15 layers
the fuck, I thought there was only like 5 or so

Anybody still insisting the screenshots are AI are the faceblind phenotype of autist thats omega mad other people can recognize AI slop on sight.

The fact that an elephant bananza transformation icon was shown in one of the cropped screenshots is proof enough for me that shit is either real, or made by someone autistic enough to comb through all of the content on Nintendo's websites to get ideas. There was a single screenshot on one of Nintendo's websites that's a stormy-looking layer with elephant faces carved into the cliffside that I haven't seen anyone talk about, which is probably where the player will get elephant bananza.

>/DKB/
Generals are not allowed on this board, not even for tendie faggots like you.

My advice?
Better clog your intestines with lubricant when it's time to BEND. OVER.

>>715442083
and/or if the leaks are real, the other thread had the spoiler in the OP. and posting spoilers breaks a rule.

>>715443471
@grok is this real?

>>715443016
The ones in the Bramble Blast recreation are called Buzzoids, the Zinger equivalent to the Crockoids.

>>715443643
The elephant transformation fits, but the snake one is stranger.
We’ve seen the rocks with eyes shaped into animal like forms.
They seem to be the transformed residents of layers, and each layer also having an elder guardian of the same species that gifts the transformation.

If that pattern holds, it would might make more sense for that last form to be a giraffe not a snake. We have rock forms in the shape of giraffes and elephants and zebras, but no snakes

>K. Rool unextincting the Kremlins was a real leak
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

>>715443591
Ten bucks says there's also going to be a postgame "layer" aboveground that's just DK Isles.

What killed the kremlings? Kinda weird they all flat out died

have you guys all unironically bought a switch 2? or waiting to pirate?

>>715443059
Alright open wide you fucking baby:
https://www.youtube.com/live/YVUidGTR8xg?si=RpcdiAbAzOwVrDsu go to 17:00 mark and compare that against https://imgur.com/mQ0hqOx which no one else has fucking hit on and also a so dumb it's believable twist of K. Rool's belly being the core

>>715443312
How much time does a leaker take to make fake images? The direct came out less than a month ago and if these were faked waiting 3 days until release means you have the chance of the whole thing fizzling if the game does actually leak before then

>>715443218
When's the last time a high-profile Nintendo game didn't leak this close to release? Not even TotK lasted this long

>>715443891
You got sauce for this or just speculating

>>715444112
The same thing that killed the Dinosaurs, The Ice Age

>>715443643
What powers will the elephant form have?

>>715444112
>What killed the kremlings?

>>715444294
If Ellie is any indication the power to succ.

>>715444068

>>715444112
K rool is like an ant queen and the rest are sterile. All kremlins come from his big gold mpreg belly.

>>715444294
maybe the ability to shoot water/mud out of his trunk to erode or create terrain
maybe just a large sustained trumpet blast that breaks up rock without having to punch

>>715444326
The Kongs funny enough.
They wiped out their home island, taking most of the Kremlin population down to the sea depths.
Reptilian genocide.

>>715441739 (OP)
I was quite unimpressed when I heard the game has performance drops. I mean come on Nintendo? This is your first big game for the new console. No, Mario Sharts doesn't count.

Can someone re itterate what the leaker said about the finale of the game. It came down to something like ''Best finale in years, moveset a medley of his smash moveset, etc''

>>715444558
Sure, now how does a shopper/AI peddler put in the effort to make a believable image and have the foresight to drop it 3 days before release when it's confirmed street date has been broken while still remaining relevant? Are we dealing with some mastermind here or is the game leaking?

>>715444810
Don't cry if a jannie delete the thread then

Op just shouldn't call it a general. Yes I agree it's a dumb rule it would avoid threads of the same game.

>>715445208
the op doesn't call it a general
just has the /dkb/ convention

jesus just about the fucking monkey game man
the more you cry the more likely they feel the need to act on it

>loyalist Switchfags made a big show about how they "never liked Rareware era DK anyway" when DK was shown to be redesigned for MKW/Bananza, and Bananza's officially released media mainly showed a focus on Arcade era references and original characters
>turns out Bananza has tons of Rareware era references too, including the grand non-Smash return of K. Rool and the Kremlings
This is the best of both worlds really: it's shaping up to be a great game AND for once Switch dicklickers get egg on their faces for reflexively disowning Nintendo's past.

>>715445070
The window for faking shit and actually having it work falls dramatically as release approaches and actual, bonafide information starts releasing. We know the game is in the wild. When's the last time you saw fakes less than a week before a major title's release that held up to scrutiny? Put some thought into this.

>>715445287
Maybe I overreacted a bit but they deleted last thread.

>>715446243

K Rool is in but which leaked ending is real

somebody saw those ugly fucking crystal things with unfitting googly eyes and thought the game was trying to erase rare from dk. wtf were people thinking

Looks like shitposting to me, and you are inferring things those posts don't actually say.>>715446254
>>715446254

>>715446432
Genuinely the moment I saw those I thought the game was Banjo-Threeie lol

>>715446519
It was one of the first shots of the game and I also thought it was a new banjo game.

Wizpig status?

If it is real, I hope K.Rool sings.

>>715446596
Looks fake

>>715446596
Wizpig leak is fake, seen that model before

>>715444294
IIRC someone in this secret DK discord said that the Elephant can suck and blow from the trunk and the snake is like Rattly and it also has a glare ability that can slow down time

>>715442281
They were real.

>>715446596
Microaoft owns Wizpig and it was an old render

Genuinely like what the fuck would be the point of releasing faked images like this 3 days before release when at any minute now we could get a verifiable leak that would immediately throw all of that time and effort out the window. If these images started dropping even a week or so ago, then maybe I’d entertain the idea of them being a hoax, but at this point it’s all lining up too well, ESPECIALLY if they’re coming from DKVine, they’d never create fakes like this unless they wanted to throw away 20 years of credibility for a 3 day long gag at their core audience’s expense.

>>715441739 (OP)
can someone link that one video on the seething of k rool in smash

DK will wish for a world where his friends can eat as many bananas as they want.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6aDS_cYe-o

On the supposed design for K Rool in this game, what do you think of it? (pic is not it) I think I would rate it higher than the Paon design, but a bit under the Smash one honestly. I still think the DK64 renders had the best look and I wish they would let his eyes undo the divorce but japan seems to not like designs like that (which is weird because they rejoined DK's eyes so like why) The nostrils are also a little pronounced for my liking but everything else seems good.

But overall I think I am okay with it. It looks much better from the side than from the front I think, much like the Paon design the face is just a little too fat and bowsery imo but it doesn't look bad. Scales are maybe a little oddly square but that's fine, the core design is pretty good and my qualms are mostly minor. 6/10.

>>715442281
The K Rool one looks fake as fuck.

>>715443471
man that kritter is hot

>>715447285
BLIMEY THAT'S A RIGHT RIOT THERE

>>715447289
We don’t know for sure if it’s from their server, but either way point still stands. AI is good and all but these don’t reek of AI, so if they’re faked they were done manually and it seems pretty fucking stupid to peddle fakes after we already know the game is in people’s hands.

>>715446808
The same reason people have done the same shit for Nintendo games in the past?

>>715442281
The thing that convinced me was that they were all Paon's designs. If it were fake, they would all be made to look more like their rareware designs.
For some reason Nintendo has adopted those games designs specifically as the standard designs for them. I know Rambi looks more like his rare design, but he never changed in those games.

>>715447163

Prominent tail makes it BTFO of Smash render. I just don't like how plasticky he looks

>>715442281
He's not holding Banandium. He's holding Void Kong's wand. I mean, the wand could be made of Banandium, but I doubt that AI is going to be able to perfectly replicate that darn thing just from prompt alone.

Okay, but when was the last time it happened lol

>>715447883

>>715448118
>Retard can't read
Sad

>>715447486
It looks great honestly. I mean it’s hard to beat the 64 renders for me, but the new one looks like a slightly more homogenized version of the Smash design (which itself is great) with a few key differences. I’ll have to reserve my judgments until I see it in motion though

>>715447910
Yeah, I think that's how I would put it too, the scales look plastic which I think is consistent with the rendering of the game's art direction. Maybe they were trying to emulate the silicon graphics look, not sure. IIRC they wanted him to have his full tail back in smash, but it made his hurtbox even bigger than before so they amputated.

>>715447971
AI derangement syndrome has made people forget that people can make bullshit themselves.

>>715447910
I just wish we had a better image of his tail

I'm more excited with the OST recording

So tell me: How many of you would fuck DK or K Rool? Or both? I want to see something.

>>715448352
Zebra Bananza

>>715448352
I'm not a furfag or a baranigger

>>715448187
True, it might look better in motion. It does sort of look like an amalgamized version, more cartoony than the smash one which is good for a guy who is basically a Looney Tunes character.

>>715448352
I’d fuck you

>>715448323
Same but I am also hoping K. Rool does come back because if that gangplank galleon remix thing is true I'm gonna listen to that god damn song until I get absolutely sick of it

>>715448382
fuck, you just reminded me
>snake bananza is a thing
>hemipeni DK

>>715448352
Nah man, DK and K. Rool are too grandfather-clause to feel sexual towards. I'd use Void Kong as a fleshlight, though.

>>715447918
You do realize that people made decent fakes long before AI existed, right? Oldfags like me are chuckling when the shit we used to call shoops is now always assumed to be AI.

>>715442281
Didn't somebody save and upload them here?

>>715448352
hate barafaggots

>>715448352
I've never been sexually attracted to K Rool despite my absurd fanboying for him, nor DK (especially not pre bananza DK) I think having sex with either of them would traumatize me.

>>715448186
The only one making new qualifiers is you my friend. Show me any major Nintendo release that got competent fakes dropped 3 days before street date and I'll consneed

>>715448248
shitty shoops are never in good resolution

>>715446735
You telling me the elephant form is going to have weirder fanart than the snake?

>>715448248
Why are these Discord faggots so determined to make all their screencaps low quality shit? Why not take a ton of them and upload them in batches to prove it's not AI? Fuck, why not take a FUCKING VIDEO? RAAAAAHHHHH

>>715448650
>>715448672
What was the last time you went to your switch's screenshot menu? Now would be a good time

>>715448352
Neither because I'm not faggot. I think they are cool as fuck, but give me Kalypso or Tiny if I have to to fuck someone.

>>715448198
I'll give it a chance to settle, but could just be an art direction thing. Understandable why they had to drop the tail a bit in Smash.
>>715448248
I just need to see the big boi in action

>>715448530
Obviously, but this is pretty clean for a fake. Most would be using blury photos to hide artifacts and other shit. The only reason I believe this is real is the shot of the Banandium Root. I've seen it enough times from various angles in the commercials to know it had a dome and I've not seen anyone talk about it. It isn't a good angle of attack, could have done any other way.

>>715447486

Uh, try again sweetie.

>>715448760
I know Switch sceenshots are low res, that's not the point, the point is that almost everything that's been posted is cropped and blurry. How fucking hard would it be to take 10 screencaps of a cutscene with K. Rool in it and upload them UNEDITED AND UNCROPPED to verify that these pics are real? The only reason this hasn't happened is these Discordtards are desperate for fake internet attention and want people kissing their feet for just a crumb more. It's so frustrating.

I don't really have an opinion on whether it's fake or not, I just find it funny that newfags think that AI is some gamechanger for fake screenshots when we've been seeing good ones for going on three decades now. It's like they all just forgot you can manually do this and it isn't even that hard.

K. Rool is my #1 husbando, but I would not fuck him, I just wanna be platonic with him. Rub his belly, massage his feet/back, bring him food, help him with his schemes to defeat DK/conquer, etc.

This muh secret club shit is so goddamn gay. This is an anonymous image board, if you upload leaks from a legally obtained video game coming out in 3 days nobody is going to fucking care. You're probably right about what happened, I just think the fact that the leakers are being so anal about this at all is pointless and retarded.

Somehow tikis were ok but Krocs needed an ancient lore reason behind them

>>715449319
If this is real I'm somewhat disappointed that he didn't get another disguise, but I suppose that's to be expected when he hasn't been in a game for 20 years. I was hoping he'd end up as the CEO of Void Corp or something with some over the top evil businessman aesthetic.

>>715449407
Bananza is essentially a switch 1 game

>complaining about leaks being low res

>>715449543
He's getting a pharaoh disguise in his fight.

>>715449543
he has a disguise

>>715449543
He did get another disguise:
>King K. Root

>>715449521
It's fucking DK Vine. To the majority of people like that, not only do they not want to have Nintendo's ire on their back for allowing leaks to happen, which will lead to less stuff coming their way, but they are typical Nintendo dick suckers and don't want people to have the game "ruined" for them by having the end of the game spoiled.

>>715449469
cacomallow's different, hell of a lot easier to fake leak on a game that's already released

>>715449543
It'll still probably be like that. You'll have the Void Corp employees talk to him while he's covered in shadow before the reveal; then when the CEO finally shows himself at the core, it'll be the reveal

>>715449346
>>715449402
>>715449431
>>715449493

Yeah... Keep telling yourselves that...

You want me to accept defeat? Wait until someone manages to unlock the debug functions in SSBU and shows that the info shown is exactly like the one in the pic.

Theres NO WAY IN HELL, much less with such a high profile project, helmed by one of the most paranoid directors out there on par with kojima, that someone managed to take a dev screen of the game, period. And unless someone can prove it with access to debug, that pic is and always will be, fake.

>>715449639
>It's fucking DK Vine.

Prove it. You can't.

reminder
snake bananza is focused on time powers, or at least involving glaring enemies to slow them
elephant bananza is like FLUDD
>>715449695
it also has a trappings of the typical "fan leak"

>>715449761
anon you do realize that was taken waaay before the game came out right? and it came from a jap too. there's a reason that's the only type of leak that came out during Ultimate

>DK Vine
I mean, probably, but nobody has been able to prove that, and even if it's true all the DK Vine guys have to do is lay low and not acknowledge it and everyone will have forgotten about it in a week. Again, this isn't like the Smash or TOTK leaks where the full game was emulated weeks before release. This is a legally obtained copy and the game comes out in three days. Stop with the attention whoring and post a single batch of fucking screenshots for crying out loud.

>>715449910

The only retards here ate those who still believe someone from bamco/sora/nintendo who worked in the game wanted to destroy his career by taking a pic right in the middle of development of one of the most influential projects of the decade.

If that were the case, that guy must be now dead, run over by truck-kun in the middle of some street while he was drunk out of his ass, lamenting his decision, right after nintendo fired him, took away every cent he owned and his wife left him for breaking the law!

THERE WAS NO LEAKS FOR ULTIMATE, PERIOD!

>>715449637
I still think it's weird that K Rool's beer belly became his defining trait to Nintendo, it wasn't at all in the Rare games.

>>715449543
>I was hoping he'd end up as the CEO of Void Corp or something with some over the top evil businessman aesthetic.
He apparently eats Void Kong so he is technically the boss of Void Corp now.

>>715450031

Why are you so adamant about this, to the point of outright denying reality? Very odd post. You don't sound well.

>>715450352
Was the grinch "leak" ultimate or smash 4? That was an embarrassment for leakfags.

>>715450523
I found it in previous threads

>>715450242
They really love that big fat belly kek

>>715449637
I don't get what this is implying. K. Rool is the root? His belly is the root? His belly is made out of banandium? What the fuck is the "banandium root" anyway, has it been mentioned at all in pre-release materials?

>>715450242
I feel like they didn't really have much of a choice. Like, anyone can wear a cloak or a crown; and they can't really a bloodshot eye be the focus of a character. So all that's left is the stomach

>>715442281
>but all very ai-doable

>>715450285
anon that was a fake leak made by a vorefag you dummy

>>715450564
It was for Ultimate. And yes, sure, it was an embarrassment, but at the time it was the most airtight fake leak Smash had ever seen. Tons of details lined up perfectly. It's hard to blame people for falling for it. I certainly did.

>>715450665
>What the fuck is the "banandium root" anyway, has it been mentioned at all in pre-release materials?
Yeah, it's what the presumed leader of Void Co. rants that he'll capture first during the trailer.

>>715450665
I imagine this game is going to imply there's some kind of insane magic power to K Rool and that's how his gold armor is able to deflect DK's blows in 1 and how he can just magically boomerang his crown around, the gold is straight up kremling dark magic shit. He's about to get a massive leap on the power scale.

>>715450703
Nintendo would never use that for the plot

>>715450665
>has it been mentioned at all in pre-release materials?
it's the main mcguffin, it's in the core and it grants wishes

>>715450242
It’s kinda like how wario became le epic fart man.

>>715450779

>>715450868
He was always le funny fart man in Japan

>>715450665

K. Rool’s belly armor is made from Banandium.

Eh, it'll be like Mario, everything just runs on toon power so you don't been to explain shit.

>>715450242
Smash Bros was the first game that actually made his belly a mean of attack and defense and now I do wonder if Smash was basing it on Bananza concept art or if Bananza took the idea from Smash.
If you look at his counterattack his belly has a banandium-like glow.

>>715450665
Banandium root doesnt exist and its just krool napping with his belly sticking out

>>715450131
I was a member there for years. The community started imploding a while back. It was always a fairly ban happy place, with egotistical moderators and a clique of “insider” members. They just slowly drove everyone away over the years, then started banning each other.

Then the forum infrastructure crashed and they lost basically everything. The forums are still up now but all the old threads are gone. It’s a little sad, I had a lot of memories tied up with the place. They still run the old Kongversation podcast though.

I don’t post there any longer, haven’t in about a decade. But I occasionally check up on how things are.

>>715450887
So basicall picrel but K Rool?

>>715450940
The poster said that you hear void Kong scream and then a crunch. That's way too graphic

>>715451235
Many such cases.

>>715450703
I'm not a fucking vorefag

>>715451178
that would be funny
what's that circle around his belly though? some kind of portal that let's you look at the root? maybe K. Rool got there first and ate it

>>715451339
Can't be graphic you they don't show you

>>715451043
I'm glad someone else here remembers that journey. Wish I still had all the OC made during it.

>>715451456
Can't be graphic if* they don't show you

>>715451456
For a kids game? It most certainly is

>>715451418
Then why insert that detail

>>715451557
It's funny.

So this is the game's equivalent of Odyssey's playable Bowser moment? I mean yeah it's cool, but it would be way more striking if we didn't have Smash as a precedent

>>715451531
Last direct ended with Pauline being vored and Dk trying to save her...

>>715451646
No, because it's not a playable K Rool. It's a twist villain K Rool. But the leaks are fake anyway.

>>715449319
>>715449426
I really don't know if these are real but >>715449637
Does seem real

>>715448352
I main DK in every game he's in and I love K. Rool's design. Fortunately, I'm naturally repulsed by homosexuality and find bara to be one of the worst kinds of it.

>>715451665
You are retarded if you think DK doesn't save her there

Don't forget to thank them for Bananza existing!

>>715441739 (OP)
So I'm assuming this game is going to have a "Blood Moon" mechanic to reset all the worlds from the damage you're constantly inflicting on them and keep the data-buildup from getting too big.

>>715451783
Of course he saves her retard. I'm saying that showing vore or not was never the problem because it's made for kids.

>>715451665
Swallowed by an eelevator=/=butten into by crocodile

>>715450665
The golden belly of K Rool is a set of armor.

They're gonna retcon it to be made out of banandium, and his theft of bananas the pursuit of banandium as a useful material.

>>715451854
There’s an option on the pause menu to reset the terrain of your current layer.

>>715451646

Kaiju fight with Bananza K. Rool and Dong constantly knocking each other further and further away from the core until DK punches K. Rool out of the planet and into the moon’s core where the fight continues.

>>715451901
They don't even show K.rool eating void Kong. Why a tier list of vore needs to be made?

>>715451942
Can't trust the player to not forget about it, though, so I imagine the game will force an immediate reset if there's too much going on at once that the system can't take it.

>>715448352
I want this:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3975938/1/Donkey-Kong-and-the-Quest-for-the-Vagina-Tree

I'm surprised leaks only came out yesterday, the game shipped to stores on last Thursday.

>>715452021
Its the crunch that was described you fucking retard

>>715452110
It only leaked because some gay member from a gay Dk discord shared what wasn't supposed to be shared.

>>715451951
One part of why I dont necessarily believe the leaks, is because we haven't seen any New Donk City.

There are boxes with NDC labels, and if Pauline and/or deaged and amnesia'd from Time Void magic, it would implicitly be from an attack on NDC.

It would be cool if K Rool's fossilized remains were beneath New Donk City, an "alligator in the sewers" kinda joke.

And then a finale in New Donk City whe you get get to Kajiu it out against a giant reptile in a cityscape, destroying voxel buildings, ala Kong v Godzilla.

But nothing at all of the city yet.

It makes too much sense to want to climb and punch through buildings and knock them over.

I have a theory that all the leak deniers are butthurt Ashleyfags who were btfo during Smash Ultimate's pre-release hype cycle where they started shit with K. Rool fans only for him to make it into the game while their loli witch was an assist trophy. They never got over it, and the non-existant possibility of these leaks being fake is their last hope at getting revenge on damn dirty K. Roolfags.

>>715452138
I don't think kids will have nightmares because of crunch sounds but whatever...

>>715452250
New Donk would only fit in Bananza as a post game area.

>>715452250

The fight winding up on the moon would also tie it to Odyssey

I'd be surprised since it's Nintendo, but word is that there were a lot of actual DKC fans on the dev team, so maybe. I wonder what the oldfags at Rare would think about someone giving rationale to their excuse plot? I know the guy who invented K Rool thinks his name is shit now.

A 3D DK game was in development by activision, it got canned and then the 3D Mario team started development on it instead.
It's why there's been no new DK game for over a decade.

>>715446830
I mean anyone who thought this would be better than E33 was insane. Still looks like a lot of fun though

After DK's Skylanders appearance, Vicarious Visions pitched a 3D Donkey Kong game to Nintendo with a tree surfing gimmick and Pauline as a Jane Goodall-esque ally, but Activision ended up killing the project.

>>715452729
Vicarious Visions you mean
Activision doesn't make their own games, they rely on devs they own or enlist

Metacritic and opencritic predictions?

nobody wants to play mindless button mashing destruction shit with frame drops and a le epic twist only 40 year olds give a fuck about

>>715452908
Supposedly the controls are slightly unintuitive, from people who played the demo.
Nintendo moved the jump button around to a new one, though you can move back to a standard in the control options.
And there are three buttons for punching up/down/forward or something.

Journalists will basedface at the mario odyssey style format and "nintendo history", but might get filtered by marginally new control scheme.

I'm thinkin low 90s, maybe even high 80s.

>>715453045
fag

>>715453028
Because hollow earth is more entertaining

>>715453083

If you're going to do the second thing why not set the game aboveground? This game's broad progression concept (going deeper and deeper into the planet with the core as the final goal) is awesome and I'm bummed that they're not capitalizing on the underground aesthetic fully.

>>715452110
yeah, but most stores aren't selling it early or have employees who'd be willing to steal a copy just to get some leaks a few days early

for switch leaks you'd just need one person willing to grab it, dump it, and then everyone would be able to leak it but without a switch 2 hack there's no motivation to do that since whoever steals it would need to play it and upload pictures themselves

>>715454848
And Diddy was friends with Conker and Banjo. Can't have shit like that nowadays.

>>715454939
they were btfo the moment the direct dropped. vtards need not apply.

>>715454665
That's what essentially most Journey to the West "omagues" are reduce to, tho. Including the arguably most popular of all, Dragon Ball, where Bulma is the Monk equivalent. On a waaaay lesser example Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, which indeed, is fully reduced to "Monkey like hero, escorts human". If anything, what's kind of Funny if Bananza ends hitting enough checkmarks to be part of the trend, is how the Monk almost always is played by a girl in this "homages".

>>715454293
Because they're humanoid

>>715454939
they were deconfirmed as soon the direct happened unless you are totally deaf

>>715454939
Of course not. It's complete schizo nonsense. If a corporate vtuber was involved in any project, then their name would be plastered all over the project to make sure the corps are happy with the brand recognition.

>>715453669
Have you ever heard of Journey to the Center of the Earth

>>715455157
it's not even cave shit, it's literally "Shell World" sci-fi slop.

>>715455120
>If a corporate vtuber was involved in any project, then their name would be plastered all over the project to make sure the corps are happy with the brand recognition.
I don't think Nintendo would be against getting a corpo vtuber to do a song, but I also think they wouldn't slap their face and involvement all over the marketing like other publishers probably would.

HE is in.

>>715454848

Resetera is autistically serious about this shit, if an established user lies about leaks the whole community shames them. Zero reason to do it unless it's true.

>>715454848
Not that crazy. Nintendo was puplishing the game after all, and Rare's original intent was Timber the Tiger to be the hero and face of the game, hell, if you read the story in the manual he kind of still is the "main character". But Nintendo went "yeah, we would preffer to actually sell some copies of this game up front, so here, put Diddy on the cover". It really wasn't all that different as to how Dinosaur Planet ended being a Star Fox game. Or how Retro's "action adventure new IP" become Metroid Prime. When working with Second Parties, specially third party ones, Nintendo usually don't trust giving them new IPs, so they will casually ask for them to use any "lesser" IP they have at the time. Diddy Kong is not Donkey after all (and a Rare creation at the end of the day), and Nintendo's views on Metroid, specially back then, are well known.

What's the /v/erdict?

>>715455468
Sounds like a fair insurance... Still, its fucking resetera.

Honestly, DKC is fugly as shit.
I doubt they thought it would succeed, and wouldnt need to care about Rare's designs.

Miyamoto himself famously dunked on how ugly it was.

Any prediction for the metacritic score boys?

>>715455547
not my dong

apparently HE is in

>>715455468
it's amazing that communal shaming in the 21st century is done to people that lie on message boards about whether a schizophrenic crocodile is in a game about an ape collecting bananas
what a world

>>715455604
DKC is the only game you actually have to play with a crt filter

>>715455608
Read the thread and ask something original next time.

>>715455223
there would be no point in nintendo paying more to hire a corporate vtuber to do the songs if they weren't gonna use them to advertise the game, at least a tweet confirmation on their account and advertising stream from the vtuber
they could just get pauline's usual voice actor to do the songs for them (which is what they did) for cheaper and side step the whole legal fuckery of rights ownership of the songs dealing with two other massive corporations

>>715455547
Soul and Soul

Yeah, it's keyed

>>715455547
I already got used to the new design. Took me a while, but I realize that what was bothering me at first, what's him wearing pants during the reveal.

>>715455547
it's actually pretty good but they need to stop having the tongue constantly be out

>>715455439
He's probably just a fossil like KAOS and Checkpoint Pig.

>>715455547
Not ideal, but DK did need an update, and this is affirmatively more expressive.
The fur almost certainly won't stick around, but will get worked on as it needs.

He looks awful with a flat fur texture, and they need to find some kind of balance with it that isn't a hyperreal every follicle kinda thing.

>>715455245
>Lanky makes an appearance just not allowed to say how
I wouldn't be surprised if it's some stupid shit like lanky being a balloon. I feel like this is what this odyssey team remembers of Lanky at this point.

>>715455245
>Lanky Kong makes an appearance
WHAT

>>715455681
While I hate the in-group nature of forums, they can be one of the last bastions of sincerity on the internet

>>715455547
The retro-new redesign from the movie and new games is actually closer to how a cartoon gorilla should work with the universe's proportions. The problem is that nintendo finds it hard to make other characters match the main ones (see new donkers being "relistic" humans) in the end, all humanoids and creatures in the Mario World should follow desing principals like the Mario Movie did. Humans look one way and all the animals and monsters of the world do, too.

>>715455765
>>715455776
its probably more of a "reference" than an "appearance"

pretty much every DK property has tons of reference

>>715455547
Only bad part about nuDK is the tongue hanging out and the CalArts smile, model is fine

Main reason I want the leaks to be true is for enemy variety. My biggest issue so far is that enemy variety looked really low and now that seems much better >>715455245

There had better be a DK Rap 2

>>715455765

Lanky’s Balloon World (starring Lanky as the balloon)

>>715455547
I REALLY don't like it in mario kart world. I don't really hate it in Bananza. I still think the old design is better overall (expressivecucks are wrong). He lost his big dumb ape aura that gave him a lot of his charm and I think this newer design is just a different personality. Like he's more like a shonen anime protag than a gorilla now. I can live with it but I don't think having the brow stiff was an actual issue.

What are you talking about? Pauline already got in as a main character above K Rool, that's more than enough to stick it to k rool tards. Not to mention at this point, DK's main rival is mario.

>>715455681
The fact that people on Resetera are so resistant to trash talk and having their feefees hurt ironically means that any insider info and leaks posted there will very likely be real. Somewhere like GAF, it would be much easier to post fake leaks and then laugh it off when people call you retarded because that's the forum culture. On Resetera it would be seen as gaslighting or some shit.

Using alternate universe sgenanigans to get both of them to live together as mother and daughter without telling them they're copies of each other and then plap plap plapping them both both together in sweaty steamy mother daughter threesome mating press creampie oyakodon sessions for all eternity.

If K. Rool was in the game and apparently eats the main villains, why the bait and Switch? You would think that if K. Rool was in the game, they’d show him off in the big direct for Bananza. But leakerfags want me to believe that he literally EATS the main villains in something that reads like it came off some vorefag’s deviant art page. K. Rool being in the game would have drove more interest and ultimately sales. Nothing about hiding that from fans does anything for Nintendo. All of the so called leaks could have easily been faked and it’s all the more strange that now all this time has passed and we STILL cant get a proper screenshot. Just tiny, doctored photos and now leakers are holding out because…reasons. Totally believable

>>715456342
K Rool if he real, more or less implies banandium is the source of Void/Time magic.
The same mechanism that revives K Rool from fossils, is implicitly the one that de-ages Pauline.

>>715455547
I like

>>715456391
The vore thing is bullshit, DK Vine poater just said he yeets Void Kong and that's the last you see of him

>>715456391
you will see in friday

>>715456271
People get banned all the time from resetera, the sight has also lost a ton of relevance. Someone getting banned from there is literally a nothingburger. Of course would be leaker would be willing to throwaway a burner account to get their 5 minutes of fake leaker fame.

>>715455547
My Kong

Seth Rogen

>>715456428
Or Nintendo can just cut the red tape and admit that Mario once smashed and banged.

>>715455742
yeah I’m fine with how he looks but his tongue is too big for his face. It looks like a dog

>>715456391
K. Rool eating Void Kong is a leak that originated here, none of the people with access to the real leaks have corroborated it and there's no reason to believe that it's true. The closest we've gotten is the pigfag on famiboards saying that K. Rool "yeets" Void which is zoomtard speak for "throws." He probably just throws him into a pit or something.

>>715456543
>he yeets Void Kong
Would be funny, I think he should punt the little bastard like a football.

>>715455547
Rare DK needed a redesign and got one but then they forgot to actually include it anywhere and made a new design

>>715456391
because void kong is boring as fuck? it's obvious there is a bigger villain behind him.

>>715456391

>if Dr. Wily is the villain, why the bait and switch?

>>715456543
The last you see of him so far*
He also said you'd fight K.Rool, but then also mentioned there's a final boss (didn't say whether you fight K.Rool again for the final boss)
Void Kong either comes back souped up as the final boss or is a post-game boss.

>>715456561
>a burner account
The person who posted this has over 7k posts and has been a member since 2017. Yes, you'd probably get banned for posting fake leaks, that's the point. Why would someone who's been on the site for 8 years throw away their account (or at the very least, reputation) for a day or two of attention? Use your brain.

>>715456236
That's the thing, rival. What most fans miss is the nemesis angle, like Bowser or Ganondor (Eggman and Willy for third pary equivalents). I will be the first to admit, Nintendo has gotten better each game, from the disgrace that were the Tikis, into a far more comepelling army like the The Snowmads, which biggest issue was how "one shot" the feel from the getgo... and the weird call on Retro's hyping Fredrik as some kind of big reveal, only to be exactly what he appeared to be. K. Rool conspiracies and leaks aside, Void Co already is already (design wise at least) the most charismatic group of Villains that they have put together since retiring the Kremlings, and if I'm to be brutally honest, if they would had debuted on Returns from the getgo, I wouldn't mind that much the lost of K. Rool. It would still be a little dissapointing, but it would had been a more solid distinction of "new age, new villains". The major issue now (again, ignoring leaks and conspiracies) is that after two one shot villain groups, Void Co already feels dissposable on the long run.

>>715456543
That doesnt really change anything. Why even bother having the monkeys in the first place. Why hide such a huge reveal when if it was shown at the direct the internet would have collectively lost their mind? Hiding this detail isnt going to sell more copies of Bananza. It just reads off as wishlist cope, playing on the hopes of people with strong nostalgia for the DKC games. None of it makes any sense.

Where are the videos? Where are the actual screenshots? The chinese guy already verified two timestamps, but nothing he’s shown indicates any huge spoilers.

>>715456391
I remember distinctly there were youtubers who suggested there be a bait and switch with the snowmads, seems to be a recurring idea among social media types.

>>715456391
If Bowser was in the game, why the bait and switch?
If Bowser Jr. was in the game, why the bait and switch?
If Ganon was in the game, why the bait and switch?

>>715455547

Literally my second nickle for /v/ trying to make Vore bait content out of none released games, after they tried to sell the same narrative with Trip and Fang on Sonic Super Starts. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

>>715455547

They will probably adjust it and it'll be alright

>>715456893
>Why even bother having the monkeys in the first place.

Why didn't Nintendo show off the Bowser capture in Odyssey pre-release? Why have any surprises in your narrative at all?

>>715456134
you’re obese and brown

>>715456924
what games are you talking about? most of those are comically obvious and ganon is treated as the satan figure rather than a twist villain.

>>715457000
>It didn't need to be.

Maybe on the N64 and even Gamecube era. But as the rest of the Mario Cast become more expresive each gen with minimal changes (even Bowser on Sunshine had a decent range) it became more like the meme of Morrigan's sprites.

>>715456861
Source or your mother sucks cocks.

>>715457119
Yeah. Exactly. I unironically think that looks fine. Funny, even.

>>715456614
And why do you believe these people again?
>the real leaks
They dont look very real to me. Zero time stamps, all tiny images (red flag because it’s much easier to hide small details that would expose it as blatantly fake) inconsistencies with the designs weve seen already, zero video, zero full sceeenshots. I saw fake shit like this all the time for Smash. Why did they stop leaking? Because they dont have anything more to show. When the streams start going live, those who fell for this are going to feel real stupid, and Im starting to think that’s the entire point of this.

>>715456391
Nintendo has been doing the surprise twist villain thing since conception

>>715457127
But bowser was shown to be in the game the whole time and capturing was a main mechanic.

>>715455547
Top is obviously good but bottom looks better and cooler whenever he's angry in particular
I also always found the idea (which I've mostly only seen here in fairness) that the new design is disrespectful to his character or whatever strange considering he's the worst character in the only Rare DKC he's playable in and jobs offscreen to an OC villain in the next two

>>715456861
So it's years after DKC 3 then? They keep making references to DKC games so I don't think it's all a big retcon.

>>715457004
It's probably the same guy funnily enough.

>>715455547
The old design is better but I concede that it just isn't very expressive. The permanently curved brow is limiting the only way to have old dk look surprised is to have his eyes shoot out of his skull.

>>715457192
You are so fucking retarded, man.

>le calarts
this is how you know the poster is autistic and has no idea what they’re talking about

>>715456896
There were so many cope theories about how the big Walrus was actually a big Krok. It’s a fucking cope. People hardly remember it now but beforehand theories like this were everywhere. Not because it was likely, but because it was what people wanted to hear.

>>715457117
Does Candy sit in the cuck chair.

>>715457246
And Bananza has constantly had nods to Rare's DKC including golden kremling-esque skeletons and crocodile stone reliefs since the initial reveal back in April.

>>715457328
so the old design isn’t better, got it

>>715457332
That’s literally all you can say. You dont have an argument. All of this reeks of fake shit, and now the leaks have magically stopped…for reasons Im sure.

Why do people with no experience in character design actually honestly believe that more expressive = more gooder? I made my character's eyes bigger and now their eyebrows fly off their skull when they are surprised. That's more expressive, so now it's better even though it looks worse aesthetically?

>>715451951
>they take the fight to the moon
>very brief shot of DK and Rool flying past Bowser, who is still moping on the moon in his groom outfit

>>715457493
Because DK is supposed to be goofy. In this context it IS better.
K.Rool isn't goofy, and his face doesn't allow for more expressions, because he doesn't need them.

>>715457493

we've seen this new dk have way more interesting expressions which FUNCTIONALLY LETS HIM COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH HIS NEW HUMAN COMPANION

They already did the Kaiju battle thing for Bowser’s Fury. That was the whole underlying theme for that game, Kaiju battles. I would imagine DK has a lot more interesting stuff going on than some cheap gimmick like that.

>>715457480
Fine, open wide faggot, here comes the airplane:

>even if the images are cropped, they're far too clean, AI would fuck up details like model consistency and text
>they're not clear images because they were screencaps taken from a discord stream and that's unironically harder to fake
>there are no more leaks because the leaker finished the game
Next you're going to say:
>I-IT'S FAKE! ANYONE COULD DO IT!
Okay, so do it.

>>715455547
I think it was a bit weird to suddenly throw out the old design right when they make a themepark using it, but that aside, the new design is genuinely really fucking good. I know people have qualms about him looking less "blocky" and thus leaning into the more rounded shape language of modern mascots, but his angrier expression in Bananza show that he can still carry that aura very naturally without compromising on expressiveness elsewhere like the old design admittedly did with its constantly furrowed brow.

>>715457748
I mean, that was THE Gimmick for Bowser's Fury, sure. But it's not the gimmick for Bananza. Terra froming, digging, and the transformations are the main gimmick. IF we get a Kaiju Fight for Bananza, it's more of a set piece, which indeed allows for more unique moments, even if just for an one and done.

Potentially two days (embargo is up on Wednesday).

They should have never brought K. Rool back to Smash. All it’s done is embolden nostalgia fags who are going to shit their diapers everytime K. rool gets left out of a DK game. Entire big direct shows off the game in full and these fuckers still want to claim he’s actually the super secret bad guy pulling the strings. Like all those times Nintendo tried to hide how Bowser was really secretly the bad guy…Even Tears of the Kingdom it was very clear Ganondorf would he making a return from the first teaser. Why hide such a huge villain reveal? Because at best he’s a fossilized easter egg.

>>715458373
You’re right. It’s not that deep because the leak is fake as shit. The villains we saw are the main villains in the game. Anything else is pure cope. The truth is much simpler than people want to believe so they’re doubling down on a nostalgia driven fantasy.

nintendo do this all the time
and this game is very much inspired by Wreck it Ralph
K rool is the turbo of this game

They literally made a fake character to hide Pauline for 30 minutes before some idiot leaked her being in the game

>>715458448
And if the people who swore the fake leak was real and kept calling skeptics idiots because they NEEDED to believe the fat fuck croc was secretly some huge plot twist, who looks like the bigger faggot bitch when all is said and done? The people who fall for lies always make the bigger fools of themselves. Having some skepticism is healthy to prevent from going full retard. There still hasnt been enough shown to legitimatize anything shown so far. In fact what we have been shown is extremely dubious and it’s telling that they’re not showing more with no real explanation.

>>715458843

thank you for reminding me of this image

>>715458843

what if Pauline is also fake and Nintendo is hiding the fact that you do have to deal with Odd Rock for the entire game

>>715458645

>>715456861
>>dixie mentions to pauline about how she saved dk and diddy years ago
WHERE THE FUCK IS KIDDY KONG

>>715455765
maybe there's a multiplayer for the rambi segment and we get some other combos like Trixie/Lanky and Funky/Chunky.

>>715458843
And now after the direct, the big info blowout, we know all about Pauline and she’s front and center in all of the marketing materials. Why hide away such a huge villain reveal behind a cheap twist when if they had shown him off at the direct, it would have generated even more hype which would translate to sales? Hiding such a huge reveal would be beyond retarded for Nintendo. None of it makes any sense. It’s Tropical Freeze all over again. No, the Walrus is not secretly K. Rool.

>>715459104
Dead.

>>715458974
Wreck It Ralph is inspired by Donkey Kong, so a game related to the actual Donkey Kong is going to seem like Wreck It Ralph in the mind of a zoomer who never experienced the original.

>>715458642
Are you going to kill yourself if K. Rool and the Kremlings upend Void Co as the main villains? You sound very rattled by the idea of "nostalgiafags" getting a win.

>>715455765
Saying it again but lanky banaza where Dk gets long stretchy arms would be pretty cool

>>715459104
Unironically written out of existence. Nobody likes him, not even for the meme factor.

I just read the chinks updates, turns out floor 400 takes you to either 500 or 600 (snow and jungle areas with zebra and ostrich) so while it isnt a Cloud kingdom case, layer 400 seems to only be the entrance to the other 2. And someone is asking if 700 is the same

By now, the one major reason I want these leaks to be real, is for how hilariously fast it ages everything about this article

Doesn't the pic of him at the core confirm it though? That's impossible for an AI or even a photoshop

right about K Rool being in
wrong about Void Kong being a disguise

Those people are just nostalgia fags, I don't recommend wasting your breath with brainless twats like 'em

it's AI precisely because it randomly slapped a tail on him

No, because Im not invested in this. If they get in, I will feel literally nothing. But I am 100% confident that this is not the twist villain, just by using logic alone. Im just calling out dubious fake leaks when I see it. Show me the video and I will apologize to anyone and everyone who wanted K. Rool in this game. Getting people worked up over a fake leak is only going to make people more disappointed. Im not going to spread false hope to these people because that is genuinely evil. We know who the main villains are and it’s the Void monkeys. If Kremlins show up in some form that’s great for the people that wanted them, but weve seen no indication K. Rool is going to be the big twist villain. That just comes off as what people WANT to see because they are disappointed with the void monkeys.

So all the DK country games are prequels to this game and this one is also a prequel to the Mario games?

This is the only person actually providing valuable info for the game AND he provided timestamps to prove it IMMEDIATELY. Why cant these other fake leakers do this? Because they dont even have the fucking game.

Skepticism can be coping too, y'know. This isn't the scientific method. The absurd confluence of events and coincidences that'd need to occur to get to where we are now with new info 3 days from release is far more unlikely than him being in.

This is our primary source...

no, banandium has time/void powers
>Void Co attack New Donk City in search of banandium and fossils to make soldiers
>Defeat DK and Pauline, and regress them both in age and amnesia, and shove them down a layer of the earth
>Void Co finds K Rool fossil which tells them how to find the banandium root where their "wishes will be granted"
>they incidentally revive K Rool with the same time/void magic
hopefully

I remember people saying this about the Grinch leak.

>this fuckers avatar makes me feel ill

That fucker made Expand Dong.

>>715459901
Accept that it's a prequel already.

>>715460069
It's not.

>>715459986
All of these screens would require so much more work than the Grinch leak.

>>715459986
Yeah, me too. But the Grinch leak was IIRC at least a month before release. It's absurd to think fakes would drop this close to release with all eyes on them and no one has been able to punch a definitive hole in them.

>>715459986
This is exactly what they said except even the Grinch leak was more believable. Literally all these K. Rool leaks have going is some images. That’s it. There is no confluence. Just tiny, easily doctored photos. No timestamps, no real screenshots. Just a handful of fake shit, and no more funnily enough because they ran out of material. If they had the game, they could have easily posted some verifiable proof by now. Fake as fuck.
