Assuming the NX is backwards compatible with Wii U games, it should be on it, right? Digital Wii games aren't purchasable on the Wii U, so it's hard to say. Technically they are, you just have to go into the Wii Mode's Wii Shop Channel. For all we know, the NX could just be a pitching machine with ...

I'm 29. My parents got an NES shortly after I was born. We had the Wizards & Warriors games, which I really like. Then the SNES with the DKC and Battletoads games. Then the n64 with DK64, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Then the gamecube with Starfox Adventures. Then Rare got sold to microsoft and m...

I don't think Playtonic should make a new 2D DKC game, as I think Retro is doing just fine. Sigh... it's too bad so many people like Retro's DKC games. It sucks having unpopular opinions. Oh, yeah, and the lack of K. Rool and the Kremlins is another thing I didn't like about the Retro Studios DKC g...

Activision didn't do the series justice at all. Someone else should have a pop at it. Neither did EA. Hmm... Who developed a good Bond game before Activision and EA? :P The guys who are now at Crytek UK. :( I don't really care what Rare is working on these days. I've never owned an Xbox system and ...

I played through Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii a couple years ago, and I think Retro did a fantastic job. I don't have the appropriate hardware yet, but I'm looking forward to when I finally get a chance to play Tropical Freeze as well. Eh... yeah. I feel like Retro Studios' DKC games are ...

If Nintendo were to approach Playtonic to make a new DKC game for them, should they do it?


I think so.


After Yooka-Laylee, of course.

I've known Starfox since the SNES version. I like Zelda games more than I like the Starfox games, but I still very much enjoy Starfox 64. So, yes, I understand how it's not a good "Starfox" game, but for me it was great. It wasn't too in depth that I get bored of being in menus and junk an...

I'm against voice acting. I can read faster than it takes for them to read the dialog to me. That way, I can get back to gaming asap.

#3 Quest based Platformer / RPG with more of a focus on RPG elements. Basically Zelda gameplay with a new Hero That could be cool. Maybe something like what a modern day Wizards & Warriors would be like, or Starfox Adventures, just with more RPG elements. I like that. And it could fit in with t...

I voted FPS. I know this isn't the GoldenEye and Perfect Dark crew at Playtonic (are there?), but I really like those games and part of the reason is how they played. Each stage played out kind of like Super Mario 64, where it's kind of like an adventure game, instead of like all the generic FPS tod...

How is removing her agility a bad thing? Other than the gimmicky speed booster in Super Metroid, the entire series relies on slowly navigating foreign, alien landscapes, and part of what makes metroids horrifying in the games they're well-portrayed in (the original Metroid, MP1, MP3) is how they mo...

We wouldn't have the awful Retro Studios DKC games. I rather liked Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but you're entitled to your opinion. lol. Thank you for being kind about my negative opinion. I have sort of a love/hate relationship with all of Retro's games. T...

Candy Kong. Just her in general.

More specifically, though, in DK64, Candy tells you to come closer so she can show you how to use your instrument.

Maybe I'm just making that one dirty...

Until Rare is working with Nintendo again, I don't care what they do.

I do hope for all you Banjo-Kazooie fans that you get your third game in the series, regardless of what platform it's on.

Find a seat and get comfortable, because I'll post the entire story what really happened that led into the buyout, and afterwards in this spoiler. The End of a Partnership http://www.dromble.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/conker-rare.jpg Rare Ltd., also known as Rareware, was one of the first devel...

If there are any small platforms you need to land on, I don't think those real shadows work so well. When the shadow is 10m off to your left when you're 10m in the air and you're trying to land on a 0.5m x 0.5m block (let's assume Yooka takes up an area of about 0.2m). Overshooting seems like it co...

I have no idea what my first game was. I've been playing video games since before I can remember. The farthest back I can remember is having an Atari 2600 and an NES. But pretty much once we got the NES, we put the Atari 2600 away and never touched it again. Then we got the SNES, N64 and GameCube. T...

It's great for the fans but this is stupid if nintendo adds BK business wise. I have a feeling that Microsoft will just use BK to make all the wii u and 3dd owners flock over to Xbox one when they release a BK game. Microsoft only gains from this. I agree. It's like when they put Snake in Brawl to ...

Battletoads & Double Dragon (SNES) - Stage 5 Donkey Kong Country - Fear Factory Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbrush Symphony Wizards & Warriors - Caves Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II - Final Battle Of course, I like a lot of the music in Rare's games, but these are the ones that have ...

Of course Phil Spencer doesn't have a problem with it. Xbox would just make money off of a Nintendo game.
