why did they make him look like a rapist when he's just doing fun things? the entire game is a rare dk loveletter but for some reason they did this to dk

This is a younger, more fun-loving DK.

>fun loving
that's why I'm asking why the rapeface. and how is he younger when the others are the same age?

>>716052514
That's a "I iz best I outcompete wypipo" face though

shhh just let it happen anon

I'd be more curious why it looks like a PS3 game.

For every why question regarding Nintendo the universal answer is: Because tendies buy it anyway

>>716052432 (OP)
because of the ugly movie

>>716052594
I dont know. I dont think about canon when it comes to Nintendo stuff.

Can you imagine Raven Simone vs Donkey Kong in the next Smash bros?

Reality: Nintendo games are for girls today so had to add a human girl and give Donkey Kong a gayer design and retarded expressions

Every single one of their games today is somehow even more for women than Final Fantasy

The contrast with Diddy and Dixie just having wholesome fun is hilarious.

Wholesome DK is dead

Eric, why do you lie?

Miyamoto literally confirmed that he is the reason why they changed him so drastically

Is the Switch 2 era going to be where the torch is passed to younger staff or will we have to wait for another decade?

He doesn't look like a monkey any more.
He looks like a human Pixar character who was turned into a gorilla but they had to keep him instantly recognizable as the same character.

>>716053042
actually they redesigned him for bananza first, and the film used the design

>>716054246
The younger staff have held the torch since the GCN era. Miyamoto hasn't directed a game since Super Mario 64.

>>716058463
I was shocked when none of the old timers were present in the April direct.

>>716053042
The film smartly spaces the eyes apart further, greatly improving the design.
