Thread 715580425

How many hours left until the review embargo lifts?

>>715580425 (OP)
Why does the root look like K.Rool's fucking belly? Id on't get it.

Is it a fakeout? ie K.Rool is lying on his back, they see his belly jutting out, think it's it, then go for it? Or something else?

Bang on or bogus?

Where were you when Squitter fucking died

>>715581089
so the game is a sequel or prequel??

>>715581089
Not the sneaker spider! I can live without the pig, but Squitter was the goat!

>>715581294
It's a sequel to the DKC games at least

>>715581294
It's post-apocalyptic too, apparently

>>715580425 (OP)
So there's a Diddy sidequest a la Atreus or not?

>>715581452
Then why is everybody dead

>>715581418
Next it's gonna be Wrinkly Kong's fossil

>>715581473
waaat

>>715581089
>>715581473
>every fossil has an unique icon
Damn, what a waste of dev time.

>>715581617
I don't know but there's way to many callbacks to DKC that it's definitely after the DKC games.

>>715581821
Thats what we call "soul"

>>715581617
because nintendo hates their fans

>>715581473
>ammonite fossil has some iridescent ammolite mixed in

Diddy fucked that...

>>715585874
He can’t sing

>>715580425 (OP)
Diddy sidequest ends with wizpig.

This nigga has a wife

>>715586195

He's a prize catch, why wouldn't he be married?

His dumb obsession with a bunch of monkeys who keep beating his ass

I predict a 95 minimum

>>715580425 (OP)
Most likely 12 hours, noon EST.

Famitsu: 38/40

For comparison:

Super Mario Odyssey: 39/40
Astrobot: 36/40
Kirby and the Forgotten Land: 36/40
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: 36/40

It’s fucking over lmao

>>715590225
Holy shit snoys btfo

>>715590332
How

>>715590375
38/40 is quite bad by Famitsu standards

>>715590406
What’s good by Famitsu standards

>>715590468
41/40

>>715581821
They've been working on this game for over 5 years, their UI designers would've shit those out within a week while twiddling their thumbs with barely anything else to do.

>>715590468
They just gave Death Stranding 2 a 39/40

>>715590579
Yea but didn't this year's inevitable goty Expedition 33 a 36?

>>715580425 (OP)
Why do these characters suddenly feel like they're being shafted out of their own game now? Like they're reduced to comical easter egg references.

>>715590225
OH NO NO NO. SNOYSISSIES, OUR RESPONSE? IT EVEN ASSBLASTED OUR OWN BING BING WAHOO, WHICH TOTALLY WON GOTY LEGIT AND WASN'T PURCHASED!

>>715590694
The one legit bias Famitsu has is that they rate non Japanese games lower.

>>715580425 (OP)
Dixie going nopan is the hottest shit, I'd fuck that monkey senseless anytime.

>>715590225
astrobot is fucking garbage

>>715590468
I don't think I've ever seen them give a score below a 30

>>715581089
SQUITTERBROS??? WE GOT TOO COCKY

>>715580425 (OP)
Diddy hugging Dixie with his tail is too cute

>>715590694
You think they'd be able to give it the rightful 40/40? A ragtag group of Frenchoids making their first game BTFO an entire genre that's decades old. I can only imagine how embarrassed they felt playing the game knowing grorious nippon was utterly mogged.

>>715590895
Astro Bot is amazing and was actually challenging unlike Bananza

>>715591059
What if they're not gay?

>>715591157
it's a movie platformer "game"

>>715591157
bananza is objectively better than astro flop that didn't even sell 5 million copies

>>715581473
>>715588987
WAKE ME UP INSIDE

>>715591157
Nah. Lots of really shitty mechanics. It's a great game, still, but you like it because it's a bunch of PlayStation fanservice.

>>715591194
The game has zero fags, all women are sexy, one is barefoot by default, and the rest all get bikini costumes where they're barefoot, including the 16 year old. Only actual homos projecting or pajeets would find anything about it gay.

>>715591157
asrobot was boring af, didnt even finished it unlike bananza

>>715591157
>and was actually challenging
Nobody is buying this shit. Even the tranniest of Snoytrannies understand that their BING BING WAHOO clone only won GOTY because of paid Snoy bonuses.

>>715591157
Given the history of every other game ever made by the team that made Bananza I can guarantee with 100% certainty that the post game challenge levels / areas for bananza will make the absolute hardest levels from astro bot look like easy mode shit

>>715591412
Okay sweaty, glad you enjoyed your first Mario RPG french edition

>>715591478
We already know from the Chinese leaker that there is no post game level. Just the equivalent of Odyssey adding extra moons to previous levels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEhcSat-bpw
what would he say if this game had a manual?

>>715591724
Won't know for sure until someone collects all the bananas

>>715580425 (OP)
the obsession over this game is interesting. But who cares about diddy and dixie showing up for like 0.5 seconds in the trailer? Genuine question/inquiry

>>715590579
How does this affect DK

>>715591724
You unlocked the secret levels by collecting a huge number of moons in Odyseey, I don't think the chick dude did that. It's safe to asumme we still haven't seen the secret levels.

>>715591157
>was actually challenging unlike Bananza
I platinumed Astro Bot and there's only like 2 actually hard levels in the game

>Motokura: Well now... In a long-running series, novelty and continuity are both important, but we wanted this title to fully convey the appeal of Donkey Kong as a character. Meanwhile, we thought that by creating something new, leveraging our experience developing 3D Mario games, we'd have the opportunity to create two separate branches – 2D Donkey Kong and 3D Donkey Kong – just as we did with Mario games. So, keeping in mind that this game will come to symbolize 3D Donkey Kong, and with the theme of bringing Donkey Kong's strengths and new actions to the forefront, we thought the concept of “destruction” would be a good fit.

>I'm seeing people taking Nintendo's comments about there being 2D & 3D Donkey Kong going forward as Retro continuing with 2D Donkey Kong, No that's copium. It's unlikely Retro returns to Donkey Kong again, there were unique circumstances at play to allow them to make the DK games. Retro's original existence was to make games for Nintendo that they themselves couldn't make. There are so many internal teams that can make a 2D Donkey Kong game, there is NO ONE other than Retro that can make a Metroid Prime game at the caliber they make them. I am not saying they are going to become the Metroid Prime studio, I imagine after Prime 4 they will do Prime 5 then move onto another IP due to franchise fatigue. I am also not saying that Retro aren't capable they certainly are, and Tropical Freeze is easily Top 5 2D Platformers ever made but we are in a different era of Nintendo and a different era of Retro. I just want to keep everyone's expectations in check here.

>>715592706
For the game specifically? Not a god damn chance, there's only so much you can do with an almost full roster of characters that only speak in gibberish.
He might make a new one for the cartoon though

>>715420685
OH NO NO NO NO PFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>715592793
the master neckies lived, very and really gnawty weren't as lucky.

>>715592930
yeah I meant using the cartoon

>>715592857
>It's unlikely Retro returns to Donkey Kong again
I really like Tropical Freeze, but I don't mind. They create a very ugly aesthetic for enemies that this game seems to have greatly improved on. Amazing environments, music, and concepts but yeah, that's alright. I like the faster flow to the old DKC games too, like when you want to speed through levels.
Worst loss is the fact that 2D games will probably be easy and overly accessible.

I swear if none of this comes to world...

>>715581452
>>715581473
The Underground World exists inside a time-flux that’s 10 million years in the future compared to the surface world. That’s why the animals wear clothes and stand upright. They evolved. But everything from the Country-Era, including the Kremlins are considered ancient, fossilized history down there. K. Rool uses the Banana energy to revive his ancient crew to weak havoc. That’s the big plot twist.K Rool actually explains it to Pauline, since DK is too stupid to understand

Would you a Dixie?

>>715581821
Yeah I'm sure it was so time intensive. Retard.

>>715593385
No, I'm not into animals but I'd love to have Dixie Kong around as a friend who's free to come and go as she pleases

I'd say they'd be retarded not to but considering the everything else about World I'd say no bad decision is off the table
I still can't believe that DK has fewer costumes than fucking Lakitu and that Dry Bones doesn't get a day of the dead alt

Hey buddy, put that heckin' chonker back where it belongs! This is a blue board for goodness sake!

>>715581979
Too***

I really want to see K. Rool in this style they have drawn up for the loading screens. I saw that the screens also include Pauline and Grumpy Kong so here’s holding out hope

>>715594004
No,she’s from another timeline

Wait so if she's not de-aged does that mean Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are canonically older than Mario?

>>715593873
K Rool in Mario Kart

>>715592024
post the thread where this was first posted

>>715594076
If he gets added to MKW I'll unironically 'main' the krock.

>>715594098
>>715578758

>>715593873
Proper DKC I guess but it won't be as aggressive since we have to know a new DKC even exists
Maybe the movie but if this is the Kremling's grand return to the series I don't see why Universal would go with any other villain
Honestly Kremlingfags aren't opposed to other Donkey Kong villains, they just wanted the Kremlings to reappear especially since that interview seemed so dismissive toward them

>>715593885
>>715593890
fuck

>>715594075
Where this new info coming from? Has it been confirmed a prequel?

>>715593925
So business as usual then

>>715594004
>>715594074
Where did you hear this?

>>715592857
This is a pretty big leap to conclusions, Metroid Prime isn't some yearly cuck mine like CoD, Nintendo isn't going to lock up Retro in the MP shed forever.
Nor is Nintendo going to assign some new team to 2D DK when they a perfectly competent team available to do it, the whole of expanding is to put more resources in series that don't have any key developers already.
Plus Retro really needs to start pulling their weight again after a decade wasting resources on a sloppy original game that Nintendo had to step in and cancel.

>>715590225
Subtract the Nintendo tax and it’s a 45

BALD FRAUD TANABE LOST EAT SHIT

>>715594261
Macaco go play Astrobot

How the fuck did that chinese guy manage to smuggle both switch 2 AND an unreleased game for it?

>>715594369
why would he need to smuggle a switch 2 he could just own one

>>715594369
>smuggle
His IP says he's in the US

>>715594294
I don't know why Tanabe hasn't been let go, he tried taking Metroid Prime away from Retro twice and it was huge disasters both times. Its clear when he has successes it in spite of him, not because of him.

>>715594062
I wonder if we'll get a new render/official art, or if they won't make one since he's one of Nintendo's rare twist villains. If I never have to see this fucking image ever again it'll be too soon.

>>715594294
He won't fully die until we get our true Paper Mario 3

>>715594246
>Nintendo isn't going to lock up Retro in the MP shed forever.
He outright admits this especially because Retro very, VERY dislikes franchise fatigue on a historical basis.
I think his point is more that they got the groundwork for Prime 5 already done especially with their recruits over the years come from backgrounds involved in major AAA titles.
In an ideal world Retro would have multiple teams making major projects that actually come out and at a solid pace because they're essentially (on paper) a Western AAA studio with none of the caveats associated with those studios because they're owned by Nintendo.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Metroid Prime 4 even with all its grandeur still isn't as bloated, costly, etc as contemporary big western AAA games

Nice fanfic

>>715594460
What are these retards staring at?

>>715594483
Definitely
If it is gonna be his grand return and Bananza is setting up the new status quo of the series going forward I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an evergreen render for promotional and licensing reasons

>>715593741
Dry Bones has none, DK and Pauline only have 1, meanwhile Baby Roslopina has fucking 5.

>>715594541
she is pretty andu she is chcuvhuvhv a a am a

>>715594543
Really? Only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Hades, TP Ganondorf, and Magolor. Usually Nintendo's pretty upfront about who the bad guy is.

>>715594472
Ha ha luigi mansion 3 sold 10s of millions. Tanabe's a top 10 creative executive at nintendo by now.

>>715594557
Pauline is gonna help DK beat his ass.

>>715594483
This render is so fucking bad why is his belly not golden wtf it's his entire design

>no muscle memory because I never grew up with it as a kid (was a sonic fag)
>doing alright until the vulture level and lose a fuck ton of lives
God damn my age is starting to catch up with me...I want to beat this so I can play a good chunk of DKC 2.

All in all though what a cool platformer. It's aged gracefully well, I'm just having skill issues here

>>715594823
Can't get mad at lakitu. He's been there from day 1 starting races and picking players up from the void.

>>715593873
Really, not much. The push for him in Smash was to lead up to his appearance in Bananza. Now if they decide to make new villains and neglect the Kremlings and Rool again, we'll be coming back swinging and shouting again.

>>715594681
>>715594751
>>715594806
>>715594860
ay you good bruh?

>>715594857
I do not think story elements are going to ruin a DK game. I am here for platforming and physics based destruction puzzles. Fairly hard to spoil that unless you see a video.

Honestly though I think Nintendo made a mistake not putting K Rool in the marketing. The guy is a much bigger draw than they realize he is and knowing he's in the game could probably convince many to buy it.

>>715594860
???????

>>715594956
I'm not trying to look for spoilers thoughbeit. I just wanted to apologize for being wrong about K. Rool.

>>715593873

>>715594770
>Dry Bones, a mainstay since DS and brought back in 8 by sheer popular demand, gets lumped in with the rando NPCs
>Lakitu gets two alternate costumes, placed smack dab in the middle of the main cast, and gets his own kart

>>715594975
Use Funky to travel to a previous world and farm lives, I think that's the best way to 'git gud' in DKC1 by sheer force of will.

>>715594543
>>715594995
>they decide to make new villains and neglect the Kremlings
What if they make new villains AND the Kremlings are still prominent?
Like the new DKC has Kremlings, new 3D game has new villains, the Kremlings still show up in spin-offs, have merch, etc and the first two just rotate

>>715595050
Sounds like a bitch move. What happens if you get a game over in DKC1? does it seriously send my ass back to world 1?

>>715595061
Fuck I didn't mean to reply to the first guy

>>715595021
>put the last 20 minutes of the game in the marketing

>>715593712
Only the retarded still believed that Miyamoto's Mario Mandate was a thing after the Mario Movie with brooklynite HEY PAISANOS Mario
Toadsworth Tandate, on the other hand...

>>715595086
You're the faggot struggling with goddamn Vulture Culture, don't talk to me about bitch moves. With a Game Over, you get sent to the beginning of that world and your progress in that world is reset unless you've saved at Candy's.

kremling designs are still popular to this day. the returns games are great but no one gives a shit about the enemies from those games.

>>715594956
Because I ain't getting baited into buying a game that doesn't have what I want. The leakers leaked K.Rool, I wanted K. Rool, I got K. Rool and now I'm going to buy this game and a Switch 2. I wanna know what's what before I fucking buy it blindly. Being a new DK game wasn't enough; K. Rool HAD to be present as the main villain in this game. It was all or nothing.

I'm actually sick of surprises as of late, show me what's what and I'll determine if it's worth my time.

>>715595128
NTA but he has a point if you remember how people lost their minds over K. Rool being revealed in Smash. If they had shown off even a HINT of K. Rool and not a cryptic one, people would have lost their minds. Even without his appearance though everyone seemed really pleased with it, so I guess it wasn't needed. This game is gonna be nuts.

>>715593237
Ellie please, Kiddy no, the poor boy called the other kongs as "big bros".

>>715595191
What a tool

>>715595149
I'm a huge mandatefag and even I'll say it's dead now or at least most of what was "anti-fun" about it
That said, if you can't tell the difference between today and the NSMB era you're an idiot

So like do we know ANY story details?

>>715595162
Okay that's not so bad. I'm not calling you a bitch man...I just suck and I'm really scared right now. If I beat this next level I can get a Candy save, thank you

>>715595045
Lakitu's been a mainstay since the SNES game, he's basically synonymous with Mario Kart

New leak from the verified leakers

Voids wish is to turn all humans into monkeys so he can rule over them. He attempts to chronologically reverse the humans of new donk city with his magic but it just turns them into kids so he turns them into rocks until he can get to the core to get his wish. Pauline has to reach the core to return everyone to normal
K. Rool and the kremlings build a time machine to attempt to take over the world before DK was born but they go back too far and arrive right before the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hits and they parish with them. That meteor was actually a shooting star that grants wishes and gets stuck in the earth's core and a golden banana seed that K. Rool brought back with him starts to grow around it. Pauline sings at what all the characters think is the earth's core but is actually K. Rool, Void tries to get his wish but K. Rools wish is granted instead(he wanted himself and all the kremlings to be alive again) because his corpse was touching the banadium root

>>715595197
if he's literally the last boss, that's obvious spoilers.

>>715595190
People do like Snowmads, their leader is somewhat contentious though

>advertise the game as a reboot
>it's actually a sequel
KINO

>>715595272
Yeah but like...It's K. Rool! I guess they really wanted people to experience that firsthand though. It's understandable, because people really are gonna soiface when they see he's the final boss

>>715594857
job hunting is a bitch and even if I had at least one successful catch I'd still have to wait months before I even got this game, or a switch 2, for that matter

>>715595272
>>715595128
Yeah but they show Bowser in the promotion of every Mario game and no one seems upset. Chances are people would be more upset to not see Bowser be the villain unless it's some game where Mario and Bowser team up for some reason.

People fucking love K Rool. I will stand by the idea that marketing that K Rool is in the game would make the game sell more. Not that it needs that of course, and then word of mouth that K Rool is in will probably get more people on the train.

>>715595251
My bad lmao good luck. Ice World is fucking brutal for first timers. Just a warning. Probably the hardest no save/No Funky stretch in the series, IIRC.

>>715595149
Toadsworth's situation is so fucking funny. Like that random blue toad in the movie was definitely supposed to be him. His latest appearance was a remake of ttyd. Nintendo refuses to acknowledge his existence.

>>715595269
>K. Rool and the kremlings build a time machine
welcome back picrel

>>715595197
"Youtubers REACT to K.Rool in Donkey Kong Bananza!" is actually a valid form of advertisement

>>715595308
I agree.

>>715595235
Wonder isn't magically erasing the "standard look" of the characters anon

>>715595349
>Yeah but they show Bowser in the promotion of every Mario game
bowser's usually in early cutscenes or is the boss at multiple points in the game so it's not really a spoiler

>>715595061
They better be worth not using the Kremlings. The Tikis and the Snomads paled in comparison to them. The latter was great until Lord Fredrik turned out to be diet K. Rool. And I say this as someone who wanted Fredrik as an echo fighter or clone of K. Rool in Smash.

>>715595220
Fuck you too, All that work over the course of a decade to bring him back is vindicating as shit and I'm glad to be proven wrong and eating my words about Nintendo hating K. Rool. But you best believe that they dragged their feet with DK after Rare left, so this wasn't just related to Smash, this was going on before a good chunk of /v/ was even born. Seeing K. Rool in this high-budget game as the main villain means a lot to me. The people who were bitching about the Kremlings wanted to support Donkey Kong more than the fans who simply wanted a new DK game regardless.

>>715595269
if this is true that'd be kino

>>715592024
Need this as the intro theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbFMvtFxnWc&list=RDZbFMvtFxnWc

>>715581089
Meh, I bet in the next DK game they will resurrect all of them...including the stupid pig

>>715595349
bowser shows up at the start of most mario games. k rool being a twist villain and at the end of the game means he can't be in the marketing material.

>>715590883
I’d love to receive Footjobs from her with a tight grip of her hand-feet

>>715595428
See this is what I'm trying to get through to you.

You are so obsessed with this concept of "spoilers" in a game that is 99% about platforming and listening to a monkey yell over bananas that you are missing the part that just letting people get "spoiled" will make this game sell significantly more copies when they realized one of the most beloved Nintendo characters is returning for it.

Think how literally hundreds of YouTubers freaked the fuck out when they showed revived Ganondorf in the last Zelda TotK trailer. And that's a game where people care vastly more about the story. Bringing back a beloved villain is a massive selling point that this game isn't capitalizing on.

Again I think this game will sell just fine, but it would sell more if people knew about K Rool.

Retvrn to monke? No, I don't think I will.
Retvrn to Krocodile Kore? Yessssssss

Is there nothing left to ask for from Nintendo now that K. Rool and the Kremlings are back? Maybe a good F-Zero, I don't know.

>>715595269
This isn't a bad plot but there's no way this is real

>>715595581
>See this is what I'm trying to get through to you.
I'm not even who replied before
>You are so obsessed with this concept of "spoilers"
not even gonna bother reading the rest, nintendo/the team behind this game clearly cares a great deal so go ahead and tell them instead

>>715594557
Am I the only one who thinks his super geometric scales looks kinda bad?

So if by any reason theres no post game content at all, I think we might see DLC. Game has "in game purchases", remember?

>>715594857
>Best Buy and Targets in my state are sold out on Switch 2's.
>I have had shit worth less gotten 'lost in the mail' (read: fucking stolen), for far less then the pricepoint of a Switch 2 and I am not up for the 2-3 week long debate with mail services and carriers just to get my shit that's now opened, damaged, and impossible to send back for a refund due towards said hassle.
I will not have a Switch 2 till next year when people stop buying them in droves. It's not worth crossing 2+ states just to physical nab one, and I'm not one to trust the mail services in my state.

>>715595581
anon k.roll in bananza is going to be spoiled everywhere on day 1. the youtube click baiters are ready and waiting.

>>715595763

I'm not a fan of Golden Sun or StarTropics, but those are some examples I can think of.

>>715595672
Make a good Yoshi again

>>715595672
A Smash game with good netcode

>>715595874
Fuck Yoshi. It's a redundant franchise when Mario/DK/Kirby does everything better

Perfect scores for the perfect girl

>>715595874
I still think the Yoshi series could make for a decent-quality babby's first Metroidvania.

Also, there isn't a single sign of Snake Bananza. Hmmmmm......

>>715596016
I will enjoy your tears when you realise it's not

>>715595857
Wait, a few more.
>Bring back Starfy, potentially translate the first four games in a collection and I usually hate collections of older games but this one could benefit from it

Dumb but funny DKC2 video from like 17 years ago I still watch occasionally because the song cracks me up:
https://youtu.be/JxuvqD6tGLg?si=3kZ8noht1eubZ8om

Man, 11 fucking years for a new DK, just to see the series back feels good.
Really hope they plan on making a new 2D one too.

>>715596130
>got a whole bunch of bananas but I aint got nothin for answers
Good shit

>>715596279
The interview confirmed there's some team tasked with its future whether it'd be EPD or Retro is in the air
What if they collaborated like with Mario Kart 7?

Should I switch my best buy shipping to store pickup??

>>715595672
As a GX autist I do not want a new F-Zero game. I know that it is functionally impossible to replicate the black alchemy of SEGA's arcade division and Nintendo's home console division working together at the exact perfect time to make a 60fps racing game that makes perfect use of analog triggers. Not to mention the Joy-Con 2s and Pro controller do not even have analog triggers.

What I actually want is just a mod of F-Zero GX on the Gamecube emulator that allows 30 people to race all at once, with each player having the full screen to themselves as if they were playing a single player Grand Prix. I do not know if Nintendo can make such a thing possible, but that is all I want. I would rather let F-Zero GX stand immortal as the greatest racing game ever made without tarnishing it's legacy with a substandard sequel.

Barring that, I want the Switch 3 to have analog triggers. Do not attempt to make a new F-Zero game unless the new console has analog triggers. That is all.

>>715592763
Forget Tiny, where the heck is Candy?

Candy appears so little in the series it's easy for me to forget she:

>Exists
>Isn't a cartoon exclusive character
>Has been around as early as DKC1
>Has had multiple redesigns

At least Tiny and Wrinkly were both playable more than once, Lanky is a meme, and Chunky cameo'd in the movie. My brain just defaults to Dixie being the de facto DK girl, and I'm probably not alone in this.

I’m aware of Bananza Leaks as of writing this but even I doubt Candy will be in the game.

Also at least Rouge the Bat still gets to show up in most Sonic media and games despite Sega nerfing her features, personality and ruining her voice.

>>715596396
Candy is a glorified decoration

>>715596396
why did they make a monkey look like a whore

>>715594857
They’re fun. I loved the Splatoon 3 leaks and datamining. It made me enjoy the story mode more.

Famitsu Review highlights:
>Exhilarating and satisfying, offering an action experience that allows free exploration of uncharted paths
>Incorporates elements from previous entries along with unknown stages, adding >exciting surprises to the adventure
>The story is somewhat weak
>The process of destroying environments is incredibly fun
>The transformation music is fantastic and really amps up the excitement
>A Reiwa-era Donkey Kong that breaks conventional ideas of 3D action games
>Movement remains smooth and stutter-free even with shifting terrain
>All combat-related actions are fun from start to finish
>You can climb walls using just one joystick—though it can lead to accidental wall >climbing during digging, the overall thrill outweighs this minor inconvenience
>Including boss battles, the overall difficulty is quite gentle if you're just aiming to finish the game
>The presentation and direction are also excellent
>Donkey Kong has been reimagined with a brand-new character design
>Challenge stages are quite difficult, ensuring even action game veterans can enjoy themselves
>Don't think of this as just a kids' game—adults should absolutely give it a try too

>>715593179
Cherry on top would be specifically Young Pauline getting in Smash with the DK series symbol while Ashley remains an Assistant Item

>>715596130
I legit thought we were going to have a repeat of this situation if those leaks wound up being fake
https://youtu.be/KG8jBpNvRCE?si=JKT2jHnG88dIW0mu

>>715596481
miyamoto is a coomer (see krystal)

>>715595581
What's there to sa They clearly wanted to highlight the new villains that most of the game will focus on. K Rool clearly doesn't come in until the last 10 percent of the game or something.

>>715596616
>krystal
Oh right, will the "Nintendo hates Rare" morons move onto her?

>>715596616
true

>>715596481
Bongoloids like their slags

>>715591059
You'll never be white and those talentless devs at sandfall will always support trannies. Their successes at the game awards will probably be the best part of your entire year and that's an indictment of how hard you've failed in life.

>>715596661
also true

>>715596616
Aren't we all

>>715596553
Sounds cool

>>715420808

You bet your ass it’ll be worth it for the Kremling Krew

>>715596384
Aero GPX completely surpassed GX from what I’ve heard

inb4 it's not K. Rool and just some illusion

>>715596553
About what I expected

>>715596738
>cat women are sexy (raughs)
our guy

>>715596602
Hadn't seen that one, kek.i did vote K.Rool in the ballot and actually use him in Ult so... everything worked out in the long run I suppose

>>715593385
Yes the Cartoon Monkey as a companion wife who rides atop my shoulder

>>715595406
Fucking retard

>>715596651
onry time wirr terr

>>715596553
>>The story is somewhat weak
Expedition 33 is going to win goty because it had a dogshit version of Inception simple-ass plot and nigbait parry trash overwhelming every aspect of the turn based gameplay. But sure, let's cry over muh story. Garbage medium.

They've tipped the scale. They sent them all to jungle jail.

>>715597001
Jesus relax you haven't even touched the game lol

>>715596841
jesus christ. I've never even heard of this shit until you mentioned it. Upon first glance this seems to be a Mario Kartification of F-Zero. No. F-Zero GX has not been surpassed. I will be standing on both feet in absolute awe and begin marketing such a game myself, if ever a game to surpass F-Zero GX were to ever exist. I say this with an actual diagnosis of autism to my name: it is virtually impossible to create something that can surpass F-Zero GX. It likely won't happen in our lifetimes. It is simultaneously the most broken and also the highest skill ceiling racing game ever created.

>>715594995
Rool doesn't need to be the villain in every single DK stuff, but the push for his grand return was important to establish that he's DK's archnemesis and he can't be replaced, that has been accomplished

>>715593661
Heheheh you want a snake?

>>715593661
SHOWTIME!

>>715597035
>3 copies of blops 6
>like a fucking hundred of bananza
demand is high for this game

>>715597076
post a webm of you doing shift boosts or shut up

No but seriously why is Pauline a kid

>>715593661
2025 is the Year of the Snake after all

Still think the tikis were kinda cool, both from a design and gameplay perspective.
I hope they bring them back one day.

You think there's one guy somewhere who really wanted a DK64 sequel and is bitter over Bananza being 3D DK going forward?

>>715597189
I don't know, but I'm hoping for the best.

>>715597189
Meta reason?
Cause adult Pauline would be too big
Lore reason?
Your guess is good as mine
She has to stay a kid for a post-game to work

>>715593873
We move on to the next goal of bringing back Captain Syrup and Wario Land, wouldn’t even mind her showing up in Warioware

>>715597212
Almost definitely. There will be some youtube videos about it with garbage mic quality in the coming weeks from literal who's, bemoaning how Nintendo absolutely dropped the ball or something; bitching how the gameplay is stale after 15 minutes and Bananza forms are boring compared to Kong switching. I guarantee it.

>>715597201
the problem with the Tikis, and the Snowmads to a lesser extent, is that they are entirely lacking in personality and intimidation factor, they just don't feel threatening at all

>>715594006
Pauline Chads Won Big!

>>715597406
I'm willing to chalk it up to Monkeys on Typewriters bs
We already saw the skeletal Kremlings

>>715594074
Maybe Bananza Pauline is like Crash Bandicoot 4 Tawna but done right?

>>715580425 (OP)
How long until all boss battles video drops?

Its kind of sad that snoys are refusing to let themselves enjoy games and have fun because of some parasocial allegiance to a faceless corporation.
The constant daily seething shitposting has been fun to watch, but also really sad.

I'll be having a blast on thursday with some certified old school kino. A game from the old standards. No movieslop. No aim assist. No live service. Just a video game being a video game oozing with charm.

>>715594294
I would sacrifice Tanabe to bring back Gunpei Yokoi or Satoru Iwata

Still waiting for snek

>>715594460
Pauline’s cute widdle feets

>>715597590
>having a blast

>>715594483
If they can update DK and Diddy’s renders surely they can update K. Rool’s and maybe the other Kongs aside from Cranky, Funky and Dixie

>>715586282
Not for long if he doesnt finally replaces those fucking pans with these fancy ores.

>>715597724
Diddy is evergreen

K. Rool is the King Von of Mario.

It would be kinda cool if DK with his whole crew and the Kremlings were in a Paper Mario or M&L game once. The plot of the game probably would be that Bowser and K. Rool are after the same mcguffin and Mario has to team up with DK to stop both.

>>715595363
There was concept art of him, showing that he was supposed to be in the movie.

>>715597748
Mrs. K.Rool could make for a great environmental boss fight IMO. Maybe someday

I don't think Japs get K. Rool. He shouldn't show up as just K. Rool. In DK64 you raid his lair before he even prepares anything but he puts something together for his proper appearance. In this canceled game it's a flying game and K. Rool just shows up as the only one fully decked out in pilot gear. Having the enemies mostly being Kritters and ones that appeared in the Paon games is extremely safe and underwhelming.

>>715597806
>>715597649
Why did they give a child eyeshadow

>>715594716
If Punch Out Wii were ever remade I wonder if they’d not be too lazy and updated DK’s design there too. DK still looks fine enough and conveys his expressions really well

>>715597865
He had a new outfit in Sluggers
>Having the enemies mostly being Kritters and ones that appeared in the Paon games is extremely safe and underwhelming.
They're as recognizable as possible here to drive the twist further

>>715597865
They get it, he disguised himself as the Banandium Root.

>>715597920
Yeah but it's not a baseball uniform. You know he would absolutely have decked himself out in a jersey and cap.

>>715594730
>>715594753
Even better

>>715598034
>turn yourself
But Pauline activates the transformations

>Everyone expects a Baby Pauline in Mario Kart World
>There’s no Baby Pauline
>Nintendo subverts our expectations
>Gives us a pre-teen Pauline in the Bananza Direct

This is one thing I’m glad aged like milk, I still think the concept of “character but toddler” is stupid, you need your lightweight characters in a racing game some enemy mooks such as Goomba and Biddy Bud would’ve been perfect a long time ago.

>>715595269
so would the aged down New Donkers be realistic children or would they be cartoony like Pauline?

Loli and fat croc king? goty

>>715595045
Lakitu outside his cloud makes him look naked, lol I don’t want to see his legs and feet only Daisy’s

>>715595061
Zelda has made tons of new villains, Mario should bring back Wart or Tatnaga just once

>Leaks had a DKC3 GBA exclusive enemy
Damn they went all out

>>715598587
The one that pisses me off is Ganon being Zant's "Dark God" instead of Majora, when Twilight princess had a similarly dark tone to MM, the fused shadow looked like Majora's Mask, and Majora legitimately deserved elaboration on as an entity.

>>715598638
Never played the GBA port. What is it?

>>715595363
He was also a great Mario Party host. Nintendo should’ve given him the ghost treatment like Wrinkly

>>715598638
Is it Kracka? Are you sure it's not Kaboom? The only other one is the boss Kroctopus.

>>715598865
Oh yeah it's Kaboom
I got the two mixed up

>>715595672
>People continue to forget 99 exists

Sadge

>>715598902
No one will ever reference 3 Kremlings again. The closest was Re-Koil who got cut from 64.

>>715598963
It's good and it did plenty for the series to get new fans but it's not a full course meal

>>715598587
>Wart
Could do some cool inter dimensional dream stuff since he was in both Mario and Link's dreams

>>715595672
I want to see Eternal Darkness to come back but I get why it hasn't come back yet
Honestly even if the other Kongs are absent the fact that this game is such a love letter to Donkey Kong in general with special focus on Rare's involvement means nobody is out of the table (aside from Jr.) for the future

>>715581821
Yeah the ui designer had to remove 10 levels to make time to draw them.

For people talking about vidya alot, a lot of you guys dont understand anything about them

>>715597865
You don’t get it, the kremlings show up as fossils enemies the whole game

>>715598963
great game, they just need to release the rest of the satelliview tracks

>>715595857
Geno and Mallow game
Kid Icarus game (the 3ds game is top tier)

>>715599507
Okay but which ones do you actually fight? Half of them are the random woodland creatures like the bees and vultures.

Crocodile Cacophony > Gangplank Galleon and I'm tired of pretending it's not

yep, this is one of ones that sold the best.

What does Asmongold think about Bananza

>>715595672
>Is there nothing left to ask for from Nintendo
There will always be one thing

Honestly, the game looks great, the only real downsides are the shitty, dated art direction and DK's trashy new design.

>>715599654
great bait

>>715598587
How many of these have ever returned though?
That's where you should put the likelihood of Wart or Tarnaga returning (consider that Koopalings and Boom Boom have returned - so these would be Mario's equivalent of a Dark Link)

>>715599614
I had a stroke. Ignore this

>>715599654
lmao who cares

>>715595672
>Maybe a good F-Zero, I don't know.
at this point i genuinely believe we'd sooner get a Captain Falcon action game than a new F-Zero
The series is dead and Nintendo only revisits it to inject its mechanics into Mariokart

>>715599745
Technically most of them returned through warriors

>>715599551
>Geno and Mallow game
They don't own them

>>715599551
>>715595962
If Sakurai's not on a new Kid Icarus, I don't want it

>>715598587
They would eventually have to do it, we are definetly getting more than 3 Mario films and I find it hard to believe that they would use bowser as the main antagonist in all of them.

>>715595672
Plenty left desu

I want a Fire Emblem game that has an "overworld" of a 4X game and the individual battles are traditional FE style

>>715598963
The closest thing to a negative I can say but F Zero 99 is that I wish they added some of the X and GX racers. It would be neat if they got art to match the SNES ascetic but man just let me race in the Sonic Phantom again

>>715599995
Link's Awakening looks like complete shit though, it resembles plastic-looking Funko-Pops and children's playsets more than actual claymation or stop-motion animation.

A Mother 2 or 3 remake that utilizes actual stop-motion animation figures for its graphics akin to Harold Halibut or Out of Words would be absolute kino tough.

>>715599947
Mother dies with Itoi. You can remake the games but you cant add or remove from it.

>>715599919
SE should be eager to do a Mario RPG 2 considering it was outselling both FF games

>>715599995
I'm not usually the type to get too hung up over an old game being too "clunky" or whatever but Mother 1 is an incredibly dated game. Shit is cryptic as hell, battles are tedious as fuck, random difficulty spikes. If there's any game that could use a modern touch up it's Mother 1.

Calling it now, the obligatory Grandmaster Galaxy equivalent is going to be Layer 1981

>>715600306
Personally I think it's part of the charm and wouldn't want it changed, but I also can literally never recommend it to anyone, so while I would understand if they touched it up, it would still sadden me

>>715600023
Didn't he admit that he doesn't care about the IP anymore and is willing to let fans or other devs do whatever they want with it?
>>715600007
That was an over-glorified remaster, people are clamoring for a Resident Evil 2/4, Silent Hill 2 or FF7-level remake.

>>715600385
so you want a different game wearing the skin of ocarina of time? why

>>715600292
SMRPG even has two OCs that people love (Croco and Johnny Jones) that they can make into full party members that would slot into traditional FF archetypes (Thief and Dragoon). Hell, they could even include Yoshi (or even Boshi) as a Blue Mage type character.

>>715600385
>Didn't he admit that he doesn't care about the IP anymore
Have you SEEN the amount of merch Mother gets now because of Itoi's company?
Not to mention the Mother 2 anniversary exhibit last year?

>>715600521
Fine, how about full-blown remakes of 1-3 then?

>>715600521
Merch does not equate to telling a different story and crafting a different world anon. He doesnt care to tell a different story with the mother series because he told the stories he wanted to tell. Why push a spark that might not be there for him?

>>715600581
I really don't think 2 or 3 need much outside a visual overhaul and maybe some tweaks to boney to not make him FUCKING USELESS

If they fix the thunder bomb chest Boney is legit just an extra inventory

>>715600521
Itoi cares about his IP because it's his IP, but he has said he's done with it.

>>715600606
>He doesnt care to tell a different story with the mother series because he told the stories he wanted to tell.
Pretty much
Not everything needs to go on forever.
Mother is still something he holds valuable but he's not a game developer by trade
Mother games have notoriously bad development cycles
The man's old and if he doesn't want to spend his last years making new games or remakes or whatever, more power to him

>>715600521
I think Itoi doesn't want to commit to full development of more Mother games (which is fine considering his age and how1-3 tells a pretty complete dtory) but I don't think Itoi would be needed to be jn the thick of a potential series of remakes for 1-3. Just keep NoA localizer faggots away from the scripts.

Will everyone who pissed and shitted and cried about le rare hate shut the fuck up now?

>>715600650
Yeah I know, I'm just saying Itoi still cares about Mother
But caring about something != making sequels for the sake of sequels

>>715600717
Yeah of course, we have the same argument. Itoi is to mother what current Miyamoto is to Mario, if he was ever involved in the development of something new he'd just be sent stuff so he could say it's good or bad.

>>715600707
>but I don't think Itoi would be needed to be jn the thick of a potential series of remakes for 1-3
I still think he should be there at least as a supervisor
I don't want HD-2D Mother but that means speaking personally
The big thing holding remakes back is finding a team to even make it
Brownie Brown is now 1-Up Studios and Creatures makes Pokemon spin-offs
Your options are either HAL if they're available and eager or potentially the studio behind the Super Mario RPG remakes if they're keen on it and are available

Not sure why someone other than Itoi can't work on Mother. Earthbound to Mother 3 is quite the insane jump and I do think another jump wouldn't ruin it as long as it stays absurd. You need someone good but MANY indie games capture the feel. Obviously foremost it's out of respect for Itoi's genius but I guess I'd like to see him approve further projects without him, which I don't think he would want to.

>>715600834
>potentially the studio behind the Super Mario RPG remakes if they're keen on it and are available
Artepiazza. They're good devs.

>>715600904
>Not sure why someone other than Itoi can't work on Mother.
He co-owns the series and has written every game
A Mother game without him would be Mother in name only and at that point it might as well just be its own game

where the fuck is snake

>>715600834
>>715600925
Might need to see if they're working on the second DQVII remake or not, assuming that's actually happening. There was a decent gap in time between their last project and the SMRPG remake, so will have to see if they'd double dip back into Nintendo or not.

>>715600925
NTA but I also thought this, I can see those cutscenes they added to the remake fitting extremely well with an Earthbound remaster.

>>715600834
Yeah that's what I was meaning, Itoi being in an advisory role where he just mostly quality checks stuff is about all I would expect from him on a potential remake project, but maybe he doesn't even feel like doing that much anymore. I don't think he's like Sakurai where Nintendo can drag him into the salt mines whenever they want another game, he's an independent famous celebrity in his own right.

>>715599654
if the game gets good scores and potentially GOTY he will have a fucking spergout about it doing better over E33 (i do really love e33 tho)

I hate assmonshit and he hates modern nintendo so get ready for a spergout if it gets a 94+ metacritic. The Blizztroon wont like it

>>715595980
I got jungle fever too

>>715600904
I would've said this as a joke 2 years ago but today I can probably say Toby Fox could make a good Mother game.

>>715600708
Yes because we won.

>>715600904
Ask yourself this
What makes a Mother game Mother?
What's the unique aspect of Mother games that can't be replicated anywhere else?
Why does *insert random RPG here that doesn't have Itoi's involvement* NEED to be "Mother"?
A random Mr. Saturn cameo?
A new Snowman cover?

>>715601147
>A random Mr. Saturn cameo?
This makes deltarune mother

>>715600904
Because its his story, his series. You can have something that captures the spirit of mother, even from nintendo themselves, but it isnt mother. Something like Giygas was born from his personal experience. You can include the personal experiences of the director, but it isnt mother anymore, and there is nothing wrong with that.

>>715601129
toby fox makes shit gay with lesbian shit and isnt good making an RPG. He also takes a decade to develop shit and his reddit humour wouldnt go with mother. No thanks

>>715600968
I definitely don't want another game without him, but he's old. I just simply want the series to continue because there's way too many great worldbuilding not to. Tons of potential with different stories and an incredibly unique aesthetic to any other Nintendo property.
>>715601129
He 100% should. He also met Itoi, I wish something happened there. Nintendo clearly recognizes Toby on several different occasions.

>>715601240
Mother has gay shit in it too though

>>715599968
*Sakurai's wife makes the same menu for every game

>>715601129
Feel he'd see it as too high a bar to fulfill. It's one of his biggest inspirations, if not his biggest. He'd likely be too anxious to go through with it, not to mention that there could be some worries about a Westerner taking on a brand new Mother game. Even with Toby having a strong presence in Japan, the fact Itoi's such a celebrity could mean it would be expected for another Japanese person to take charge of the series if it somehow got another official installment.

>>715601251
>because there's way too many great worldbuilding not to.
Sure but that mystery and intrigue should be left unmolested especially if it's something he would oppose because those mysteries were left for a reasoj
I'm fine with continuations for franchises and stuff (I'd be a hypocrite otherwise) but watering something so personal to a guy raises the "licensed fanfiction" argument

Where K.Rool ?
We need video footage of him or else war crimes will happen in Kosovo (Shout outs to the UN)

>>715601240
>toby fox makes shit gay with lesbian shit and isnt good making an RPG
He also can make good second layer narratives. Hell gaster is basically giygas by way of influence on the world, except he isn't actively malicious. He has a similar style of masking extremely weird, creepy shit with happy narratives and retarded lesbian comedy romance.
Also Nintendo wouldn't let him do lesbians, so we'd be safe on that front.
>isnt good making an RPG
Let's be honest Mother isn't an especially good RPG, and deltarune's combat system is so mother 3 it hurts.

>>715601308
more like haha gay japanese stuff while toby takes his lesbian shit seriously and forces it as a main plot point while cucking the playerbase self inserting as the protagonist. Toby lives in japan and wants to be japanese so bad but his games have a western feel to it while the monther series feels like its made by silly japs

again no thanks
>>715601381
also, toby never truly made an RPG. He made one very short game and an unfinished one that can easily end in a disaster. He is not used to making long as fuck RPGs because its taking him a decade already to finish one and hes only halfway there

no thanks, let the japs do it

>>715601376
I do agree on some level, I'd say It's a double edged sword for me. You continue it, it doesn't turn out well, and it feels inferior as a result. I just believe there's someone that can do it properly, and if it was under another team, I'd just hope that there is specific care taken with respect to Itoi.

3.5 hours until the review embargo lifts and the seethe comes pouring in

>>715599049
I smell crossover, and AND Wart was trying to keep Nightmare from consuming all

>>715601129
He couldn't work on OFF without replacing its iconic music with Bonetrousle lol

Mother should die with Itoi. Let it be what it is nothing more and nothing less.
Toby Fox needs to be tard wrangled, something Nintendo is admittedly great at. With proper oversight and a teqm with actual talent+experience, he likely could helm/direct a truly fantastic game.

>>715601251
Dude, the Mother games themselves don't dwell on world building or lore because that's not the focus of the games.
I love the setting and world building that's in them but the games weren't designed around an expansive universe in mind.
Hell, the Japanese themselves aren't even sure if Mother 1 and Mother 2 share the continuity because aside from the main villain being named "Giygas" there's nothing linking the two and it's made even more complicated when you find out Mother 2 actively removed every connection to Mother 1 during development.

>>715601564
Actually, that is a question I'm curious about. Toby has gotten REALLY fucking close to Nintendo. How? Hell deltarune has an entirely unique optional dungeon and boss fight that's exclusive.

Why the fuck does everything need a sequel? Mother 3 was a perfectly fine ending to the franchise. Faggots crying about how everything needs a sequel and cuck developers placating them is how we got shitshows like MGS4

>>715600581
>>715600641
>Mother Trilogy remake with a stop-motion artstyle

>>715601627
Becoming friends with Sakurai. Sakurai holds the keys to the kingdom for the entire Japanese game development industry.

How did fuck did the discussion turn from talking about DK to Talking about a fucking 30 years old LGBTQHD+ game which Tobi fox should develop a sequel for
I just wanna see video proof of King K.Crack

>>715601646
>Why the fuck does everything need a sequel?
Because Nintendo fans are used to sequels and just kind of expects them regardless of the very real world nuances on why certain games don't get sequels.
Whenever you see someone ask for a sequel for a dormant series just ask them this, who would make it?
If they can't sincerely answer it with an actual compelling answer that takes into account availability, resources, and interest they're ignorant at best and stupid at worst

>>715601757
Don't be so mad about a goofy RPG anon, it's bad for your health.
Also I think some videos are up on the sites.

Maybe…just maybe…Nintendo should make a new fucking IP with this billion dollar new building they are making to push production up higher

only thing we got was ARMS lmaooo and the fitness game which i heard is good but thats only if you wanna exercise. The rest are forgotten. The Wii U was more successful with splatoon and mario maker

nintendo should give us a high quality new exclusive made my an in house team that isnt niche instead of the same fucking repeated franchises

>>715601672
Has this style been perfected yet in video games? They'd be the one. Yeah I know about Neverhood but I assume it'd be a 3D animation mockery.

>>715601682
Sakura doesn't want for Nintendo
He's a freelancer

>>715601757
We're a bunch of autistic social rejects placed together in the AM waiting for more info to drop.

why are you fags arguing about earthbound when Bananza comes out in less than 24 hours

>>715601787
>MAKE A NEW IP
Why? Is there a niche to fill? Nintendo moves in unfilled niches. For their core market (Japan) they literally have everything they need. Until the nation gets addicted to a roguelike or something they'll see no reason to.

>>715601757
All these DK threads always end up shifting to discussions about a completely unrelated game for some reason

>>715601646
Because series can maybe reach new heights you dumbfuck. Why does any game Nintendo series need to continue?

>>715601807
>Sakurai doesn't work for Nintendo
So? He has connections with literally fucking everyone. If you're bros with Sakurai and want to get in touch with somebody he can arrange it.

>>715601843
That's because DK is so good there's no need to discuss it yet.

>>715601787
First ARMS and now Wheelchair basketball isn't good enough for you? Nintendo fans are so entitled. Go make a new IP if it's that easy!

>>715601787
ARMS is one of those small scaled EPD experimental titles
I respect it because I like experimental games in general

>>715601804
Primal Rage is probably the best stop motion I've seen in a game along with Neverhood like you mentioned
As for stop motion imitation like say Worthikids animations, I'm sure it's been done with some indie game

>>715601819
The guy who leaked K. Rool went schizo and had a mental breakdown on Famiboards because he unironically thought that Miyamoto was going to kill him and the chink stopped posting screenshots

Buying Monolithsoft has been the best purchase Nintendo has ever made, even if they didn't develop games they are so good at technical support I doubt bananza could've happened without them.

>>715596384
>>715597076
you should seek treatment for autism, purists like you are the reason F-Zero is dead

>>715601672
Honestly the biggest test is getting the lighting just right and understanding the do's and don'ts of stop motion
If they draw inspiration from actual stop motion artists it could look cool

>>715601941
>>The guy who leaked K. Rool went schizo and had a mental breakdown on Famiboards because he unironically thought that Miyamoto was going to kill him
Lmao he deserves it. Imagine how kino it'd be if that never leaked. chinese leaker is based for trying to keep spoilers minimal

>>715601941
Miyamoto is outside my house

>>715601627

>>715601947
Monolith helped with a lot of recent games like Botw, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Splat 3, and now Mario Kart World, but do we know if they worked on Bananza? It wouldn't surprise me I guess

>my game will be 2 days late because it's coming from France
Go on without me brehs... I wanted to save... 20 bucks...

>We're a bunch of autistic social rejects >placed together in the AM waiting for >more info to drop.

We ? There is no We, I'm not one of you, I got a social life, I'm just bored since my friends are still asleep because of there fucking unemployment

>>715601787
I would list the new IPs they've done but seeing as you just dismissed ARMS for no reason you're gonna do a whole bunch
>that doesn't count

>>715602109
I'd say Xenoblade would count as a new IP, it was dead without 2 and 2 was a gigantic departure only linked to 1 by a single plot thread.

>>715602106
Fuck off normie

DK better have an N64 skin unlockable or so help me...

>>715602167
Xenoblade is 15 years old anon, plus it's Monolith Soft's IP, not Nintendo's.

Splatoon is a newer IP having come out on the Wii U and becoming an instant success even on a new console, and it's an in-house Nintendo property unlike Xenoblade.

>>715602109
There's no point in acknowledging ARMS since it flopped and Nintendo abandoned it

>>715602364
What a retarded question

>>715601672
It sounds like logical but I don't see the appeal of stop motion imitation with a top-down perspective if we're being faithful to the original games

>>715602429
I honestly hope so but I'm fully prepared for them to announce a fucking ARMS 2 in the alleged Late July Direct. It'll pair really well with the Wheelchair Hoop game (looks like absolute shit).

>Mother
How many times do we have to explain to you fags that ITOI DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE A NEW GAME ANYMORE

I can't wait to play the new DK Game, I hope that the games allows us to beat up pregnant women and consume Fentanyl, then it would truly be the black male simulator we've all been waiting for. Also DK needs a George Floyd Skin

>>715602579
Believe it or not, ARMS was made by the Mario Kart team. Thing is even though Mario Kart World development is done, you know they're going to milk the shit out of that game with more DLC. Those devs might be tied up for a while.

>>715602429
>There's no point in acknowledging ARMS since it flopped
it didn't, fighting games just do not sell as much, 2 million is great for a fighting game
or what do expect it to sell 10 mil+ and break into the top ten selling fighting games of all time on a new IP's first game

>>715602637
People were just talking about stylized claymation remakes that follow the original concept work. Itoi doesn't really need to be involved if they're not making a new game, so long as they choose the right people for the project. Itoi would just need to sign off on it
