I'm leaking for Pauline

This was debunked.

100%

>>715495243
Is this not the same thing that the DK vine people leake?

Let's discuss how putridly ugly gatornigger is.

Nostaliga faggots should KYS asap. No one gives two shits or knows about some faggot gator from 1935 when your parents weren't divorced.

Literally should have never got in smash. Bayonetta got in because she was relevant and a recent game release, not some literal who green shit.

>inb4 muh rob muh pacman muh duck hunt muh banjo
Icon characters of different eras or mascot characters. No one gives two shits about literal who the gator

>>715495387
Being ugly is cool.

It never hit me, but Banaza would be a Krool origin story.

I hate Mario canon. Miyamoto was right, it *should* just be random shit.

>>715495243
The debunkers got debunked
This leak is now rebunked

>>715495387
I love K. Rool. I got one of my three never evers in Smash and now my theatrical big boi is finally coming home

Why is Nintendo embracing creativity again? What happened to the mandates? Why are they giving fans what they want?

>>715495320
there's multiple leakers and people posting supposed leaks and some are real and some aren't and some of the fake stuff is using the real stuff for credibility. I wouldn't trust anything written, only images, and even then be wary.

>>715495618
Either there's been some changes in leadership or they realized how boring the mandates were

>>715495534
>>715495605
It seemingly is a prequel to Mario Odyssey but it takes place after the DKC trilogy.

I'm legitimately surprised we still don't have gameplay videos. Usually by this time a handfull of people have gotten copies from small mom and pop stores that don't understand street dates.

>>715495618
Most of those are slop

>>715495539
It is

Perhaps off topic but with the whole DK movie thing going on do you think he has a chance?

>>715495693
No emulation and most people are scared of Nintendo

Oooh...wokeanna

>>715495618
>remakes and things that intentionally replicate old art

no, they're just milking nostalgia as usual

>>715495534
Dixie allegedly talks about DKC3 in the past tense.

>>715495618
I think the wii u's failure (and the 3DS at first) kinda spooked the shit outta nintendo and they decided to play it very safe and just release guaranteed hits for their consoles

the switch being a big success made them feel safer when it came to experimenting and releasing games that wasn't one of their big franchises

>>715495618
The Mario Movie is obviously far more safe than the live action one, but it's still really weird and different for the series. Seemed like Miyamoto wanted that to be kind of an unofficial restart in ways, because I think he was working closely?

>>715495743
Maybe they bring him on as a consultant. Hard to say because Nintendo is still signing off on everything and they don't really seem to enjoy fan projects

You don’t understand why these leaks are real. Let me explain.

It’s now 2025. What that means is all the people making these games are super fans of the original games. They think the same way you do, as a fan.

It’s not longer just Miyamoto talking about gardens or something English guys who played D&D, it’s now late millennials making these games. That’s why all the lore stuff is so fleshed out and autistic, same with Zelda, Kirby.

>>715495743
>passionate about the source material

sorry he never had a chance

So is that vtuber actually making a song from the journey to the west theory

Imagine if there was a Donkey Long character and his arms stretched out really far

>>715495163 (OP)
>k rool
Fake

>>715495618
The Mario RPG remakes were likely Nintendo trying to unfuck the public perception of them. Probably why Brothership came out after both of them.

>mario is actually mario jr
pls be fake

>>715495839
That makes sense. The game is 30 years old.

I hope they at least bring back Benedict Campbell as K.Rool. It is probably wishful thinking and I can see that perhaps they want a more menacing voice (or just a celebrity desu), but hell they made Jack Black Bowser so anything's possible.

>>715496171
A little bit of trolling also it shouldn't be surprising but it's strange to think NoA employees are probably patrolling leak threads to take down the images.

>Cranky travels with Rambi

The ultimate tell. The leaks were real.

>>715496224

>>715495990
That's actually very funny, why haven't they thought of that already?

>>715496264
K. Rool's too big to get Campbell I think, maybe best case scenario he's the singing voice or is some random Kremling similar to Martinet

>>715496305

>Star Fox Zero fucking tanking despite how involved Miyamoto was with it
What do you mean "despite", it's specifically why it tanked. They still rely on their old staff for most shit, the only thing that spares them is retirement or death. Ironically both in most cases, I think Imamura might set a record for the longest living retired Nintendo employee.

>>715496419
Imamura isn't retired, he left. Also what, it was a PG game.

I was able to get an early copy.How early can I play it?How early can I stream it for /v/ while playing terribly? How did it work for Mario Kart World? I don't want to get console banned or banned on streaming for playing it too early. Just turning off internet should it be alright right?

>>715496391
>the guy sperging in the Star Fox threads
"the guy", singular?

>>715496478
Well "retired" in the japaneses sense, I know they never actually stop working lol.

>>715496352
As far as we know there is a chance for K.Rool to be voice acted in Bananza, at least making some gibberish noises like Void Co or the Elders, but I was wondering if perhaps they go the extra mile and keep K.Rool and Pauline as the only characters actually talking.

>>715496505
>How early can I play it?
If it's a legit copy then whenever you want
>How early can I stream it
The only way you are streaming that without getting shut down by some asshole snitching is by streaming on your own self-hosted platform. Twitch will shut you down. Youtube will shut you down. That or use some obscure streaming site with notoriously slow takedown speeds.

Your best bet is to record footage, but take care to hide your username should it ever appear.

Kinda feels like more of a GC era thing. I'm guessing he'll have plenty of lines but only have animal sounds/gibberish a la Rare, Mario, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, etc. God I hope he gets a song tho

I haven’t been hyped for a game like this in a long time.

>>715496769
yes, there's an extended Charge of the Light Brigade sequence

>>715497136
Chunky and Lanky aren't in the game. But they are costumes for DK.

Chat the Pauline songs sound straight fire

>>715495163 (OP)
I think the weirdest thing about this game is Pauline being anywhere close to King K Rool. It's like if Mario interacted with the WarioWare cast. Nintendo usually sections off things and uses safe ideas. Very interested to see what 3D Mario is gonna do next if they're willing to be interesting.

>>715497639
Lanky was confirmed by DK Vine, he's part of a sidequest that involves manky kongs.

>k. rools fat fucking ass itself is the banandium root

the absurdity of it all is what locked these leaks in as real

If the elephant leak is true that confirms Miyamoto's legacy

>>715497647
Right now it's "Jump Up Super Star" > the new DK song >> "Break Through". Even the Bananza jibberish songs are good

Assuming any of this is real, wasn't the charm of K. Rool that he had a new gimmick and get-up in every game? Did Smash randomly turn him into "le fat guy" like how it turned Wario into farting man?

>>715493331
It was definitely the push the Kutthroats gave him back in 2014/15 and that push coming to fruition in 2018. But the actual reason also relates to EAD's stance on characters; if they didn't create them, they won't touch them. Obviously this isn't an ironclad rule, but it's a consistent one. Notice you'll see a new baby each Mario Kart game up to MK8 and even a powerup or an alternate take on a character (Cat Mario and Pink Gold Peach) but you won't see someone like say, K. Rool or even Mona or Captain Syrup? That's why. Those are characters made from spin-offs of the Mario brand and they generally stay segregated from the main Mario cast. When they had to increase the roster size starting with the late N64/Gamecube era, they started using Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong from Rare's games, Wario, Waluigi, Daisy and so on. They CAN use any character they see fit, but they'll usually bring in a powerup or create a character (PGP, Baby Rosalina). Funky Kong was a huge surprise at the DKVine back in 2008 alongside Sluggers having more Kongs and the Kremlings/K. Rool. The former being an EAD game, so you're less likely to see a character like Funky in their games, but they went and did it.

>>715495618
The mandate wasn't really a mandate, but a guideline. But it was present and NSMB had a huge hand in establishing it. I believe that one post from NeoGAF saying that said people behind the mandate also kept Waluigi segregated to the spin-offs. Within another decade, do not be surprised if Waluigi pops up in the next Wonder/NSMB/Mario platformer, or even gets a game of his own. All jokes aside, he is popular and has genuine fans.

Paper Mario may still be fucked though, TTYD and SMRPG be damned.

>>715497635
I see, he wants me to post more of her tweets.

>>715497936
This is literally his best fake out of all time, motherfucker disguised himself as a deus ex machina

>>715497197
This is the Odyssey team, so an endgame K. Rool section a la Bowser isn't out of the question, but I think what's more likely is an last minute Kremling Bananza to beat the shit out of the final boss, whether it's K. Rool or a transformed Void Kong or whoever it is.

>>715497936
My belief is that K. Rool will have Void Kong as his support like DK has Pauline.

I know why they made Pauline with no shoes. Japanese people are crazy

It could be that it's a side effect of Nintendo reintroducing him, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little unfortunate. But I'd say the comeback story makes it worth it and I guess we can hold out hope that the actual fight will have a gimmick like DK64 did.

>>715498024
because otherwise she'd be rudely stepping on DK with shoes on

>>715497936
>wasn't the charm of K. Rool that he had a new gimmick and get-up in every game?
Seeing how we don't have all the context for this yet, I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see him as a golden skeleton at some point like the ones we saw for Kremlings. Would be a neat way to tie him looking different into the plot.

>>715498032
What? No namefagging drop? Not impressed. Shout "Chris" or "Phil" or whatever youtuber you get your opinions from to hit home.

>>715497893
The whole point is probably exactly to have them interact so that the Nintendo-DK-Arcade-based and the DKC branches finally merge fully

The Odyssey team is big on nostalgia. Super Mario Odyssey was pretty much
>Remember Pauline?
>Remember NES Mario?
>'Member Yoshi's house?
>'Member Peach's Castle?

Which is why I'm not completely shocked K. Rool is back. The team is a bunch of millennial Japanese dudes, they played the DKC series as kids, they're aware of the croc, and they probably have nostalgia for the scaly dude.

>>715498258
I'm sorry people don't have time to count your favorite nobodies, Rarecuck.

>>715498458
i hope we get a link to the past nostalgiabait big zelda. that's my favourite game of all time

>>715498246
He and his whole crew weren't even pirate-themed outside of a ship in DKC1. In DKC2 he dropped the king shit all together and even went by a new persona called Kaptain K. Rool or something.In 64, he randomly became a boxer with a new name too. He wouldn't be half as fun without the role-swapping.

>>715498284
>Rare dying
??? microsoft use them as the perpetual sea of thieves factory. It's not dying

>>715497936
Well, he was a King in 64, and in the end he still is but just with a boxing costume. The climber games also keep him as a King with his original design and he is still a King on the TV show, Barrel Blast... It is cool that he would change personas but his main look has always been that of King K. Rool

>>715498546

What triggers that error message. I’d shit myself if I saw that. Like the game over and unauthorized copy screens.

>>715497936
According to some Famiboards posters in the DK Vine discord (source of all the leaks), he will get one at some point.
>Did Smash randomly turn him into "le fat guy"
Isn't that a Paon era thing? At least I remember him being like that in Super Sluggers.

K rool may be stealing the show for Bananza, but HE will be the villain in the DK movie

>>715498703
The best part of a movie is to have a charming villain. I dont know if K Rool will be in it, but this tard definitely will not be. Imagine Puss in Boots 2 without the wolf.

So is Nintendo just giving up and doing the whole remake/reboot thing now?

>>715498798
Honestly, that's the whole point. You need a villain with weight-like actual presence, intimidation, charisma. That wolf in Puss in Boots was pure distilled menace. The DK universe has that with K. Rool if they actually use him right. This "tard" you're talking about? Probably some Illumination OC tier dud who thinks banana jokes are peak comedy. The movie's only saving grace might be if they let K. Rool go full theatrical psycho like his DKC2 design. Otherwise it's just gonna be Minions with fur.

It's whenever people bring up Starfox Zero as being "the series killer" when that couldn't be any further from the truth. It was indened to be the resurrection of a series that he already killed in Command and it didn't pan out because it was more or less just a remaster/remake of 64 with gimmicks from SF2.

>"I skim through every thread to keep an eye on every Rare related discussion
Sir, Rare works for Microshit and this is a Nintendo game we're talking about. It's like you automatically just go into non Rare threads and make sure it's about something Rare related yourself. Great job, don't get me wrong.

It's been so long since smash fake leakery that most of these zoomers have never seen a proper fake. Everything they know is AI generated, hence their confusion to something that looks decently convincing.

The longer at you stare at this "new" K. Rool, the more the cracks start to show. This is just Ultimate K. Rool with some slight alterations. He's out of place with everything else in Bananza.

>>715499389
>Bluster kong is secretly the mastermind behind Voidco and Void kong answers to him

>>715498972
His model in ultimate also has a slight hump between his eyes and nostrils, just like a real American crocodile. Which is the only species of crocodile with a hump like that. Feels intentional to me.

>>715499268
Anon, the only figure of King K. Rool prior to 2018 was the figure based off the DKC cartoon. Only Japan got that. Not even France or America. Japan. The merch alone is proof of its popularity, America and France did not get those cards or that K. Rool figure.

So not real.

>>715499306
an asshole who worked at some advertising firm in france, a firm with actual connections to nintendo, managed to plant fake promo material, including a fake version of the mural, that included a bunch of wanted characters.

the fact that the 'leak' originated from a firm actually related to nintendo made it way too real to be ignored. you better bet the people at the firm were tormented, and probably nintendo closed their connections with them... that asshole must have felt SO proud.

>this is a thread where we talk about how Nintendo did the same shit in this game that Rare did in Starfox Adventures

Tell me more about how he comes out of nowhere the last minute and how many times your dong expanded from the mullato monkie girl. Tell me more about how the barefoot little shit is going to be more annoying than Tricky the Dinosaur.

it's a shame pauline's freedom was short lived as she sacrificed herself to become the new banandium root

>>715498351
God I wish.

>>715499501
we call that marketing, anon. lots of stuff get regional exclusives
also "figure" is being too generous, it's one of those small cap things

>>715498351
they all left rare ages ago
they're all at playtonic except the banjo guy who just jumped
there is no need for nintendo to hire gaijin to make dk ever again

>>715499462
Yes, they were clearly making fun of Americans in the 1st donkey Kong country. From there they kind of went all over the place with pirates, Frankenstein, bear country, so on and so on.

>caring about the """lore""" of fucking donkey kong games

>>715495618
The Mario mandates were always overblown. A lot of rules fans discuss existed way earlier than when they were proposed to have been put in place.

Still, if you want a reason why it's been better as of late? One reason is likely that Nintendo sees a clear divide when it comes to mainstream Mario and offshoots of it. The former can lead the brand image safely while spin-offs can go more ham.

Bananza is a little different since it's carrying a separate franchise. In this case, a lot of the creativity can stem from the unique setting that will barely be revisited most likely and the fact it's a fresh rejuvenation for the IP. All the main recurring Donkey Kong characters are clearly going to be what sticks going forward, and aside from DK and arguably Pauline the designs aren't that different from what came prior to this.

>>715499819

>>715499879

>we call that marketing, anon. lots of stuff get regional exclusives
And America, UK and France never got a figure of K. Rool. Only Japan got that and >>715499907 and DKC was huge in America. The games were marketing enough, the merch and the cartoon was the result of its popularity.

No shit. This is why it's not a big deal when they introduce new villains, it's a cartoon fantasy.

>>715500061
make no mistake DKC the game is popular in Japan, I'm just talking about the cartoon itself. it having marketing items doesn't really make it popular since Japan has been known to do this stuff with foreign-made properties

>>715499849
Not saying they'd bring them back for DK and the brain drain has been immense, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't some level of fondness for the 90s relationship now that most of Rare's heyday talent is gone from Microsoft

>>715499893

Not a chance until sales start to suffer again. Aonuma pigeonholed the 3D games into becoming western trendchasing FotM normiebait and said normalfags rewarded him with money hand over fist both times. By the time most people start seeing issues, it's far too late because they ply the player with addicting short-term gameplay and potential. As a result, BotW and TotK have conditioned many of their fans (especially newcomers) into now having violent food-poisoning tier reactions to the slightest hint of nonlinearity and mandatory tasks whenever they try the older games (it doesn't help that the only older game that got a non-NSO release on Switch was the one game that actually did take it way too far).

That said, I'd also love to see the kind of game you're describing.

What could Nintendo possibly do now that they've brought back K. Rool and the Kremlings that would top their comeback? Is there any still-burning requests left that could match or surpass the kino levels if they delivered?

>>715499194
Dude, old Rare was king, you can't recreate that lightning in a bottle

>>715495743
Uncle Al said he had friends in high places who know people who did the Mario movie saw Return to Krocodile Isle. I’m sure they’ll try, but at most expect short scenes like the lego ones in Spiderverse.

Nuh-uh 101% reel an tru

>>715500681
For DK? I have no idea. K. Rool's been a never ever so long that a single crusty picture of him made the entire fanbase explode. I don't think you can ever top that in terms of hype, but if they keep it up with sequels that continue to lean into the franchise's identity they can at least keep the people fed.
but I get the feeling this game's planned to be a one and done for Nintendo

Wario World: Wananza

Donkey Kong 64 brought me the most joy in the world when I found out there was a hidden banana pad hidden in the forest grass and it broke all the 100% speed runners.

I can only hope Banaza brings even half of that bliss.

>>715500981
Sales trump everything. They're treating this with the same prestige as a mainline Mario title. No way they back off that if the reception is good.

>>715496171

>>715501158
Good lord if there's one series that needs the series love letter "everything matters" treatment, it's Star Fox.
Just the kind of energy Nitro Fueled has and Bananza will have if it lives up to the hype.

>>715498703
The movie will be ALL of the villains, each of them with their own ideas about how to beat the Kongs, until K. Rool comes in and gets them to work together. Basically, the first part will be a "reminder" for people that either haven't played the games in a while, or have never played the games on who all of these characters are.

>>715497197
>>715497357
If you said that a week ago I would call you deranged but DK and Pauline combined having less costumes than Koopa Troopa IS suspicious

>>715501295
It was more about the sudden sanitizing of the brand, which was seen when the remake of Superstar Saga happened. Where before the various enemies were allowed to look incredibly different across multiple games, Nintendo decided that all of their Mario original enemies such as Boo, Koopas and Bullet Bill, must remain in the design they have set for them for marketing purposes. Honestly kind of shit.

>>715501543

>>715501391
how ugly dk looks with his eyebrows raised

>>715501115
More than that, I think reviving K. Rool is also a brand synergy move for the upcoming DK movie, like how the Mario movie redesign of DK heralded his redesign for MKW and Bananza. Which makes me beg the question I've seen other anons bring up: why is the DK section of Super Nintendo World still trying to push Raretendo DK and the Tikis? The latter is especially baffling because they didn't stick, at ALL.

>>715501391
What are these two retards look at?

>>715498885
>>715498703
>>715501486
>>715501012
I honestly like that there's more factions within the DK universe beyond the Kongs and Kremlings.

Hopefully future games can do interesting stuff with the Snowmads and Tiki-taks, I think like a tactics or strategy game with all 4 groups and maybe a new one could be neat

>>715501771
When do we think snake and elephant bananza show up?

>>715501730
Miyamoto runs the theme park shit.
He worked with Retro on DKC:R. So it's his most recent game in memory. Also I believe DKCR is the second highest selling game in the series, just below DKC1.

Where do you guys get the updates on this Chinese leaker?

>>715501730
I think the theme park is just Nintendo going with tried and true (even if the Tikis were shit, DKCR was extremely popular). Same thing with the classic Rare design. They didn't want to demo his new look in a theme park where it sould be vastly more expensive to correct if there was a poor reception.

>>715501826

>>715502404
I have no idea where this is coming from but I would be inclined to believe it considering they didn't try to buy them up after all they did for the company, though I'm still confused about that whole sale. Nintendo also seems more keen to acquire studios more nowadays than they did back then.

>>715497893
>>715498274
Yes, I think this game is intentionally trying to bridge the gap of the various Mario-DK games into one full canon.

DK Country games were really their own thing, and only made slight allusions to past games, and nothing about Mario or the city they had a conflict in. Just their own side stories about DK Island and Kremlings.

Mario Odessy out of nowhere confirms Pauline who hadn't been seen in years, and that New Donk City is a thing.

Now we have a young Pauline, who is suspiciously idential to her older counterpart, who may very well be Pauline Jr.

The only downside is that I think K.Rool has this very Loony Tooons kind of art style, which doesn't fit the Mario verse.

>>715502609

>>715502404
Someone on Jet Force Gemini debunked what this post said

>>715502596
It's a matter of context
Rare went to Nintendo first, they said no, they went open to other buyers, and Nintendo tried to outbid only to lose to Microsoft so they sold their 49% share to use the money for other projects.
Rare at the time was missing deadlines as well.
As for recent buyouts again context.
NLG's owners went to Nintendo who agreed and this was years after collaboration and LM3 selling millions.
Nintendo doesn't buy studios randomly, it's why the Shiver acquisition had people immediately speculate they were bought out for port work

Oh man. Now I ship Pauline with Stanley even more. Sorry E. Gadd.
>>715502371
I would love to see Waluigi in a game with Wario and two hot redheads (I know their names are Mona and Captain Syrup, I am not a casual) if it meant he would suffer like pic related.

>>715499907
I guess they didn't get the memo about him wearing belly armor. Also, why does it have the texture of a golf ball?

>>715502838
a lot about his story is incredibly unrealistic

Odessy devs seem to actually care about the background lore in a way that miyamoto didn't really care about (he saw them as akin to actors and each game a self-contained play). So that's why we get Pauline back in a big way, New Donk City, and implies mario is yet another human from one of these human kingdoms (possibly new Donk).

The Mario Kart series already introduced modern tech (remember, the story set out as medeival fairy tales lol), so New Donk city fits.

Now Bananza is answering all those questions you enver asked, and trying to merge DK, DKC, mario, all into one cohesive whole.

>sequel: mario and DK
>DK and mario team up vs. Bowser and K.Rool.

>>715498274
This seems like a logical direction:
DK series -> Bananza -> arcade/Mario series
It ends up being a sequel to the previous DK games and a prequel to the arcade games, bridging the two together in a more unified canon.

>>715501010
Anon, the earliest zoomers were born 28 years ago.

>>715502994
Hmm, kind of a shame. I guess the attack that it uses causes a lot of voxels and the Switch 2 can't handle it well. Still, only one boss so far has a problem?

>>715503393
So....Cranky Kong ISN'T technically the OG DK then
Where does DK Jr. fit in this?
Yoshi's Island DS?

>>715503393
It seems weird to retro-actively retcon 30 years of Donkey Kong Country games as taking place like 20 years in the past, telling DK's origin story. Cranky makes allusions to past battles that line up with the Arcade titles.

It also means that the DK games are a misunderstanding of sorts, and maybe Pauline and DK are meeting up again, and Mario tries to rescue her from DK's clutches.

>>715502419
At least dispairfags produce delicious salty tears when proven wrong.

>>715503393
That would feel a little strange considering for how many years Nintendo didn't try to contradict that Cranky was the original DK. It could work though, especially if when we get Pauline back to the City, we see a teenage Mario.

>>715503528

Has Nintendo never heard of the fucking Streisand effect?

>>715495163 (OP)
Chink guy reached layer 900, a.k.a. Elephant layer
>>715503154
Baidu. He's been pretty slow, but apparently he's free tomorrow
>>715503451
Its the first time he brings that up, he was asked about it before and said he only had drops when "opening the map" (dont know if literally or a translation thing)

>>715503163
it's over

>>715503549
>>715503393
The ending is 100% going to be:

>Pauline and DK get to the surface
>mommy Pauline rushes to her, and all concerned
>stops in her tracks: a kong her arch nemesis
>See? He saved me
>y-you? saved her? You have my thanks.
>tells an awkward story about a bad experience being kidnapped by a Kong long ago
>DK feigns ignorance
>cranky tries to look innocent
>absolutely no mention of the father despite all hints going towards Mario

>>715499705
Did we ever figure out who made the leak?

>>715503393
OBJECTION!
Explain this prequelfags

>>715503618
Probably an issue with the game having to render the entire environment. Remember that the map is real time and takes the current stage and completely renders it. You are essentially rendering the game world AGAIN, it really is no wonder the map causes a big lag spike.

DK is gonna beat up K Rool, Pauline will change into her Odyssey model and say "Mama mia.... Donkī Kongu... You saved me???", DK will make a funny face and then credits will roll

>>715503592
There's a definite art style clash. Thsoe apes have the old DKC style, and then DK has this feather style. Just pick one!

Diddy and Dixie are identical to their DKC originals. DK gets a redesign. K.Rool is the same.

>>715503618
Kind of weird that it takes so long from getting the first three Bananza forms to this point to get another. I wonder if Snake and Elephant are optional.

>>715502994
>frame drops
>lag
nintendo.....

>>715503549
They kinda did already contradict it with the Mario vs DK games in regards to character ages. Nintendo continued to treat arcade and modern DK as the same character too, in series like G&W Gallery (where DK kidnaps Peach, not Pauline!) and the planned inclusion of Jr in Double Dash as DK's partner.

>>715503726
>Diddy and Dixie are identical to their DKC originals.
They no longer have conjoined eyes
>K.Rool is the same.
Compare him with his Rare model, not Smash

>>715503618
>"opening the map" (dont know if literally or a translation thing)
I bet it's kind of like a lag thing when you go into screenshot mode for Mario Kart World, just guessing.

What if they canonize Donkey Kong Jr. IS current Donkey Kong?

>>715503674
not that i know of... probably dude is on the other side of the planet still laughing like an asshole.

>>715495243

>>715503918
Nintendo seems to want to make modern DK Cranky's son instead of grandson, so I could believe it. Would make a whole heap of more sense.

>>715502024
Stanley, Wart, Tatanga, and Syrup have always felt like the key missing characters we need to see back in the franchise. I guess throw Foreman Spike in there too, but at least he was in the movie. I'm really hoping that K Rool being revived and the Kart referring Mario Land out of nowhere are good signs

>>715503383
>remember, the story set out as medeival fairy tales lol
To be fair, before Super Mario Kart:
>Super Mario Bros. 3 had tanks and airships
>Super Mario Land 1 had submarines, airplanes, and UFOs
>Super Mario World had speakers, buzzsaws, and motorized reciprocating saws
So technology wasn't totally off the table before SMK.

>>715503674
>>715503934
Remember Midori? That totally legit leaker fuck who would get posted here daily? It was him.

>>715503726
that's because giving every character with fur those hair texture cards would kill performance so they are just reserved for DK since he's the protagonist

>>715504015
>>Super Mario Bros. 3 had tanks and airships

They went out of their way to show them as fully wooden, meaning that Bowswer is just that much of a schizo tech genius that he's creating tech far advanced than the fairy tale era he's set in.

>>Super Mario Land 1 had submarines, airplanes, and UFOs

Side story that's intentionally schizo.

>>Super Mario World had speakers, buzzsaws, and motorized reciprocating saws

Yeah, they were gradually slipping in more modern tech as they went, and they never sat around and said "let's make it set in a modern world", it just slid in. SMK had to have Mario characers to sell. They could ahve I guess used originals, but why do that?

After that: mroe and more modern tech.

But the original story is very much a fairy tale "a dragon stole the princess go be a knight and save her".

>>715497895
Wait, does this finally confirm that Lanky Kong is a domesticated Manky?

>>715503918
DK Jr. is nuKong and Rare DK is DK III

>>715503690
Explain this then

>>715503991
The problem is that it brings up this question
And then what?
Stanley, Wart, and Tatanga haven't come back yet because there's no unique function they can provide.
There's no evergreen placement for them in the cast especially as individual characters where they lack any sort of chemistry.
Syrup is absent because Wario Land is absent

>>715503674
Nothing definitive, but mariotehplumber was a top suspect. He claimed responsibility, he speaks French, he's massively autistic and spiteful, and has the capital to back up his spiteful autism (he's also the sperglord who beforehand bought hundreds of Rosalina Amiibo just to make sure people couldn't get them because he hates the character that much).

>>715504087
>when you nut and she still suckin

I have 1 important question.

Is Candy Kong in it?

Does she look like this?

If not, 0/10 for me honestly.

>>715504313
Fuck.

>>715503453
It would just mean that he's DK's son again within the Super Mario series. They'd be able to bring him back at any time if they want.

Same amount of time has passed since then as between 2016 and 2009. Think of all the board culture and changes between 2009 and 2016. That amount of time happened again since the Grinch leak. Think of all the newfags...

He's slight more offensive than Apu (who was never as bad as that one douche made him out to be) because of his accent but even Rare figured he might've been too much so they gave him a British accent in the DS remake.

So we're all in agreement someone has to draw fan art of the other Kongs with Bananza forms right?

>>715504663

>>715504598
Is able to use Wind based powers and is unaffected by enviromental stuff because heavy weight. So can walk in areas of heavy wind, walk underwater, uses trunk to blast and suck air and can suck up water to shoot as well. Basically, the Bananza transformations ARE the Animal Buddies and references to the DKC games. Elephant for Ellie

>>715504784

They can only top this by making a retread of DKC in full 3D with the revived Kremlings that they hint at. No transformations, but animal buddies, similar art style, and tricky levels to beat. Evoke that hard to capture 90s look as well.

Make it a sequel, but obvious retread of DKC ratehr than a remake.

>>715504901
I saw TV specials on Canadian tv that this was the next stage in animation since the show was just mocap actors moving around rather than traditionally animated. They only did custom animation for certain segments. That way they could make the show for cheap.

Note that the majority of the show is just characters standing in rooms. The singing is probably just to add more run time of characters standing around.

It was such a cheap ugly shitty show. No nostalgia for it despite watching it on and off. Though I do believe all these shitty Nintendo tv shows should be preserved.

>>715504861
Here's your Zebra elder, chuddie. You can apologize now. Sorry you haven't played all the games in the DK continuity.

>>715504879

>Elephants looking VERY Indian
Holy shit, no fucking way they are doing it. Can they REALLY have gotten every single DK game referenced? Even Diddy Kong Racing?

>>715505014
I'm Canadian and genuinely believe Canada has culturally produced nothing of value and never will. We're anti-soul. We're just used as dregs for cheap labor.

>>715504556
The biggest dam-burst was a 1-2 punch, between Apu being removed from the Simpsons (because jeets basically lobbied to kill their most positive and prominent cultural PR in the west), and the now-infamous DO NOT REDEEM Kitboga video going viral just a few years later. Now everyone outside of them sees them for the utterly filthy and scrupleless subhumans they really are.

>>715504313

>>715504505
Why Did Donkey Kong Stop Being Playable in Mario Party Games Anyway?

>>715505119
Nothing to do with pop-culture, they just increased Indian-Pakistan immigration, which means letting in lower quality and sketchy people. So you used to only get the Masters degree engineer or medical doctor, now you get the Pajeet who's sketchy as hell with a made up fake degree. And on top fo that, endless Indian scamming with them getting internet access. Facebook is all Indians scamming. They call me like 5 times a day.

>>715505123
>knuckles on the mid of his Bandicoot Bananza transformation

>>715505067
Eh, it's kind of a stretch unless there's some text alluding to it more clearly. Head canon though? Sure.

>>715497895
next you're gonna tell me there's a quest that involves chained kongs

>>715504937
>...who the hell is "Jacqueline Onassis"?

>>715505119
Pajeet also became mainstream and is it just me or has scammers became more prominent?
I wake up in early in the AM for some "job offer" and the second I hear that accent I'm out.
Honestly I don't hate Indians (I've met plenty who were cool) but I think a lot of the vitriol they get stems from just how numerous they are on the internet nowadays.
They're the most populated country on Earth and they don't have a great firewall like China unless I'm mistaken.

>>715504937
I need to see the snake people and snake elder and the elephant elder so badly.
>>715505067
Naturally, I’ll be reading the elephant peoples dialogue with an Indian accent in my head when I play the game lol

>>715504015
He's the frog ruler of Subcon that Mario defeats at the end of SMB2 and technically the leader of the Shy Guys I would think? But that's been weirdly muddled. He also cameos in Link's Awakening under a different name

>>715504015
I'm not sure I agree with that. Wart maybe because he's just frog Bowser, but Tatanga would bring a lot of sauce: alien, another villain, rival to Daisy, weird UFO tech. I really thought he'd honestly appear in World considering how many Land references they were finally making (plus the ridable UFOs). And Stanley would be cool as "another plumber," I'm sure ripe for a reimagining of some kind. Syrup doesn't need explaining -- she would make a lot of sense on her own.

>>715505067
If they fly carpets and outright say "Hello Friend" (even in the Japanese version) than yeah it'll confirm it's a reference
Otherwise, it's a reach

>>715505067
Not every animal is a direct reference, you autist

>>715505209
my guess is they wanted a positive counter to the Bowser Space and DK is really the only other character they had that's a powerful enough guy for that

Indians being abrasive and weaselly have been known phenomena for a long time, it's just more noticeable now with distaste becoming more prominent and accepted.

This was from 2006. and let's not forget the hilariously prescient Ballocaust bit seen later in the show that basically predicted Kanye West's black nazi rapper shtick.

>>715505686
Yeah, let's speculate what the song for Elephant is going to sound like.

>>715505497
And remember, the leak said that we fight him as the boss of the floor he appears, but that isn't the FINAL boss fight. We still don't know what the final bit of the game is.

>>715505724
>>715505261
Overpopulated with high poverty, low education, so scamming is just a winning strategy and way of life. Being nice and kind and considerate are luxuries. It's just a numbers game: out of the society there's going to be enough people who are willing to call others endlessly.

I think with AI we're gonna get a total jeetpocalypse. They won't need to physically call individuals, but will run a call center with 50 people, who in turn are making 5000 calls a minute with AI each. The entire world is gonna drown in spam and calls.

Everyone was pissed at the Chinese a few years ago and then they made a couple of popular video games
India doesn't have that going for them

Anyone else feel that the game is strangely front loaded for the transformations? We get Kong on first real floor after getting Odd Rock. Then we get Zebra on floor 300, then Ostrich on 400. Then an entire 4 layers before we get another transformation? That is the middle part of the game. It would be like an RPG not giving you access to the full kit until the literal end game. Imagine Tales not letting you assign skills to arts until you were in the final chapter.

Ah, well, that seems better. So Zebra and Ostrich are in the middle part.

>>715506128
I would guess 1000. Though anyone's guess on what the Layer is called, let alone the theme. If the form is a reference to Rattly, then it will jump super high and basically be there for you to get height for Ostrich. Maybe it will be a DESERT Layer.

>>715506640
He was just soft confirmed with the elephant bananza form from earlier leaked images

Why did they even do this fakeout with Krool thing? Would it not have been liked more if he had been the antagonistic force throughout the whole game? Same with the how oddrock turns into Pauline, except they clearly didn’t want that to be a secret for long since they revealed it and put it on the box art and marketing.

Because now they can have Void, Grumpy and Poppy come back as secondary antagonists or helpers in later games. Nintendo is trying to ease players into the idea of not just having K. Rool in the spot light, DK can have other villains.

>>715506842
They're not counting on autists like us to lap up all the spoilers before the game is out. Imagine if we didn't know.

>>715506842
Because most of the game is focused on fighting void co kongs. Also to completely rewrite the Kremlings' backstory to dinosaurs and dragons and shit.

...LIKE HOW THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS ENTIRE TIME?

>>715506774
They never did that with Splatoon, and Splatoon clothes are androgynous/gender-neutral.

>>715506989
>They never did that with Splatoon
yes they did

>>715507017
Splatfest t-shirts don’t count.

>>715506842
because they knew it was going to be so hyped even /v/irgins would be losing their shit over it

>>715503103
>they're probably going to also answer: why the Kremlings even give a shit about bananas in the first place

We've known all along, K Rool and the Kremlings simply likes bananas but so many fans refuse to accept this for some reason even though its so obvious and in so many sources.

>>715506842
Because it's a surprise, retard

>>715507112
>We've known all along, K Rool and the Kremlings simply likes bananas
Except they don't

>>715507087
I wasn't counting them, I own official recreations of these two shirts and saw others

>>715506842
They did it for the Zeldafags with Twilight Princess and it wasn't even necessary

Except he ONLY says that in the english localization, read the link up and weep.

Like K. Rool can do all these silly things including flirting with a Kong, yet fans can't accept him eating bananas for some reason!

You know, this game seems practically tailor-made for /v/
>Gameplay-focused
>Callbacks to old shit without that being the only point of the game
>Has a loli
The only thing it's missing is anime tiddies for the coomers.

Fuck off eric

>>715506842
It's the first major release after MK World since launch, they can benefit from being secretive with the game because you can assume a decent number of people will buy it regardless, kind of like ARMS, though this will be way better.

>>715507221
And those clothes are just t-shirts with a screen printed design. It’s not like Pauline is just wearing t-shirts with a picture of a monkey or elephant on them

>>715495163 (OP)
I want to feel Pauline's farts

>>715507271
NTA but It doesn't matter much. If he's just taking bananas to piss off DK then that's pretty funny. Not like you ever see these characters enjoying bananas throughout the series, I believe.

>>715507271
Like someone whom hated Bananas wouldn't have banana peels from eaten bananas lying around on both his pirateship and his airship. Note in the second game, he didn't take the banana hoard, so the bananas are his own stash!

>>715507450
>It’s not like Pauline is just wearing t-shirts
she should be
oversized t-shirt only pauline...

>>715507294
Gameplay focused isn’t a good thing anon

>>715507520
...it's a great thing!

>>715507112
I always assumed DK Bananas had the properties of Bananas AND Gold.

So banana coins, kremling coins and DK coins were Made out of bananas


But then they introduced the silver bear coins, but there were mountains in 3 so it was probably old fashioned silver.

>>715507520
You don't speak for me.

>>715507520
>Gameplay in a game is bad now
It's over for this shit board, is really has been taken over by third world gachafags.

>>715507592
HOLY SHIT MARIO IS IN THE BACKGROUND

Can someone kill this worthless bug already

>>715507592
K Rool pics tomorrow bros

>>715507570
A german guide for the first Donkey Kong Country Game said the Kremling factories were to turn the bananas into gold, no joke!

>>715507592
FUCK YES, DESERT LAYER. I was right!

>>715507639
something like that

I'll use this thread since the other didn't have the decency to spoiler the image and will probably be deleted

why are snoys like this?

>I always wanted a Microsoft character to fuck me in the ass with a banana
you can literally do this in smash btw

These layers are short as fuck. Game seems like it might be lacking in content

>>715507648
He lives and works in the US, so unless something changes heavily where he works, I doubt it. Depending on where he works, he might have mandatory days off.

>>715507916
he's powering through without doing any other stuff

>>715507916
If you are just going forward to the next layer, it doesn't take long, but the game has multiple sublayers every single floor, with some having up to 3 and possibly more. It wouldn't surprise me if "main campaign" is literally just 2 hours, but 100% completion takes 40.

>>715507798
Isn't that kind of the point?

>>715507930
Sand and pipes. Yup, looking like this is where the Snakes are.

>>715507736
I think you're a butthurt faggot.

>>715507916
Most hours of the game will be spent on taking zoomed photos of the underside of Pauline’s feet

>>715507520
Let me guess, you want to play a game that’s a shitty movie that occasionally intersected with lite puzzle elements?
