I've been meaning to post this for a while and I just remembered to do so now as I just heard this song again on the way home from work.

 

Is it just me or can anyone else hear Stickerbrush Symphony in this song?

First of all, I want an apology for having to listen to that :p

 

Second, I think I know what you mean but unless you had said, I probably wouldn't have made any connection between the two. Seems to be more evident in the sections with Eminem singing.

Sorry. :D

 

I put the two together the first time I heard it. I was coming home from work and it was driving me crazy why it seemed so familiar, then further down the road it came to me.

I hear it - quick alert David Wise and the Stamper Bros.! Wonder if its intentional? I think Eminem outed himself as being a DK fan didn't he.

 

Good to see that i'm not just hearing things then. :D

Given both Level and Pop Fiction have a thread on the general board, I wasn't too sure whether to put this up there or in here. That there is also a music thread made me further unsure.

 

So I'm posting it here and people can make a new thread if they want elsewhere. It's GT's new segment which focuses on music and they are starting with this beauty.

General what now?

 

Thats a great way for GT to kick off their new series but I felt they could have said more rather than just play the music - its not as if we don't know those tunes by heart is it. :indeed:

 

Can't believe DKC will be 20 years old in two years. Mental.

Honestly, the trilogy is so iconic, I'm surprised it's that recent! :heh:

 

That video alone reminded me why the DKC trilogy is the best 2D platforming experience of all time. Also, that the first game is the best.

 

I feel like hearing OCRemix's tribute album, now.

The beginning of that reminded me of the engine sound that Pod Racers make. :heh: Twas a good tune you posted - as I listened I was waiting for it to kick in and take things up a notch but that just didn't happen. :(

The Cave Dweller Concert remix was the one that sprung to mind first, but yeah, it's a mellow album in general.

 

The Aquatic Ambience remix stays closer to the original, should've gone with that one.

God, I miss DKC 2 and DKC 3... mis-spent youth. Can't get them on VC in China - Wii won't connect to the net. Only hope is that they re-release on 3DS.

A package of DKC 1-3 on 3DS would be kingly! Imagine those parallax layers scrolling in 3D. Imagine snow barrel blasting through that blizzard! :love: It must happen.

 

I suppose they could be done as '3D Classics' but I'd gladly stump up the cash for it at retail... and the DKL trilogy could get spruced up as 3D Classics - a wee lick of colour would go a long way to making those three into great titles. They were ahead of their time on the monochrome Gameboy.

Was quite good even though I expected something to actually happen at the end.

The first guy was spot on. A better comparison would have been SMW or Yoshi's Island.

The DKC trilogy is still my favourite series of games ever though.

The atmosphere is, and always will be, incredible. Such a powerful combination of graphics, sound and control. I think the SGI graphics are still unmatched in many games today (polygons/sprites just look bland a lot of the time) and their was no reason to not continue making 2D games in that universe. Especially since it was vast in DKC 2/3.

 

As stated, any 3DS remakes would be incredible. I'm surprised we've not seen any 16-Bit remakes yet. Early days but they'll surely come along.
