>>715632345
He really wants banana bread.

>>715632348
Proof?

>>715632098
Mickey Mouse comics used to make a distinction between his real adventures and things that were just movies he made for an in-universe Disney Studio.
Using that same logic, there are real Mario/DK adventures that were adapted in various ways to stage and storybooks and then there's the cashgrab Kart/Party/Sports games that he made for the in-universe Nintendo video game company.

>>715632639
Are rotten bananas better for banana bread?

Can we talk about how unlucky the people in New Donk City are? First they have to deal with Bowser and the koopa's bullshit and now K. Rool and the Kremlings. What's next? Star Wolf assaulting the city? Ganondorf being resurrected because his remains are conveniently buried there?

Here's Pauline coming back for post game

>>715633015

>>715632841
Porn of DK running a Bananza form fucktrain on Candy, Kalypso, and Poppy when?

Are all the DK outfits just suspenders?

>>715633369
A villain being dead in a Nintendo game that's not an RPG generally isn't enough to stop someone from coming back.

>>715633259
will we ever see her grandma?

K rool's return in this game is about as grand as fans could have hoped, its basically a "never ask me for anything again" situation

why is he self deprecating

>K.Rool is back
I'm glad you DK fans got something cool finally instead of them pretending the Kremlings don't exist. I wonder if it's because of how insanely popular he was with Smash Bros.

So is layer 1600 then post game stuff then like dark side of the moon?

>>715633161
>tard only just discovered that mario and donkey kong are the same universe

>>715633773
The game's staff are longtime fans of Donkey Kong
They grew up playing DKC

DK Bananza is currently the best seller new video game release on Amazon with a whopping 30K+ pre orders. I feel like this game is going to sell 2+ million copies in its first four days.

>>715633869
No wonder why there's a Switch 2 restock happening at BB on the same day.

>>715633869
Makes sense, so far it's the only actual game for Switch 2.

DKC to Arcade to SMB is only jarring when you forget Pauline is supposed to be 13 here and how Donkey Kong himself could still pass as a teen for Kong standards in the events of DKC
She could easily be 18 by the events of the arcade game and her other modern depictions so that'd just be a 5 year gap

So after DK abandons Pauline in the streets of New Donk to fend for herself, how long until she gets raped and drugged up?

>>715633856
Yeah I heard, but I mean people have been asking for him to come back forever and it seemed like Nintendo hated him cause they just kept on making new forgettable villains. I'm just wondering if Smash Bros was the turning point that made them cave to demand.

>>715633773
>>715633856
I know it sounds like a cop-out but I think it was both. sakraui mentioned he was a little shocked to see how popular k rool was in smash ballot after his reveal video. That and the devs at nintendo grew up playing the DKC games so they might have some emotional attachment to k rool compared to miyamoto who couldn't give less of a shit about him

>>715631912
Those were their grandparents.

>>715634064
Retro wanted to make their own villains
That's it
That's literally just it
Same deal with EAD and Jungle Beat
K. Rool's absence in Donkey Kong mostly came from the decline in quantity of Donkey Kong games to begin with

>>715633495
>Other way around
Wait a minute...

>>715634064
Not using him for so long gave us this grand return so it was worth it.

>>715632212
Glad K. Rool's return, but the rest of the game doesn't appeal to me.

I hope someone makes a video compilation of all the people who denied his return.

>>715634059
She literally says she has a music gig which she needs to prepare for so I think she's doing fine.

>>715634241
Fair enough.
>>715634367
It's nice to see him again for sure. Are there any Kremling enemies brought back for the finale or is it just K. Rool himself?

>>715634367
them tying him being gone into the actual story feels like something out of Nuts and Bolts

>>715633869

>>715632673
Yes. I thought that was common baking knowledge desu

>>715631432 (OP)
Man, Pauline has always had an impressive rack for a kids’ game. Who would have guessed they’d make her so busty for Nintendo’s version of a Lemmings game.

>>715633773
I think the devs being DKC fans would've gotten K. Rool in the game in some form (possibly just a fossil), but the smash ballot definitely let the higher ups know that he was beloved enough to treat like such a big deal. All the "K. Rool's back!" signs in his goopified NDC feel like a direct message to the players who wanted him.

>>715634974
He was on the Epstein logs

I sill don't like that the humans in NDC look like real humans instead of Mario characters

>>715633597
Too little too late
Blatant nostalgia fagging has been the way of Nintendo for the entirety of 2020's and I won't be baited into spending $80 on a game because King K. Rool is in the last 40 minutes as an ebin tweest
You could have just had King K. Rool be the villain of the game since the start instead of trying to appeal blatantly to nostalgia and a 'grand triumphant return' of a character who was such an integral part of DK's identity that he never should have disappeared in the first place.

>>715635145

So what's the deal with Pauline?

>>715631854
You forgot Donkey Kong 1994 for the Gameboy

>>715635387
You got two options
Moon Studios or Toys for Bob

>>715635387
Microsoft stole them and then locked them in bill gate's rape dungeon, so no

>>715635506
can a nippon studio make it?

>>715635460
We are waiting on the post-game.

>>715635387
The Crash 4 devs said they wanted to make one but they went indie and Microsoft gutted all of their other kids' game dev teams and trapped them in the COD mines.

>>715635281
And he was paid heavily in Crystal Coconuts for saying that.

>>715634053
Yeah, things actually make sense now. Cranky is just DK's dad/grandpa. DK is a baby during Yoshi's Island, a teen during Country/Bananza, and an adult during the arcade titles and beyond. He's the same age as Mario.

>>715632038
mogs the shit out of the simp turtle

>>715635281
He said that with his big list shaped belly

>>715635460
Not de-aged
Not a relative (unless proven otherwise which would be contradictory to interviews)
It's the same Pauline we've always known, so far all signs point to be Bananza being a prequel and the DKC series takes place before the events of the arcade game/Super Mario series

Once again, you retards, Cranky Kong never fucking met Mario.

Jumpman IS Mario. Donkey Kong IS Donkey Kong.

Cranky Kong reminisces about battling "a plumber with overalls". That's not Mario (Jumpman), just some ransom fucking dude. Nintendo never wanted Rare canon.

Bananza is a prequel to Donkey Kong Arcade, therefore Cranky Kong is a crank, Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong and your fake ass timeline was always fucking stupid.

>>715635460
The real deal with Pauline is that she's Donkey Kong's assistant. She's in her early teens, is unmarried and currently resides in Metro Kingdom.

shame the leak of K rool eating Void was fake, that would have absolutely been in character for him

>>715635572
>went indie
They're still working with Microsoft on presumably Spyro
They're outright open to work with Microsoft, they just want to be their own devs again

>>715635570
Who?
Arzest?

>>715635602
except that it’s confirmed lady is a seperate character

>>715635571
Actually, which Japanese studios outside Nintendo are even making 3D platforms as of now? Team Asobi and what else? I am not trying to be ironic here, legit most that comes to mind is the Pac-Man world remaster from Namco.

>>715635709
Nah that would have been extra gay

>>715635460
She's a kid that grows up to become a singer and the mayor. Bananza takes place after the Country games and before the arcade games, bridging the gap between the Mario and DK series.

There they are

>>715635570
The problem with that is that Banjo has an very specific and very un-Japanese comedic tone. Tooie is genuinely one of the funniest games ever.

>>715635571
She's just looking for music inspiration there
Don't expect a sudden adult Pauline appearance because why would she be underground?

>>715634968
>That Crocodile Cacophony remix when he's introduced
KREMLING KREW, WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK

>>715635629
DKC takes place before Odyssey, not the arcade, that would make no sense since in DKC the events of the arcade games already happened

>>715635709
he wouldn't do that

>>715635638
Okay then. Who the fuck is Jr. and where he is now?

>>715635638
no you imbecile, pauline is too young and naive for cranky to kidnap, which is why it’s implied lady is paulines grandma

>>715635721
It's confirmed that Pauline lives with her grandma. Nintendo has made it very clear that Mario and Pauline are the same characters from the arcade games.

>>715635786
Dixie looks fine but Diddy's lack of a monoeye feels off
Not sure why they changed since they didn't have a problem with expressions
That said, I'll get used to it
I miss the Nintendo logo but I understand why it was bad for a design standpoint
Glad to see Dixie have a pin again though

>>715635873
Who the fuck are the Koopalings? Retcons.

Kaos the robot means its after country 3

>>715635638
>Cranky Kong reminisces about battling "a plumber with overalls". That's not Mario (Jumpman), just some ransom fucking dude. Nintendo never wanted Rare canon.
Holy cope, just admit you lost

So who is Pauline in this game? Is she her daughter, her nephew, just her and its a prequel?

>>715631432 (OP)
>Mario is a cuckold protag

>>715635909
not confirmed

>>715635475
Is Funky Kong in the game?

>>715635387
>Banjokes still think they have a chance
This is just sad now

I think they were vague on purpose and had Pauline mention an unknown Grandma character (knowing Cranky is DK's grandpa) as theory bait to drive up discussion.

>>715635827
Cranky's senile

>>715635952
Prequel
There's no evidence she's a relative
No throwaway line or anything
If she was de-aged, her grandma must be on some life support system for not croaking yet

>>715635952
Literally just her. the DKC games are prequels and take place 10 years prior to the Mario games

>>715633597
these signs are fans's reactions

>>715635786
>>715635924

>>715635905
So who is Lady's daughter, and Pauline's mother?

>>715633701

>>715635952
She's Pauline. It's a sequel to DKC series, prequel to arcade/Mario series. DK Country takes place in the past, just like the Yoshi's Island series.

>>715635905
Not a thing.

>>715635947
LOL, you post this on the day your fucking timeline burns to the ground. You are living on cope.

Fact : Cranky is NEVER stated to have battled MARIO even once in any Nintendo made game he's appeared in. Cranky is a fucking nobody who battled some nobody we've never seen in events that parallel Doneky Kong Arcade, but are NOT Donkey Kong Arcade because... shock... Donkey Kong stars DONKEY KONG not Cranky Kong.

The more these threads go on, the only thing that it is clear to me is that Nintendo is retconning SOMETHING, but nobody seems to agree what. No matter where in the timeline you place the Arcade Games, or if you place them at all in it. Something doesn't quite fit, unless it gets retconned.

>>715635924
it's this part above his eyes, if it was blended like dixie's or just brown until it went to his nose, he'd look a lot less weird

Does Cranky have 3 canes in this

>>715635387
maybe as a dlc

>>715634660
because he's only in the last 20 minutes of the game?

>>715635784
Pauline is a Homo-Sapien like the New Donkers and Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina.
Why is Pauline suddenly a Homo-Nintendonus?

>>715636046
I've waited 25 years, I can wait 25 more. One day my time will come.

>>715635786
I'LL FUCK DIXIE

>>715636210
You literally say cranky talks about fighting a plumber in overalls in your post, you are deluding yourself to believe your bizarre theory that this is a prequel to the arcade and dkc never happened

>>715635281
Bongo Drump is in cahoots with king k rool, you shouldn't believe him

>>715635786
Yeah Dixie looks good but Diddy feels off

>>715636264
No, he has a shovel. He digs down the old-fashioned way, none of that sinkhole nonsense!

>>715636114
It’s getting hard to believe this was developed by a Japanese studio

>>715635709
You would only get that if they pulled a bowletta.

>>715635204
Holy BASED. Enough with the superficial appeals to nostalgia.

So how does this all connect to Rosalina’s storybook and Rosalina’s parents somehow being Luigi and Peach?

>>715636360
Yeah, a random fucking plumber. Nintendo is drawing a PARALLEL with Donkey Kong's rivalry with Mario, you thick headed mongoloid.

Cranky's ranting explicitly don't mention Mario, even though if Nintendo wanted Cranky to battle Mario they'd just have him SAY he battled Mario.

In conjunction with the new timeline where Pauline is a child in Bananza, makes it pretty clear the DK Arcade takes place after, when Pauline grows up.

>>715636320
The girls aren't homo sapiens, they are hybrids between residents of New Donk City, and Homo-Nintendous. Wa Luigi and Wario are the result of inbreeding.

Are the Koopas and the Kremlins related? Like Spinosaurus and Baryonyxes, sharing genes but being different species?

cartoon crocodiles

>Get to the K. Rool part of the game
>All the old Kremling enemies show up, even the fucking Birds and Bees
Amazing

>>715636523
I wonder if the nips like the DK Rap. Probably not as iconic as it is here but the Japanese do love their wacky english phrases.

>>715636612
there's no way he is talking about a random plumber who just so happens to have overalls and also fought a giant ape.
You're worse than the pauline jr. fag at this point, wash your hands and go to bed.

>>715633597
(5 minute leadup to the boss fight)

>>715636719
They all are just repitles. I think they are as related to each other as they are to Yoshis and Birdo. But they all might have a common ancestor somewhere.

Is this a reference

Remember in Donkey Kong Land where the plot is that Cranky thought DKC was only successful because of its graphics, and told K. Rool to steal the Banana Hoard again but this time, they had to do it on the Game Boy? Donkey Kong characters know they are video game characters and an entire game's plot is built around that in a way that cannot be handwaved.

kong bananza theme, full quality...

that has to be the craziest gibberish ever muttered by a human, and i love it!

>>715635204
lol k rool is in the last 20 minutes of the 3 super nintendo donkey kong country games. The only one he shows up more consistently in during cutscenes is Donkey Kong 64

>>715636298
is that true? i've been avoiding videos but some say its the last 20 mins and others say its less than halfway

>>715636902
wait a minute...

>>715636756
You lost. You failed. You are desperately replying on the vague ramblings of an old coot who doesn't even say he battled Mario, and logically never could have.

Instead you are filled with fucking cope that Pauline isn't Pauline, she's some unknown "lady", that Mario isn't Mario, its Jumpman, even though that's Marios title, and Donkey Kong ain't Donkey Kong.

Autistic timeline-fags lost.
Nintendo lore purists won.

>>715631603
nice try retard, here's the real timeline

>>715635709
He only canonical tries to eat you with his gun

Why is K.Rool so popular?

>Kritters make the noise when killed
>K. Rool is introduced with his DK64 theme
that's all I wanted, I'm satisfied, I don't need any more spoilers

>>715637046
You have to be trolling at this point, no way you are this retarded. They're not going to retcon every donkey kong game just so they can delete cranky kong's entire backstory for no reason.

>>715636995
There's no exploration areas after K Rool is unsealed, it's just chase -> boss fight -> fakeout credits -> chase again -> boss fight

Can't wait to play Bananza on the Steam Deck 2

The king is back truly it is the finest hour!

>>715636995
If most of the game is getting to the core where he is, why would he show up early in the game?

>>715632581
Does gameshare work when one or both Switch (2) consoles are docked?

>>715637114
a better question is: why the fuck did someone drew a doujin where K.rool rapes fucking Corrin!

>>715637130
>Kritters make the noise when killed
>Mfw I heard that iconic HONK when they died

I had a go at isolating the music for the version of Gangplank Galleon in the fakeout Credits - https://files.catbox.moe/cueeoo.mp3

>>715636902
jesus fuck what did they do to diddy kong

>>715637224
in wonder why hasnt anybody tried to make SSBU!K.Rool makd that dance? the model is out there, after all.

>>715637135
No, it was Rareware, the western third party developer, that tried to retcon Nintendo's established lore with its most cherished mascots.

Nintendo wasn't going to stand for that shit no matter how good the DKC trilogy was.

This is a return to the natural order. An unretcon.

>>715637114

Fake news

>>715637352
Miyamoto oversaw the production of DKC.

>>715637326
its highly likely theres also a disc with the song hidden in game, hopefully someone unlocks it soon enough.

>>715636964
You see his ship on the world map and Kremlings are everywhere. He doesn't just randomly upend the new villain at the last second. This is even more last-minute than Ganondorf in Twilight Princess.

>Even these fucks made it in

>>715637013

Here's hoping. I guess my rip will have to do for now.

Rot K Rools theme sounds like the most boring dogshit dogshit the gang plank galleon fakeout FUCKS HARD

>>715637352
That makes it worse. Letting a redesign you didn't make take credit and fans away from your original.

>>715637243
Is it hot?

>>715637114
Cause he got four main games (plus some portable variants) and a Cartoon. People grew attache to him, and between the "personas" for his boss fights, and the cartoon, he had actually a lot more character going for him, than most videogame villains at the time. And one somehow more "consistent" (Bowser took a while to be properly define, Eggman had like three different versions of himself in media, Ganon went throguh a full rebrand as Ganondorf...) Being brutally honest, out of all the possible Villains to "get rid off", K. Rool was probably the worst choice Nintendo could had took after Bowser himself. As I said, Ganondorf essentially "replaced" Ganon in all but lore. Star Fox fans don't care that much if Andross ever come back. And speaking as a hardcore Ridley fag from the Smash bros era, who really wants a modern boss fight with him in either the Dread style, or Beyond now... Yeah, Metroid fans are mostly fine with new villains taking over the Space Pirates. K. Rool has character, and the attempt to replace him, never felt right among fans, and the more they got "denyied" only increased the demand. With that said, I will also be honest and said, if Nintendo would had try with something like the Void Co crew on their first attempt, instead of dispossable villains like the "other kongs" from Jungle Beat and the Tikis, it may had "stick" as the villains of a new era. But they didn't, and we only had that feeling of "lesser one shots" to compare to the Kremlings.

>>715637416
Miyamoto didn't approve of many things the West somehow got away with regarding depicting Mario back in the 90s.
In the 90s the west wanted to paint Mario as a bald middleaged man for some reason.

It should have been obvious that Rare's canon was bunk as soon as Nintendo published Yoshi's New island.

>>715637114
Crocodiles are cool and K. Rool is simultaneously goofy and threatening which makes him stand out from contemporaries
Bowser's cooler on a visual end but he's less evil
K. Rool's goofier on a visual end but he's more evil
He's Rare's second best scrimblo villain

>>715635952
OG DK > DKC > DKB > MB > SMB > SMO

>>715637592
how the fuck am i gonna know? did you see the pic at >>715637114? thats the cover!

>>715631763
shit, I knew I should have finished it before reading around... thanks for spoiling, that's rad tho

>>715637326
His DKC2 boss fight theme is in when you meet him for the first time. Is his DKC3 theme in? That's what I'm truly curious about.

>>715637114
Everyone loves crocodiles and good villains

This looks absolutely fucking awful

>>715637479
You can't really handle that most of these games are about running through levels and k rool being beat up the end. This would be the same thing as you bitching that k rool isn't on the cover art of DKC.

>>715637641
I think it was the Returns interview that treated the Kremlings as "inessential"
People don't want to be misunderstood and yeah I do think Donkey Kong should have more villains but the Kremlings should never be truly replaced

>>715635724
Sonic Team?

>>715637651
Miyamoto has said the quote of him shitting on DKC is fake, and he helped rare develop a lot of their donkey kong games, he's the one who came up with the coconut gun in 64 even.

>>715636937
This is the same game that also introduced Big Ape City and gives it the same background as being what New Donk is.

>>715637114
He's Donkey Kong's first, main villain
It's like asking why Ganon or Bowser are so popular

>>715631603
>This game is likely Toadette's first chronological appearance as when Mario first meets her here she introduces herself to him. The last time Mario meets her she believes it is the last time she'll ever get to see Mario and is very sad about it. She is also wearing an orange dress in this game, as opposed to the pink dress she is seen to be wearing in every other title.
fake toadette deserved better

>>715637813
>he's the one who came up with the coconut gun
Rare wanted them to have actual fucking guns. Westoids are deranged and need the Japs telling them which ideas are good and which are retarded.

>>715637520
I'm glad they brought Gang-Plank Galleon back again but this remix really does overshadow the actual boss fights' tracks KEK, at least those throw the Crocodile Cacophony fans some bones by using that song's motif

>>715635145
I really like the New Donkians, because they look like they are from an entirely different game. All the Kingdoms kinda feel that way in Odyssey with their denizens, like Mario traveling to different video game worlds. I wish they pushed that concept even further.

>>715637774
The point is his presence is felt throughout the game. You're fighting his Kremlings, the main bad guys are reptiles and then you fight the king of reptiles
Not fighting some other enemy and some other boss for 99% of the game and then in the last minute it just pivots to an entirely different faction

>>715638012
that song was used for his intro.

>>715637845
First doesn't necessarily mean best
Dr. Nefarious' the fan favorite, long lasting villain for his series and he was the third one and even then I've seen fans say they don't want him to be rehashed too much.

>>715637971
>Rare wanted them to have actual fucking guns.
It was a placeholder
They accidentally showed it to Miyamoto, he quickly drew the coconut gun, and they had a fun laugh about it

>>715637674
Found it. Not rape. It’s K. Rool and Corrin having rather vanilla sex.
https://imhentai.xxx/gallery/696585/

>>715638056
The main enemies in Bananza are fossilized Kremlings and Zingers.

>>715635387
What if the Odyssey team actually get the rights to make a game for them? It's clear they are old rarefanfags.

So a lot of the interview has the staff talk about how their experience with Mario Odyssey helped them on DK Bananza, so were they really only working on Bananza this whole time

inb4 we get a cutscene of kid Pauline at the concert and adult Pauline is also there

>>715637114
>K.RoolXFCorrin
Why does that sound intriguing?

Okay so if Donkey Kong was always just Donkey Kong, what's the deal with Donkey Kong Jr?

Does DK (our DK) have a kid that just hasn't shown up in years? I always thought it went
>Cranky Kong (Donkey Kong 1981) -> Donkey Kong Jr -> Donkey Kong (DKC)
But if DK was both the DK in 1981 and DK, who the fuck is Jr?

>>715638101
I know, I'm just it also shows up for the actual fights' tracks, more specifically the final phase, here: https://youtu.be/XQ915tvT6Vs?si=RVfVIi4D6MK4c6Xy&t=829

I should have avoided the spoilers. The shit we see of K.rool is so cool that it would have been amazing to witness blind

>Pauline's grandmother
Who is also Mario's grandmother.

>>715637114
If you're into scalies, fat men, vore (since now) and you're submissive then K. Rool could possibly be the hottest character ever to you.
t. all of these and he's my HOAT

>>715638236
i get that Corrin is also a dragon and all... but Vanilla? really?

at least rape would have made more sense.

>>715638301
Please give us this Nintendo.

>>715638332
Both scalies who are playable in Super Smash Bros. I imagine that was the entire thought process he process for the artist.

>>715631432 (OP)
WHEN DOES IT UNLOCK DIGITALLY IN THE UK? WHY IS THERE NO CLEAR ANSWER? AUGHHHHH

>>715638267
It'd make zero sense from a business stand point especially because the team are of the "gameplay comes first" variety
They're not gonna shell cash for the license to use Banjo-Kazooie and Microsoft isn't gonna fund someone else's exclusive even if they're all but confirmed to be a third party now

>>715637813
And? Did you think that post meaningfully added anything to the conversation? No it didn't.

You're trying to imply things, but fact is the west fucked over Nintendo's (Miyamoto's) intended canon in the 90s, and Nintendo has been undeterred in fixing it no matter how many autistic idiots complain that its not like >muh saturday morning supercade

The new cope is pathetic. Arguing that Nintendo's most historically important title, Donkey Kong for arcade, doesn't actually feature Mario, Pauline or Donkey Kong. Its retard shit.

>>715638362

>>715637114

I don't know how to feel about the possibility of Mario and Pauline being related, but then again, with how much they look alike, it wouldn't surprise me

>>715638362
DK is like Bowser, a deadbet dad.

>>715638415
K. Rool's smash reveal was on 8/8, the jokes were already writing themselves since then for vorefags

>>715638589
Bowser is with his son all the time he's a loving father

>>715638642
The Koopalings were canonically Bowser's children until they were not. Same with DK Jr. Deadbeat dads.

Digital Foundry BTFOd this game

>>715638768
how so

>>715638729
How is that a deadbeat dad if they aren't his kids you moron? He was a good dad in SMB3 and W when they were his kids. He is a good dad to Jr. now.

When are we getting a switch 2 emulator

>>715638729
That one is entirely localizer fanfiction actually. They were always just his generals in Japan.

>>715638449
Playable in like five hours

>>715638768
>The game is good and has some minor technical issues
(You)

>>715638056
This is such nitpicking. Most of the game is running through dk island jumping up on all the cartoon animals along the way you have no idea what k rool even looks like until the actual battle with him. They repeated this multiple times especially in dkc 3 where it just drops you in bear country.

Do we have anything about the postgame yet

>>715638797
Performance and graphics are terrible and it uses FSR1

>>715638616
Yeah I know he was a popular vore char, but he wasn't a canon pred until now

>>715638936

Good day sir

>>715638768

>>715639017
HOLY SHIT HE TURNED HIMSELF INTO WIZPIG

Man, imagine if after beating the Shadow Queen in TTYD, JR Troopa came out and said "I'm the REAL Final boss".
That'd feel really forced.

>>715638868
Factually wrong. The Koopalings were referred to as Bowser's children in the Japanese manuals and other merchandise.

>>715638292
It seems they just took a brief break after Odyssey before starting development in Bananza. Which fits both with the statement that it was meant to be a Switch 1 game and the fact that we have been hearing rumors of the "A big 3D Donkey Kong game" coming out for a couple of years now. I think (didn't bother to read the source, only saw the headline) they even confirmed the DK design from the movie was inspired in the concept art for Bananza, and not the other way around, as we thought.

>>715638937
not surprising but at this point tendies will defend anything

>>715638463
why didn't miyamoto just tell rare not to put cranky or diddy in the games then you retard? he even came up with the idea to put diddy instead of jr.

>>715639102

Donkey you unfaithful FUCK! How could you do this to Candy? Though honestly I can't say I blame you

>>715639163
Because Miyamoto wasn't / couldn't micromanage everything that happened at a bong studio in a language he didn't speak?

Why didn't Miyamoto tell those movie executives not to fuck up the live action movie or tell the cartoon producers that Toad's head wasn't a hat?

>>715639147
Why the fuck is there a RPG dialogue choice in this game?

>>715635638
I agree with you that this is an unretcon, but the manual for DKC does explicitly say that cranky battled with mario in a few of his own games.

>>715639270
Pauline is portrayed by Jenny Kidd in Bananza

>>715638364
I had no intent to get a switch 2 for years, and im sure id get spoiled in a worse way eventually.

>>715639147
Yup, this has Miyamoto's seal of approval all over it. The man may not care about story that much, but he knows his furry bait.

>>715639147
>Cum with me!
The only logical response.

>Monkeys
>Plural
Oh so I guess he hates humans too
Good to know

>>715639515
He’s so racist

>>715639515
>tracing frieza

>>715639359
He isn't. He is literally the "Eldritch horror" that Void Kong unearthed on his greed, and thens proceeds to take over the plot.

>>715639390
Miyamoto literally came up with Diddy and probably Cranky too.
>Why didn't Miyamoto tell those movie executives not to fuck up the live action movie or tell the cartoon producers that Toad's head wasn't a hat?
Because no one, even miyamoto, care if toad's mushroom thing is part of his head or a hat? Also, surely if your theory about miyamoto being buttmad rare came up with new lore for donkey kong is true, he'd make sure that he got as much control as possible over the movie to make sure the same thing doesn't happen?

>>715634064
>Nintendo hated him
The old guard hated him. They're slowly being phased out. The Odyssey team is filled with new blood that respects what had worked before.

>>715639572
Yeah no no, we had it coming

>>715638463
>Nintendo's (Miyamoto's) intended canon
Never existed.

>>715639147
>3rd option
I'd take Poppy as DK's new love interest if they don't want Candy back.

>>715639515
>K. Rool after playing Star Fox 64 once

>>715639515
So does that retroactively make him the tsundere love interest in the Corrin doujin mentioned ITT? He’s convincing himself he’s only making an exception because she’s part dragon.

>>715639153
I’m wondering if they were planning to start work on 3D Mario for Switch 2 right after finishing Bananza on Switch 1 until they had to move Bananza to Switch 2 and if that could’ve delayed the start of development for 3D Mario
The interview says that Bananza was moved to Switch 1 in 2021 but doesn’t say how far along into development it was by then, is it possible that Bananza was already far enough along by the move to Switch 2 that 3D Mario dev could be started simultaneously?

>>715639572
He’s literally me

>>715639658
Candy is mentioned in the game when you meet Diddy and Dixie.

>>715633597
hot damn they did not skimp out on his return

>>715639515
Now I need fanart of him and Freeza

>>715639515
Probably only sees them as more advanced monkeys

>K. Rool isn't good or misunderstood or tragic
>He's just racist and fat

>>715639529
OOOOOOOF! The rejection stings, but that only makes me want her more!

Speaking of spoilers, how long until this grand revival starts spreading elsewhere? Maybe they'd add something from Bananza as DLC for MKW but there's no way they'd blow the Kover this early. Next year?

>>715638463
All Nintendo had to do was release a new game 20 years ago after Rare was gone using the old DK design, if they really wanted to fix their canon. They were using another companies original character for all that time and claiming it as their own, just because they share a name.

>>715639572
There's a brown kremling who he calls "the dirty underbelly of the kremling crew" in super sluggers

>>715638463

Miyamoto doesn't like story or lore elements in his works period.

>>715638580

>>715633597
I seriously still can't believe they went to this level for the return. More than I could ask for. It's very weird with a Prime 4 on the way, a Mario RPG remaster, a TTYD remaster, new M&L, and this that they've pretty much been answering lesser groups of fans wishes. I don't even know what there is else, just F-Zero?

>>715640038
And they're all created by Rare

>>715639914
That doesn't mean he doesn't have a vision for how Mario or Donkey Kong, is supposed to be.

I think the bigger issue with Diddy's eyes isn't the line down the middle but that they lost their slant. They used to fan out at the sides and be widest at the tips, like butterfly wings.

I guess SSB Brawl isn't a Nintendo game. Or you were wrong.
>Then it says in the trophy descriptions that Donkey Kong debuted in the arcade and battled Mario.
Yep. That was the name he went by at the time. SSB also uses a singular "Link" despite there canonically being multiple Links.

>>715636210

>>715637416
Cranky being arcade DK was a last minute retcon Rare and the western branches of Nintendo made without NoJ's permission. Nintendo continued to treat modern DK as the same character as the arcade DK and now they've made it explicit with Bananza. The Country games are now prequels to the arcade games, Mario vs DK, and Odyssey.

>>715640335

It's an excuse for donkey kong to beat up shit. He's king of the jungle after all.

>>715640568

That and two other games one of which got canned

>>715640823

>>715640668
No it isn't, it's literally the basis of his entire character. He's playing the music from the arcade game and standing on the girders from the arcade game in his very first scene, which is also the very first thing you see when you put DKC into the console.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RE5Ff1PJV8
Also, if it was made without Nintendo's permission this game wouldn't of been released.

>>715640194
>If it was up to West cucks Mario would be a ugly bald middle aged loser
You made this up. Show me one piece of western official media that does this. The west if anything treated him more faithfully to miyamutoids vision of a blue collar guy that younger men could look up to.

So the real Kwestion is...should they let K. Rool rest for a bit again or kontinue using him in games as the main antagonist now that he's back?

>>715640568
Nah not Assault 2. I rather be something that we can have on foot like exploring Corneria while also going into missions in space. Also Miyamoto is now busier at Universal

He'll be the main antagonist of the DK movie, this game was intended to be his big return (Smash was an appetizer)

>>715636112
Kek

>>715640335
I love it. It's about time K. Rool had himself a proper logo like Bowser. I hope Nintendo makes a T-Shirt or something.

>>715640925
I don't expect another DK game to happen for a while, but at the very least they SHOULD put him in spin offs with DK and Diddy

>tracing the sissy lizard
I'm gonna have so much fun mocking K. Rool for daring to defy his prince of the saiyans!

I think we all just need to accept that it's a retcon of Rare's cranky. Banaza is a retcon regardless. Either the original Mario/Pauline were not the same characters that came immediatly after it, or cranky was never donkey kong to begin with. The later is just simpler and makes more sense.

>>715640905
>what is a retcon?
Rare retconned arcade DK to be Cranky and now Nintendo has retconned Cranky to just be DK's grandpa/dad. It's not that complicated, they retcon shit all the time.

>>715640721
>The trophy is for Donkey Kong.
Yep. That was the name he had at the time, or so Nintendo seemed to think in order for Otacon's codec to make sense.
>The Cranky Kong trophy says his debut is donkey Kong Country.
Also true, under the name Cranky Kong and with that specific design, that was his first appearance.
>Just take the L.
No, it's all yours, my friend.

>>715640743
Frozen Dong gave us a unique story premise and it was quite the refreshing departure from the modern DK norm. Instead of getting bananas back from [flavor of the month gang], DK and the crew had to battle invaders and reclaim their homeland. Sure it's not Shakespeare levels of storytelling, but it was at least interesting.

>>715641035
>>715641010
>Snoys continue to seethe
CRANKY WAS DONKEY KONG. DK WAS DK JR. HAVE A ROTTEN DAY

>>715640989
>Nah not Assault 2. I rather be something that we can have on foot like exploring Corneria while also going into missions in space.
On foot segments and Arwing segments. So… Assault 2

>>715640989
Yeah unfortunately it seems like Pikmin was the only series he was able to prop up out of obscurity before committing to park and movie stuff. As a Pikmin fan I'm really happy about it being successful, but as a Star Fox fan I see that as pretty much the death of the series pretty much permanently like with F-Zero.

>>715641127
>>715641128
There is no retcon of cranky though.

>>715640335
It's cool but it doesn't really look like K. Rool. Should be a little rounder and cartoonier.

Does k Rool speak English or does he grunt

>>715640925
I think what they should do is give K. Rool a game where you play as him. Then we can give the Kremlings a rest.

>>715641183
You screaming snoy is not helping your case. This has nothing to do with console wars you fucking retard. I've always hated the idea that modern dk wasn't the original dk.

>>715640721
Wrong.
Wrong. Aaaaand Wrong.
Here you go.

Post kremling krew

>>715641264
All grunts, sadly

>>715640721
>Ganondorf isnt Ganon because he debuted in Ocarina
>Baby Mario isn't Mario because he debuted in Yoshi Island

>>715641264
grunt, just like the villain kongs

>>715641265

>>715640925
Depends. If they allow him back to the spin offs, like Mario Kart, the Sport Games, and don't cut him from Smash now, sure, they can try other stuff, maybe even make a thing of Void Kong unearthing more eldritch horrors he can't control. But likewise, if they start vaulting him again, without references, replacing him so soon may not set that well.

Still, in between both options, as he was just a "twist villain" here, I wouldn't mind a second game, with him as the main Villain from the get go, considering how much personality he brought back for Bananza. But again, what matters for me is more than he doesn't get Vaulted, as long as that doesn't happen, I don't mind new villains.

>>715641217
Yes, there was.

>>715641324
>Young Link isn't a Link because he debuted in Ocarina

>>715640335
Really like this logo in the city, hope we get model/texture rips soon

>>715641405
That doesn't retcon cranky.

>>715641320
>Sadly
What you want him voiced by jack black or some shit?

>>715640668
The jap DK64 website played with the idea of Cranky being arcade DK.

>>715641142
>construction site mischief

Or are you going to try to argue the Donkey Kong we play ins Smash Bros is actually Cranky Kong too?

You need to do a lot of crazy shit to make your schizo game theory work.

DK looks stupid and that alone makes me not want to play this game. enjoy your slop.

>>715640823
I don't get why a cartoon monkey game attracts so many schizophrenic retards. Yes, Cranky was the original Donkey Kong. Yes, Miyamoto approved of this direction. Here's an excerpt from the Japanese manual of Super Donkey Kong.

クランキーコング
このりミぽいおじいさんコングは、某をドンキーコング で、80年代のドンキーコン グゲームのヒーローでした。 彼は、イマドキの新しいグラ フイックスやサウンド、マル チボタンのコントローラーを 使った、スーパーファミコン のソフトになんて、ぜんぜん

Fucking annoying.

>>715631854
You're missing Punch-Out!! and Dr. Mario

>>715641010
Kinda crazy that Pauline’s current design has been around for over 30 years now while Peach’s has been around 37 but it wasn’t until Odyssey nearly 10 years ago did she become a main staple despite being in the Mario vs Donkey Kong series that entire time prior

>>715641035
Hal had nothing to do with Kid Icarus and the last Smash game they contributed actual development to was Melee.
Sakurai left Hal after Kirby Air Ride and has worked under his own company Sora ever since.
Sora acts as basically a freelance gathering studio where they were able to put together full teams for Brawl and Kid Icarus Uprising and then it was just Sakurai and his wife alongside Bandai Namco for Smash 4, Ultimate, and Kirby Air Riders.

>>715641467
As a redesign defender who assumed it would grow on me, I'll be real and say it hasn't

>>715640743
Any references to these nogs or jungle beat? It was the dev groups first game.

>>715641465
DK Jr. was involved in Construction Site Mischief, DK 94. Dumbass.

is there no new area in postgame? surprised they didn't throw in a DK isle or something considering mushroom kingdom in odyssey

>>715641405
>shoes
ruined

What are the odds they did consider de-aging for Pauline but realized too late that she had to remain a kid for a post-game to work (and the player would lose access to her customization if she became an adult)?

>>715641445
If they want him voiced they 1000000% want the funny meme voice from the cartoon.

>>715641556
Donkey Kong isn't DK Jr you fucking retard.

>>715641405
That's not a retcon.
That might be Pauline performing music for the New Donkers while Lady Pauline takes care of her while Mayor Pauline is a workaholic.
There are probably 3 Paulines co-existing with eachother.

>>715641490
doesn't count

>final boss spoilers
I'mma jump off the ship of kremling.

>>715641490
While I think this was the original intention, I personally believe it has now been retconned with Bananza. I just don't see them retconning the original arcade to not even be about the real mario to begin with. Bananza is definitely retconning SOMETHING, that much is for certain.

>K. Rool possibly getting added in a Mario Kart update if the idea was to wait until after Bananza to put in other DK characters
Make it so

>>715641175
any excuse is good enough. jungle beat didn't even establish a motivation really he just went in and crushed everything in his path. k rool definitely pigeonholes it into being about bananas though.

>>715641465
It's amusing how you avoid my earlier example with Link who is canonically not the same guy in every Zelda game, despite the trophies treating them all as such.
>You need to do a lot of crazy shit to make your schizo game theory work.
I don't have to do anything. My "theory" is also what Nintendo seemed to think at the time of SSB Brawl considering Otacon's codec dialgoue.

>>715641612
She probably was a adult when they first considered adding her but when they wanted to give her a larger part of the game then she was made a child so she could be on DKs back.

>>715641445
He needs a pompous british accent

>>715641631
It's in the fucking name, retard. DONKEY KONG junior.

Why does K Rool still get to look good while they did that to DK's face

>>715641619
Fair enough, I’d be okay with something like that but I doubt it would happen in a major headliner Nintendo system seller game unfortunately

>>715641745
>Pauline loses her freckles after growing up
That's not how freckles work.

INTERIOR CROCODILE ALIGATOR

Mario babs, you have to admit that K rool is a more fun villain than the oofy doofy turtle

>>715641445
>"do you want the nintendo villain commonly associated with singing to be voiced by a singer?"
Not necessarily Jack Black, but yes? I'm not gonna start acting like K Rool in the cartoon wasn't funny as shit just because you told me to

>>715641418
>All Links after Zelda 2 are not actually Link.

>>715641827
>That's not how freckles work
Freckles can fade with age anon

>>715641612
I was going to suggest using Odd Rock somehow, but I forgot about the customizations.

>>715641490
Are you low IQ or what? Its already been shown that Miyamoto didn't have full control in the 90s, repeatedly.

He has control now, and he's expressing his will by returning canon so that Donkey Kong Arcade is about Mario battling Donkey Kong, simple.

Now that a DK movie is happening and King K. Rool is obviously gonna be the antagonist, who's gonna voice him in the movie?

>>715641940
Charles Martinet

>>715641940
Jack Black.

can someone post the timeline image, i accidentally downloaded the thumbnail version

>hey Freckles

>>715641940
Hopefully some British dude which I think fits him well vs the American accented DK

>>715641827
Freckles fade as people age (and get less sunlight) and Kid Pauline's Diva costume implies she wears make-up to hide them, seeing as that costume removes her freckles.

>>715641612
Should have just had adult Pauline get shrunk and captured. Could have played more with the King Kong theme that way.

>>715633049
movie's universe and the game's universe are different. Jumpman has the last name 'Mario'

DK is DK Jr. in the Mario Movie.

In the game continuity? Still not 100% sure.

>>715641848
Why wouldn’t I? Bowscel is a dopey simp who doesn’t take rejection well. K. Rool is a wild and crazy schizoid.

>>715631912
DK NOOO!!

>>715641175
The Snowmads were clearly a huge improvement over the Tikis and the Kongs from Jungle beat. The two major issues with them is that they did felt very one shot partly because we already had that precedent so far but also as their "Freeze the land" gimmick didn't felt like something it could be expanded upon. The other major issue was trying to build up a "mystery" around Fredrik... just to reveal he was exactly what he seemed to be, a big Warluss leading a Viking crew. As a villain group, the Snowmads are good, as individual characters, they ended somehow lacking.

Honestly, if we go by design and personality alone, so far the ranking of DK villains goes K. Rool and the Kremlings>Void Co>Snowmads>> And then is a toss up between the Tikis and the Other Kongs. The Kongs win in Design. But the Tikis somehow had more personality (but they are helped by Returns somehow having more of an story than Jungle Beat). In general, Nintendo got better with each passing villain, but never got it quite right as the versatility of the Kremlings.

I think the big question is:
WHY IS DK THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT REDESIGNED?
>Diddy's the same, except for the eye flesh strap
>Dixie's the same
>Cranky's the same
>Lanky still has a funny face
>Fucking krool even got his red eye back

What the FUCK is going on?

>>715641745
Idk if it was only the Wii version, but the plot of Jungle beat was the rival kong kingdoms trying to take over DKs.

>>715631975
Riding that Ostrich like a Chocobo

>>715642140
Bowser has an actual son, K.Rools line died with him

>>715641848
Nah, Bowser being far more versatile in personality makes him more fun. We can't ever have DK team up with K.Rool.

Costumes look like major step down from oddsey so far

>>715642283
Bowser has a brother too. The fuck has his brother been up to since Lost Levels?

>just enter 4chan
>"bananza"
>2 treads to discuss and 8 treads trolling
never change /v/, never change,

>>715641848
Bowser's better at being a character overall
K. Rool's better at being a straight forward villain
That's how I see it
I like seeing Bowser occasionally on the side of good and showing positive traits like being a genuine good leader to his Kingdom but I would never want to see K. Rool shown in a positive light

>>715641940
bradley cooper or pedro pascal or some shit
star power matters more than a fitting voice actor

>>715642283
K. Rool is like Inmortan Joe. His whole army are his children, is just that they are all to dumb and inbreed to be a proper heir to his throne. And he would probably exile anyone cappable to challenge him to the throne anyway.

>>715642232
All of the characters match their original designs, because they all originated in DKC. Donkey Kong, on the other hand, originated with the aracade games, so "returning to form" meant going back to the arcade look.


The real answer is that DKs rare look wasn't appealing to japs so they redesigned him to be more universally appealing.

>>715641917
Miyamoto has said multiple times that he worked directly worked on DKC, and was in contact with Rare almost every day. Yes, he did approve of Cranky Kong back then. Get over it.

>>715642430
As based as that would be, can he even voice act anymore since his stroke (or whatever) happened?

>>715642232
They wanted Donkey Kong to be more expressive and looked at Miyamoto's old art for reference.
I know studios like Retro and Next Level Games emote Donkey Kong wonderfully but EPD for some reason kind of sucks at animating Rare DK (though Jungle Beat was pretty good IIRC)
Just look at him in Mario Kart 8
>Dixie's the same
She lost her monoeye as well

>>715642326
Bowser has a on screen, VOICED mother in Marios Time Machine Deluxe.

>>715641940
I would've said Tim Curry, but he's retired and probably can't even speak anymore, so Jim Carrey.

>>715642478
>Returning to form
1)He does not look anywhere like the original design, he just looks like heavily mangled Rarekong
2)Cranky is right fucking there

>>715642526
>Tim Curry had a stroke
I had no idea, I just looked up to confirm he was still alive but I admit I've not heard him in a recent role in years
Is he okay?

>>715642283
K. Rool will never die and no one will ever be worthy of his throne

>>715641441
>>715641634
Pauline being a child means Cranky couldn't have been the one who kidnapped her. And yes, Bananza Pauline is confirmed to be the same Pauline from Odyssey and '94. You lost.

>>715640335
It's alright since it reps all of the kremlings but considering thiis is K. Rool we're talking about, I'd rather they kept the jaw from his Kremling Krew Crossbones.
Or they could have used the head shape of this neon sign but without the eyes. >>715641420

>>715642232
I think the nintendo japan really never was into his Rare redesign at all, so they probably where looking for some chance to get him back into Miyamoto early design

>>715641940
Robert Pattinson and he would also actually try to do a unique voice for him.

>>715642586
The developers explicitly said in an interview redently that they based nuDK on the original arcade design

DK's had this facial design since fucking Mario Party 1. Get fucking over yourselves.

>>715641848
The fundamental difference between Bowser and K. Rool stems from how Bowser's a turtle and K. Rool's a crocodile
You put Bowser with ordinary Koopas (or his kids) and he looks a lot less evil and dangerous
You put K. Rool with ordinary Kremlings and he's unaffected
They seem similar on a surface level but when you think about it, you can't compare the two

>>715642775
The real difference is Bowser is a jerk with a heart of gold while K Rool is just a schizo asshole

>>715642656
They just couldn't get it to work for some reason with their in-house games

>>715642613
I don't know all the details myself but he had something happen that essentially took him out of commission. That was part of the reason why he was relegated to Narrator duty in the newer Rocky Horror

>>715642880
>Jerk with a heart of gold
Eeeh, heart of silver or maybe a higher end bronze, let's not get ahead of ourselves he's also kind of an asshole. It's just his motivations are at least kinda empathetic at times

>>715641940
Whoever is being shilled the most. So either Pedro Pascal or Timothee Chalamet.

>>715642880
I meant more why Bowser is inherently destined to lean on being a jerk with a heart of gold at best and a bully at worst rather than a pure evil villain.
Turtles aren't scary
Some are dangerous like snappers sure but not scary, most people think they're cute.

>>715642164
Agreed, though I would say Void Co has a different kind of issue in that their goons are by far way less interesting or memorable than either of the Snowmads or even the Tikis. It's a shame, really.

>>715642613
Alive but in really bad shape due to a stroke.

>>715641940

Someone who can go from prim and proper to batshit insane in an instant.

>>715632841
He will shower her with Coconut Creampies

>>715641186
If they were able to do DK without him, they clearly can with Star Fox.

>>715643041
>Turtles aren't scary
You've never seen a snapping turtle then
Those fuckers are evil

Why are boomers so obsessed with this crocodile?

based.
>They made him use generic grunts and grahs for his speech like odyssey bowser
gay. his dk jungle climber voice clips were peak

I'm actually surprised they gave K.Rool different cannonballs for his second phase.

Like I can totally understand why shit like the "reverse" and "freeze" gas spheres that can't be countered won't fly in modern gaming, but at least they tried their best to make him annoying.

would have been bonkers if he released a random spiked ball to screw over with people that got used to his pattern.

>>715643360
He's in good games. You wouldn't get it.

>>715643474
>DKC3
>Good
lol, okay

>>715643432
DKC2's boss fight was so hard that they dumbed down K.Rool in DKC3.

>>715643606
Yeah, it is.

>>715643360
Because he was the established Donkey Kong villian since 94 and all but vanished in the GameCube era.

It'd be like if Bowser just disappeared after 64.

>>715633676
Holy fuck is Candy perfect here

>>715641940

There's only one option and you damn well know who that is.

If their parents kept their SNES or any of their cousins did, they probably got to play DKC.
