Thread 715752882

Remember when Rare was going to give all the characters from Diddy Kong Racing their own games? Only Diddy, Banjo, and Conker ever got theirs before the Microsoft buyout. What a damn shame.

These look like the most bland, uninteresting characters I have ever seen in my life. It's a good thing that they did not get their own games. Seriously it was always an awful idea.

>>715752882 (OP)
No I don't believe this ever happened. Seems to be a fanciful lie from desperate and gameless n64 fans.

i don't expect the tranime tard to have any real thoughts, or even a soul, so it makes sense you think that

>>715752882 (OP)
and this is for the ds version

>>715752882 (OP)
No, that was never the plan
Just pay attention to how Conker and Banjo are treated differently in the game's story BECAUSE they actually had games in development
They were thrown in the roster not made planned to be there from the start
Closest would be Pipsy originally being a male mouse that had their own game

>>715752882 (OP)
Nobody would give a fuck about any of these goobers though. What kind of games would they even star in?
You can't have that many cutesy 3D platformers. People were already experiencing fatigue when Conker's Twelve Tales came around.

Why are you trying to convince people that they're troons for posting anime on an anime website? You are a groomer.

Banjo-Kazooie and Twelve Tales: Conker 64 were in development BEFORE Diddy Kong Racing was even a thing

>>715753350
>when Conker's Twelve Tales came around.
It never did
Its reveal at conferences saw people write it off which led to Rare drastically changing it

>>715753428
Yes, exactly. People thought that shit looked boring.

>>715753275
Pipsy was supposed to have a game at some point, at least

>>715753357

non sequitur

Tourist spotted.

>>715752882 (OP)
only fags liked diddy kong racing

>>715753357
And you need to kill yourself immediately, or go back to your containment board, tranime fucker

>>715753512
go back to your containment server, clanker

>Timburr was gonna be the mascot of the game before Diddy took his spot
>Tiptup became a Banjo character
>Krunch is just a kritter with a name, and inspired the design for the kritters in DK64

It’s possible they were all meant to get games or at least cameos like Tiptup, but I doubt it.

>>715753023
>t. 500 examples of picrel

>>715752882 (OP)
Krunch is just one example of a DKC enemy made into an individual character.
Timber was the OG main character of DKR (Pro-AM) before it was turned into a DK game, and it's even still his island. Would've probably just remained a central character alongside the Dongs, Taj and T.T. had it continued.
Tiptup was immediately made into a recurring minor Banjo character.

Putting Banjo and Conker aside that leaves Pipsy (who indeed had Astro Mouse before it got shitcanned, also originally about a male mouse), Drumstick (wiki ties him heavily to Timber's island, probably would've remained DKR-specific), and Bumper (no idea, jokingly in jail).

>>715752882 (OP)
Rare was out of their minds if they thought they could ride the cereal mascot platformer fad for 8 fucking games

>>715753357
>reddit website
sure is summer in here

>>715755713
It worked out. The fad continued into the PS2 era.

>>715755713
Pipsy's the only one who had a game concept that got shelved, everyone else that didn't have their own or in-development at the time was tied to either DKR itself or DK. Bumper's the only odd one out, but given his name he was probably just a racer too.

People make it out that Rare made dozens of mascot collect-a-thon platformers for the N64
They made three and only one of them still universally seen as excellent

Reminder that rare said bumper was in jail and regrets all

>>715756758
>dozens of mascot collect-a-thon platformers
>platformers
That's the incorrect part, they were nearly half of Nintendo's workload period for the N64, and are equally known for making console FPS's popular before Xbox Live took over. Also I guess there's SF Adventures for collectathons if we're counting Gamecube.

>>715757015
Rare fucking carried the N64 and they didn't deserve to be thrown to the side of the road when Nintendo was finished with them

>>715753197
this version was so good. love the battle mode.

>>715752882 (OP)
I was excited for the Conker game before they turned it into dumb South Park shit. Stupid fucking morons.

>>715759297
the only thing i remember being dumb was the touch screen to do the boost at the start of a race

>>715753197
Dixie looks weird

>>715752882 (OP)
better open world than mario kart world. just think about that.

>>715753197
Yikes.

>>715759397
Here I thought I was the only who vastly preferred pre-edgy Conker. BFD should've just used an original non-DKR character instead of shitcanning an almost complete game.
