I love how on the list for Dixie's beta names, for Demi-God, there's a note that says "surely, this is it!" followed immediately by "(OK, perhaps not)"

4:18 Could you imagine the third game with that name? Donkey Kong Country 3: Demgirls, Dey All Love Me Kong's Double Trouble!

There's something missing in the top right corner of the thumbnail. We need something new there... something funky, something fresh.

kevinfromsales9445 Thats logical and makes sense. From a business point of view. But there was an interview with Miyamoto before where he said Nintendo was a Kyoto company, and theres a culture in Kyoto to be trendsetters. After hearing that then finding out they didnt keep Rare's other IPs (which is contrary to the usual modus operandi of western publishers) it made sense. To me at least. Also using the characters by a western game dev would go against their game design philosophy. Theres a vid on how they made Splatoon, the characters, the music it used and how they dressed. That made all the elements feel "organic." Like what characters would make sense shooting ink, or what is associated with paint (grafitti), and what tracks goes well with grafitti (punk).

@@WhatIsMatter101 Yeah, Nintendo is very much based on tradition and I really like that but they sure kept Diddy Kong and Krystal and the entirety of the DKC and Dinosaur Planet lore and characters while not doing much with those. Losing Rare, or at least their IPs, was an epic fail and a wasted opportunity in my opinion. We could've seen Banjo Threeie, Conker and Perfect Dark on the GameCube, Donkey Kong Country 4? And can you imagine something like Kinect and Viva Piñata on the Wii which was already killing it with Wii Sports? Lots of missed chances there. Same goes for Sony not keeping Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Monster Hunter, etc. exclusive and Microsoft for not doing anything at all with the current game companies and games exclusivity they own. Edit: Nintendo also owns Eternal Darkness which is a great game and nothing has come of it ever since the GameCube.

@WhatIsMatter101

@Kevinfromsales9445 With regards to Eternal Darkness, you should try to find some stuff about its head Denis Dyack. Long story short: DD was boasting bout his closeness to Nintendo heads, then wanted to end their exclusivity with Nintendo after weak sales in GameCube. Then made an ambitious game using new game engine. Complained about the game engine after the game failed and sued Epic games for "unfair practices" for supposedly witholding tech from Silicon Knights, then made a new game engine of their own But ended up getting sued by Epic instead, lost and had gone bankrupt. The reason? Unreal code in SK's game engine and games. Nintendo probably just doesnt wanna deal with people who could put them at a severe disadvantage.

Easily one of the greatest video game franchises to date. Unparalleled soundtracks and level design that still hold up well today. This was a video I've been waiting for from you guys! Especially with the news of tropical freeze bring ported over to the switch, this was great timing. Hopefully we manage to get a new entry in a couple years. :)

2:47 "The third best seller for the Super Nintendo, second only to Super Mario All-Stars and Mario World" ...how can it be SECOND to those games, when it's the THIRD?

"In 2011 an ex-rare employee under the pseudonym 'STAMPORZ' got in touch with the site 'DK VINE' and talked about the trilogies development" Huh, wonder who 'STAMPORZ' is... *EYES TIM AND CHRIS SUSPICIOUSLY*

When mentioning specific tracks, it would be really nice to play a small bit, even if just 3-5 seconds, so viewers know which one you are referring to. ex: 2:10, 2:22

This is great! I didn't know mostly all of this stuff. It really gives a good look to how these fun games were put together. This is tight, thanks for the vid yo!

Great video as always! DKC will always be an undeniable classic.

Still waiting for the DYKG episode on the Tales series. Acknowledge the Chrono Trigger episode poll already. 4:39 I'm surprised Microsoft even allowed that. You'd think they would have wanted their developers full attention to be on developing for their consoles.

I've still got my "Donkey Kong Country Exposed" VHS! I must have watched that damn thing 100 times through the years.

I never played Donkey Kong Country until this year and it’s instantly becoming one of my favorite games. That goes to show you that a great doesn’t need to have the graphics of Uncharted 4 or the multiplayer of Halo 2, it just needs to have some heart and soul in it.

"Dem girls dey all love me Kong" is my favourite character.

2:34 Wrong, DKC came out in America before the UK, with the game coming out in the UK on November 24th, 1994, America got it 3 days earlier on November 21st.

Didn't realize the DKC GBA versions were done from scratch. Was playing around with them on my retropie and couldn't get beyond the bright colors and distorted sound. But man...The effort that went in to them makes we want to play through them.

I like how zig and zag was a big inspiration in the Rare office as they were going to name Dixie after their demb girls all love me.

Ayyyy DK Vine represent. My man Jeremy Thorn was killing it.

3:30 Kudgel is a world 3 boss FYI

Such a damn good game, never gets old. Nostalgia overload!

Nobody seem to mention this... The Eu Version of Donkey Kong Country is different. For Starters, there are no blue or green life balloons there. They are all red ones and they only give one life. Second, the stage Platform Perils that have the invincible gray Krusha enemy, only offer TNT barrels to beat them. On the good side, this makes them awesome since they can only be defeated with an overkill, on the other hand TNT barrels don't roll.

YES! It's been a while since the last Donkey Kong video :D

I still have my Donkey Kong Country VHS tape from Nintendo Power that was sent to me in the Fall of 1994 and I knew right then and there that the game would become a masterpiece and is still my favorite DKC.

I love how the name list has "Hope we can use this one" after the name of Hooter.

4:25 that thing totally isn't creepy at all with it's soul seeking eyes and skinned looking legs

New Funky Mode!

What are the odds that I just watched a Donkey Country speedrun for the first time of my life a few hours ago today lol

"New Megaman game - Put a Peter Molyneux video" "DK gets featured in a Mario game - HEY DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DK CREW!?"

I remember just monkeying around and having a barrel of laughs with this game

6:15 iirc David Wise didn had to compose new tracks because they had the copyright anyway. He claimed that the soundtrack wouldn't sound good on a GBA because it has too many deep tones. So he composed a new one.... I guess he didn't want to port someone else's compositions

Did you know gaming with new funky mode.

Did You Know Gaming? - Psychonauts

For a second it felt like it was an automated voice like Cortana reading the script. Is it a real person... for real? xD

6:10 you mention that there were two soundtracks, but the final cartridge didn’t have enough space for both. So which one made it in? The new ones by David or the originals by Nova?

The DKC3 advanced soundtrack was primarily remade because Novakovic's DKC3 soundtrack had a lot of low tones that the speaker of the GBA couldn't handle.

Hi! Would it be possible to make any DYKG about Space Quest / Roger Wilco? Really enjoying your clips over here :)

My favorite game series of all time. Love it to death. DKC2 is my personal favorite.

Man, i remember that VHS tape. Dude always looked like Diedrich Bader From the drew carry show to me.

0:12 I am almost positive he said "Donkuments" at this point

"Dickylicky", "Danus", "Damn, these are crap names", "Dem girls, dey all love me" I fucking love this xD

I can't watch or hear the intro to DKC1 without thinking of Vinny's corruptions.

happy 40th anniversary donkey kong!!! :3

Why does he talk like _THAT???_

This is the episode ive been weighting four...for soooo laung! amazing coverage! thank you !! love

Donkey Kong: Monkey Mayhem? Sounds like a neat Simulator Ride.

That was quick! Good thing that you guys made a long video game subject just like you guys used too. DYKG Extra is okay, but someone it can be too overdone. For the next full video game topic, try to feature more non-Nintendo games. There are other video game titles outside from the Nintendo IPs that deserve its spotlight. And just because the game's interest is currently trending, does not mean you need to make a video out of it immediately.

I always expect this guy to tell me "up next is Pepper Ann, followed by Disney's Doug" at the end of each video.

I still have that Donkey Kong Exposed vhs.

My favorite game series of all time.

I had to watch the video muted because of the speaker. Of course, I missed the facts but... nice gameplay :)

DYKG! Now with new FUNKY MODE!

We need these games on the Switch's VC. When the Switch gets the VC.

Candy Kong was almost Honey Kong? That’s almost the exact situation as Fighting Vipers. DKC was a year two before that game, but Candy in that game was named Honey in Japan. Weird coincidence considering Sega and Nintendo were bitter rivals at the time, and Rare being in England, it’s really unlikely that AM2 would have known about it back in Tokyo.

Funky Kong sure knows how to keep his cool
