ITT: Underrated games from big franchises

also, why tf didn't they bring back the crazy jumps Mario can do in this in the 2d games again? It's so fun...

>>11872495
because they never made another 2d mario until NSMB, and that game was trying to be like the nes original.

>>11872512
No? It had allusions to it visually, but the structure was more inspired by SMB3 and SMW. As for Mario's moveset, they approached it with the goal of transferring SM64's move set back into 2D, hence walljumps, triplejumps, ground pounds, etc.

Looks fantastic. Just how I remember it.

I'm waiting for the DX mod

>he didn't redesign the mario sprite
this might be the only one of his dx hacks that doesn't look worse than the original

>>11872814
What are you talking about?

>>11872823
everything is right there in the post, can't imagine what you'd need clarification on

>>11872828
Megaman looks like Megaman and Dr Wario looks like Dr Wario
That's why I'm asking you what are you talking about

>>11872846
No, this is Donkey Kong.

>>11872851
I'm talking about his other DX mods
Which one has redisigns that you think look worse

>>11872861
Fung Ling is my waifu

>>11872495
>>11872512
its follow up was literally on their next handheld console with the same moveset

Wow!

>>11872606
NSMB is like the nes because it's all about physics. It doesn't matter if it has a map or you can carry items, the game is built around the idea of precise jumps and momentum.

>>11873824
yes everybody knows, but that's a sequel is clearly an exception.

>>11873824
Yeah, but it wasn't nearly as good.

>>11873824
Does anyone else feel like the controls are a bit tighter on the gb original?

>>11872798
I'm also waiting for this, and I'm going to play it with an original arcade Donkey Kong joystick and buttons. Maybe not the best choice but we'll see how it works out.

>>11876189
Yes, to the point I never play the GBA game.

>>11872487 (OP)
>>11873824
I refuse to believe they're not cooking up a remake for this too, especially after the lore we thought we knew got upended so magnificently.

>>11875968
>why didn't they do this again?
>>the sequels did it
>TH-THAT DOESN'T COUNT
fuck off retard

>>11876572
midwit.
you don't even understand the topic, original anon is asking why the moves never did a return in OTHER 2d games, not why another sequel wasn't made.

>original anon is asking why the moves never did a return in OTHER 2d games
You misread their post.

It's really interesting how people paint this game like it goes against 90's Donkey Kong. It's basically a Rare fangame. It doesn't resemble the aesthetics or gameplay of arcade Donkey Kong to any degree. It's also a very goddamn good game by the way, so I'm posting it.

Kino, it was the DK of my young

>>11876647
Have you played it with the bongos? I've heard it controls like absolute shit using a regular GC controller so I've never even tried it

is the color version done finally?

>>11876647
I was surprised at how good at this game is, given the controls seemed like it would be pure jank at first
