Nintendo fell for Calarts/tumblr bean-mouth meme but didn't realize that it fell out of style with normies and kids years ago. They fucked up in that regard.

Not my Donkey Kong

>>715587853
A major part of this was just Rare's DK never really had a chance to show what the design was capable of because he hasn't had a big budget game like Bananza, were complex animation rigs were needed.

So Ultimate gave us a look at what that could look like for Rare DK and could be pushed even further

>>715587779
>>715588306
It's like they sapped every last drop of testosterone from his body.

>>715587779
He's sounded like a retarded talking dog ever since the Retro games, so now the design fits.

>>715588448
He had that voice since 2004.

First and last ones are kind of jarring. Brow also isn't the best on the bottom left.

I definitely think you could do more with Rare DK, but I also get why Nintendo saw limitations crop up. While he's mostly looked fine in his own games, he's had some rough moments too in some of his Mario spin-off appearances.

Its the brows.

>>715587689 (OP)
Im not a big fan of the new DK or anything, but using smash trailers, which are the absolute highest fidelity shit Nintendo has to offer in both personality and presentation is absurdly unfair as a compare point. These trailers give a vast majority of these characters their best look by far. If you want to make a more fair point you need to use examples within his series.

Rare DK = Sylvester Stallone
Nu DK = Chris Pratt

"No!"

That’s a cinematic. Post in-game expressions. You can’t.

I like the old DK, I miss DKC, I also like the new DK and Bananza looks cool. I hope Retro gets to make another one someday.

His old eyebrow ridge took up more of his face and was more level with his mouth. Now his cheeks are too puffy and he has the facial outline of a frog. Changing the eyebrows isn't inherently a problem but they also made his mouth way wider.

>>715605676
This is the perfect example. Left is unable to actually display sadness. Looks like anger and disappointment.

>uses image where his brows are raised to the point of breaking the model
Not helping yourself, chief.

>>715588306
>>715587779
Why did they turn him into a "dog"? Why not just make a new character?

Bananaza shills are NOT convincing anyone nuDK looks good...SAD!

>angry but confused

I think a lot of people bitching that he looks too much like a dumbass in Bananza aren't considering the game takes place like ten years in the past and Nintendo has specifically called the new DK design "Bananza inspired" instead of having it be the same.

He's a teen in this game, just like Pauline.

He's not supposed to be sad. He's a rather stoic character. Was.

>>715606585
>he used to be hansome and kind of desirable
do you really not get why they had to change that now that he's paired with an adolescent girl? they don't want this to be misread as a romance

>>715606585
i shouldnt be surprised there are women who wanna fuck DK but i am still disappointed

>>715606909
So instead of being a stoic father figure to her he's now an overly expressive manchild paired with a minor?

>>715606909
They'd just have to do their homework and do better with writing and animation. Remember that one Space Dandy episode where he helps a lost loli? Something like that. Give normally self-centered DK a duty to help this little lost child, and be the cool big bro while doing it.

>>715587689 (OP)
Your thread title would be better if it was something like
>DK needed to be changed because he isn't able to be expressive enough
Since it's in green text your post comes across as mocking of that statement, and conveys your feelings towards it much better along with your image as proof of it being untrue
Next time you can contact me before making a thread and we can workshop it together first, your photo was good though

>Look at how expressive DK was!
>Shows literally just one instance of DK being expressive
This is a dumb argument and a dumb thread

you're still crying about this?

Imagine being such a retarded no life autist that you look after fucking donkey kong in search for a father figure. Imagine the sheer mental gymnastics a man like OP must do to justify his obsession over the masculinity of a cartoon gorilla in a video game for children.

>>715608903
Projecting?

>>715590101
>>715605491
definitely autism

having trouble reading and having face blindness is a big symptom

>>715600815
It looks good in Jungle Beat, unlike Bananza.

Donkey Kong's basedboy phase

I didn't realize Donkey Kong fans had Sonic Tier Autism when it comes to designs.

>>715606161
>>715606065
I don't know why you guys think the brow is the only thing they changed

>>715588245
I hate bean mouth, but this isn't even close to that. This is DK's classic design, from before Country.

>>715607285
>The most important thing for me in a Donkey Kong game is whether or not DK fucks girls
Gorilla's probably aren't the best animal to self-insert into, bro.

Reminder that this DK is not DK, he's an armed Goomba.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

Nintendo is usually om point when it comes to character designs but this game is ugly as sin.

No it doesnt. timelines mean shit to nintendo. And if this was in the past, a lot of shit like Diddy and Dixie wouldnt be in the game or they'd be kids. None of your shitty conspiracies work here. Tired of you tendies always jumping to timeline shit to explain companies wrangling lore shit. They're here to sell you a product and goy slop, not give you some deep experience.

>>715613783
He's just a soiboy who never threatened anyone before

at least in the original design he's not constantly sticking his tongue out like a retard

Every single Mario character been altered to resemble their SNES NES artstyle but its DK thats got you clowns upset?

???? This shit is fabricated

>>715618085
>Every single Mario character been altered to resemble their SNES NES artstyle

Dude shut up. Mario Peach etc have hardly changed from their designs. They chose DK to fuck up cause nintendo doesnt care about the character at all.

>>715587689 (OP)
I think the mouth is the weirdest part of the old DK design. You got some shots where he has teeth and some where he doesn't. Even in the image his tongue appears to be two completely different sizes between the bottom left and bottom right images, whether that's because of the lack of teeth or not I'm not sure, but it's weird for him to flip flop between teeth and no teeth.

>>715619192
he's an animated character, it doesnt need to be consistent.

This "drama" is so forced it's unreal. I can't wait until you retards stop talking about this stupid shit like half a year after the game comes out. Genuinely meaningless bullshit.

>>715588306
Zesty.
