>people thought this was the smash model

chat is this king k. real?

Maybe one day Nintendo will come up with their own DK characters...

>>715638584 (OP)
That's clearly a cheap edit of Little Mac

>>715639381
they did but spergs want K. Rool

>>715639381
They tried
All they could come up with was a floating head and hands again

Does he make Banjo noises or does he have a British accent

>>715639927
neither, he just growls

>>715639845
The spergs have good taste

>>715639975
Gay

>>715639775
Kek

>>715638584 (OP)
I love King K Rool

>>715639927
Should have figured that Nintendo wasn't cool enough to remember Ben Campbell

wish he wasn't in such an ugly game.

>>715638584 (OP)
His scales follow the quad topology of his model.

>>715638584 (OP)
I'm so sorry for being a non-believer

Long Live the King!

>>715640575
More that they refuse to make any actor have weight or prominence after what happened with Martinet.

>>715638584 (OP)
Feels like 2018 again

>>715639381
The issue is that other than Kremlings the enemies shown in DKTF and DKCR are extremely lame and forgettable

>>715638727
even worse
>people thought this was AI

>>715643014
what did the gaylord do?

>>715640575
Someone should ask him to dub K. Rool's dialogue in the game

>>715642195
It's the smash design which mixed the Rare and Nintendo versions together.
>scaly body
>gold armor
>claws
>small crown
>less protruding eye

>>715642195
When you discover the reason behind K Rool's normalcy, you will feel shame for your words and posts.

>>715643110
Demand more money and better rights when they pitched up his performance without paying him to do "Luigi" in Smash Bros.

>>715639381
They did and they were inferior.
People wanted K.Rool because he's great you retarded faggot.

>>715643187
It also give him his tail back after the Paon era removed it

>>715643187
Bigger eye and crown fits new DK better.

I'm not gay but I'd probably suck k. rool's dick if given the chance
not buying a switch 2 or dk btw

>made it explicitly clear k. rool's golden belly is actually armor

>>715643205
Don't think so lil BITCH

>>715639845
based spergs

>>715642195
Because King K. Rool is fucking perfect

>>715639845
wtf I love spergs now

>>715639845
>Spergs were based for once
I kneel

>>715642195
>primate gets new design
>crocodile doesn't
yeah that's how it's been going for a while now

>>715642278
There's no better way to introduce K. Rool than a close up of him slapping his belly

>>715638584 (OP)
Damn, he's beefy.

>>715639845
based and you're a bitch too

>>715646127
I want to fill that belly full of cum

>>715638584 (OP)
PINCHE FURRO MANTECOSO!!!

>>715639381
They tried once, and it just resulted in bad Kongs.

So how old is Mario?

>>715639845
*they tried, but they failed twice in a row, so they gave up and went back to the public-approved one

Why is /v/ like this?

Anyone have a link to the rip an anon made of the Gangplank Galleon theme?

Apologize for what? Always being a believer in the King Kommander of the Kremlings?

>>715639381
They did like 3 times, not a single one succeeded

>>715638584 (OP)
Why does KRool looks like his good old SNES self while Donkey Kong looks like his retarded inbred cousin?

>>715646703
I really wish all
>/v/ is one person
posters would die in a fire.

>>715646810
Have you seen the Kong "family"? They are all fucking each other.

>>715646127
That's basically his taunt from Smash.

>>715639381
Oh shut up

>>715638584 (OP)
I can't believe that the leaks were real including seeing minion Kremlings as well. How did Nintendo fuck up? You know how they get about leaks. So I'm surprised King K Rool was confirmed before the release of the game. Hope the leakers know how to dodge Nintendo Ninjas.

That said anyone else a bit disappointed that King K Rool is Ganondorf in this game? He literally has the power of rot which is what Ganondorf did to Link in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I know K Rool always had super powers like turning invisible but this seems a bit more extreme compared to the zany character who dresses up like a pirate or mad scientist.

Also did anyone else feel it was weird to see Non Pauline human characters in a DK game it was even more uncanny to see King K Rool mingling in human society. Doesn't help that DK and King K Rool cannot speak the human tongue. But anyway seeing K Rool in a human world was weird.

>>715638584 (OP)
I'll say it once and I'll say it again King K Rool should have been voiced by Robin Williams. King K Rool's perchance to doing multiple personas easily blends with Robin Williams being able to do different types of voices with extreme range. Just a shame that he's dead though.

>>715646127
>the small jiggle when he slaps his belly
this must be where all the budget of the game went

>>715646967
DK Land's last level was an entire city with blimps
Whether humans lived there I have no idea

>>715646653
Thrice, don't forget the Jungle Beat kongs.

>>715646810
Miyamoto wanted to fuck up Rare's legacy. Too bad for him the people made it clear that Donkey Kong is nothing without King K. Rool.
Now we wait for the inevitable Feel the Power, Feel the Burn Jazzercise album that will sell a K. Roolion copies on day one.

>>715646127
hot

>>715646967
Rool doesnt have magic, it was the Banandium Root that gave him that power.

As for the weird clash of art styles, I kinda dig it in a way. Before release, the game felt like an Alice in Wonderland story where a girl gets transported to crazy ass Rareware land with all these goofy looking Kongs and characters. The ending just reverses that with an old ass Rare character coming to "the real world" and trying to take it over.

Why not make Krool a sumo?

>>715639845
It's not a our fault that the Tikis suck, the evil Kongs suck, and that the Snowmads felt like a literal rip off of King K Rool's gimmick. King K Rool doing the viking theme would have been a natural fit for him and the Kremlings.

>>715646249
Not if he shoves you there first

>>715647220
>that belly button jiggle
lord almighty

>>715646703
>Why is /v/ like this?
I believe in opinion A and B, I'm a stupid walking contradiction

>>715647169
The Mario universe in general even if its Mario, Wario, or DK has always had an Alice in Wonderland vibe especially the mushrooms that shrink or grow anyone. The only difference is in Alice in Wonderland its all a dream. In Mario the universe itself is real.

>>715647326

>>715638584 (OP)
GOTY

>>715647381
truly GOTY material, slop obscur would never

>>715647216
Most of the snowmads were fine. Even the bosses had a good amount of character. It was just Lord Fredrick who had literally less personality than wood. If he had an ounce of K. Rool's kharisma, people might look on the group more fondly.

>>715647381
>biblically accurate angel composed of rotten bananas behind him

Does he have a speaking voice or is it weird grunts?

>>715647220
>the stomp and belly jiggle
bros....can it get any better than this?

>>715647381
It makes sense enough as a parallel to DK thumping his chest but man they're really set on "K. Rool thumps his belly, that's his deal, right"

>>715647546
the second thing

>>715647476
If his boss fight wasn't literally just "We have K. Rool at home" that'd have done wonders since doing that just made everyone compare him to K. Rool.

>>715646127
That's gay as fuck.

>>715642195
The only major change to K Rool's design is now he has a tail. And while he had a tail in DK64 generally K Rool is designed lacking a tail.

>>715646127
why do women find this hot? literally my fujo friend wants to draw some K.RoolxDK stuff now.

Any references to Jungle Beat hidden anywhere?

>>715647570
This is really good, but him speaking with an English accent would've been transcendent perfection

>>715646127
I want to fuck his navel so badly hnghhh

>>715647476
The two things I want them to follow up on now is a game where the Kremlings, the Snowmads, and the Tikis all interact
And a game bringing back DK Jr, whom going by the new timeline simply didn't appear in DKC etc because he didn't exist yet

>>715647476
To me the leader of the Snowmads should have been the ice cream polar bear. He was the best one.

>>715647570
What turns me on the most about this are the facial expressions, they are fucking amazing

>K. Rool saying "He is back in action"
>posters in New Donk City stating "K. Rool is back"
>he gets yeeted in the sky but not sealed away again
So... is he going to become the main villain for DK again from now on?

>>715647686
I would’ve actually came if they brought back Benedict Campbell to voice him

I ordered Switch 2 and Bananza after seeing K.Rool leaks

>>715647598
Anon, he always had a tail in the Rare games, look up his sprites

>>715647381
OH FUCK ISN'T THE BANANA WISH STAR LITERALLY THE ANGEL FROM THE FAIRY ODD PARENTS MEME?

>>715647659
Maybe a fossil.

>>715647710
Better boss fight too.

>>715647686
Anon, Nintendo is never acknowledging the DK show, ever

>>715647659
the entire game revolves around "beats"

Pauline's beat

DK's beat

K.Rool's beat


then DK goes full Gear 5 Luffy when he gets trapped in stone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKnNNz9ViY4

>>715647624
DK is pure, he doesn't know what sex is. K. Rool however? He's a villain so he's fair game.

>>715647771
That's what it looks like to me. He gained Bowser status from Nintendo

Can't wait for the porn

>>715647216
The evil Kongs were cool

>>715647381
is this a post game fight?

>>715648008
He is the secret final fight after fake credits

>>715646649
That's a good question, where does Mario fit in all this especially since we know he's not from the city since the stork delivered him to a random town during Yoshi's Island.

>>715647850
Not as a reference to the show, but as a reference to Rare

>>715647951
I want [my fetish here] porn of the snakes here, not DK.

>>715647570
Toxotransmosis moment.

>>715647659
Would be very odd if there isnt, considering that was this dev teams first game.

>>715647929
So does this mean that K Rool's wife will be canon and he will become a goofy loving father to his son in the same style as Bowser?

>>715647850
The Crystal Coconuts in DK64 are from the show.

>>715642934
> Casually uppercuts your game's main villain

>>715648058
I mean that particular scene i havent seen before from the phases of the final fight.

>>715647659
One of the signs in NDC

>>715648341
do we ever get to actually fight Void in the game?

>>715647381
K Rool is voiced? What does he sound like?

>>715647087
I don't know Donkey Kong could face different villains the problem is that the staff never gets too creative when it comes to making new baddies for DK. Look at other franchises like Ninja Turtles who have great Non Shredder villains. Look at Kirby and how many different nemesis he fights against.

>>715638584 (OP)

>>715648486
https://youtu.be/3LVJTHsbh-8?si=_EsVd5rGJLXP4Sro&t=37

>>715648341
It was at this moment that Void knew he was finished.

Speaking of which, DK is the only character within this universe who has had enemies who are from his own species the Kongs. Notice how Wario and Mario never really fight other humans and don't count Captain Syrup since Wario doesn't beat her up and in her final appearance she's seen as tongue in cheek morally grey character instead of a villain.

>>715648260
I don't know but I wouldn't mind a DK RPG

Nintendo hates their fans, no wonder they're not bringing Benedict Campbell to do the voice even if he's perfect for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eggzBAzCZg

>>715648691
Wario fights other humans in Master of Disguise.

>big evil lizard that gets an oversized transformation at the end
So... it's just a shittier Bowser?

>>715648510
Wait a minute, who's the yellow bandana turtle?
I knew there was a female one but is there a 5th brother now?

>neon lit k rool themed new donk city
>classic DKC enemies showing up and making the same noises they did on SNES
EPD-dono... I fucking kneel.

>>715648691
>Notice how Wario and Mario never really fight other humans
They literally fought each other.

>>715648579
Damn that's even more monstrous than I was expecting.
>Crocodile Cacophony starts playing
Holy Kino

Do we find out if the zesty monkey antagonist is a tranny?

>>715648510
There's nothing wrong with having multiple villains. But there's villains, and then there's the Nemesis. Even when Kirby is taking on the new cosmic horror of the week, you always fight Dedede in some shape or form. Kirby even has his own hype nostalgia villain in Dark Matter. Everyone is always hyped to see the black eye come back in some shape or form, even if just implied.

>>715648579
This is so gay. I rather see the OG DK facing King K Rool, not this down syndrome Kiddy Kong ripoff.

>>715648341
>NO NO NO K ROOL SAMA! TASUKETE! AAAAIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!

>>715648510
True, but it's hard to top perfection. Especially when your only motive is spite for the Bongs that turned a game series that has been dead for over a decade into a phenomenon.

>>715648579
King K Rool reminds me of Blackbeard from One Piece

>>715639845
This is one of those times in which the spergs were right

>>715648579

>>715649369
yeah I agree but Rare is gone dude

>>715649369
Shut the fuck up, Cristobal.

>that credits theme

Okay now I know this game was made for the disney crowd. What pixar gay crap is this

>>715648480
Twice, once halfway through and once right before K. Rool shows up. Every major boss gets two fights.

>>715649369
Was Bowser ever intending to devour the planet out of insanity?

>>715649274
He disguised himself as the deus ex machina you turd

>>715649441
The Pauline design didn't tip you off?

>>715649218
Ruskys can't read English. Clearly says Blackbeard from One Piece

>>715649274
he has a bananza form, how is that not a costume?

Pardon the retarded question but how the fuck is everyone playing this when it's supposed to release tomorrow?

He’s a big guy

>>715646127
BOW DOWN TO THE
BOW DOWN TO THE KING

The yellow turtle is a human female named Jennika that got mutated due to needing a blood transfusion and they used Leonardo's mutated blood. And don't worry she's a lesbian for a literal fat pig. As you can already imagine the character is awful and even the writers who are still working on this comic have "dropped" Jennika as if she doesn't exist. She is so terrible not even scalies like her.

Start choking on turtle dick when Bowser catches half as many players off guard as K Rool did and WILL do again with this game through his fakeout credits

>>715647087
Koizumi might have not worked directly on this game, but his influence is felt big time: he notoriously goes against Miyamoto in order to break the status quo in the games, like when he pushed the first Mario Galaxy to have a darker ending and Rosalina's backstory.

>>715648579
>the fake out credits
Holy fucking kino

>>715649369
King K Rool is quite different from Bowser. For one thing King K Rool is famous for his personas. And before anyone says "But Bowser did multiple personas in the Mario Bros USA cartoon!" Nigga even if he did this its not considered part of Bowser's main theme as a villain in the official Mario games. Bowser is a dragon king who wants to marry a princess. So this is King K Rool's gimmick.

Another major difference is Bowser is presented as a good boss to his minions (except movie Bowser but we don't speak of Jack Black Bowser). King K Rool on the other hand is quite abusive to his minions which is why some of the Kremlings happily betray him like in DK64.

Another thing is Bowser has a son whom he loves. King K Rool is implied to have a wife but he has no son or daughter. So they're both quite different.

>>715650423
She's not attractive. She looks like an old hag due to the grey hair. The Chinese foot binding tiny feet are creepy and she's featureless with no tits so that's lame.

Tiny Kong and Candy Kong are missed. And Dixie Kong is only good when Wamu draws her.

Ashleyfags status?

>>715650510
>ywn be vocally rejected by Poppy Kong with a look of disgust on her face
It's so over.

>>715650526
so....a rare game?

>>715649643
I think it's only for the fight. Look at the banana phone thing, it looks like the same size

>>715650594
More like when will we get another 3D Wario game. That's what we need. And no more farting Wario that shit is gross.

Odds of Mario Kart World adding him in DLC?

>>715650592
Don't worry bro, Candy is our next goal now we've got K. Rool

>>715650539
Mario Kart doesn't allow Non Mario characters with DK and Wario being the only exception. God the new roster is awful.

So Nintendo is willing to acknowledge what Rare accomplished with their own character in it's prime? Being a western studio that is a bit surprising

>>715650625
If Yooka-Laylee was a good indication for, was that all the people who yelled for years how Rare was amazing and Bajo-Kazooie was the greatest game of all time because some american e-celeb told them were full of shit and never actually played the games.

>>715650848
Prequel. Maybe implied her grandmother was arcade Pauline but they probably didn’t think about it

>>715650787
because everyone loved the original trilogy. to pretend otherwise would be pure delusion or jealously.

>>715650228
Not necessarily as a crossover, but i always felt a Kingdom Hearts style RPG would work for something Mario related.

>>715650848
It's a prequel, the final screen says the adventure continues with art of loli Pauline doing music on the sidewalk in New Donk City.

/v/ should sing let's tip the scales to celebrate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI-akG-P5go

>>715650787
Why not? Odyssey was already ripping off Banjo.

>>715650923
I would give that idea to Legend of Zelda because Link wields a sword by default along with multiple types of weapons like huge hammers. Mario on the other hand typically has no weapon and if he carries a weapon its his hammer but that's it. You won't see Mario using a spear or a sword.

>>715648579
Neat. Wish the fight was a full on brawl instead of "reflect projectile at boss 12 times" kinda thing but in terms of k rools re-entry into the series id say they nailed it.

>>715650969
And she's wearing cool black shoes as well. And that ending is somewhat depressing. Young Pauline is effectively what, homeless performing on the streets alone? What kind of ending is that?

>>715649263
Gangplank Galleon stands out like a sore thumb compared to the generic music they did for the first and third phase

Why is Pauline va so bad?

>>715639381
retarded fucking ho

The evil monkes from Jungle Beat were kind of cool
literally no one cares about the Snomads

>>715646769
Arch is your friend

>>715651068
And Banjo remains dead sadly.

The only good thing that has happened to Banjo is that Gregg Mayles has quit working at Rareware. That hack has been blocking Banjo Threeie for multiple decades. To hell with him.

>>715650787
Breh, I love Rare, but what else is there to really say? The game speaks for itself as an incredibly realized and self-aware game. It would be weird if they put in some message in the credits.

>>715649906
>fakeout credits
The kredits are a just cutscene in this game, there's nothing in the actual fight.

>>715651347
she's fine assuming the va is still the same from odyssey and the various spinfoffs

>>715649669
Wow. How awful and retarded. I was hoping they could make that one snapping turtle mutant into an adopted brother of sorts to the main TMNT to get a 5th one but they went with something even dumber than my idea.

is my nigga Krusha back?

>>715650787
Nintendo, for years had no problem having Krystal be in Star Fox games after Star Fox Adventures. So this isn't too out of left field for me, even more so since K. Rool is a character from a far more popular series of games and is seen as the main villain of it.

So between the barefoot loli and bringing back K.Rool exactly as we all remember him, did Nintendo win?

>>715650592
>She looks like an old hag due to the grey hair.
I know, it's awesome right?

>>715651608
I noticed he wasn't in the fake-out credits, of all the characters listed

>>715638584 (OP)
So was Krool and the Kremlings stuck as a golden paper weight since DK 64 or something hense why he didn't appear in any other game until now? (Smash Ultimate not included)

>>715638584 (OP)
I apologize

Happy he's back but I liked the Void fight better and preferred K. Rool more when he had simple motives rather than being some eldritch rotbeast. Void just being a greedy SOB felt more K. Rool-like, but I get to up the narrative stakes you had to come out with something bigger for K. Rool.

>>715650970
>you should be grateful to autistic e-celebs

Well in my OC head canon fan game bullshit, its set in the future/alternate timeline of Mario where all of the characters are older and the two main characters you play are:
-A melee attacking focused character that is implied to be Mario's adult son and has the vibes of Luigi in the 1993 Mario movie, wearing a backwards cap and using weapons like mallets, plungers, a Power Glove punch, Super Scopes and Zappers. Also uses the jump boots from the 1993 movie for a boost and kick attack.
-A magic using character named Rose (implied to be Rosalina) that casts spells by using various Mario series power-ups like fire flowers and super stars along with other various magical attacks. She would have a belt around her waist holding various power-up items(and a Geno doll).

They would go around as bounty hunters in a decaying Mushroom World that is bleeding out its whimsical, magic essence and becoming more "real". (think the Mushroomy Kingdom wasteland stage in Smash Bros Brawl) Mario and Bowser are gone, Peach is dead with a royal tomb that Toads bring gifts to, an old Luigi runs a museum dedicated to his brothers legacy and the "Mario brand" is owned by a major corporation creating all kinds of Mario branded merchandise and weapons that cash in on the brand and nostalgia. The two heroes travel around meeting future versions of other classic characters, like a Bowser Junior leading the Koopa Troop, DK in the roll of Cranky and Diddy and Dixie being the new heroes(or a new Son of Kong), Wario is a massively obese shut-in that lords over his wealth hoarded castle, Waluigi married Daisy and becomes the king/oil baron of Sarasaland. The evil bad guys are a group of villains consisting of Fawful and Tatanga (and maybe a 3rd) leading a group of Shroobs and robots. The real villain is revealed to be a reconstructed Smithy 2.0, built into a orbiting satellite, and is the siphoning all of the magic from the planet. And then something something you fight Giga Bowser.

She's a new VA from the older Pauline and did the singing for Pauline in all languages

>>715652079
His motive is to eat rotten bananas, that's pretty simple

>videos showing all bosses are already showing up on my YouTube recommendations list
HOW ARE THESE FAGGOTS PLAYING THE GAME ALREADY I JUST WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS AND PLAY THE FUCKING GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>715651812
>https://files.catbox.moe/cueeoo.mp3
im a lil upset there is no boss fight segment where you have to play reverse arcade Donkey Kong and climb up a tall structure to rescue Pauline from a boss

>>715652261
which makes no sense. his motive has always been to give a middle finger to DK and take his bananas. As simple as that. He didnt care about eating them, which Nintendo apparently fucked up.

>>715651702
>last krystal appearance was a billion years ago

The fuck is Nintendo's problem?

I like how K. Rool and the Kremlings were saved for one section, makes them feel more special and 'premium' than, say, koopas. I think it'd make sense if they kept that approach, not as a twist villain every time, but have there be another threat to serve as the basic enemies and bosses alongside K. Rool, and Kremlings only appear as stronger enemies in certain segments of the game. You can even have him set things up in the opening, and for example he could be racing DK across the game's levels and only show up when their routes to the end converge. Then you get the kremling enemies.

>>715652261
Eh it's silly, I feel like his wish should be for DK Isle, a new Kremling Kontinent, etc. It's fine, I'm nitpicking. Happy the big boi is back overall.

>>715652385
Let’s be honest, the old motive made no sense which is why they dropped it pretty quickly otherwise he’d drop them in the ocean.
He clearly wanted to eat them

>>715638584 (OP)
I skipped the new mario kart because its open world slop, but i will drop 80 bucks on it if they make k rool playable

>>715652385
his motive was never clear in rare's games, he just stole bananas because he had to do something bad so DK has a reason to fight him
him wanting to eat bananas was a possible motive, and that one line from jungle climber that only appears in english version (the devs were japanese) means nothing

>>715652385
It's a little weird how K. Rool and DK don't really acknowledge each other at all. DK doesn't seem to recognize him and K. Rool doesn't seem to care that Donkey Kong is there except to attack him.

>>715652641
DK looked pissed though.

>>715652313
Your own fault for going online before the game launches.

>>715652703
He was frowning at him the same way he frowned at Void Kong, that's pretty much it

>>715649643
For You

>>715646784
Fuck off fagoon

>>715652427
You can blame the fact they keep remaking 64 for that one and the last Star Fox game they released was a close to finish version of Star Fox 2. If a new Star Fox game comes out and isn't a 64 redo and needs a hot lady, Krystal (and possibly Kat) will be the first things they think of adding to the game.

What are little kids going to think when the villains build up the whole game are suddenly replaced by a random fat crocodile

I wondered why you guys were so obsessed with this croc fuck but I see now it's just furry fat fetish shit
Kill all coomers

K. Rool doesn't need a motivation. The games' tone are lighthearted and comedic, plus K. Rool breaks the 4th wall and knows he's in a game because he keeps making fake credits.

>>715652351
I mean, that does kind of happen before the final phase, they just went for a more subtle approach
>you're on the run to rescue New Donk from K Rool who stands tall at the top of the city
>you constantly climb meters to get to his location (like you did with DK in the arcade game)
>red building structures are prominent from beginning to end in the stage
I don't know about you but I think that's as clear a reference as it needs to be

>>715653004
Was this before or after he lost? Maybe it's sour grapes. Er... bananas.

>>715638584 (OP)
Does this means K. Rool will now become an active villain in future DK games if they make more? and he will be the main villain of the DK movie they announced?

>>715653290
I suppose. I just think it would have better if Rool kidnapped Pauline and you had to climb up to him without any of your transformation powers while also jumping over barrel like obstacles and flames chasing from behind you.

>>715653290
Yeah it was clear that moment was just K Rool corrupting Classic DK iconography which is very kino and a perfect way of establishing how much he hates him

>>715652564
>>715652385
King K. Rool was a CONQUEROR
He sought to conquer the apes of Donkey Kong Island by starving them all, which is why he stole the bananas
He did not destroy them because he could also use the bananas as a means of coercion/control - if he has the food source, the Kongs would have to capitulate to his every demand or else go hungry

K. ROOL NO

>>715652641
K. Rool's line is something like,
"YOU'RE the ones to set me free?" I don't mind simplicity. The less said the better, it's a dumb ape and a psycho crocodile king

>>715649369
Bowser just wants Peach, K Rool, he wants it, he wants it all.

>>715652920
Little kids have internet access and can see that K. Rool was in the most recent Smash Bros., and that there is an amiibo of him.

>>715653510
This line and him taking over New Donk/its transformed look, really felt like a reference to the 1993 Mario movie/King Koopa.

>>715646653
>>715639845
>>715643292
>>715646786
>Retro making new enemies
>NINTENDO FAILED
I would say really only DK Jungle Beat was an actual Nintendo made game. Retro Studios are their own things and they're the ones who came up with concept for Tikis, Snowmads.

>>715653284
His motive in bananza is fucking amazing though.
Not only is it fucking insane like he is, it shows how much of an egomaniac he is, wanting everyone to end up as nothing but food for him while he alone reigns supreme on top of the food chain

>>715650423

Fucking asshole killed Hinawa and made Claus live a living hell as a mindless slave just to later die in the hands of his brother... and Porky's whole fucking motivation was "lmao let's see what happens if I do this lol"

because she is female

KKK in a Nintendo game.

>>715646127
how do I achieve this physique?

So is K Rool's wife giant or normal size

>>715652427
It's the same problem K. Rool had really: her series barely gets any games anymore, and the one (ONE) new game it got in the twenty years since Command was just a 64 throwback.

>>715654926

>>715654951

>>715654637
Wouldn't be surprised. As happy as I am to see K. Rool again, I am glad that Nintendo finally gave Donkey Kong at least one other somewhat fun and charismatic villain if they needed. Both Lord Frederick and especially the Tikis were flat and boring to where I couldn't care less if they ever appeared again, but I quite like Void Kong.

Yeah sorry for calling you guys coping retards.

>>715655318
>DK and Pauline have only one outfit each
>other Kongs are missing
Gee, I wonder if the first wave of DLC for Nintendo's Mario Kart World™ (2025) might be based on Nintendo's Donkey Kong Bananza™ (2025)

>>715654960
It's not really comparable to K. Rool at all. There has never been a Nintendo console without a major Donkey Kong game except for the Switch which just had ports. He had plenty of games and even when he didn't, he and his cast were frequent fliers in spinoffs. K. Rool himself lasted until the DS. Even his flagship DKC series still got games, it's just that he wasn't in them and they replaced him with a bunch of generic randoms.

It would be like if they made 10 Star Fox games after Command and none of them had Krystal and instead had a secondary new character in her role called like, Nancy

>>715655452
Nintendo know cities are evil, the modern day equivalent of an evil castle like in the NES days

>>715655293
zamn

>>715655439
If they want some quick cash, they could just recycle this 2D stuff to make a DKC4/Returns 3.

>>715655330
And then Porky deactivates the Devil's Machine,t he only thing that keeps Giygas mind from going insane, and basically betrays Giygas and fucks him up only to win against Ness.
Porky fucked up the embodiment of evil just to win, and created one of the scariest boss battles in SNES.

This was all they had to do.
Bringing back the glorious King and his cronies.
It's finally just not Pauline posting. It makes me happy.

>>715647067
Big Ape City was loosely described in the manual as the setting of the Arcade game. Then a kids novelization of the game had the idea that this used to be the capitol of DK Island until the Kongs had a cultural "Return to Nature" moment and abandoned it.

>>715648579
>it's just a reskinned Bowser

>>715655825
>>715655905
A lot of it is definitely spawned from DK Jungle Beat, especially considering there were rumors about Koizumi declaring the old Rare cast as "unfresh for today's gamings". Of course years later it was discovered that was complete bullshit, just like the infamous "Miyamoto called DKC's gameplay mediocre" quote.

https://dkvine.com/?p=news_body&post=5945

Having New Donk and K. Rool in the same game, or even Pauline saying the line "K Rool!", feels like the kinda stuff that would give Miyamoto a stroke. The devs should have tried to sneak some Goomba enemies in somewhere.

>>715655318

He only did it because of smelly fans badgering him for decades.

>>715646967
DK Land is also a video game about Cranky betting DK he couldn't sell a successful video game if it was in 8-bit, and then calling K. Rool to steal the bananas to see if he could do it.

>>715649369
Bowser is just some simp who gets one upped repeatedly by other villains. Almost every game with Bowser and another villain has Bowser being usurped from his villain spot almost immediately.
Only that vampire faggot from Dream Team played second fiddle to him.
Meanwhile K.Rool is the dominating force of every game he's in.

And unlike Bowser, K.Rool actually got a girl.

Not buying a Switch 2 but seeing him with the jet pack and the Crocodile Cacophony remix playing was dope I’m glad that this is like the one good Nintendo team still around

So where does this game sit in the timeline? Its an Odyssey prequel? The city was already called New Donk City, which kidna ruins the idea that Pauline opened up the city herself when she became a mayor

>>715656331
people were asking for YEARS for k rool to be in and it took a fucking ballot for him to understand that people actually really liked him. he doesn't get a thank for being out of touch and having to be shown that people want a character in smash

>>715657684
Homie, sorry to tell you this, but Wizpig is not a Nintendo character. I haven't seen any videos of the postgame, just what I've seen posted online. There's also time attack on the Rambi layer and the other two modes you can unlock through Grumpy Kong is a regular enemy Arena and something called "Banana Mines Reborn" or something

>>715652385
>>715652079

I actually really like the idea of K.Rool not liking bananas but wanting to eat them all out of sheer fucking spite.
Him being an absolute petty dickhead is the best.

>>715657613
They had to dial down on the 'you again!?' Dialogue to cater to children and normies new to the DK series. Best the devs could give was Dixie referencing DKC2 and Gangplank / Cacophoney being thrown in there during encounters with him

>>715654951
>>715657490
We need more art of King K Rool's wife. She has that Goof Troop Peg energy.

Also about Bowser he had junior so did they ever reveal what happened to Bowser's first wife? Like that is officially in a game.

>>715657516
So no Mushroom Kingdom equivalent? Damn. Was really hoping we could fuck around on DK Isle or New Donk City. At least there's shit to do.

>>715647624

The real question is, what about the next game? There is no ballot anymore. The roster could be a real mess now if the team making the game is out of touch. The only characters the older staff at Nintendo recognize as popular are Sans from Undertale and Steve from Minecraft.

Going to be awkward if they ruin the roster.

How did that happen? Did Bowser turn Peach into a koopa impregnated her and then after she gave birth she went back to being human and her memory erased? We know Bowser has a transformation fetish (he found elephant Peach attractive).

>>715653571
i like that, he might be a bit surprised but it's more

The Super Metroid remake

>>715658445
It really blows my mind that Nintendo struck gold with an official Bowsette, something that could have been remembered fondly for generations to come, and they just decided not to use her until it was too late.

Everything is possible

>>715658263
I'm sure k rool will make it back since he's the final boss of bananza and he's a fairly popular character in smash iirc

as for the rest, it depends if sakurai and nintendo actually learned anything from the ballot. Apparently sakurai mentioned he was a bit shocked to learn k rool was so popular so it might not bode well for which newcomers they pick

>>715658591
they knew about the barrage of evil porn it would unleash (it still did anyway, it was just that powerful)

>>715657942
Not that I'm aware of. DK Isle would be amazing and I am also hoping for it

>>715658036
Ridley needs to be a better character. The only thing he does is get cloned and get killed repeatedly by Samus. Doesn't help that he's supposed to be intelligent but all he does is roar like a brainless animal in the actual games. We don't need to see Ridley again until he becomes a better character. And it really doesn't help Ridley has never been the main threat of Metroid games he's always serving a higher power.

>>715638584 (OP)
done, check your PMs

Only thing that will ruin the roster is going way too hard on cutfaggotry, rather just see a Switch 2 upgrade for Ult with maybe 10 new guys to fill some of the johnny-come-late requests

You're right, I could've

Does this game take place before or after the Rare titles?

>Best the devs could give was Dixie referencing DKC2
What does she say?

>>715658978
She talks about how she and Diddy saved DK once.

>>715658960
After.

>>715658960
they make references to DKC 1-3 and 64 but it's also implied to be before Odyssey

>>715638584 (OP)
w-wizpig chads????

>>715658591
The thing about Mario characters is that even if Bowser Peach were just around for a single boss battle in Odyssey, they could easily include her in all spin-offs forever, considering how they disregard any kind of story sense with stuff like Baby Mario, Metal Mario and Dry Bowser as separate characters. There's also no "bad human girl" in the Mario cast so she'd have an obvious niche.

>>715657912
Would have been funny if at first Rool doesnt even recognize DK due to the redesign and just thinks he is another new Kong family member the game devs made up.

i know theres a 0% chance but im hoping beyond hope they got the guy from the dkc cartoon to voice him

>>715658786
There’s not really much room for Ridley anymore. He’s dead in 2D and out of commission in Prime until Samus Returns bridges the gap. I’m hoping Sylux is a more interesting villain this year.

>>715653807
>He won't eat Void Kong like anons said
>He wants to eat the whole world instead
Heh, the real game is always better than /v/ theories

>>715655873
based

>>715659050
Its ok he turns into him during the final fight

>>715658786
I think they could do a lot with Ridley. In my head canon, he is the last surviving race of a bioweapon species made by the Chozo that was deployed onto enemy planets to waste shit (like a xenomorph). The stasis tube he was in survives for centuries until space pirates discover it, a former enemy species that the Chozo took over the homeworld of and forced them to become wandering space nomads/gypsies. They revere Ridley like a deity due to their species memory of his race as destroyers, and he uses his intellect to take them over as a general and begins coordinating more precision raids on Federation targets. Make a whole ass prequel game where you play as Ridley and you get scenes like the attack on the space colony where you personally kill Samus's parents.

Does the game elaborate on K rool being trapped undeground or is that just meta commentary of him being gone for so long

>K. Rool just wants to eat rotten bananas
>just wants to turn everything into rotten mush
......wut

>>715659147
>clone

>secret brother
Take your pick, he'll be in MP4

>Final Boss gets fatter the more you fight him
Alright. Im horny.

>>715658361
Bowser canonically has a mother in Mario's Time Machine Deluxe. He fucked his mom and she gave birth to Junior, which is why he has downs syndrome.

>>715659372
All we know is he and the Kremlings were trying to get the Banandium Root first and got stuck.

>K. Rool starts Nurglemaxxing

>>715659372
I'd definitely say it is just meta-commentary.

>>715658786
I think it was a mistake - first by fans, than by devs - to make Ridley into Samus' version of Bowser or Ganondorf
it's fine to have recurring enemies but nobody should rise to the level of 'iconic', that's just not the type of series Metroid is. forcing it is lame and cheapens the encounters.

>>715659407
At this point I think he's driven entirely by spite towards the kongs.

>>715652749
>how dare you use this thing that 99.9999% of the world uses on a regular basis!

>>715658786
Ridley just needs to be an asshole, that's what he excels at. Despite never being the main threat or the guy in charge, he gets so much shit done personally that he's routinely THE guy fucking up Samus' day and has had so much more of a hands-on approach to making her life miserable.
>Kills both her parents
>Also kills her adoptive bird parents
>Kidnaps her jellyfish baby (twice)
>Refuses to stay dead and keeps coming back over and over like Jason to ruin Samus' day
It is possible to overuse Ridley, which is why it's wise they gave him a break in Dread, but Ridley serves his purpose just fine in just showing up out of nowhere exclusively to hurt Samus in a personal manner, call her a cunt, then fly away flipping her off forcing her to chase him down (again). Keep things petty and personal between them.

>>715657912
Not him but they could have at least put it like
>Surprise! Missed me, ape?
Speaking of, they should have at least explained how K.Rool and his krew got trapped.

So...Who did Cranky kidnap?

>>715642934
>>Kremlings do the iconic sound
Holy based

>>715659051
miyamoto doesn't like girls being evil, he rejected wapeach as well

>>715659664
If you are actively going to the places that spoilers will be shown on a hot new piece of media before you yourself get to play/watch/read it, then yes you fucked yourself.

>>715659821
Syrup should have always been WaPeach and im pretty sure that was the intention with her design.

>>715658960
From what I can tell, it's after the Rare DK games and before Odyssey. As to how to arcade fits in all this, no idea. Probably got retconned.

>>715658786
Metroid is light on story but unlike the Mario universe there is supposed to be a proper order to things. Ridley is already dead and dealt with. Like the other anon said trying to turn him into Metroid Bowser was a mistake from the beginning. There is no need to "do" anything with him.

>>715659689
isn't it heavily implied or even outright stated that the reason Ridley keeps coming back is less because of his skill and more because the Space Pirates have zero clue how to stop Samus so they keep going back to the one thing they know worked once?

I know he technically talks in the manga, but canonically in the video games he's on par with one of the smarter breeds of dog. Ridley could *maybe* pass the mirror test. once he's a mindless robot he can't even do that.

>>715659607
I am so sick and tired of Ganondfor I can't play Zelda games anymore.

>>715659339
>>715658786
Ridley just needs to speak in alien gibberish like Bowser and K rool do to start getting a little more character in there, but i agree, him being the leader of the space pirates wasn't very well planned out for the long run

>>715658665
cute

>>715649369
Toxotransmosis moment.

>smashfags unironically talking about resurrecting ridley for the bajillionth time
fuck off, dread commiting to keeping him dead was for the best

>>715660021
...you've got me there. Still, I'm just anxiously waiting for midnight.

Ridley is barely a character. He's a beast that can't even speak. Doesn't wear clothes. Have no ideals or goals beside killing Samus.

>>715660537
no it wasnt. the only good bosses in that game are the emmis

>>715658069
source?

>>715660336
I think the Space Pirates keep resurrecting Ridley mainly because he's their leader and without his leadership they know they're fucked. Mother Brain controlled the Space Pirates (including Ridley) but as an organization he was always their head.

Ridley I'm pretty sure is intelligent in the games too, he has a space-ship and is smart enough to navigate it but I think the only reason he roars all the time is because he doesn't have anything to say, he's just there to kill.

>>715660674
that's every enemy in metroid

>>715659821
Miyamoto rejected Wapeach/Priich due to her whole gimmick being based on the whole Doronjo/leaderess of the terrible trio archetype. Which to be honest, not only has been played out in many anime as of that age, But the Wa's should NOT have a boss (unless its bowser himself).

Probably he would have been ok with a female villain who is 100% her own thing, not tied as the boss of preexisting villains.

>>715660674
>Have no ideals or goals beside killing Samus.
What more do you need?

>>715660537
>He thinks Ridley won't be back
>He thinks Ridley actually died in Super Metroid

>>715660728
Diddy Kong Racing DS

>>715660778
And most enemies in Metroid are innocent fauna that act like the beasts the are.

>>715660810
I don't need anything, but don't call him a character when he's not. Ridley is like a rabid dog.

>>715660709
you mean the worst parts of the game?

>>715660537
Ridley can always come back in X form

>>715660909
bootleg chozos were the worst part

>>715660732
We have never seen Ridley leading, giving orders, or taking care of anyone. They keep reviving Ridley because he has to be the Ganondorf of Metroid.

>>715660998
isn't mother brain the ganon of metroid?

>really cool reveal spoiled by faggot leaker attention seeking
and we why all wonder why the hobby is so utterly joyless

>>715659372
also a good reason why he was ausent in Returns and Tropical Freeze

>>715660861
Nintendo owns the game they don't actually own the original characters like timber tiptup and wizpig.

>>715660674
Based on the franchise ripping off Alien, he could have been set-up as a xenomorph, but with actual sentience. He could work a recurring in the same way as a slasher villain that just keeps finding ways to come back. Hell, if they wanted, they could make up some BS about how his cells retain genetic memory, so even if he is killed, his cells keep his memories recorded into his DNA so that even a clone will share them, or an instinctual hatred of Samus either as a person, or just because she is wearing the armor of the Chozo.

>>715654053
clearly they aren't very loyal considering even his own brother hates him

>>715660537
Seriously, trying to turn him into a beyond the grave gay stalker like the compilation of ffvii did to Sephiroth sounds terrible, and plays off the worst aspects from Other M.
You don't play Metroid for the story but it's supposed to have a "serious" tone, not a cartoony one like Mario or DK, resurrecting the same guy again and again in increasingly contrived ways is just retarded, and if anything they already abused it too much.

>>715661070
Ridley appears more often, I think.

>>715660802
Priich has a fucking great design for a Mario RPG 2 OC party member. Make her the long lost little sister of Peach (her Luigi), that ended up taken in by a rogue splinter of the Turtle Tribe and she thinks she is a Koopaling that wields a big axe and starts off as a rival character.

>>715660996
you mean the boring boop beep boop robots that have the same fight like 5 times?

>>715661073
>recurring series' antagonist appears in a new iteration

The embargo for Nintendo games lifts the day before release, and that's when the Youtube shills do their "all bosses no damage" videos. Even if the game doesn't break street date, you'd still want to get the fuck out of here within launch week.

>>715661073
Why would you come to /v/ on the eve/week of a new games launch and not expect leaks?

Between the pedos lusting for a kid, the homos lusting for the ass of a monkey and the giga homos lusting for a fat crocodile we can confirm that Nintendo has the most mentally ill fanbase

>Cranky is a demented schizo
>DK hits his head, becomes an asshole
>Kidnaps Pauline twice

>>715661703
She should have been in this game dressed as adult Pauline.

>>715661753
He just growls. No voice.

>>715661167
Ridley's persistence in light of being in a more mature franchise is exactly what makes him so endearing
No one is surprised/impressed when Bowser/K. Rool keep coming back because they're always just defeated, Mario/DK never kill them
Samus does not pull her punches and successfully kills Ridley (or at least intends to kill him) every time they fight but in spite of this Ridley gets revived by Space Pirate science or genetic abominations and keeps coming back.
I will admit there should be a limit to how often to abuse this trope as Metroid does not have as much of a 'sandbox narrative' as Mario does - there is a clear and present timeline of events and there is a point of incredulity that may have already been crossed but I'm of the 'in for a penny in for a pound' outlook. Ridley has been revived so many times already, one or two more would be a drop in the bucket.

>>715659051

>>715661882
>No one is surprised/impressed when Bowser/K. Rool keep coming back
Same with Ridley

>because they're always just defeated, Mario/DK never kill them

In practice is the same shit.

>>715660537
I agree, I was getting tired of seeing his purple ass paraded every game, it got tiring. If they're going to bring him back one last time, do it in a Super Metroid remake completing the trilogy.

>>715661882
He is fine if you just consider him the closet thing Nintendo has to a Jason or Freddy Kreuger. The series is serious, but its still pop sci-fi and they will attempt to give some kind of rational reason why Ridley is back, just like an iconic slasher villain. That being said, i am also fine with them not relying on him, but i just dont think they need to actively avoid it because of plot.

>>715661753

>>715647624
>>715654379
>>715655216

>>715661753
He speaks in full english at the start of DK64

>>715661753
I'm surprised anons keep bringing up DKC3 when 64 is probably an even better example. There's also the cartoon, the Paon games, and surprisingly Mario Super Sluggers if you want to go even further.

>>715662108
Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to them bringing him back one last time as a proper sendoff since his last appearances were kinda shit, but I don't think keeping him around permanently will ever work, it just makes the games feel rote

>>715642934
>>Remixes of his various themes

Crocodile Cacophony too? And Castle Climb?

>>715643047
People keep saying this but this game only uses the few enemies in the Paon games Default Kritter, a variant of Klobber, maybe Klaptrap while the rest are the random birds, bees and rodents.
