tapedeck Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 It would ruin the guys credibility and paint him in a negative light. Would nintendo do that these days? Probably not. Why create the tikis too? It's not like he could control them. Moreover, it's waluigis time to shine...

Kav Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Having technical problems? :p I'm posting from my iPhone and it never posts how I want it to! Is is not linking at least? It's working for me...

It works fine don't worry - I just saw your original attempt that's all It was a good listen and they do seem to love it. I don't recall them talking about the music though once in the 30 mins it was on for. Would have loved to know more about that. Those video previews posted above have remixed versions of the old songs and I wonder if there are any original tracks in the game.

Llama Juice Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I haven't really cared about Wii stuff at all. This game changes that. I want this game.
nekunando Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I haven't really cared about Wii stuff at all... How dare you I want this game. Your first step to redemption
Zechs Merquise Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 New trailer. That new trailer is EPIC. This has been an incredible year for Wii!
MindFreak Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 I'm a bit annoyed by them adding the jet pack, it removes the timing needed to jump over something and jumping from platform to platform, something that actually seems to be important in at least the first came, which I am currently playing for the first time. It removes some of the difficulty (together with both monkeys having two "lifes") which one can then hope they have put into each level instead. It does seem like a fun game, though, and definately one to buy at release. I might even pay £5 extra for it and buy it in a store in Denmark instead of over the internet, so I have it on the day of release!

Not to burst your bubble, but DKC 2 and 3 had something similar to the Jetpack, and it was extra-character-dependant, like Diddy in this game. Considering the guys at Retro played the previous trilogy, I trust they'll implement it just as well. Also, I'm so hyped for this game, it's not even funny. And also Epic Yarn, Dark Dawn and Sonic Colours. Man, it's like being young again!
Llama Juice Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 How dare you Your first step to redemption Haha Trust me, I was out there launch day for the Wii, was 9th in line out of 14. The system just has disappointed me time and time again.... which is why I'm so surprised that DKCReturns interests me so much. Then again, I've been on a SNES spree. I'm playing through Super Metroid for the first time right now hahahaha.
Grazza Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 This probably looks like the best "2D" game on the Wii, because it has great graphics and the gameplay doesn't seem at all gimmicky.
Captain Falcon Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 This probably looks like the best "2D" game on the Wii, because it has great graphics and the gameplay doesn't seem at all gimmicky. Well Muramasa is 2D, looks beyond stunning and doesn't have gimmicky gameplay either so if this does live up to it's promise, it will have company from at least one game. (I know stuff like Smash and TvC is also 2D but I didn't think you were talking about fighting games)
nekunando Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wario Land: the Shake Dimension and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile are all great 2D games too in addition to Muramasa: The Demon Blade and hopefully this and Kirby's Epic Yarn The Wii has it all covered.. especially considering the Virtual Console and Wii Ware have some fantastic 2D games aswell

I am looking forward to this christmas so much, probably as much as I have since 1998 (ocarina of time). DKC Returns, Goldeneye, Epic Mickey, Black Ops, Sonic Colours....It's a very good time to be a Wii owner!
Ren of Heavens Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Woah, Game Informer scores: Donkey Kong Country Returns – 9.5 (Game of the Month) Kirby’s Epic Yarn – 9.5 GoldenEye 007 – 6.5
Retro_Link Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 Despite that being a great score, I refuse to acknowledge Game Informers reviews after that Goldeneye score (not that I ever read there website/reviews beforehand anyway)!
dazzybee Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Donkey kong and kirby 9.5?!? Oh lord, wish I'd didn't ask for this for xmas now so I could buy it at launch!!!
Ren of Heavens Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 GOTM in the hardest month of the year. PS360 reviews for comparison: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (PS3/XBOX360) – 9.25 Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3/XBOX360) – 9.0 Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (PS3/XBOX360) – 8.75
Dante Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 DKCR = 9.5 + Game of the Month: Concept - Retro Studios revives the Donkey Kong Country series and makes it better than ever Graphics - Gorgeous characters and stages from beginning to end, with some awesome silhouetted areas sprinkled throughout Sound - Familiar tunes are updated, and the new tracks fit perfectly Playability - Shaking the Wii remote to roll can be frustrating, but it's a rare blemish in a near-perfect experience Entertainment - One of the best platformers ever made, and it certainly resides amongst the Wii's top titles Replay Value - Moderately High
ReZourceman Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 "Makes it better than ever" No. WHAT?! WHY DO THEY DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shaking the Wii remote to roll Shaking the Wii remote to roll Shaking the Wii remote to roll FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I HATE STUPID ADDED IN MOTION CONTROLS. ffsSSSSs.
LostOverThere Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 "Makes it better than ever" No. Nothing like saving judgement until you've actually played it, eh?
