the wish DK makes at the core of the planet will create a new world keeping the canon of donkey and the canon of mario as alternate realities
Mario Kart World would be perfect a for a trick mode where you combo tricks together around the track to get a score, just like Tour.
>>531094143Can we please stop talking about Mario Kart World?
>>531094143Don't stop talking about Mario kart world.
>>531094482I will talk about Mario Kart World.
>>531094886Why can't you guys make a Mario Kart general?
>>531094482>please stop talking about a Mario game in a Mario generalPlenty of different threads around, bro, you don't need to be here.
>>531094970dramafag split bait attempts again detected, ignore
The leaks are in:
>K Rool is not in the game, Cranky has a recurring gag describing a banana thief and chasing him but while the game leads you to believe it's K Rool, the banana hoard was never stolen at all and Cranky forgot that the cave the hoard is in was getting cleaned so it was moved elsewhere.
>Pauline is as the name suggests is Pauline. She's a young version of her not aged down. Pauline and DK have a tearful goodbye at the end of the game where DK brings her to the edge of New Donk. Like the end of the Jungle Book. The post game is set before this but after beating the final boss.
>The final boss is Void Kong after wishing to become big and strong because of how DK has been a pain for him.
>The Grandmaster Galaxy equivalent is inside of the planet's core.
>>531095652>K Rool is not in the gameOh no country secondaries don't look
>>531095652Wow this is so much worse than I imagined. K Rool didnt even get a reference, it was just Cranky suffering from dementia.
What are your guys thoughts on the hypthetical Pepito Kong thought experiment?
>>531095652That has to be a fake leak.
Pauline's Kong Bananza song is better than the main theme.
>>531095652The fact that I have genuine fear at the possibility of the Bananza writers being Chan shitposters shows you my current state of faith in society
Shareholder approval ratings for the Nintendo Board of Directors are in. Everyone retains a high approval similar to last year except for Chris Meledandri, who has a 75% approval rating down from last year's 94%.
Also there's going to be a DK movie.

>>531095652I don't believe you or we'd have seen something before you posted this
Just getting into gamedev, is Godot really so bad or is it mostly memeing?
>>531099646See that giant mushroom in the distance? You can climb it.

>>531101027I'd rather them than Suzanneschizo.
Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700 games in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)
Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."
Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.
>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025

>>531101167>i'd rather have off-topic posts than on-topic postsSeriously?
>>531101401All schizo posts are equally off topic.
>>531101520You realize that the S in /smbg/ stands for schizophrenia, right?
>>531101694No it doesn't, it stands for Super.
>>531099198Not smb related
>>531101694Mario isnt schizo. Luigi, on the other hand...
>>531095652Oh no! Anyway...
>>531099198Reminder that there isn't a DK island in the movieverse, just the jungle kingdom
>>531096956Not like it'd be a first for Cranky.
>>531102583Whatever works for the movieverse anyway. In the cartoonverse it was Kongo Bongo
>>531102831And shaped like a banana.
He's the leader of the bunch
>>531104971Tiny.. easy on the bananas
>>531106151not so tiny anymore
>>531106151So more like this then?
>>531101401Well if they're talking about devving Mario fangames I don't see why not
There's golf, tennis, baseball, soccer series...
There's been a basketball game... Probably some other sports I'm forgetting about too...
Why hasn't there been Mario Football or Mario Hockey?
>>531108373>Mario FootballIt's a sport only Burgers care for
>>531108373>Mario HockeyMario Sports Mix
>Mario FootballAmerican Football exists in Japan but its not that popular
woa
https://privatter.me/page/6873cb31ccd03
>>531108373We actually know why
>One of Retro's many canceled projects at the time was a Mario football game. While details about the game are scarce, it seems as though Nintendo wasn't satisfied with the project's development. Rather than having Retro continue work on the Mario football game, Nintendo wanted a more mature, realistic football game, something more in line with the Madden series.>From there, Retro scrapped development on Mario football and turned its focus to the more realistic, NFL Retro Football. The project actually looked pretty impressive compared to other football games of the time. Retro had the license to use actual NFL teams, the graphics and animations looked great for a GameCube title, and there was even rumored to be a create-a-player mode featured in the game. Ultimately, much like Mario football, NFL Retro Football was ultimately canceled, but for very good reason. Rather than spreading itself out thin, working on multiple games, Retro diverted all of its attention to the development of Metroid Prime.
>>531108751>Mario Sports MixThere, see. I completely forgot.
>>531108954Huh. That's very interesting. I know Prime turned out great, but why cancel another game that was also turning out great instead of just delaying one?
>>531108373>FootballIt's barely a thingoutside of america if you mean american football. If you mean soccer(everywhere other than usa call it football) then it is the most popular but I think not very popular in Japan or USA.
>HockeyI dont know but its in some other games
They should do a new baseball/cricket game, those are popular in japan, usa and europe.
Cancelled games are a fascinating thing. Who know how many weird Mario games actually got worked but never finished. I just learned about a DK Music game for NES through this channel, and Pauline was a singer there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OSlItvJCZc
Even if making her a singer since Odyssey was coincidence, it's a fascinating one.
>>531115057American site, American terms. He says both football and soccer, he obviously meant American football.
>>531095652extremely gay if true. DKC retconned and k-rool isn't even in the game? that sucks. I won't buy if this is true
>>531115754It's fake, bro. No one leaked the middle or ending of the game yet.
The Flying Krock just flew over my house!
>>531099870And probably not all at once too. Fake as shit
>>531095652Whether a real leak or not I have a feeling it'll turn out something like this.
Return to Krocodile Isle > Bananza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eggzBAzCZg
I hope Nintendo has a decent lineup of games coming up because I don't really see much justification to get the Switch 2 at the moment...
Reminder that all leaks are fake. The only two people with confirmed copies that aren't journos is one redditor that won't spoil and a chinese guy who also don't wanna spoil.
>>531120041I dismiss all leaks as fake, that way I cannot get spoiled
>>531120041What about this guy?
>>531120083Stop sexualizing her, she was 13 once!
>>531120825>Compras dentro del juego
>>531120083ranjeesh what u doing
>>531108373introducing mario cricket
>>531108373there's the cancelled volleyball one
>>531109286Because Retro Studios was an actual mess. The story, if true, leaves out all the most interesting parts of early Retro Studios.
The leader of the bunch, you know him well.
>>531108373we do, it's called mario strikers :v)
Could the Mushroom Kingdom survive being invaded by the BETA?
>>531125246The BETA from Muv-Luv Alternative, if I wasnโt clear enough
>>531125532What's this retard nerd shit?
>>531125703>Doesn't know Muv LuvWhat kind of newfag are you to 4chan?
>>>/v/715394852
mario karty before we lose our bananas
>>531125886been here since 2003, newfag
>>531125636Just a hypothetical discussion, will mushrooms and stars and power-ups work against sci-fi threats or will the BETA make some nice Chomps out of the Mario world
>>531125703>complaining about ned shitWhere do you think you are?
>>531125968More like 2023, newfag. Muv Luv is 4chan culture.
>>531126753oh it's faggot anime stuff no wonder
You're a newfag, you're a newfag, EVERYBODY'S A NEWFAG!
>>531125071lol no, the Mushroom Kingdom always jobs to all threats, i can easily picture Mario and Luigi just strolling around, then out of nowhere the whole place gets blown to smithereens and Mario just goes:
>what da fuckโฆThen again, Mario and Luigi would just end up saving the day anyways
>>531125071Luigi would get raped by tentacles.
Iโm telling you, the twist will be that โPaulineโ will have been King K. Rool in disguise all along
>>531121321Only once? Doesn't sound like an issue, then.
>it was actually fucking real
>>531132694365 times, to be exact.
>>531132435docks, profile, scene collection
what program is that?
>>531132694shut the fuck up retard we're discussing spoilers now
welp time to close this general until ive beaten the game
>>531133014OBS
It's a program for streaming.
Hey, fag, just link the stream already
>>531133559there is no stream
>>531132435that just looks like his smash model
>>531095652LMAOOO get fucked retard
>>531133559He's reposting from a /v/ thread. >>>/v/715393798 This one to be specific.
>>531133678I dunno about that
>the fossilized crocodiles were actually.. KREMLINGS?
wow who would have thought
>>531106329Tiny's asking for it...
>>531133803Why does the root look like his K.Rool's belly? That's what I want to know.
>>531134736because that is his belly, the banandium root was a ruse
I knew K. Rool's gold belly would have some connection to Bananza, lol. Would have been weird for Nintendo not to include him in some way.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9867923865?pn=1#
There's a discussion here following someone else who got the game early and is trying to get through it quickly to see the plot.
He's apparently not as far as the discord cabal, however.
That's the same card as
>>531124843
>>531134417I fucking love drawing that monkey. Glad I made a work safe-r version for a friend
Ah fuck
>>531135672 is meant for
>>531135338
>>531135338Took a peek, and here's a couple takeaways:
>Dying causes you to lose some ore, just like you lost some coins in Odyssey>He has been trying to go through the game so quickly that he is beginning to have trouble making progressSkill points may be more valuable than we thought, or he just simply sucks at vidya.
>>531132853That's exactly how many of my children she will bear.
>>531135672That's the squid game card dude
The /v/ thread just found proof they're real. This image from the Direct shows the banandium root here
>>531133803
Yeaaa, i'm afraid i'll be fence sitting for this one bros
Kremlings escaped the tomb.
group edge sesh to k rool
>Nintendo doesn't hate Rare
Wholesome ending.
>>531138526K rool confirned. De-aged pauline confirmed - no stupid retcons. Yep, its kino
>>531138526So is this fat fuck gonna be in MK World now?
DK and Pauline having one costume each is not coincidence
>>531139472yea the rallygator is based on him so it would be pretty weird for him not to show up. although we have the rob bike and rob isn't a character but I think that the case there is that rob was betrayed and turned into a bike
God damn I didn't expect it
>>531139198>De-aged pauline confirmedProof?
POST YFW "NINTENDO HATES RARE" DISCOURSE IS FINALLY OVER
Tanabe lost. K rool and the kremlings won.
leakfaggots kill yourselves spoiling retards
>>531142874Dude, even if THERE IS a rule for spoilers, when something, anything that you are interested is coming out and you don't want to be spoilered, you just don't go to 4chan. Even in different boards, nowhere is safe.
>>531142874i would agree with you but come on niggy, we told you that we would have leaks today
>>531143052There is a rule for spoilers. Here's /vg/'s version:
>Purposeful spoiling of a game's plot or other details may result in post deletion and temporary ban. Use spoiler tags where appropriate.
yay I'm so happy k rool is in the game
>>531133024So many emotions that you could choose to express, and you choose rage?
>>531143054yeah, posts that require spoiler tags you illiterate chimp like this one should be
>>531143378
>>531143264I know. That's why I wrote all caps. Because there is. Even so, one simply does not enter 4chan when he does not want to be spoilered. That's tje golden rule, because it will happen. Happned with me many times in the past.
>>531143467if you just read the words people are saying here it's pretty obvious if he's in or not just based on context clues even if they're not directly confirming it
>>531143712and those words should be spoiler tagged
i dont care if pauline is de-aged or mario and paulines daughter i just dont want them to do a dumb retcon to the arcade, jr and dkc games. k rool makes up for it a bit if they do do that though
>Geno is back
>K. Rool is back
>>531144339dumb pronoun poster
>>531144332"retcon" would suggest there's any kind of continuity that anyone gives a shit about
there is no such thing, nintendo devs don't give a single fuck about continuity or lore. it's all just whatever to them
>>531146283>"retcon" would suggest there's any kind of continuityThere are
>there is no such thing, nintendo devs don't give a single fuck about continuity or lore.They do.
But you can keep living in denial.
>>531146503You are. There are countless documents in Nintendo books and interviews with developers proving it. You just choose to not think about it because it's easier for you.
>>531146608I don't have a horse in this race bud, but you have fun with your delusions
Are you apologizing to EPD yet? Do you feel foolish for unironically believing he wouldn't be fucking in?
>>531146695For someone without a horse, you sure are putting a lot of effort into arguing with him.
>>531146783wasn't it obvious? Why would he be in smash but not the big marquee flagship
>>531146695fence-sitterbro...
>>531146823two 3 second posts is a lot of effort, for sure
>Prequelfags seething at Retconchads superiority
yep, same as always
>>531147297is it retconning if every game is disconnected from every other game? at some point you have to admit there's no continuity and devs are starting from a blank slate every time
>>531146283there is and has been since the arcade game. you are stupid and a lorelet
>>531147674except whenever they don't feel like giving a shit about lore, in which case it's immediately ignored at the drop of a hat
So now that it's confirmed that K. Rool isn't in the game how are RAREfags coping?
>>531147297I don't care if it's retcon or not, I just use irrefutable proof that there is care for lore and continuity in Nintendo games. If there wasn't, Miyamoto wouldn't need to clarify that "in the current storyline, Bowser only has one child" for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyN65AbLghI
>>531139472Koopa Troopa has more costumes than other more relevant characters.
>>531139472>>531139604we've been saying this for weeks and nobody wanted to accept it
>>531147840The care as long as it doesn't get in the way.
>>531147439there is continuity
>DK Jr. - Takes place after the original DK game and is about his son>DKC - DK Jr. has a son and goes missing, the original DK is now Cranky, DK's grandfather>DKC2 - Takes place after DKC1, dk is kidnapped by k rool as revenge for beating him in the first dkc game. Crocodile isle sinks into the sea.>DKC3 - also takes place after DKC2>DK64 - The kremlings create a new Crocodile Isle that is a shipThe wii games have barely any plot which is probably where you got this idea from, they have so little plot that there isn't any need for continuity since they are self-contained and could happen at any point.
>>531147840in the british version of the game, the koopalings are referred to as bowser's minions instead of his kids so that might just be a translation error in smb3.
>Make a development theory on why the enemies are hard surfaces and not organic
>See leaks
Alright, I'll happily eat my crow
>>531139472Maybe, maybe not. Patternfaggotry has proven to be unreliable, specially when it comes to Mario Kart(and Mario in general).
>>531148531DK3? DK94? MvsDK?
>>531149479all of them take place after their previous game. Dk Jr. is in 94 also

The screenshots are getting hit with copyright takedowns on Twitter. As if we didn't need any more proof they're legit.
>>531155019I wonder if we'll see Nintendo go full bloodthirsty like what they did with TotK. Probably not, considering Bananza isn't exactly a system seller nor their biggest game for the Switch 2.
>his moveset is smash based
holy mother of secondaries batman
>>531155658Game is coming out in three days.
>>531155731SmashGODS...i kneel
>>531155731Should have been expected, honestly. DK FINALLY got the Spinning Kong move in a proper DK game. These guys went through the entire franchise history to make this game.
I'm talking about K. Rool's description...
>>531155018They are kongs that got enslaved by voidco, fallen kongs were mind controlled by voidco's evil magic, and forbidden kongs are kongs that have been driven mad by banandium
Mario without his puffy cheeks
Please don't tell me you guys are as gullible as the summerfags on /v/ right now. All of these images scream fake to me and not any video either, no stream. This reeks of bullshit
>>531157083See you in four days.
>>531157083>$0.03 has been deposited into your Nintendo account.
>>531157083Based and skepticismpilled
>>531155731Inb4 it's shitty secondaries thinking his game inspired moveset in smash is a smash reference in a DK game, smashfags are dumb vultures like that.
>>531157415>>531157538Am I crazy? All of these images are coming from a super secret discord and they're all tiny ass resolutions of a model of K. Rool that looks near identical to his appearance in Smash. Images like that are extremely easy to doctor. No footage, no stream. No signs that this game is in the hands of many people at all.
And no I don't think a copyright strike legitimizes any of this. Nintendo has been extremely trigger happy these days and I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down anything that even resembles a leak, fake or not.
If these guys were forreal, all they would have to do is show a 3-5 second clip. But they can't even do that? So why is nobody asking why? Are people this gullible?
>>531157083>>531157760Why would Nintendo strike fake images? Lol
>>531157863>S-see? these images are based off things we've already seen so they MUST be real!is this the logic? because wouldn't that just mean they're easier to fake since there's already a visual to base them off of? I don't get schizo logic
>>531157760>near identical to his appearance in SmashHardly.
>>531157760>discord dwellers being attention whoresNews at 11
>>531158010>Hardlythat's a cope. There's nothing about his model that's even changed. This K. Rool just has an upgraded texture, but it still follows the same pattern as his ultimate model. It's not like it's more complex either, and Smash models are notoriously low poly to help with the game's performance. What we've seen in the leaks isn't anything special and it's hardly changed from Ultimate. It reeks of fake.
>>531157945I think you're nuts.
Mandateschizo meltie
Miyamoto won
>>531158029And the ultimate attention whore move is to make a fake leak, then gatekeep that information as if you're sitting on something really big but all it is is a hunk of donkey shit
>>531158204I think you're a sucker.
Rool
md5: 7b451145fa4457d6cf1f717d1e329ada
๐
>>531158121The arms alone are shaped completely differently. His manboobs have angles and meet in the middle instead of having a gap. His crazy eye is bulging out more. His claws are thicker and shorter. His nostrils are facing forward rather than being turned upward. You're insane or blind as a bat if you think this is the same model.
>>531158779And you realize fake renders like this have been made for all sorts of characters, especially leading up in Smash hype cycles? I've seen more impressive fakes from that era. What's going on here is just a slightly modified K. Rool Ultimate model. It would be extremely easy to do, and honestly most of the differences you listed out can be exagerrated just due to the change of camera angle. It's still really not that different, nor would it be difficult to cook something up like this in photoshop. That's the problem here.
>>531158779Hmm, they really did do a good job on that nose. Looks much more like a croc now.
>>531157760>copyright strikes don't mean anything because of something that never happened but couldLOL!
>>531158956First it was unchanged, now it's modified. Which is it? Would you like the move the goalposts further?
>>531158498>>531158616Big if true, maybe for the diddy kong race campaign?
>>531159030>implying Nintendo doesn't take down fan-made content all the fucking time
>>531158956Consider that your IQ might be too low to comprehend your surroundings.
>>531159117AM2R got taken down because the creator tried to profit off it by placing ads on the site btw
>>531157926Companies have done that before though, it isn't unheard of as dumb as it sounds.
Xananab and Wizpig are in the game, the reason the banandium gems are on dk's planet is that Wizpig invaded Xananab's planet and Xananab moved his Banandium/Crystal Bananas there, it's a subplot in the game that is slowly revealed
>>531159098I don't think Nintendo could use Wizpig even if they wanted.
>>531159145No argument?
>>531159085We can split hairs over my diction. There are many things about it that are unchanged, even the rings on his arms. His joints look extremely similar. At worst, they took his body and slightly modified it, but this doesn't look like a new iteration of K. Rool. Like copied the homework and used a thesaurus to change a few of the words around, but it's still the same blueprint.
Really though I'm not here to split hairs over how different it is, but really driving home the point of how easily this all can be faked and we've yet to see anything really conclusive. Let's wait until these guys post some videos. Surely those will be right around the corner if this is legit.

>>531159572Because there was something in it for Rare and Microsoft
>>531159550Anon, for the situation in which Microsoft would sell Rare's IPs to Nintendo what would need to happen would be
>Sea of Thieves would have to longer be seen as profitable>Microsoft is secretly discussing negotiating Rare's IPs to Nintendo>They cancelled Everwild to prepare shutting down Rare (and also because it was in development Hell)>Perfect Dark got cancelled because it's also a Rare IP (aside from being in development Hell)>Rare goes bust and Sea of Thieves shuts down>Microsoft sells the entire Rare IP catalog to Nintendo who for some reason agrees to pay presumably millions of dollars for them even though they have no resources available to support one let alone all of them>Microsoft uses the money for other projects (probably AI)You'd have to create an elaborate conspiracy for that to be plausible and Sea of Thieves is confirmed to still be getting support
>>531171336There was nothing in it for microsoft and they never use rare or any of their characters. Rare and their characters are probably locked up in bill gate's epstein sex dungeon whenever they aren't released by nintendo to make a game
>>531171336are you saying that's not the situation microsoft is in right now? the only game they have that they haven't tortured to death is minecraft and even that's debatable

>>531173795kalypso punch lemonade? fucking minging
>>531172476>>531171953Sea of Thieves is still profitable and as long as that remains they won't shut down Rare
Nintendo's only immediate incentive to even accept a deal buying Rare's IP catalog is to secure rights for distributing them on NSO without worrying about renewing licensing fees but Microsoft has the same incentive to keep the games for Game Pass
>>531148660In the Japanese manuals or 3 and World they are listed as Bowser's children. They were retconned to minions after Jr. debuted in Sunshine. Smash even breaks the 4th wall about this with the Pit and Palutena interactions.

The Baidu leaker is back.
>2(two) days until Bananza

Why did you lie to me?
>>531209678Nate confirmed a direct coming later this month.
>>531209736I'm about to confirm a foot up your ass if I don't get some Pauline costumes soon.
>>531209678Why would you think that this would happen before the game releases? It would be retarded to add costumes from a game that isn't even released yet
>>531148531There are only two Donkey Kong's faggot
>>531147439They are disconnected. The idea that we should even act like these are a single story with one person calling the shots is bullshit
>>531167918I can trust you eat shit and hair with a fork and spoon like spaghetti in a diarrhea sauce
>>531210616Retard. You want people to be aware of your product before the release date.
>>531213494Hence the Nintendo Today online app.
>>531215268Yeah, but you want to put it somewhere people will actually look.
>>531124843Ridley Confirmed
>>531215963So in Nintendo Today
>>531216375You want it somewhere people will actually look though.
>>531210616>Why would the thing that people speculated would be made to advertise and build hype for a game be used to advertise and build hype for the game
>>531217932People are not going to get hyped for bananza because of some new costumes for pauline
>>531218384might convince some people who were on the fence to get bananza. definitely isn't going to hurt
>>531218384They certainly won't if they released them after the game comes out
>>531217932Well obviously it wasn't a useful business strategy since they didn't do it
>>531093051 (OP)So between Brothership and Bananza, what will be mandatefags's next cope?
>>531220246Toads, it's always gonna be muh Toads, despite Toads for most of Mario never being anything more than generic, especially in mainline games (they will conveniently ignore Toadette and say she doesn't count)
>>531209678it wouldn't make sense, pauline isn't in bananza
eating out k.rool's belly button
>>531220357>despite Toads for most of Mario never being anything more than generic, especially in mainline gamesBecause of the mandate, dummy
>>531220775Pauline can dress up as Suzanne. Obviously the clothes would be too small for her but I think she could pull off a crop top and short shorts.
I can't believe the mandate ruined SMB1.
>>531220246Considering the Switch Mario Striker didn't shut up mandatefags nothing will. I doubt even Tanabe becoming a good producer and making a good Paper Mario game would convince them.
>>531171953>There was nothing in it for microsoft and they never use rare or any of their characters.They weren't competing in handhelds so they got some money from Diddy Kong Racing DS at least since Rare made it
I'm watching the latest Donkey Kong Thread, and I can see that Mr. E is very angry and is calling Dobkey Kong woke, again.
However I cannot post there again until tomorrow morning, because I put King K. Rool's face in one of the thread picrels.
The thread is this way.
>>715460317
>>531224212Goddamn, he did it. He actually did it. He linked it and didn't link it at the same time.
>>531224445I assumed the post I was linking to got deleted because it was from Dr. E, so I tried linking the OP post, but that didn't work either.
Here is the thread.
>>>/v/715460317
The very irritated Dr. E is going on a rampage in the Donkey Kong thread, he thinks Donkey Kong is woke, and he is currently calling Donkey Kong gay.
I can't go there to reason with him right now.

>>531230115Donkey Kong isn't. Wokey Kong from Bananza who's pretending to be our DK is woke. It's all about emasculating strong male figures. DK was stoic but also knew how to have fun and wasn't a completely serious dude. Wokey Kong slobbers over giant bananas as he straddles them and doesn't have a cool bone in his body.

Not reading any of the leaks but is Candy Kong in the game with giant fucking norks or what?

>>531102583>DK movie incorporates Bananza's terrain mechanics into the story>Movie ends with DK reforming an entire mountain into his own head
The latest on the leak vine is that there will be a Direct in two weeks time.
They won't announce the next 3D Mario until after Bananza because it is a prequel about Bowser trying to ruin Mario and Pauline's wedding.
>>531234517Please let this be true.
What if he kidnaps Pauline and Peach...
Wait, no, Mario and Bowser are frenemies now, right?
Aren't we forgetting about Bowser's wife?
>>531235167What has Captain Syrup got to do with this?
Did we get Pauline's prequel/de-age/child of Mario status yet?
>>531235740Nothing, I am referring to Bowser's wife, with whom he conceived Bowser Jr.

I, the Pauline Jr. theorist, am fine with the de-aged outcome, as long as it is confirmed that Mario and Pauline are together again.
If not, then I will still buy Donkey Kong Bananza so I can experience King K. Rool.

>>531236902Nah, cope.
We have photographic evidence.
>>531236825Actually, King K. Rool's presence in the game adds more weight to the Mori theory.

I SEEM TO HAVE A KNACK
>>531247732I wish you got banned globally instead of just on /v/.
I wonder what all the context even is
The fundamental difference between Bowser and K. Rool stems from how Bowser's a turtle and K. Rool's a crocodile
You put Bowser with ordinary Koopas and he looks a lot less evil and dangerous
You put K. Rool with ordinary Kremlings and he's unaffected
>>531248953"YOUR SCALP IS DRY." and "You've become obscene" made me laugh.

can't wait to dong in a few days
Okay anons, which of these do you WANT to happen, and which of these do you THINK will happen?
>A: Pauline was magically deaged
>B: Pauline is actually Pauline Junior
>C: The OG Pauline and Mario are actually Lady and Jumpman, kid Pauline, Mario etc are their kids/grandkids
>D: This is explicitly a prequel that contradicts existing lore and Nintendo just doesn't give a fuck about it making sense
>E: It's intentionally left ambiguous in a careful way
Hardmode: Rank them for each and explain why
In terms of what I'd want, it'd go B > C > A > E > D. In terms of what I think is likely, it's E > C > D > B > A
I don't think A is likely at all. If it were, then they wouldn't need to specify she's "13", and I think having her both magically turned into a rock AND magically made younger is pointless/too much. B seems plausible, but I don't get why they'd hide it if so. C seems very likely to me considering what the Mario movie did and how Banazna seems to be taking influence from it, and E is also quite likely in that it allows them to have contradictory info without explaining shit as long as no one answer actually fits everything. I think D is possible, but it seems needlessly mean spirited given E would be just as simple nearly, and when Cranky directly references fighting mario: They easily could have just NOT included that if they intended to retcon stuff.
>>531253980Mixture of D and E, so
>F: it's a prequel that's left ambiguous and doesn't contradict anything because of that
>>531253980They would want to hide (B) because it will be massive if Mario has a daughter, the gaming industry will be unable to ignore it.
>>531253980A, I don't want them to retcon anything, that's dumb. B would be fine I guess but that would be weird.
does anyone here has the OST rip of that "secret" playtest Nintendo did last year? that Minecraft-esque game, had some bangers

>>531256293who is the father?
>>531256484Putting mario in a relationship with someone other than peach is weird, and so is giving him a kid because that means Mario had sex, which isn't something I want to think about. This is something that confused me as a kid when they added the baby characters to mario kart, I hadn't played yoshi's island so I thought baby mario was peach and mario's son and mario named him after himself which is really narcissistic. Still not sure what the explanation for them is

>>531256897>mario running after a girl who doesn't want him at all is weird*ftfy
>>531257009I made a mistake.
I wanted to have a neat OP image for my contribution to the Bananza leak threads, that properly conveyed what the thread was about.
I had previously made a leak thread using the Kroc's face as the OP image, that reached 527 replies, so I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.
I am sorry.
Mario Kart 64 :^) has finally been added to Nintendo Music.
>>531256897>Putting mario in a relationship with someone other than peach is weirdWelp, the Odyssey team must've missed the memo when they had Peach reject Mario, ending the Mareach pairing forever

With this wait for Mario Kart World on the music app, I really hope they bother to do a proper CD release for it before putting it on the music app so I can actually own the soundtrack and have a way to listen to it without having to use that app or requiring a connection
>>531264509i think there's a very high chance they do a cd release as 40th anniversary merch
https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/mario-kart-64-original-soundtrack
Mario Kart 64 on Nintendo Music appears to be based on the Mario Kart 64 Original Soundtrack version of the OST, with the tracks matching but the order of the non-race music swapped around and the original English names changed to make more sense (I havenโt compared the actual songs though)
>>531264749I feel like it would be odd to not do a CD release to cash in on the effort that went into Worldโs soundtrack, but Nintendoโs track record with soundtracks hasnโt been great especially lately and no new soundtrack has been announced since the music app launched (Ordertune was the latest one), and other than MK64 none of the previous Mario Karts got commercial releases of their soundtracks so I worry for Worldโs
Oh, thereโs also the issue of DLC and whether or not itโs being made; if so they could very well wait until DLC is finished before releasing a complete soundtrack, but thatโll take a while and I really want a CD soundtrack for my collection
>>531266429...i could've sworn 8's had a commercial release.
>>531267525Reminder that shooting Harambe was the only real option
Tranquilizers do not work the same way you see in cartoons
>>531267262It did have a soundtrack release, but it wasnโt commercial so it technically didnโt count (I still own it though)
It also feels incomplete now that the DLC was a thing so I havenโt listened to that CD lately but apparently the masters are different from the versions on the music app, and the CDโs versions of Electrodrome, Cloudtop Cruise and Music Park are also different from the music app versions
Oh and I forgot to mention that one big hope behind wanting a CD release of World is that we might finally get composer credits for many of the songs like those from Wii, 7, Tour, 3D Land, 3D World
>>531091408>they killed the Zelda timeline to make it fit.and proceeded to bring it back with Echoes of Wisdom.

>>531253865Someone gooned to this
>>531272683Um, bit lost are we?
>>531272683>This was just a clever way of saying "it doesn't matter here".It's a clever way to no lock themselves and say "it doesn't matter now" (or ever), but the official answer is that, you liking or not, and came direct from the producers mouths and is as depicted in the official websites: they're the farthest games in the timeline. It's different than saying they're outside of the timeline like Hyrule Warriors or others.
>>531274372He's late answering some posts in the previous Mario general about Nintendo not caring about their games continuity, which is wrong for all their games.
>>531274836There was once a time where the official website put each game along a single timeline and narrated their stories with a single Link going through all of them.

A 3d voxel-fified version of his arcade sprite? His DK64 model? Something meant to look like the Silicon Graphics model used in prerendered art in the DKC games?

>>531298919He wouldn't, K. Rool only wants bananas, and Mario isn't risking his life for something that literally grows on trees. Actually, you know what, i can picture them meeting up and it going like this:
>So, you want to steal bananas?>Yeah>Okay, wellโฆ i think it's kind of a waste of resources, yours and mine, in fact i think we can negotiate something>Okay, i'm willing to hear the offer>Yeah, so I own this land, it's Mario Land, i'll give you 49% of all the bananas on my property, and in exchange, you lend a good portion of your troops to help us defend against any threats that threaten the mushroom kingdom. So, do we have a deal?>Sure man, i'm down

and honestly, good riddance, it's lore is a total mess. No reason to build off anything there.

>>531307095>Yet it's own beginnings conflicts with the ZT's beginnings. It's not canon to the original timeline, period.Nintendo disagrees. But that doesn't matter. Nintendo doesn't care about Zelda lore beyond easter eggs so this conversation is pointless.

Try not dismissing without thought the next time you post.
>>531318732>There wasn't a gay goat dude in Squidward Sword dude.That doesn't mean Nintendo made Breath of the Wild non-canon. They just don't care. It's been said in the past that they don't care about timeline lore stuff because it's too constricting.
>>531319032Fags like him put too much stock in Nintendo lore. It might be a sunk cost thing.
>Bananza confirmed as being the reason for DK's redesign and not the movie.
>the movie took from Bananza
Moviebros... what is this?
Nintendo always had timeline in mind since the very beginning with Zelda, it's just they're not really committed to it sometimes and may take liberties here and there, especially with the smaller mainline games like Links Awakening, Oracle, and the multiplayer games
>>531320315It makes sense, what kinds of idiot really think that Illumination somehow able to influence and force their shit onto the most stubborn company in all of gaming?
You don't see Mario with an actual collar and a pocket at the center of his overall in Mario Kart World, and he's the damn main character in the movie
>Nintendo doesn't care about DK story
>Latest interview has them talking about the story and how exciting it is
>>531322362they say this at the start of the interview. anyone who says shit about dk not having a story has obviously never played a dk game before
Is funny how this interview is btfo almost all of /v/ schizo ramblings about nintendo
>Cranky's schizo ramblings about K.Rool throughout the entire game is proven right
I think it'd be funnier if in the post-game he'd go on about how he thought it was Tiki Tong that stole the bananas instead.
there's people on /v/ saying the leak is fake and that it's on the same level as the grinch smash leak or the delfino plaza odyssey leak
>>531326980they got btfo when we got the elephant transformation confirmed, even matching the k.rool screenshot colors.
as usual, it's shitposting for the sake of it.
you guys aren't gonna upgrade your health in bananza, are you? according to the devs that makes the game easier, and you should go for other skills instead
>>531327713I'll upgrade it if I need it, but my main priority is on acquiring and upgrading moves and Bananza transformations.
>>531320315My narrative delete this
>>531322362That's because they're advertising the game, nitwit.
>>531330183Did they ever talk about how exciting Odyssey's story was going to be multiple times throughout an interview?
>>531338581I'm pretty sure they did.
>>531258175they way how Pauline came back in the same game and then went to co-star in their next big 3d game feels like they sabotage peach for Pauline, or the old heads didn't want change the statue quo so they planted the seeds for for the next where they'd be able to anything they want since it wasn't mario or peach.
If you get all the sidequests and collectibles before the final boss, it unlocks the True Route where Donkey gets turned into stone and Young Mario & Luigi appear out of nowhere to save Pauline, with a 30-minute gameplay that leads to a Mario/Luigi/K.Rool/Pauline/Grumpy/Poppy/Diddy/Dixie/Cranky/Funky teamup which erases Void Kong from existence
Unfortunately, Mario gets fatally wounded, but sacrifices the last wish to turn everything back to normal, including Pauline, and as his life fades away, these are the last words that come out of his mouth:
>"Thank you so much for a-to-playing his game..."

>miyamoto would just casually make up shit about the mario lore when asked questions
>>531342008do people really think he was thinking this hard about the "lore" when developing the original games? it's volatile on purpose because he doesn't care that much beyond the general idea
>>531342518We have some very special people who think that Nintendo cares extensively about the lore of their games here.
Final score prediction for Bananza before embargo drops tomorrow.
I realized that the reason why I hate the DK redesign is because his eyes are too close to each other so the weird skin around them is too noticeable
>DK's redesign was in the oven for so long the movie derived from it
That just makes the presence of Rare Kong in Universal Studios more confusing
>unlocked all the vehicles
>don't like any of them
It's over
>>53134617597 like Odyssey
>>531346482The whole theme park area is really just one outdated joke, especially in the face of Bananza. Fucking Tiki Tong as the headlining villain here, come on.
It'd ironically aged better if Nintendo just went with Universal's supposed idea of representing DK's deeper legacy with K. Rool and such.
>>531346996It makes sense when you realize it's probably just Nintendo wanting to reveal their own new designs and reintroductions on their own terms, in their own work, etc
>>531346996I like how "deeper legacy" is... the only legacy. It'd be like if a mario ride used fawful and someone complained that they didn't use mario's "deeper legacy" by using bowser.
Every Mario game is a play.
If the game gets less than 94 I'll cancel my amiibo purchase.
So wait, if DK's redesign came from wanting him to be more expressive why did they get rid of Diddy Kong's monoeye?
Was it seen as limiting?
Never saw it as a problem
Sonic, Cerebus, Mafalda, etc don't have that problem
I'll miss the Nintendo cap but I get why it's gone because the logo is a bitch to put on smaller images, products, etc
>>531347213Which sucks because could imagine disney developing a well themed land in the 90's before euro disney
>Motokura: Well now... In a long-running series, novelty and continuity are both important, but we wanted this title to fully convey the appeal of Donkey Kong as a character. Meanwhile, we thought that by creating something new, leveraging our experience developing 3D Mario games, we'd have the opportunity to create two separate branches โ 2D Donkey Kong and 3D Donkey Kong โ just as we did with Mario games. So, keeping in mind that this game will come to symbolize 3D Donkey Kong, and with the theme of bringing Donkey Kong's strengths and new actions to the forefront, we thought the concept of โdestructionโ would be a good fit.

So I guess either EPD is doing 2D DK going forward or Retro is indeed still gonna make more
>>531349140>or Retro is indeed still gonna make moreLooking forward to it in 10 years time.
>>531142874I read the synopsis of of a book before reading it. That's how I choose to engage with media. You're welcome to your method but can eat my shit and hair if you think I care what you think of my method
>>531327713Because I'm stupid like this, I'll probably upgrade only what I need to because I'll think I'll need the upgrade points for later despite needing them now, but not recognizing it until I'm halfway through the game with 20 upgrade points and having used only 5 from sheer stubbornness
how the fuck are there so many images of the model but nothing on the actual boss fight
curious
>they still think it's fake
>>531351513We've already explained why and you refuse to listen.
>chinese blog is dead
oh fuck
>>531351513Because screenshots of K. Rool were ""stolen"" from some secret Discord polycule and everyone else got copyright striked by Nintendo after bragging about getting a copy early
>>531352461They never learn. Tsk tsk.
>>531352461They weren't stolen, they were specifically told by the streamer to not take any videos and only show screenshots of K.Rool and kremlings but keep the rest under wraps. The streamer in question is a literal journo and if he gets caught he'll lose his job.
Hell they didn't even show the final boss, and it's implied you fight K.Rool once before the final boss (which we don't know if it's just a juiced up K.Rool or something else)
>>531353128Donkey Kong looking ugly.
Behold the might Hand Goomba

>>531353406>we could have had this instead of wokey kong
>>531352461>>531353336I want k rool to be in the game but this shit is making me doubt it a bit. So far the chinese leaker is the only one that seems trustworthy which is pretty bad. Hopefully he finds K rool and can get around his ban or find a new site to post on
>>531353827>doubt itJesus christ dude the chinese leaker showed the elephant form which matches colors with the K.Rool leak of the elephant icon. Genuinely why are you guys so retarded?
>>531354037the elephant icon in their pics don't match the elephant bananza the chinese leaker sent, it doesn't have the yellow pattern on it's head and in that image the bird has a fucked up shadow. this convoluted story about a discord and them not wanting to share it in a straightforward way like the chinese guy did also screams fake.
>>531354037Because they refuse to believe K.Rool's model in the screenshots isn't anything more than an ever so slightly doctored Smash model despite the fact it's considerably different.
>>531354317Okay retard, go in the corner with the daughterfag.
>>531354317>the elephant icon in their pics don't match the elephant bananza the chinese leaker sentThe icon is purple and yellow like the bananza screenshot. I hope you are shitposting and not actually retarded

>>531354576Daughterfag belongs with the K Rool leak believers for insisting that their theory is real. There's reasonable doubt with these K Rool leaks, and until I see a video I don't believe the leaks. I think this stinks of people seeing what they want so badly and being blinded by it. A lot of the things believers are saying were said by proponents of the Grinch leak.
>>531356762actually it's DKs conquerors haki
>>531355606missing context that the left ran at sub-30 fps and also they had to cut game mechanics and even then it barely ran
>>531360568is that true? they tried getting it to run on switch 1?
>>531360836tried yes, but it didn't work so well
they redesigned the game completely after shifting over to switch 2 to allow more features
>>531360836The project began as a Switch 1 game. Here's the relevant text.
>>531346996isnt' there like no tiki imagery beyond the one tiki tong prop you see for 3 seconds on the ride, one drawing, and cranky mentioning him, as well as no merchandise whatsoever?
Honestly, they could probably replace him and redo the lines with k.rool if they wanted.
>>531360950>they redesigned the game completelyIt really doesn't sound like that was the case. Just that they had to drop features but the Switch 2 conversion allowed them to bring those back.
>>531362307Yeah, even the Switch/Switch 2 screenshots don't really show a radical redesign of the game.
>>531362307Yes - and they had to redesign the game to accommodate for those features. You don't just put in a feature and call it a day, you'd have to tweak the entire game.
>>531356762They're already going "So that's why Krocodile Kore had those colors"
>>531362193There's two Tiki Tong props, with DK ground slapping the other one in the ride's ending. Also the screaming pillars.

DK fucks K. Rool in the ass
>>531349140>I'm seeing people taking Nintendo's comments about there being 2D & 3D Donkey Kong going forward as Retro continuing with 2D Donkey Kong, No that's copium. It's unlikely Retro returns to Donkey Kong again, there were unique circumstances at play to allow them to make the DK games. Retro's original existence was to make games for Nintendo that they themselves couldn't make. There are so many internal teams that can make a 2D Donkey Kong game, there is NO ONE other than Retro that can make a Metroid Prime game at the caliber they make them. I am not saying they are going to become the Metroid Prime studio, I imagine after Prime 4 they will do Prime 5 then move onto another IP due to franchise fatigue. I am also not saying that Retro aren't capable they certainly are, and Tropical Freeze is easily Top 5 2D Platformers ever made but we are in a different era of Nintendo and a different era of Retro. I just want to keep everyone's expectations in check here.https://xcancel.com/kiwitalkz/status/1945215402507952496
Seems more likely they created a new production group to handle 2D DK. As for Retro, it looks like they're stuck in the Metroid dungeon.
>>531375764I know he has close ties to the studio but he admits its speculation on his own part and even pointed out the big thing about Retro.
They fucking hate franchise fatigue
As for 2D Donkey Kong, the EPD expansion hasn't happened yet. We're still a few years away.
I could picture Retro doing one more DKC before EPD taking the helm.
>>531375764Retro will forever be in the clutches of Tanabe. He will do whatever he pleases with them.
>>531376631Look I know people have gripes with the guy but honestly after the Harmony shitshow, yeah I don't mind Tanabe popping in

You know, you still get the "cruel" pronunciation even if you say "Kay Rule."

It's both, you can spell the name in both ways, that's why the name works.
Why even act autistic about this?
>>531379364seethe bitchboy nigrossi
>>531380114"cruel" makes way more sense than "kay rool" the latter is such a lazy and retarded way to say it. It's like saying "mayrio" instead of mario
>>531380114>spellmeant to say pronounce
I hope if K. Rool does have a future they don't retread on what he did in previous games
A lot of his appeal comes from him switching things up, he doesn't have a static gameplay defining trait like Bowser's fire or Dedede's hammer.
I don't want his fights to all be crown toss, blunderbuss, propellerpack, etc
>>531380237okay cry about it I guess? Be sure to also be upset whenever someone calls the intermission tracks in Mario Kart World intermissions, when intermissions actually mean the time spent waiting between races in online mode.
>>531379803Literally the only person who has the right of it. Are you people all stupid or something? There may be a period, but you don't pause at the initial like it's the end of a sentence, you keep going and say the rest of the name. You still get the "cruel" sound this way. It even happens with the Smash Bros announcer. And THAT is what's supposed to be the joke about his name.

>>531377938Do we? Paperfags hate him because of Sticker Star, but he was actively improving Paper Mario after Sticker Star with each game. Even Metroid Prime Federation Force in retrospect was just a victim of Nintendo not revealing the Metroid 2 remake at that time and people treating it unfairly because of it.
Looking at my photos from Super Nintendo World, is it really odd that DKโs old design is all over the parkโs renders and is also the basis for the DK merch there even though the redesign probably already existed?
>>531383752the merch fits the new DK as well even with the brows
>>531383752Probably treated as one last hurrah for old DK.

I really want to see the other Kongs and animal buddies as part of optional minigames like what we saw with Diddy, Dixie, and Rambi
so no new developments since last night?
>>531388094It's morning in China now and apparently the blog was taken down
Also, last night's thread was on autosage
>>531388094Leakers got scared shitless, one of the more wellknown member of famiboards tried making an alt account to basically denounce his leak account as fake and piggying back off himself (he was larping as two different dudes), but got caught by the mods as just trying to cover his tracks (his info was legit he was just scared of Nintendo) so he got perma banned.
Yes what I'm saying is not false, this bananza shit is serious.
Chinese leaker got fucked by Nintendo, his elephant leak was one of the last things and confirmed the K.Rool images that had the elephant icons with matching colors.
Either way, embargo gets lifted tomorrow and K.Rool is real anyway, we'll experience it all soon.
UPDATE ON CHINESE LEAKER
>Chinese leaker got to the credits after rushing through the story
>Made a new thread
>Isn't posting any spoiler and is telling people to DM him for spoilers
Well, that's a disappointment lmao
>>531388415i just need k.rool konfirmation and i can secure my purchase
>>531389820It already got konfirmed with the elephant bananza.
>>531389820He's on layer 1600.
>>531319032>That doesn't mean Nintendo made Breath of the Wild non-canon.They literally put it apart the timeline my dude, and none of the backstory they made for the Calamity games fits with any of the ZT games. It's all throwaway.
>>531319413or because they hired a kodomo show writers to write TotK's story because all they were really doing during the development of that game was adding more lame floating rocks and mirroring the depths with the surface and not it's story.

making a Mario game should be so easy nowadays now that's confirmed that Miyamoto doesn't gives a shit if his series have a consistent story or not, so you can just, make bullshit up
Mario were actually on K. Rool payroll in the arcades, that's why he used a mechanical Klaptrap to kill DK Jr.
Odyssey had a big tribute to DK in it, surely Bananza will have a big tribute to Mario, right?
Right?

>>531409829I actually can taste it. I bought three bunches of bananas today and I'm eating one right now.
Hot take but I don't really care for Bananza. Was never a fan of DK and his games, so the only way for me to buy this title is if there's a secret side story mode where you can play as Mario and his moveset is extremely close to his Odyssey moveset, except for the obvious Cappy mechanic.
>>531410838How is that a hot take? You're allowed to not be a fan of DK. It's not a sin.
Ausbros not long now
I have tomorrow off work so am going to all nighter it

I think the Japanese name Dinky Kong is better than Kiddy Kong.

>>531422984For as many faults Microsoft has, restricting Rare isn't one of them
Rare staff old and new have been vocal that Microsoft is very hands off with them (yes, Kinect sports was something Rare's leadership wanted to do and it makes sense when you remember they love working with new technology)
You can argue that there are caveats with that sure but that wouldn't change the fact that Rare's renaissance wasn't gonna happen again with the rise of cost and complexities with game development
At most they'd likely still be on Donkey Kong at least
>>531422325Damn they really went all out in the sexo of this model.
>>531423326>Rare staff old and new have been vocalDid they sign a petition?
Im just mere hours, Rarewarefags will be finished for good.
>>531424561>will be finished for good.Did you just enter the thread?
>>531423326>restricting Rare isn't one of themYeah that's the problem, if they got acquired by Nintendo they'd actually be given outside direction. As much as I hate saying this, sometimes the executives need to but the screws on the devs. Look at Retro and MP4.
>>531424561Are you retarded?
>>531426231I think the collaboration between Nintendo and Rare worked because they're both game developers
I wouldn't want Rare to be stuck making games they don't want to make even if I wanted them but I think that back and forth chemistry and understanding between Nintendo and Rare's philosophies made for better games
That said
>You can argue that there are caveats with that sure but that wouldn't change the fact that Rare's renaissance wasn't gonna happen again with the rise of cost and complexities with game developmentIs still true
Rare was in the peak of their creative output when emerging technology in video games was still new and exciting but still primitive enough for them to have multiple teams make the most out of it
Rare aren't bad game developers now or anything
They just can't replicate their past because of circumstances they can't control
>>531426231>Look at Retro and MP4.Maybe I don't spend all day being weird about video game companies, but all I've sen with this is like..
>Nintendo makes a version of prime 4 that's so bad they give up and ask retro to make it instead>Retro agrees but needs a few years to move on from that failed cameo game they were working on and hire people who can make a fps game before they can begin productionAnd that's where we are now unless I missed anything. Like I'm not expecting prime 4 to be good because everyone who made 1-3 are long gone, but I haven't seen anything from them that makes them look incompetent. Better off then rare unless nintendo mass fires people at retro like microsoft just did to rare.
>>531427890>Nintendo makes a version of prime 4 that's so bad they give up and ask retro to make it insteadIt's unknown who was doing it, rumor had it it was some Bamco studio but it never got confirmed officially and then Retro pitched a prototype.

NST had some of the worst fucking development shitshow you could imagine with Project HAMMER and they're still around
Granted we're in a post-Iwata era but Nintendo generally doesn't do layoffs
>>531429394That's mostly because they're japanese and can't legally mass fire people like that. Obviously it's not that simple, but from a legal stand point it's harder for a company in japan to go "boom, thousands of people fired" then in america.
>>531430931Even American employees?
>>531382616How about making Metroid Prime 4 about Sylux.
>>531431672....Metroid fans WANTED that after Prime Hunters
>>531431936No they didn't. A couple of low IQ fags on the internet wanted him and Tanabe just happens to be a low IQ fag.
>>531431672Every Metroid fan kept on saying Sylux was the natural next villain of Metroid Prime. Don't rewrite history.
>>531386864>his paper mario games are fucking trasEveryone likes Colour Splash and Origami King.
>federation force deserves the hate it gotIt was unfairly shat on because Metroidfags wanted mainline. It's not the game's fault the remake wasn't ready first.
This is a Mario general, not a Nintendo general. Leave other games out of here.
>>531433589>This is a Mario general, not a Nintendo generalLet's change that.
>>531432073>No they didn'tHe was literally written in at the end of Prime 3 stop being retarded.
>>531433429>Everyone likes Colour Splash and Origami King.NTA, but stop lying. Color splash was controversial in paper mario history, and Origami king's gameplay puts lots of players off, even if the game was more liked than Color splash.

holy shit the leaks were actually true
I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON
With the game out now I just wanna say:
Calliopefags, kneel now. Daughterfaggots, kneel now.
Leakdoubtfags, KNEEL NOW.
and thus balance has returned to the world
If next thread doesn't replace C with K then OP is a faggot
>>531446873daughter isnt deconfirmed yet. we still don't know wtf is happening with pauline
>>531446873I am sorry.
I will find a Switch 2 and buy Donkey Kong Bananza.
Haven't looked:
was K. Rool a fossil?
main antagonist, or bonus boss?
what's the deal with Pauline?
>>531447301The game just ends.
It ends with DK leaving Pauline in NDC, which has no DK references on any of the buildings, and then after the credits, there is an image of Pauline playing the guitar on the street, with a message that reads "The adventure continues...".
>cranky being arcade dk retconned
IT'S OVER
0/10
FUUUUCK
>>531446346Why is he so perfect bros?
>>531448045No, Cranky still mentions it happening, some are saying.
>>531447892>prequelSo that means current DK just fucking kidnaps her later on?
Wait, I went back and watched the cutscene again, there are DK references on the buildings, but I think they might be DKC-related.
I don't think I see any Arcade references.
Does K. Rool speak gibberish too?
>>531448339It's a direct sequel to DKC games but arcade dk got retconned
>>531448417then explain pauline
YouTube shows he has 3 forms. I saw pics from the thumbnail, but no way Iโll watch the videos.
>>531446346I posted a k rool gif on instagram in one of the DK posts, and some coping tard was in denial k rool was back. He deleted his comment when I checked back today.
So going from my understanding, here's the new timeline
>DKC > Bananza > Odyssey
Pauline has been retconned out of being part of the original arcade game.
K rool secured his slot in the next smash
>>531449431>they fucking renegged on split theoryLady=/=Pauline.
Wait, this could be the new timeline
>Jumpman and Lady are their own seperate characters
>Cranky Kong way back in the past kidnapped Lady
>Jumpman saves her, New Donk City is born.
>years later
>Cranky is old, DKC and shortly after Bananza takes place
>years later
>Modern Mario games like Odyssey take place
>>531449431The Arcade game didn't happen in NDC though.
There are only DKC references.
>>531449848>>531449789I wouldn't hate this, provided that it is also made explicit that mario is jumpman's son or grandson
that said it's kinda wierd that DK is that much older then Mario and Pauline then
>>531449943>>531447892Do you get to run around and break shit in the city?
>>531450036Gorillas have a lower life expectancy.
>>531450036Not from what I've seen.
>inbefore Kamek contacts K. Rool
>>531450162DK is a kong, not a gorilla. He could very well have a human life expectancy.
>>531450552This looks amazing. Iโm not mad Iโm spoiling myself. Itโs just hyping me more. This is the game Iโve been dreaming of.
>>531449789DK still kidnaps Pauline when they open the Mini Mario toys.
>>531450552Did K. Rool learn from Bowser?
>>531450808This takes place before Odyssey, a decade in fact.
>>531449943There are arcade references, Pauline says Mario helped her back then, you get the arcade items for her and the citizens says the festival, which has 2D Mario playing through a version of the arcade, is the history of how the city was founded.
>>531450552Now that it's no confirmed that there're no K. Rool references in the game what's next?
>>531450998Will we ever get a game where Pauline gets dumped?
>Pauline no longer the first lady of Nintendo
>de-aged out of being a hot woman to not offend modern audiences
>disney songs instead of actual good ones
Easy skip
Where is 3D Mario?
>>531450897>rare dk and diddy are older than mario and bowserWtf
i'll bite, is mario referenced anywhere?
>>531451269DK is likely a teen during the DKC games as he's supposed to be just as old as Mario due to Yoshi's Island DS
Kongs likely reach puberty faster.
>the canonical reason why kremlings were gone for DKCR and DKCTF is because k.rool and krew got stuck trying to reach the core
>>531451314Doesn't Cranky reference him a couple times?
>>531450998Then explain why Mini-Pauline is never explained.
>>531451583He says "rival with an overall" which could reference Jumpman if they seperate Mario and Jumpman from being the same character
>>531449789Hear me out,
Lady=Peach
Pauline=Pauline
>>531451636Not my job. I'm just presenting evidence that Odyssey had everything connected. Clearly Bananza has some retcons going on.
>>531452126Bananza was apparently made by a Country secondary. He probably retconned shit just to spite Mario.
>they're doing the goddamn "mystery-box" thing like they post-BotW Zelda
Guess we're gonna have to play the next game to get questions than answers from now on.
>>531452503Wouldn't be the first time in the Mario series.
Remember the Koopalings being Bowser's children?
Remember Mario & Luigi being delivered to the wrong parents?
Remember DK Jr. existing at all?
>>531452805Luigi's Mansion with Bowser's corpse being retconned into a costume since according to the game him appearing was "Impossible" since he was defeated.
WE'RE IN AUSBROS
LOCK AND LOAD
>>531452805>Remember DK Jr. existing at all?No. There's never been a DK Jr.

Ending for Bananza has leaked. Game is a prequel to the arcade DK games and Cranky is no longer arcade DK. Time to laugh at the anons who doubted.
>>531455193"TIME FOR RETCON, BANANZA!"
>>531453730Never existed!
>>531455193>Yoshi's Island is no longer the earliest gameMamma mia!
>>531455193Nope, it's a prequel to Odyssey and Bananza is implied to take place after DKC
Arcade happens before.
mario timeline's all fucked, but at least the game seems good
On a scale of 0-10, how much of the timeline fuckery can we blame on MatPat memeing?
>>531456927>On a scale of 0-10, how much of the timeline fuckery can we blame on MatPat memeing?that shitter has no control over games in his false ramblings
>>531456558We're in for a big ride if this is how things really play out from now on. Don't know what to expect.
>>531455963Pauline is a child. It takes place after DKC but before the arcade games and Mario vs DK.
>>531455193so happy that now nobody can complain about my stupid headcanons because Nintendo doesn't gives a fuck about the lore of their games anyway
>>531458535>Pauline is a child. It takes place after DKC but before the arcade games and Mario vs DK.That makes no sense since DKC games make it clear that they take place after arcade.
>>531465002Cranky being arcade DK was only relevant in external materials like the DKC manuals, it had no bearing on anything, nor does retconning it really change anything. Now stuff like Yoshi's Island DS or Mario vs DK makes sense though.

DKC1 and DKC2 game intros literally visually and text confirm DK arcade was before the DKC series.
does this mean k rool might actually make it in as DLC for mario kart world? that would make me so happy
