There's not going to be another Rare Donkey Kong game.

Who cares? That one is already better than Nintendo Donkey Kong games.

It's ok, anon. You're just in your honeymoon phase with bananza. After this phase passes you will realize the game is actually low iq mind numbing garbage designed for retards

>>717119092

But enough about DK64

Bananza mogs

Why did they make him look feathery in DK Bananza but not MK World?

You don't actually like the game, you just like loli pauline

recency bias vs nostalgia blinders, whos in the right? It's easy to side with recency bias because nostalgiafagging is by and large the norm on here.

>every old game is good and non-woke, everything new is woke
>ignore how hl2 has a biracial young adult woman freedom fighter revolutionary as the "real" main character it was made when i was young so its non-woke

You thoar is wrong. I have all the throar. Your throar is false. You have none. You have already met your pitiful throar.

>>717119489
Playing the game as an adult and judging my new experience with the game cancels out the nostalgia goggles. It is objectively a better game than bananza. Its puzzles and challenges makes you think more and are more engaging. Bananza is just retard button mashing through rocks to an objectively worse soundtrack.

>>717119767
while I'm a big fan of bananza and have yet to play DK64 myself, the jab about the OST is really intruiging cuz I consider bananza's soundtrack really spectacular. Any DK64 tracks you'd recommend to pill someone on it? Besides the dk rap of course

>>717119489
>Nostalgia blinder
>Nu game is full of 'member berries nostalgia bait
Mucho insecure projection.

>>717120092
Obviously theres a lot of nostalgia ingrained in Bananza but it's not as if it does nothing new. The nostalgia in it all felt pretty well earned and not excessive. I mean besides fossils, minecarts and 2D sections what is really so member berries about bananza?

The fact that King K Rool is in it? The fact that some of the other kongs are in it? Some of the costumes being references? This type of shit has been a part of the 3d games since Mario 64. The first time you see yoshi and are like "omg!!!! its yoshi from mario world omg i member!!!" 93% of bananza at least is interacting with generally new characters/areas/abilities/gameplay mechanics unique to it

>>717116754 (OP)
Feels good being a Chad that loves both games

>>717116754 (OP)
WHY is nu-DK making that face? Cross-eyed, staring at the ground, with his tongue out. Did he have a lobotomy?

How would people have rated Bananza if the game ended after beating Void Kong?

>>717121123
He's got his eye on the prize. It's a Golden Banana, you twit.

>>717120610
You sound easily amused if not gullible thinking Nintendo genuinely cares about this IP after it's been dead for, what, 10 years?
If I were a DKfag I'd be downright offended having dangling K. Rool, the other protag kongs (who aren't playable btw) with a childish "le wholesome" story that's arguably forced.
The game treats the audience like a child, what with all the flashy colors, constantly dancing with literal gibberish for song lyrics, baby-tier challenge you might as come right out and admit you're a seal clapping manbaby.
*Jingles keys*
Bet that impressed you.

>>717121572
I'd rate it an 8. The final areas elevate it to a 9. DK64 currently sits at a 7 with the mod that allows switching anywhere, and a 6 without. And since it's built off a randomizer, that mod has its own issues that I can't seem to fix. The unlockable Kongs have to retread previous levels in order to get their upgrades, even without the randomizer aspects. Get Chunky? Go back to Jungle Japes and Angry Aztec because he won't be able to use his gun or his instrument if you don't. I don't recall that ever being a problem in the original.

>Its puzzles and challenges makes you think more
Name one single thought provoking puzzle or challenge in dk64. Because my memory of it, is getting in a barrel and standing on or slamming a pad/switch

>>717119767
>It is objectively a better game than bananza
no one actually believes this

my bad for tryna have real game discussion on /v/ my friend, keep baiting by all means i genuinely shoulda known better

>>717116754 (OP)
no

>baby-tier challenge
Meanwhile every goddamn "puzzle" in DK64 is a "wait a minute that card" thing where the answer is literally spelled out to you in that very room. Simian Slam the numbered switches in ascending order. Chimpy Charge the numbered switches in the order on the door. Memory game with no penalty or time limit. Go back and select this Kong and press the button. The only difficult parts would be the DK arcade game, which the randomizer mod makes easier, and some of the Bonus Stages that were very obviously not tested. There is no penalty for dying in DK64, period. Enemies do not pose a threat at all if you can play an instrument and clear the entire room, and when you can't do that which is either underwater or in the arena challenges, you can easily avoid everything and win. If Bananza is bad, then DK64 is abysmal.

DK is meant to be 2D. The next logical step is a Metroidvania dong

How are developers of 2025 failing to meet the same degree of quality as 1999

Bananza came out in 2025

>>717122958
because they dont want to make a shit game?

>>717119767
post your save file with at least 777 bananas then, since it's so easy I am sure you collected all of them?

I'm legit tempted to dig out my Nintendo 64 just to see if DK64 still holds up.

>>717119767
I have replayed DK64 around 8 times throughout my entire life. It's not a better game by any metric aside from subjective qualities like music or atmosphere. There are maybe 2 abilities across all the Kongs that you can firstly activate anywhere and secondly alter the way you explore the levels in ways that the other Kongs can't. Every other upgrade is a glorified way of pressing a color-coded switch with no applicable utility outside of those cases. Only Tiny and Lanky meaningfully explore the stages differently from the rest without limit, with Diddy's Rocket Barrel being an arguable one as its usage shits on every other Pad or Barrel upgrade. DK's upgrade letting him LITERALLY PULL A LEVER is just insultingly lame with no imagination. There are two Animal Buddies that you can only use in very small spaces and all they do is let you activate switches. Rambi's usage literally just breaks open huts and a rock wall so you can press switches. Dying has no penalty, at all; you just get sent back to the start of the area. Instruments are easily refillable to max and can clear rooms with impunity, and their only other use is activating switches with no reason why they wouldn't be Simian Slam switches. Battle Challenges are just stalling out the clock. Bonus Stages are 90% dogshit minigames that even the current playerbase avoids. The hardest part of the game isn't even DK64 itself, it's just Donkey Kong '81. Half the bosses just have you stall until they ALLOW you to throw a TNT Barrel at them, instead of having openings during their attacks like many DKC bosses. Nearly every puzzle is Simon Says bullshit where you press switches instead of having you use your abilities in new ways.

>>717122958
>DK64
>degree of quality
It's held together by duct tape and easily broken apart. Rare did not have a damn clue how to fix the game without the Expansion Pak.

>>717123494
I would say it does not hold up, but it's only surprisingly mediocre once the wow factor of the project scope wears off. Definitely not dogshit but it just has this novelty of being a really damn big game for the N64. Even the charm can't really save it once it's made apparent that the game's only big for the sake of being big, instead of doing anything actually fun with that size.

>>717120068
Take your pic man, Grant Kirkhope crushed it. On a recent playthrough I was struck by how catchy the Armory song was in particular - kind of a short loop but it's the bg music for an upgrade hut, so there you go

I've been playing the Tag Anywhere romhack lately and let me say... that is 100% how the game should be played today. We shouldn't even be discussing Vanilla.

It's hard to see it past the nostalgia, but at the end of the day I just miss fighting Kremlins and the game is worth the slight jank just for that

>>717117021
Tropical Freeze clears 64.

>>717122356
things.
There's many cute outfits for loli pauline too.

>>717125169
Its always Rare VS Nintendo, but why does no one mention the Retro Studios era?

>>717125169
dong freeze clears most things, its the finest 2d platformer ever made.

>>717121123
The game constantly has DK making ridiculous faces in hopes people make memes out of them.

>>717121123
the banana, you retard

im going to say it, dk64 is overhated and 99% of the people who parrot the hate havent played it or only play it with their mind already made up

>>717125382
>>717125169
Is the Switch version worth getting over Wii U?

>>717125984
havent played switch version but probably

>>717125984
Couldn't tell you, skipped the Switch gen because of the lack of WiiU support made me bitter.

>>717116754 (OP)
I can't be the only anon on this board that enjoys both DK64 and Bananza equally, when did it become a "this game is better than that game" competition?

>>717126527
a long time ago.
