Astro bot won

>>715565042
There’s a point where you have to accept that difficulty (actual difficulty not baby shit that casuals find difficult) is a thing of the past in most modern AAA games. The focus is on movement and exploration over platforming. I’m sure there will be some post game difficulty. Astro bot also is not hard in the slightest. It sucks but what are you gonna do.

>>715561413
Ah. So it really is just tendies spamming E33 hate threads. Good to know.

What the fuck

>>715565042
It was leaked on resetera but the poster took it down saying he spoke too soon so dont think its legit

>>715565754
Odyssey is similarly short if you don't explore and collect everything

>>715565754
that's pretty average for a 3d platformer, no?

>>715565358
Astro Bot has some really hard extra challenges. And that's not true, there are some quite difficult AAA games out there like Elden Ring, GOW on GMGOW, TLOU2 on Grounded, Returnal, and Doom Eternal

>>715560972 (OP)
86 for the performance issues and the "Fuck you Nintendo for not giving us an advanced Switch 2 review" tax

It's short as fuck for a 2025 game

>>715565358
>The focus is on movement and exploration over platforming.
Where's the fucking movement then? This garbage game is literally just Odyssey without the god tier movement. I tolerated that game's shitty moon objectives because zipping around with all the movement options that you had made getting them fun. This garbage nuDK game has none of that

>>715565818

I can assure you that you cannot by any stretch of imagination 100% a 3D platformer under 24 hours unless is a shitty one

>>715564242
Sorry, maybe I wasn't specific enough. I think in the current Switch 2 cycle of journalism, performance issues will be targeted by journalists. We're in a period of high scrutiny for Nintendo, so they're more liable to get penalized in those areas than the predecessor console's games were.

>>715561136
i suspect an 88 or 90 and people here will somehow pretend that is a bad score.

>>715564169

>>715566102
This. I want DK to get a fucking 97 and based on everything I've seen It can definitely get there. However, the anti nintendo shit since the switch 2 has been insane for some reason and that will undoubtedly translate to their scores.

Everything about the switch 2 has either been false or misinformation. 90 dollar games here in the US. False. All games being game key cards. False. Gamecube NSO controller only working on gamecube games. False. Eula saying that they will brick your system. Literally a non issue every manufacturer of hardware has the exact same thing. Joy con connection pins easily breakable. False. Switch 2 needs a day one update to work. False. Doug bowser saying buy a switch 1 instead of a switch 2. false.

Something is up and it feels so manufactured.

what do we know about Rool's appearance in the game? is he the last boss or earlier? is he important to the plot or just shows up?

Reviews are going up tomorrow?

So what the fuck is the deal with this dude then?

>>715566640
No, you are the one who is spamming garbage to the catalog every time you don't get your way.
You are mad because people favor Donkey Kong Bananza over other games that you like, so you will spam garbage to the catalog every time you lose an argument.
Please stop.

>>715566421
>Switch 2 needs a day one update to work. False.
How is this false? Everyone who got one early needed a day 1 update before they could even use the system. I am hoping and expecting later post launch systems wont have that requirement, but this is the one thing that was actually true.

>>715566842
ok schizo

>>715565818
Odyssey takes longer than 1 day to beat on a first blind playthrough.

>>715565984
Literally says 27 hours right there unless you're assuming somebody playing Bananza for the first time ever who admitted he enjoyed it (96/100) interacted with 0 side content. 12.5 hours is Broodal fight -> next Kingdom-tier rushing the game.

>>715564293
I feel that the game being destructible kind of means they have to be simple.

>>715560972 (OP)
91, the framerate dropping will fuck the reviews

It’s getting a 95 minimum. Every who’s played the game has said it’s generational. Add in the nostalgia and we got another 97 on our hands (down from 98 because tranny sterling does a melty)

>>715566760
I'm pretty sure one of the text leaks said Jumpman's explained to be Mario's father. I guess everyone from Arcade DK had offspring and passed their stories down, which then became a generational bond/rivalry between the Mario, Pauline, and DK we know now.

>>715566872
Stop spamming the catalog with your garbage.
Nintendo won this generation, so you need to live with that.

>>715566697
IDK but I really hope K.Rool's boss fight goes like this
>Platforming with using Bananza powers to traverse
>Phase 2 is a 1v1 duel. No Bananza powers or anything, just monke vs croc. K.Rool can also destroy the environment and counter DK's punches

>>715566959
>I'm pretty sure one of the text leaks said Jumpman's explained to be Mario's father.
I really can not see miyamoto allowing his star creation getting this treatment, but then again, he allowed Rare to re-design DK.

>>715566697
He is buried in the Earth as the Banandium Root. The "exposed golden root" is his stomach. He is freed by accident, all the "dead" Kremling statues re-animate, and K. Rool immediately kicks Void Kong's ass and takes over as the antagonist for the rest of the game. Functionally, Void Kong and his lackeys are just there for a bait-and-switch.

>>715566858
no anon, it was just to enable backwards compatibility
you could play any switch 2 game without that update

Man i tried to like the new design but its just way worse than the old one

>>715565042
Some guy responded with this, who's to say if he's lying though

>>715566959
I don't believe that greentext.

>>715567079
How far into the game would this occur? Do we get levels after this twist?

>>715565746
Well this is not what I was expecting to see. Source?

Young Pauline and k Rool in the same game would be seen as fanfiction if you told people a year ago

>>715560972 (OP)
I'm predicting a lower score. Nintendo have been increasing pissing off journos for years.

No review copies for games.
Having their own directs out of nowhere.
Not pandering to DEI agendas.

All of this makes journos seethe and we can see the backlash in real time.

>>715567079
I find this to be the funniest shit ever

Which dead or forgotten IP is Nintendo dead-set on reviving as a potential mass-multimedia franchise next? I have a feeling it's going to be Star Fox. But instead of another dated on-rail shooter, they're going open-galaxy exploration and multiplayer ala No Man's Sky or Star Citizen.

How much Rare era stuff do we know is in the game from people who have played it? Do we get any more returning Kong family besides who we have seen in trailers? Any deep-cuts or references?

>>715567689
Lanky Kong is back. We don't know the context, but the information came from the Baidu leaker.

>>715567359

No professional reviewer does this. A negative review from someone will bring less site traffic for ad revenue than a ChatGPT listicle

>>715567079
>It is very fucking funny and I hope it's received better than Zant getting replaced by Dorf

Zant was cool until his reveal as Ganondorf's lackey and at that point in time, Zelda had already seen other compelling villains like Majora and Vaati. Compare that to Donkey Kong where its only compelling antagonist is still K.Rool after all of these years.

>>715565943
Why are you sperging out. Anyways movement has looked plenty satisfying to me personally. I tried out the demo for a couple minutes and it felt really nice

>>715568039
>professional reviewer
Oxymoron

Now I want a K. Rool spin-off where he sets out to rebuild his empire and get revenge on all the other wanna-be villains in his absence. (Tikis, Snowmads, the Jungle Beat Kongs)

I hope this game doesn't spam moons like odyssey did.

I wish they had released a demo.

>>715568256
You will eat the banana and you will be happy.

Man, idgaf about Mario Kart, but this is the one game I wish was getting a cross generation release for Switch 1 like Pokemon ZA and Metroid Prime will.

>>715568160
Literal shill post.

>>715567191
Hope this guy doesn't just have shit taste

>>715567616
At least with Star Fox there won't be a shitstorm about Fox's design since he gets redesigned every game anyway.

>>715568253
The Ghastly King/Jungle Beat Kongs? I'd leave them out. Those MFs were awesome

>>715568283
there's a playable demo in store kiosks

>>715565754
That’s to beat the game and maybe some extras. It took me about 70 hours to 100% odyssey. And I didn’t even buy all the costumes.

>>715568504
My Walmart no longer has those, and I don't have a Target near me.

>>715565847
None of those are difficult akin to older games imo except maybe Elden Ring

>according to the leaked reviewer, it took him 24 hours to finish the main story with only a quarter of the game's collectibles collected

>>715568937
the word is middling, ESL-kun

>>715568759
No personality with maybe the exception of the Jungle Beat kongs, but they were kinda one-note villains with no real uniqueness beyond their designs. I would say the Void Co. at the very least is doing better at being memorable characters.

>>715568754
It’s going to be longer than DK64 and odyssey. We are eating so good I’m so hyped.

Apparently, Candy is mentioned, but it hasn't been verified.

A screenshot shows KAOS is a fossil and the description even brings up the line about K. Rool's wife.

The ONE thing I wish this game had, was a DK64 multiplayer battle mode. Imagine either a bunch of DK clones fighting each other with collectibles to grab that let you transform into Bananza forms and wreck shit, or a "Capture Pauline" mode. OR have you unlock other Kong family members/Void Co/K.Rool, just for the multiplayer mode as you meet/beat them.

I’m surprised no mention of funky yet.

>24 hours to beat a 3D Mario game is considered short
These games are 6 hours long outside of the Galaxy games which have super slow movement.

>>715569534
You're in denial and it's kind of cute, retard-kun

>>715565943
Yeah that's my concern. If there isn't any crazy movement bullshit figured out when the game releases it's not a good 3D Platformer in my book

>>715569825
Yes and games have gotten much longer lately, especially as prices have increased. 24 hours for a 70 dollar game in 2025 is not great value.

>>715560972 (OP)
90.
at first i wasn't super interested in this game from the trailers and treehouse footage, but the direct REALLY sold me on it.

>>715566939
Breath of the Wild had the worst frame rate issues of any Nintendo game at the time it came out and it won Game Of The Year

>>715569983
go ahead and name some of those longer games anon.

It'll a 94 in a subtle nod to the best DK game

>>715569303
I think the leakers are skipping a bunch of stuff. The main one probably just sped through the game just to see if K. Rool was in. Chinese one went very slowly before getting nuked by Nintendo. Only thing of substance he revealed was the Elephant Bananza, which proved the other's screenshots were real.
>>715569497

>>715570346
Has Nintendo ever given an official name for this game? Everyone calls it Donkey Kong 94, but the title screen seems to imply the full name of it is supposed to be GameBoy Donkey Kong, but I dont think even Nintendo uses that name when advertising it.

>>715570437
Niggq they can't even be asked to properly include/emulate the Super Gameboy improvements for NSO, how badly do you think they'd handle a remake?

>>715570552
>>Void Kong may actually unironically be Wizpig
wut

>>715570763
I think just Donkey Kong goin off the box art, not sure. Seen both Donkey Kong '94 and Donkey Kong (GB) to differentiate

Have we seen any spoilers posted of the game trying to reference Banjo or Conker in any legally subtle, but pretty obvious to gaymers ways?

>>715570873
Some people unironically believed a shitty photoshop of Wizpig even though he's owned by Microsoft.

>>715571021
No but I'm 100% sure Banjo would be in this if Rare was still 2nd-party

>still no DK64 on NSO
when will the GOAT n64 have it's time of day?

inb4 it FLOPS tomorrow and tendies spam the board with fake sales numbers like with the shitch 2. This board will be unusable for a week due to coping. Also spoiler alert: donkey kong transitions a few hours into the game

>>715571134
I would think Nintendo has the rights to him since he was still in the DS version of Diddy Kong Racist.

>>715571251
I was looking for the tranny joke. You hit the quota, anon.

Rare developed that version since Microsoft let them do handheld work for the GBA/DS at that time since it wasn't a market for them.

>>715571436
eric has a humiliation fetish

Where is Snake Bananza?

>>715571148
Considering the Banjo games are on the Switch online, Microsoft would actually gain so much respect from people if they were just cool enough to let Banjo show up in the game as an npc somewhere. No asking for money out of it, just a sign of good faith to their partnership with Nintendo and the equivalent of Geno in Superstar Saga.

>Ostrich is at layer 600
>Elephant is at layer 900 (chinese guy got here before being nuked)
>It goes deeper than layer 1500, which is called Feast Layer

So probably Snake Bananza is between 1000-1400. There is apparently an industrial type layer with pipes and shit so Snakes could fit there

Genuinely peeved about it being easier than fucking Kirby. I'm obviously not expecting a super hardcore platformer from Nintendo but it shouldn't be that easy.

Correct, it's a picture of Pauline.

I'm sure it'll be good but holy fuck it will not compete with E33. Do not set your expectations that high

>>715572395
Kirby's an obnoxious series because it has really fucking great and challenging bosses in the true arena but you're forced to go through a mediocre platformer and do almost everything else in the game just to play that content. It's like if in Touhou you had to play through easy mode first to unlock Lunatic.

I adore Donkey Kong, but I'm perfectly fine if E33 is the award darling this year. Long as this game's a big hit, I'm more than glad. Least it would feel more like a respectable runner-up than a case like Tears of the Kingdom, where the game felt more polarizing compared to the sudden star child of BG3. (Think both of those games are great and don't really have a huge horse in that race, but that was definitely the wider consensus that year.)

>>715574197
I haven't played them all, but I wouldn't call the platforming parts of these game 'mediocre', they're all firmly in the good to great territory anon. Even Squeak Squad

Will be a bunch of 7's, total meta will be in the high 70's, low 80's.

Go look at the n64 render and then Void Kong again, you will see.

>>715560972 (OP)
a donkey kong out of 10.

>>715574212
just wanted to say this has been my desktop background for years so you tripped me up for a second

OOOOOH WOKEANA!

Imagine of pic related gets in as a fossil. Or are the fossils only Country-related.

>>715573503
It's going to get a lot of 6s and 7s because journos are already made at Nintendo about no longer getting free copies and they have nothing to lose to shit on Nintendo at this point. Can't lose more than they already don't have.

>>715573647
DS2 is only even in the running because people know Geoff will try to gas it up.

>>715574358
Most of the modern 2D games are kinda bad aside from boss rushes and music but the older games are pretty good. The best ones are Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dream Land 3

>perfect review scores for the company that denies your ownership
gaming is a joke

>>715574638
Speaking of renders, someone made a 90s Pauline render.

>>715574809
Death Stranding lost GOTY, Geoff will definitely gas it up but his opinions don't effect the winners thankfully

Why do Nintendo first party games make certain people on this board absolutely lose their mind? It’s bananas.

>>715574495
New DK is so motherfucking ugly

I'm just telling you what I have been hearing.

>>715567040
>nintendo won the exclusive race that nobody else was competing in
ok? lol

>>715574809
Ds2 is absolute ass. It’s a watered down MGSV that’s trying to be a European Netflix drama. The game isn’t higher than a 7/10 on a good day. The first is like a 6. Bothe games get a pass because the concept is novel.

>>715574984
Ok, that doesn't mean you have to spam the catalog with garbage.

8.8

>>715574680
All the fossils we've seen thus far was from the SNES DKC trilogy or the Retro duology.

I imagine there will probably be something for 64 but I dunno about Jungle Beat and Jungle Climber.

>>715569048
Example?

If Rool and the Kremlings are back, going forward, it would be cool if they recycled the OC Kremlings from Barrel Blast as the main Koopaling like henchmen of K. Rool.
>scene where pic gets into a childish hair tugging fight with Lil Pauline/Dixie

>>715567079
This seems like a lot of extrapolation from one image. Are you sure this isn't largely speculation for now?

>>715575202
I'd imagine they'd want to make their own Kremling OCs should they continue to use them in the future.

>>715575164
>dunno about Jungle Beat and Jungle Climber
I bet there are, but nobody has shown any pics of them because they don't recognize the reference. Something like that.

>>715575164
>or the Retro duology
Such as?

>>715573647
>walking sim that was forgotten in a week and pretty ubisoft game
lol no, if theres any other game its Metroid Prime 4 is Retro doesn’t screw it up

>>715575316
Checkpoint Pig.

>>715573647
amusing bait

>>715575183
I dont think any of those games had any actual in-game dialogue from the bads, nor Rare style manuals/dialogue building them up.

>>715575393
>Tanabe directed game
>not screwing up
You may want to sit down.

>>715575313
The head dev supposedly said he played EVERY DK game when making this, so i imagine every game will get something.

>>715573647

Why is Wizpig using a Kong Bananza?

I am forgotten...

>>715575643
Dude there are monkeys that look that frazzled.

>>715575727
If they straight up said that bananza DK is JR. I could forgive his shit redesign.

>>715567616
Nintendo is 100% letting Miyamoto make a Pikmin movie before he croaks regardless of whether or not it'd sell

How do we not know why Pauline is young?

>>715574951

>>715576164
It doesn't matter that much. A wizard did it.

>>715573647
> Basedtei
Yes you are a joke

>>715576164
It's not the point Nintendo wants you to care about.

>>715575305
Didn't Nintendo sign off on the designs Paon made for the Kremling OCs? Paon is about as home grown Japanese made Kremlings as any. So what's wrong with bringing them back under a different context from a game they were used once?

>>715576164
If there’s no proper explanation, then my head-canon is simply that she’s time-displaced. Or that in Mario games, she’s a grown-up, and in Donkey Kong games, she’s a teen-child. And that’s it.

>>715576720
Chink leaker doesn't want to spoil anything related to the story in the thread, they are taking PMs though.

They cute

>>715576946
and what are the real ones?

>>715560972 (OP)
Reviews aren't out yet? I know that journos were whining about not getting early SW2 review consoles.

New design is here to stay and there's nothing you contrarians can do about it

>>715577126
>there's nothing you can do about it
I can call you a retarded shiteater with no taste, and I can be right saying it. That's enough.

>>715570642
Yeah what the hell does that even mean? What have they done different with marketing this game that they havent done anywhere else?

>>715576510
Like taking a photo of your expensive meal after you ate it. Beautiful mind

>>715574208
i just need that final piece of confirmation to fall into place these next 2 days will be agonizing

Why isn't Pauline on DK's back in the credits?
Where is she?

>>715577187

>>715576994
shartline is so annoying in this game

>>715576994
Look at her go!

>>715567321
Yeah. Some cartridges may have further updates on them though.

>>715577427
DK becomes the new ruler of the Hollow Earth

>>715576510
Did he rike it?

Am I insane for wanting a new Mario Vs. Donkey Kong game, but instead of Mario, it’s called ‘Donkey Kong & Pauline’, featuring the lil’ Pauline and the new DK design?

>>715576843
K.rool has an official Amiibo so no

>>715574096
The gold belly is the most iconic part of his design, maybe even more so than his blood shot eye. Never noticed it before but he does look kinda naked without any scale texturing. Most dk games usually give the kongs fur texturing anyway. This design was only used in spin off games so I never saw or heard that many people get to complain about it.

>>715577290
14 hours for 100% completion. About 4-6 if you just focus the objectives and story. Typical barebones Nintendo game being sold for $80.

>>715575942

88 is my prediction

"Waaaaaah!"

>>715577647
>DK, lemme get back to my home

>>715577691
I just want to see some video/music at this point

Who did Pauline go home to?

>>715577708
not possible, pauline jr would have to stay with her family

>>715577708
Maybe it’s like Cappy where he said he wanted to save his sister,but then in the post game he says now he wants to continue adventuring with Mario. So maybe there’s a post-credit scene where Pauline returns to DK(since you need her to transform and co-op)

>>715577584
I want Pauline to star in a Neo-noir detective game taking place in New Donk City with the same visual style as Hotel Dusk.

>>715577895
So perhaps something happens.

>>715577678
That’s fine, I’ll just buy two copies instead to make up for it

>>715577879

>>715578016
Who is that?

Eddie the Yeti brother

Wait, my bad.
I remembered it was Eddie from the DKC cartoon.

DK Bananza was moved from Switch 1 to 2 in 2021 and here's a graphical comparison of the versions. Ppl are on crack they think a game that already has sections where the fps drops would handle the Switch 1 just fine. MK World also had a troubled development in terms of getting it to run on Switch 1 too

Holy based.

>>715577431
This game is the biggest celebration of Rare's contributions to Nintendo's history since they left. A whole new generation will understand their classiness with all the love letters the japs have left for their adoration for those cheeky britbongs.

>and then Kam- shit I mean Void Kong's magic made him very big!

>>715577584
I want adult Pauline to become the "princess" of New Donk as its mayor and have more games set in the cityscape, like a Stanley game where he goes around doing odd-jobs for different city residents/the mayor.

Is this the remnants of the Krocodile Kore from DKC2?

>>715580006
Makes sense
Are there any filler ones just used for a boss fight like in Odyssey?

>>715579601
The reason this design wins out is because Donkey Kong needs to be a hero character alongside Mario, he can't be a rival.

>>715561221
If you don't think the nintendo bonus is real you're probably mentally ill.

so
>16 levels
>no post game

I like the new DK Design cause it's inline with the mario 3 portraits/ something Miyamoto would draw.

>>715564293
Considering the only other game with big voxel environment is Minecraft. This is a huge step up. Also, Minecraft isn’t really voxel either. It’s rendered in pixels and stored data in voxel.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a real voxel game. This is the first game with full voxel tech to look this good like an actual 3D game. Minecraft is pixelated.

>>715579424

kremlin if he real

Apparently each layer is also made up of multiple levels using the same theme, I've heard.

>>715580178
They do that shit with Mario games and Bowser anyway.

>>715578758
Does this mean the food level is the last full stage? That's kind of odd.

>>715579419
People like Pauline because she is a female child. People love Rool because he is an iconic and fun nigga.
Learn the difference.

>>715566902
I beat Odyssey on my first playthrough while exploring a good bit (not getting every moon asap but getting a lot more than needed) and beat it in about 12 hours.

>>715579424
kremlin if he real

>>715580318
If seems Bananza exists specifically because the odyssey team love this part and wanted to make a whole game out of it.

>>715580139
its not that impressive. If you carve out a big piece of land, it just floats there. There's no physics implemented.

>>715580297
But 4chan posters would never lie to us.

>>715580297

I think they're extrapolating off >>715577427 which shows no Pauline.

>>715580405
Pauline...

93 is my guess

>>715580415
He's a rival in the races only, it seems

im sure it will be a fun game and ill enjoy it but you guys really glaze nintendo games way too much. its a collectathon with destructable terrain and a generic artstyle, is that really a 95/100 masterpiece just because its nintendo and theres no other switch 2 games? its just seems silly to me

>>715580415
>but do you get to play with him at any point?
No that's definitely not happening

>>715580343
He's basically a Bowser expy, so it's just as shallow all things considered.

PROFESSOR CHOPS BROS... WE'RE FUCKING BACK

I really hope one is a recreating of original DK arcade where you have to climb a tower and save Pauline from him.

>>715580461
>you guys really glaze nintendo games way too much. its a collectathon with destructable terrain and a generic artstyle, is that really a 95/100 masterpiece just because its nintendo and theres no other switch 2 games? its just seems silly to me
Well Nintendo does make 9-10/10 games with the emphasis on fun so what are you gonna do.

>>715580507
>Squitter is fucking dead
I blame the recent aracnophobia fags for this.

>>715580389
Galaxy has the Luma outright die in the ending, but you can just pick up right after that for reaching 120 Stars. Seems like a non-issue.

>>715580507
Squidder my beloved..

Why did they redesign DK but keep Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky looking almost exactly the same? Now they look out of place beside DK.

>>715579683
Doesnt go hard enough,

Only saving grace would be K. Rool was behind the Tiki's and convinced the snowmads to live on DK isl.

HAHAHAAAAA

How do you plan on customizing your Dong and loli?

>>715580507
it would be grim to see Kiddy in the fossil...

>>715580664
Shit posting material

>>715580507
think of the lore implications

Mugly was the best design from Retro

>>715580664
Why did it matter when MKW got lower than 90?

>>715580507
Praying there's something Jungle Beat related in the fossils. Like, show me the skeleton of this guy.

>>715578758
>ive literally been refreshing this site all god damn day long, just to find out if a cartoon crocodile from a 30 year old video game is going to have even a small cameo appearance in the newest game made for children.

Worth it.

So no cool leaks at all, just a fucking picture of credits. Worst leakers ever

>>715580648
>Disliking the retro game because no k rool
Very shallow of you especially when they are good games and deserve some callbacks like this.

Nintendo usually have their assigned reviewers for the Nintendo bonus, yes i agree.

This is Cultural Appropriation. The sentence? 20 years debating the lore of Mario Bros 2.

>>715580602
i think people dont correctly use ratings if they say all nintendo games are 9-10/10

>>715579860
This should have been the theme when he makes his first appearance in Bananza.

>>715580507
>leaker mentioned Lanky is somewhere in the game
>yfw he could be a fucking fossil

>>715580747
it didn't, not to me. why do you think someone asking why people care about score aggregates would care about an aggregated score? you stupid?

>>715580712
Oh shit, the leaker said that Lanky is in the game, but didn't wanted to spoil in which form
I think he is dead, bros..

>>715580856
nonono
HE can't be.....

>>715580856
Most likely answer but also the lamest

>>715580461
What genre of game does deserve a 95/100? Rating games by numbers has always seemed alien to me. It’s supposed to be an easy way to assess a rating but it just kinda complicates since 80/100 means different things to different people. I could only ever rate stuff based on “I like that game” or “I don’t like that game”

>>715580861
People will often care when it's in their favor

>>715580116
Nah, fuck dlc. It would just be some stupid shit unrelated to real content like Odyssey. I rather have a complete game as it is for once in this hell of an era.

>>715580507
Is there a way to select and rotate each individual fossil?

>>715580893
Actually the funniest
>HE HAD

>>715580635
Those three were already touched up in the 2000s. Same deal with Funky and K. Rool.

HE HAS NO LIFE
HE HAS NO BREATH
TH-TH-TH-TH-THIS KONG IS FOSSILIZED AND DEAD

I am waiting for one of the leakers to post a screenshot of Odyssey Pauline and New Pauline hugging eachother.

What's this game called again

No, it gets that score because its basically the only high quality game on the market that is a big 3D platformer.

>>715580491
He is more devious, goofy and full of himself than Bowser is (besides maybe RPGs). A lot of that charm did also come from the fact that he was a Rare creation and not another jap made villain.
