Mike Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Eh? His first appearance was Donkey Kong Country. Yeah, but that was still a Donkey Kong game, and the Donkey Kong and Mario franchises cross over quite a lot. I want to see more Metroid / F-Zero and even Pikmin in Brawl.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 But Metroid, F-Zero and Pikmin are all Nintendo games...and Mario is a Nintendo character...so they are Mario characters too.... I disagree with that logical statement. The reason Donkey Kong, Wario and Yoshi are considered Mario characters are because they originated as supporting characters in Mario games and later developed into primary characters with their own respective franchises. Metroid, F-Zero and Pikmin have never interacted with the Mario universe, except in Smash Bros., but that is already a cross-over franchise and thus has no relevance to the discussion (you can't use an example to prove itself).

Speedfreak Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 To be honest I think Donkey Kong has created a large enough seperate universe to be considered seperate from Mario. By your logic, considering the name of Mario's original game, you should be saying that all Mario and Yoshi characters are actually Donkey Kong characters.

ReZourceman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (To clarify, in my last post I was just dicking around being a knobber jobber) But I in no way consider Diddy a Mario spin off. DKC set a whole new universe, It was also the first appearance of Donkey Kong in his current design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Jungle Beat DK design > fucking all. Shame they went back to the shitty DKC one for Brawl and that terrible racer on the Wii. Jungle Beat Brawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Awesome! I had never considered Waluigi as a playable character, so I'm glad he's in the game in some form. Nice to see him with his tennis racket too, as a little nod to his first apperance in Mario Tennis 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob07 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Is it me or is the only difference a slight colour change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'd say: Brawl DK design >> Jungle Beat DK design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The main difference to me is the colour and the Jungle Beat one seems more fluffy. The Brawl model for DK looks just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Wait...what? Its the same design, just updated due to the current generation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Wait...what? Its the same design, just updated due to the current generation.... The Brawl one makes DK look tough. The Jungle Beat one looks like a cuddly toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The only real difference is the teeth which they took out again for Brawl Which I think's a shame because I prefer the Jungle beat look (might have something to do with the fact I think Jungle beat is incredible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mascot1063 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I don't really see much of a difference, except maybe the hair. But hey man to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James McGeachie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 A lot of people hate the toothy grins the Japanese development studios tend to give DK as he looked nothing like that in the DKC series or 64. Personally I probably prefer the Jungle Beat model though simply because the fur in Brawl looks awful, both the colour and the utterly strange texture.

Gizmo Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Apparently there is some countdown on some website which ends roughly when the Brawl website gets updated. Apparently tomorrow is MegaMans 20th birthday. People are putting these two things together to come to the conclusion that tomorrow MegaMan will be revealed.

Gatoman Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 it only seems logical that he would be in brawl, but i wonder what form we'll get? classic or X? i like both of them, but my fav's X, but classic seems more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
