Makes sense. To expect a spiritual successor would mean thinking less of it if it does things differently, no matter how good it does them. "It's a good game but not a good DKC game" and all that. I didn't think of DKC when I first saw the trailer actually, it seemed to have a slower pace ...

We got a gameplay E3 video with commentary!!!

I'm more of a DKC fan than a BK fan, and in general of 2D platformets, so this game actually has me more exited than the original YL (especially since I don't have the means to play DKC Tropical Freeze so far). The game still needs and deserves to be judged on its own terms (maybe it's the music but...

I mean what would they gain from allowing their competition to use their characters if it isn't to promote a new game? I'm pretty sure all their re-releases of BK games was years ago.

Btw who else would love to see the corpse of the Lord of Games lying around or something like that?

Everybody is so understandably shocked by Banjo & Kazooie making it to Smash Bros that they may have missed the OTHER collaboration between Microsoft and Nintendo that also involves a cartoony character from a 3D Platformer: https://sickr.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/new_super_luckys_tale.png?w=7...

I hope there is at least one level that is as shockingly hard the first time as the minecart level from the original Donkey Kong Country.

Also gotta love how this is such a big deal that the Kongs and K. Rool put aside their differences to celebrate: https://66.media.tumblr.com/5577244bf3bb1d30642086e48e04ee24/tumblr_psy50t6o8W1y04ohwo1_540.gif How would you people have felt if it was the redesign from Nuts & Bolts and that sega r...

It happened!! It actually happened!!

I really appreciate they made the trailer a follow up to King K. Rool's.

YESS!!!
I wanted a 2D plattformer from Playtonic since day one but it still took me by surprise!
Looks like a relaxing playformer, that should be interesting.

The DEMO is here!!!

Awesome news! I don't usually follow video game journalism, so I may as well start with this.

Seriously, is the first Donkey Kong Country the only platformer where the water levels are relaxing instead heart-skipping stressful? It's not just the music, one feels in control the whole time and doesn't need to replendish air at any point. I even have a shark from those levels as avatar.

Nice story! Glad to know you beat the challange eventually.
I wonder, though, didn't the sharks from Treasure Trove Cove and Rusty Bucket Bay scare you more than good ol' Clanker? Because they sure terrified me.

I think the 64-bit Tonic is cool and all, but (in your opinion) how much (in percentages) does it look like a real N64 game? I'd say 20% at most. This feature is 64-bit the same way Shovel Knight is 8-bit: it technically isn't if one stops to analize it, but it feels the part while being made for m...

Here is the trailer: https://youtu.be/gk025zr3C_g
And here is a video with some gameplay: https://youtu.be/o4KJO68m_B4
I think it looks neat!

For the record, .

There has even been an updated trailer about their inclusion with an intro and some dialogue at the end (where they reference Shovel Knight):

One of the most succesful kickstarters right now seems to be OMNO , "an atmospheric exploration and puzzle adventure". It made more than twice its initial goal and there are only four days remaining as of this post. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/022/951/411/482af374317e23b0f43b83ae3eda1...

This is a thread to share and discuss any crowfunding project of interest related to video games as well as crowdfunding in general. Sadly not every project gets the atention it deserves for wathever reason, and not every person who would be interested in a project learns about it in time (even if ...

Congratulations for the success and for that awesome Laylee plush!!

Amazing news! And it's rather fitting that he plans to make it a "less literal" successor than YL.

Gotta say, I wasn't aware of that Rusty Pup game, it look very interesting. I hope this gives it more atention but I want to play it regardless of wether it gives us a Conket successor or not.
