You know it's really interesting, ever since Nintendo replaced Iwata with Furakawa they've been acting very similarly to all the big established german companies I've worked for. Belligerent unfriendly arrogance towards both the customers and workers backed by worse and worse products. Makes sense because Furakawa worked for Nintendo Germany as a finance guy before he got promoted.

Just got done watching the df video on dk bonanza. It drops down to 30 fps for extended periods of time (an entire boss fight drops to 30(.
This game runs like ASS and they're charging 70 fucking dollars for it.

That kinda sucks but it's not a deal breaker by any means.

Good to know this thread is still spergy as ever. Anyway I’m sure this color scheme won’t have any negative repercussions.

Wonder why the frame rate for some people is apparently a deal breaker when it comes to Bananza.

Because Chinese games are any better right?
 
I bought Bananza and have played only about two hours. Zero framerate issue but my biggest problem is this game is just nonstop button mashing.

I hardly see what's happening because its just particles everywhere while smashing the same buttons over and over. Gets kinda repetitive really fast.

Maybe it will get less mashy but I'm not blown away so far. Mario Oddesy definitely blew me away pretty early, so when I saw that comparison and the same company made it I was really excited.

I don't feel like I’m exploring the world, I'm just destroying everything all the time. Hopefully it gets better- my kid likes it, maybe I'm just old and lame.

Nah I’m im the same boat as you here. It’s not scratching a 3D platformer itch for me and the camera issues remind me of the PS1 days
 
The DK game release snuck up on me. Didn't realize it was imminent.

The reviews all seem great. So tell me why that is a bad thing and how Nintendo is now doomed.

I HATED having to play through the arcade game twice to get the Nintendo coin. Say what you will about DK64 but my memories of it are very rose tinted except for that one part. It wouldn't have so bad if not for the fact that they only gave you one life. I wish they woukd put it on NSO because being able to rewind and use save states for that part would make it a lot more tolerable.

I was 10 when it came out. I rented it at blockbuster for two consecutive weeks, got all the way up to the castle world, but then when I got the game for Xmas, I think that was one of the first games that truly felt taxing on a replay. But at least I got that expansion card from it for Perfect Dark months later.

Plus, most of the best games Microsoft put out for Xbox & Xbox 360 have been available on their digital storefront for nearly 20 years at this point,

There's still a great deal of games still tethered to the original Xbox that may never see the light of day whether they're exclusives (JSRF, Unreal Championship 2), spinoffs of franchises (Far Cry Instincts), had unique XBL functionality (MechAssault), or had unique content and changed up just enough to constitute being its own thing (Rainbow Six 3/BA vs Raven Shield).

I replayed DK64 within the last year. It is a pretty good 3D platformer but Rare fell a bit too far into a formula for DK. Banjo-Kazooie had their standardized challenges like jinjos and witch switches, but that game (and Banjo-Tooie) had much more variety within each level.

DK64 is more or less the same ten challenges in every level, rinse and repeat but with a different texture and background music. A good game but definitely a step back.

I'm not sure if this is has been mentioned yet but
the ending to Donkey Kong Bananza has leaked on youtube and K. Rool is the final boss.
I seriously wasn't expecting that

I’m more surprised by the fact that’s it’s a riff on
Malenia, Goddess of Rot from Elden Ring

EDIT: I never finished DK64 because I could never beat the original arcade game a second time. That really should not have been mandatory.

Reviews for highly hyped games are usually pointless. Most are either fanboys or corporate cock suckers. Doesn't help that reviewers that don't play ball get blacklisted so their reviews comes after the hype did most of the work. The exception is when the game is so atrocious, the hype turns into anti hype.
