Another Nintendo game ruined by being braindead easy and catered to small children.

I miss NES-Gamecube era Nintendo

What else did you expect from a Nintendo game?

So how easy is it actually? The same difficulty from start to the end?

It's incredible how it took Game Freak 20 years to reach single digit fps on the environment, meanwhile it took the Mario Odyssey team about 5. Can we just go back to 2D games already?

Post-game content is a better level of 'challenge' in general but that should've been the baseline for the entire gsme. Admittedly some of the Challenge and Bonus areas had their moments but nothing as tough as the final bits of Galaxy 1+2 or 3D World.

It's a good children's exploration/adventure game with alot of soul and tight mechanics.

It's a bad DK game and a bad platformer for people who want to play at anything other than babby difficulty.

Not worth $70 for an adult, but it's still a fun time. I would have easily gotten lost in pointlessly smashing every area autistically as a kid.

You already made multiple posts seething about the game, just like you make about EVERY nintendo game. Just forget about Nintendo games and leave actual fans who enjoy the games alone.

The problem with Nintendo is that their games are made for ALL AGES but to them, all ages means "90-95% of the game is made for toddlers, 5-10% is made for older teens."
Every Nintendo game since the Wii has basically been like this. The game is piss easy minus one or two random stages/optional collectibles, then it introduces a post game that actually is somewhat challenging followed by a final level that is hard. It is a terrible difficulty curve.
I like DK Bananaza and I think it is fun, but while people are joking about it being 6 hours long, if you're doing optional content and challenges it actually starts to feel TOO long because the game is so easy that you're falling asleep until layer like 1200 or something, and even then it isn't hard but at least the enemies do a decent amount of damage if you happen to make a mistake. Bosses are still mostly just transform and hit them for 30 seconds and they die until you get to Void.

>>715887273
What's this supposed to be showing off? Throwing things? The game teaches you that.

>>715887338
cancelling a surf midair and throwing on the way down with gyro controls
if you don't play video games you wouldn't understand

>>715882083 (OP)
the base game is easy, but the base game for all games is easy. challenge runs are the only way to actually make any game challenging, or comparing yourself against others in some way, whether it's direct pvp or timetrial/speedruns etc.

anyone complaining about base game difficulty is probably outing themselves as the kind of person that has difficulty completing other games

>>715887170
That post doesn't even make sense. The game is filled with the challenge ruins and has more set pieces than Odyssey. I do think that they really put too many bananas in a spot where you can just smash through the ground to find them. I swear, a lot of them are
>Get Banana
>"FOLLOW THE CRYSTAL VEINS!"
>I just used sonar and smashed downwards to find it
Still though, between the level objectives + ruin challenges everywhere it is weird to say the game is just smashing because it objectively is not.
I also think the team fucked up by not requiring switching forms until later layers. I understand them wanting to teach the player, but it is like: "Oh, you got the ostrich power. Everything in this stage is based around that even though we know you have the Kong power too" You only have to swap later on, which makes it more fun.

Just did this boss and I actually thought it was fun as fuck because it took advantage of the mobility of DK and the destructible environment. It's just a shame the framerate goes to shit. They should have used less detailed voxels or something for this fight.

>>715887706
You don’t find doing the exact same thing for no reason perpetually boring? What could it possibly take for you to open your eyes and see how bad the graphics in this game are? How boring the gameplay is? How completely devoid of reward the entire playthrough is?

What is making you play this versus something like Stellar Blade, which you clearly do not have a machine capable of running?

>>715888497

>>715882892
Still about halfway through the game. What does post game add exactly?

>>715882083 (OP)

>>715883985
I think the difficulty is okay if you go out of way to do self-imposed challenges, like no helper items or bananza mode unless necessary. But I'm not a fan of arbitrary restriction that are hard to do consistently.

>>715888751
I think PC is better for people interested in 3D platformers. I played these 2 demos recently and they were better than anything nintendo made in the last 20 years.
https://youtu.be/VsIv2TE3CfA
https://youtu.be/psBvWkSHg7k
The latter demo is a standalone game that even has more content than Bananza, apparently, despite being free, and has 100x better movement and level design with all sorts of player freedom and non-linear ways to approach things.

>>715882083 (OP)
i'm 3 hours in and i've only died once so far by sliding off the edge
i failed a few things during challenge rooms though
overall it's pretty easy so far yeah
still having fun smashing and exploring stuff

>>715887273
I can't tell if the Nintendies are actually little kids having fun with this or if they are adults pretending to have fun with it to defend Nintendo.

What do you guys think?

>>715885150
All 5 DKC games vary from really hard to pretty challenging by today's standards, retard. Tropical Freeze was filtering game journos, to the point they added Funky mode in the Switch port.

>>715888497

>>715889108
I think the latter only applies to people saying this is GotY or that it's better than Odyssey.

>>715887273
Why does this game look like Splatoon and not Donkey Kong?

>>715888078
Thing is at it's core it's completely different. In Banjo Nuts & Bolts you have to go into a garage and build the vehicles bit by bit. Don't do that? You can't play the game because you can't do anything BUT the Vehicles. (which is just races/challenges for jiggies).
TotK's building is done in the world itself, and it's just one of many tools you're able to use.

>>715887273
such an ugly game

>>715889078
It gets more chaotic in the second half because of environmental hazards like lava, hot gold, and banana mush.

>>715889051
there is literally no other game like banananza
the trailer for the first game literally plasters the words of the games it's ripping off right in the middle of the screen

>>715887170
The game is pure platforming and action if you only do the main story and challenge sections. Bananas are not tied to progression, they're only for upgrades. For a platformer the main story is pretty lengthy, at least double of Odyssey. Redditor and you are retards.

>>715887398

I can run whatever game I want, lol. I don't know what kind of NDS you have but the game is fun. Nintendo comes out with a new 3D platformer like twice a console generation. I fully admitted the faults of the game, but it is just wrong to say it is only smashing when every level has like 10 challenge ruins that are basically set platforming/puzzle sections.

Yeah, the performance is pretty bad though. I mean literally in the void kong fight it goes down to like 15 FPS and there are frame drops in other parts of the game too.

Old games were only hard so that you couldn't beat them in a single rental. It forced you to buy the game if you wanted to beat the game.
Now that we're all buying our games they can focus on making them over rage-inducingly difficult.
I don't understand how people sing praise over NES difficulty when those same people never beat the games as a kid, and when they finally returned as an adult to beat them they would lose their shit countless times over the playthrough.
We're old, anon. We have blood pressure & heart problems. Bringing back the dumb as shit NES difficulty would unironically kill a not insignificant percentage of us

The game definitely had me frustrated at how simple it was up to sl600, but started to pick up from there. After that the game is much more restrictive about what you can smash through and requiring specific mechanics to navigate. At sl1200 and have come back around on the game, shame that it wastes its first half getting to that point.

>>715891123

>It has a [collectable detection] button
okay? Why is a collectable clean-up mechanic, with collectables being hidden in terrain, a bad thing?
I just don't get what your summation is implying, all open world games are the same despite that not being true at all? Just Cause and Far Cry might be open world shooters, but how they control and what they talk about are completely different.

Posted it in the another thread, but. It's okay, but the music isn't Donkey Kong like at all since this isn't the great music like David Wise or Grant Kirkhope made for the series. With it being a 3D platformer there's only DK64 to compare it to in the same series. Though as a DK game, I think Tropical Freeze is still better, excluding the boss fights.

>>715891306

Anon, what's wrong with your memory? NES-SNES Nintendo was difficult, but two major contributing factors to the difficulty back then were (1) you being inexperienced with video games and working things out for the first time, and (2) a lack of modern gaming sensibilities.

N64 and GC-era Nintendo was also braindead easy. Miyamoto has categorically stated that he thinks gamers dislike difficult games. Nintendo's games have started to become slightly more difficult and challenging again since younger developers and staff at Nintendo have taken the reigns.

This is so fucking weird that this same conversation comes up again and again.

Yes, we know that BotW and TotK are not challenging games...

... but they are still much more difficult than old 3D Zelda games.

OOT is easy.
MM is easy.
WW is easy.
TP is easy.
SS is easy, but some people struggled with the controls.

What is it with you faggots and rewriting history?

>>715882083 (OP)
I just they could put SOME KIND of fucking challenge in these games. Even the Kirby team is willing to tuck some tougher sequences away. The guys at EPD8 are geniuses who make games that play as perfectly as you might imagine, and clearly understand how to make rewarding challenges, but they just never go one step further.

It's not laziness, it's policy. I think they genuinely believe that young players would be turned off by the very existence of harder challenges in the game, even if they're optional. Just knowing they aren't the best is enough to deter them from playing, at least from Nintendo's perspective.

>>715892904
yes
you can get better at odyssey, and thanks to capture system you can apply that improvement in a large portion of the game too- most things in the game can be done without captures, captures just make them easy enough for a naive player, so you can go with the capture-less route to challenge yourself
dk has none of that

>>715893518
>N64 textures are highly detailed
lmao
>b-but... NU game
don't care, your argument is dumb

>>715892536
DKC was absolutely willing to challenge players. I will agree that DKC2 has a ridiculous save system that had no place even in a video game of its era, as action platformers like Castlevania already understood how level progression and lives systems should work even back in 1986. Mario 3 is another good example because it has an obvious goal of keeping things pretty easy but is actually willing to threaten a player's progression through a level at rate Mario Wonder is terrified of ever doing.

N64 era is absolutely easy. However, the Gamecube era has instances of Mario being willing to frustrate, and do so intentionally outside of Sunshine's lack of polish. Galaxy and Galaxy 2 both have challenges more tucked away, but they're there.

Switch is maybe the first time a Zelda game was willing to show a little bite since SNES, but not after the first few hours. The Splatoon team is generally unafraid of those kinds of sequences. EPD 8 though has made their main campaigns wayyy too easy though. The fun little double dive jump trick from Odyssey doesn't have a single moon that encourages its use until after the credits roll, and the nature of the game means that interesting challenges can be hours apart as you meander from nothing moon to nothing moon.

>>715890462
no, like I said I'm not a fan of arbitrary self-imposed challenges. some games make it simple and easy to impose, this game isn't one of them.

holy mother of cherrypicking, did your gay discord make this picture for you?

>>715893079
Yeah, some rare enemies in OoT and MM could deal a large amount of damage in one attack, but those were telegraphed and easy to dodge AND you had many ways to recover health. So, it's basically the same as BotW's combat, only the enemies also generally had less health since there was no "slow motion bow" or "counter" mechanic for larger damage, so it was all balanced with generic single hits in mind.

WW and TP actually somehow had mostly -toned down- enemy damage compared to the previous 3d game even.

>>715883985
Yeah, I've been playing a lot of modern nintendo "the way you choose to solve it is the correct way" type of games.
Where Souls games are kind of hard but easier if you chose to use everything, nintendo games are piss easy unless you chose not to use some mechanics.

Like Zelda Echoes of power is a great game if you dont use every exploit the game hands out to you whilst screaming "use this to win'.

But, also the end game of most nintendo games are pretty fucking up there for raw difficulty.

>>715882083 (OP)
>that stupid fucking face
I despise this new zesty kong. He used to be strong and cool wtf happened

>>715889051
Most if not all of these games end up on switch tho.

As a enjoyer of indie 3d platformers(on deck) most lack a certain depth to the experience. Like Samy roll is hard, doesnt take its time to build up to it and then ends before you really came to terms with it.
Indie platformers are cool, but they almost never feel like a complete experience like nintendo platformers are.

Nintendo games have been too easy for 25 years. They dropped the difficulty angle after the N64.

>>715896041

>>715882386
Even DK64 had better mechanics and camerawork wtf

>>715896124
Yes, they marketed OOT on its difficulty.

It's a mix of all 3 which is why it is confusing.

>>715882083 (OP)
>catered to small children
At this point, as a fucking adult, you should have already realized what parts of this game are made to lure children in (like the artstyle, the gameplay, etc.) and what parts are made to lure the nostalgiafags in (K.Rool, the Kremling sound effects, the franchise itself, etc.)
They don't need too much to make 30yo men who grew up with some games let go of their money. Just look at the amount of remakes and remaster we've had lately. Most of them casualized for that same reason: to engage with both audiences
TLDR; you're not the only demographic

>>715896041
Arcade had lots of actually difficult games
NES had some difficult games
SNES was already casualized
i think easy games are fine but some genres aren't the same without challenge. platformers are one of those genres, the main campaign can be easy, it is a game for little kids after all.
but you need something spicy in the game somewhere, side content, post game, optional difficulty modes, loops, etc.

Nintendo actually needs a solid release to justify the switch 2 pricetag, so this is getting massively overhyped.

>>715882386
Exactly. The Switch 2 is a flop so the game is bombing, but even if this game was on the Switch 1 I doubt it would be selling that well.

>>715897486
Nothing will sell the Switch 2 like Switch 1. Nothing. There will never be a console as successful as the Switch 1 again and its entirely thanks to the scamdemic. Normalfags who never would've bought a console bought a Switch because they were stuck inside their houses and were bored. The heights the Switch (and other consoles) reached in 2020-2023 will never be seen again.
Problem is, as required by law, these companies have to ensure infinite growth of profits.

>>715897632
What if Nintendo manufactures another "scamdemic"?

>>715882083 (OP)
Nintendo games are all made for small children. You people should not still be buying and playing these games unless you are a parent spending time with your kid. I truly don't understand why the Nintendo cultists have not figured this out yet, you are not the audience and you need to be ashamed for clinging to this company at your age.

>>715896761
>>only thing noting 'difficulty' is "have what it takes"
Yes, that is literally the only thing the ad is communicating.

>>715897632
switch 2 is already selling faster lol

>>715897784
Covid turned out to be a complete scam and even normalfags are aware of it now. If the world's governments try that shit again in the next 50-100 years, there will be a reckoning so large that it will wipe out all humanity or at least send the world back to the stone age.

>>715897895
It'll have no legs. The Switch 1 came after the failure of the Wii U. It didn't hit its stride until 2020, but just like how the Wii was a massive success, the Switch being a massive success does not automatically guarantee the Switch 2 will be. If anything, it's very likely most people will say "Why do I need a Switch 2? I already have a Switch!"

>>715882083 (OP)
I like it. It's the first DK game where DK actually feels like a force of nature instead of a pussy who dies from a single touch by a crocodile.

That said I am not at the end game yet but I fully expect some hard challenges like grandmaster galaxy.

The director has revealed that the Switch 2's hardware can't handle the game. That's why it has a slowdown effect when you smash things to mask that they needed to give the processor room to breathe when the FPS plumments.

Dude, the audience for all Nintendo games is 4-10 years old. Buy a PC or a Playstation like an adult and move on with your life, these games are not for you and never will be. It was the same in the 90's and 00's, Nintendo has never been aimed at adults. Just because you failed and refused to grow up does not change this. No better than the faggots who buy LEGO or Star Wars/Marvel/Jurassic World/etc toys to """collect""" and ruin it for families just trying to buy their kid a toy.

>>715882083 (OP)
Wait until you realize all games are easy, because they're meant to be finished, retard. NES games were made to be brutally difficult so you couldn't beat them in an hour to make sure games were to be bought instead of rented.

If it’s just for children why do they put DKC throwback levels in the game? Are kids familiar with SNES games? Plus the vast majority of kids don’t play traditional games anymore, they play “platform” games like Roblox and Fortnite. It’s a game made for “all ages” technically but most people playing are adults in the range of 20-50.

I'll be having sex with my gf later. And once I've fucked her into a coma, I'm going back downstairs to play more of Nintendo's latest masterpiece. Please keep seething and shitting yourself.

>>715899457
So it’s not just a kids game then right? It’s a game for all ages. It’s meant to be an introduction to the series for children who aren’t familiar with Donkey Kong and it’s also supposed to be a game for adult Donkey Kong fans that have been playing DK games for decades

challenge is fun tho
nintendo has lessened the difficulty of games in a lot of ways as the industry has progressed and become polished
but even then the boss battles here are pretty bad

they could've made them a bit tougher

>>715893079
Glad someone else noticed it too. 3D Zelda games were never hard, only the 2D ones were so watching OoT babies act like they did something hard is insane to me. Alttp wasn't a super hard game but it was still 10x harder than OoT. Hell BotW and TotK still have points in the early game where enemies can legit kill you in 1-2 hits. They were much harder than the other 3D games just by that merit alone.

>>715894779

WWHD with hero mode its very possible to die if you just make mistakes. No way to recover hearts unless you had a potion with you

Please do not pretend that SNES-Gamecube games are as hard as NES games.
I was 5 when DKC came out. I remember in Sears they had a kiosk and kids had trouble with the 2nd level. I remember finally beating the game once i bought it, same for 100% DKC2-3. But once i was a teen and going back into the game, i had no issue beating the game in a single sitting without relying on harvesting balloon lives. DKC was fluid and ultimately pretty easy. Same goes for most of Nintemdos first party IPs. It sure as shit wasn't Battletoads. Super Punch Out was a walk in the park compared to Punch Out (literally telling you ingame to get Nintendo Power to help you), SMW and Metroid was piss easy compared to Metroid and SMB (let alone to LL). LoZ was esoteric as fuck and LttP was far easier then it ever was.
Then you had the N64. The only difficulty about N64 games is the unintentional trial and error of emerging 3D gaming. The ultimate enemy of Mario 64 was the camera. Meanwhile with GC, Sunshines "difficulty" stemmed from them rushing it out to store shelves without polishing it because the console wasnt selling all that well in 2002.
OP, you're not the target demographic. In the same way a 30 something wasnt in the 80s-00s.

>>715899627
3d zeldas are a lot more about general exploration than difficulty
most of the challenge lies in the dungeons, or overworld bonuses, versus execution since combat and movement are largely simple tests in both strategy and pressing buttons

they're designed as big storybook environments to enjoy exploring in until you find a dungeon where the game shifts into solving puzzles
the gameplay content is shared pretty evenly between exploring, enjoying the conduits for the challenge, and problem solving, with the challenge of the dungeons themselves

>>715900734
Prove you own it, snoyric.
And bananza too ;)

>>715900550
It’s designed for both. Kids can beat it but there are advanced platforming mechanics/controls that older audiences will be using

Kids are prone to be scared of things for absolutely no reason. I was creeped out by a lot of things, especially early 3d models. Hell i remember being scared of that Mario 64 eel, but also unphssed by the zombies in Zelda OoT. Why? I dont know, might be because underwater environments naturally scare some people in various ways. However was the game over in DKC that scared kids the intent of fully grown developers at Rare? Fuck no. In same way clowns arent meant to be scary, but some kids are frightened by them.

It’s not hard to progress at all in Bananza, but it doesn’t make it less fun to me. I do think that Astro Bot struck a better balance because it has those button themed stages which were optional but severely increased the challenge. Still though, I don’t mind a brain dead difficulty once in a while as a palette cleanser. The only thing I don’t like is the “Oh, banana” sound every ten minutes.

I just don't understand why they double buffer the vsync. i'd rather it drop to 45-55fps than shoot down to 30

nintendo games have basically always been pretty easy anon, even in the NES era Mario was alot easier than say, Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden

>>715903000
I feel like this game has a more natural and gradual difficulty increase than odyssey. In Odyssey, after the Jurassic Kingdom, the difficulty was very consistent until the post-game. The inside of the Pyramid was around the same level as stuff in the Bowser and Moon Kingdom. In Bananza, it starts off really easy and then gradually gets a bit harder with the challenge levels. It’s still not hard at all but there’s more engaging levels and you start taking more damage as you progress.

>>715882083 (OP)
>ugh why are these games that are made for kids so easy?!!

This might be the most patronizing game I've ever played in my entire life. It feels like the developers were unironically moritified at the prospect of having anyone ever get lost. I am so fucking tired of how handholdy these games are and how seemingly nobody has a problem with having their intelligence constantly insulted with no option to just turn that shit off. What are we doing as a species? We make art and then dictate how people should consume said art to the point you can't even engage because you're too busy clicking through expository text boxes and actively pursuing waypoint objectives you didn't even set yourself. Is the average person just an actual flesh golem?

All Nintendo characters do

These threads are so try hard, a great game comes out and you people do nothing but shitpost about it.

Is this what you wake up to everyday? The need to shit on things endlessly?

Go back to 2D sprite Pokémon games?

And made a Beach Level with Giant Fruits

Anyone here tried out DK Artist?

I love it when developers just add fun shit without a need to play it and just let people have fun and go wild. This is what we call havin imagination.

>>715897486
Fuck the overhyped Mario Kart, DK Bananza is the TRUE Switch 2 Launch Game, how much you guys wanna bet that if 8 Deluxe didn’t do almost 70 million would Nintendo have chosen MKW as the first game for NS2?

This WEBM being spammed everywhere is WAY MORE FORCED

>The fanfic of "K. Rool is waiting at the planet core, and the real final battle takes place in New Donk" is the actual ending of the game

It's like we're all spiritually connected somehow.

Does it get any harder? I beat the stomping boss on layer 300 in 30 seconds

>>715907865
slightly

>>715907865
A little bit. The bosses aren’t two cycles after that one you just beat at least. Goes from like a 1/10 in difficulty to like… a 3/10, I don’t know. It’s still easy.
