DKC3 has always been a Christmas game for me and with the festive season upon us, it would be rude not to play through it again. It's amazing what one completely cosmetic cheat code can do.
drahkon Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Never played the 3rd one in the DKC series. @Glen-i two questions: When will we finish DKC2? And will we play DKC3, too, so I can show off my amazing skills yet again?

It being a Christmas game is more to do with the fact that it was originally released in December and a friend of mine got it for Christmas. We spent all of the school Christmas holidays playing the game. Ah, to be a kid again. 1

Here's what to do: Wake up Christmas day, stay in your pyjamas, have some sweets ready, turn on DKC3 and play all day This is what I'll do on the 26th but I'll play Super Mario World, as is tradition Feel like a kid for a day 2

Ocarina of Time is another Christmas game but I already played that in June. It was the 3DS version I played so I suppose I could play the N64 version instead. 1 1

Never heard of those 3. Are Nintendo scraping the barrel, or are they actually worth playing?
darksnowman Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I had a feeling DKC 3 might be added on Christmas day but I'll take it a week early. 3

Is it me, or does that Tuff e Enuff guy look a lot like All Might? That Nightshade game looks intriguing. Nice surprise, getting a point&click game on the NES library. 1 1

All Might with Hulk's face on closer inspection... 1
Dcubed Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Super Valis 4 is a very interesting choice. First time it has ever been re-released! Looks like Telenet’s library might be up for re-release on Switch now! 1

Luckily, I think enough time has passed that going back to get the Bonuses we missed won't feel as repetitive. I'll have to see when Sephiroth drops in Smash tomorrow. I'll get back to you once I know. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 It is done! Absolute timeless classic. Special thanks to @darksnowman for the idea of using the free 7 day trial of the online subscription to access the game. 7 1

That’s a legit impressive time for 105%!
Jonnas Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 No kidding. I just checked speedrun.com, and that time could get you a good placement in that category! And you'd definitely be the only one who'd list it as "Switch VC" 1

I struggle to beat Cranky's time with the Tufst code on! Kudos!
darksnowman Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 When I said you could do it in ~4 hours @Hero-of-Time I didn't mean sub 3! Amazing. Well, that's Christmas over for another year, then. 2
Dcubed Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Seriously! @Hero of Time! Go for it! You have a legit chance of getting on the Speedrun.com leaderboards! In fact... you’re making me want to race you and beat that time... I DO have 5 days off around Xmas, and it has been a good while since I last played DKC3... Edited December 19, 2020 by Dcubed

If I started looking for shortcuts and worrying about times then it wouldn't be fun. It's why I don't faff around with time trials in games. I'm not bothered if someone finishes a game faster than me. The main focus is that I get enjoyment out of what I'm doing. 1 1

(Even considering the difference between In-Game-Time and Real Time; that's still really impressive!). Congrats regardless! Edited December 20, 2020 by Dcubed
