    I think I'll share my favorite Donkey Kong games as well: 3) Donkey Kong (Game Boy) - Honestly, I find this game to be an absolute marvel. It fakes you out by seeming to merely be a black-and-white remake (demake?) of the original arcade Donkey Kong, until it reveals itself to have 90+ more stages of pure puzzle-platforming genius. Using only the D-pad and two buttons, the developers somehow managed to give the player a vast array of moves and jumps to use at any time. Much like Link's Awakening and Pokemon Gold/Silver, it still kind of blows my mind that the developers fit this thing into a humble Game Boy cartridge. 2) Donkey Kong Country 2 - The pinnacle of the original DKC trilogy (though I still have big soft spots for 1 and 3), it managed to iron out most of the rougher issues from the first game while introducing a whole bunch of new ideas and really testing your platforming skills. I still listen to David Wise's music from this game all the time. Also, it introduced Dixie, my favorite member of the Kong clan. 1) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - If it's not the best side-scrolling platformer I've ever played, it's darn near close. It's tough as nails while being completely fair, with long levels that are constantly evolving and building on their own ideas, and tons of well-hidden secrets that encourage you to both hone your skills and explore every nook and cranny of its beautiful world. And Wise's soundtrack is just gorgeous

    Tropical freeze definitely did a port right. Since the game was difficult there were a few things added to allow more novice players to enjoy the game in its entirely without actually the game doing everything itself (like guide Kong is Returns) or making you overpowered to the point of the level not being challenging one bit(like the invincible tunuki leaf in 3d land, 3d world, and NSMB 2).But also not stripping anything out of the level design or bosses to make it easier so more experienced players or people who want a challenge can enjoy the game exactly how it was on the WII U. Also most things that the original one on the WII U suffered form were fixed on the switch version (loading times a big one). It is also amazing how I can bring this great game with me on the go(even though there are its own problems with portable mode,I think it is worth it IMO)

    TheFantasticJoe those are the only Rare characters that fit the “Nintendo Donkey Kong” look, though. Which would explain why they felt they could get away with just using those. Note the complete absence of Lanky, Chunky, K. Rool, every single DKC original enemy and bosses, every single DK64 original enemy and bosses, so on and so on.

    It's sad because this game is one of, if not, the best platformers ever. Different mechanics kept it fresh and the only complaint I had was that it didn't have Kremlins. It sold 1 mil which isn't bad I suppose, but not what it deserves, this Switch version deserves to sell well, yet Nintendo pushes a $60 price tag on an older game.. I'll still be getting it, have them all, just sad it's getting heat for the price.

    Donkey Kong Fan I always thought that Mario Kart was priced fairly since it had all of the DLC, some balance/mechanical tweaks and a substantial expansion to the vs mode for the same debut price as the original game (which never received a price drop). DKTF debuted at $50 and dropped to $20, the port only added a single additional playable character and is $60. That's a complete rip off.

    The bias against the Rare DKC trilogy seems to be widespread at Nintendo, and we cannot understand why. King K Rool and the Kremlings oozed a sense of humor and personality. The secret bonus rooms led to collectables that unlocked completely new worlds. The animal buddies provided more game-changing play styles. The art direction and graphics led to a moodier atmosphere with a darker spin. To we robots, the original trilogy (particularly 2 and 3) is among our top games of all time and those key elements have been repeatedly ignored by the company. We cannot compute--we cannot compute!

    Nintendo really should consider developing a "Donkey Kong Country Maker" for the Nintendo Switch in the same vein as Super Mario Maker. Using all 5 game styles from DKC1,2,3, DKC Returns, and DKC Tropical Freeze, all levels, all the level theme musics, enemies, animal friends, all 5 Kongs being playable, etc.

    The only thing is, most 2D games use blocks and tiles. Whereas DKC games try to go for naturalistic level design instead, which would be tough to emulate in a DKC level creator.

    I've been hearing about this legendary "Kremling kutoff" online for ages, didn't know it was from this podcast. It's really not as egregious as people made out. He literally said "oh absolutely, those guys!" and then moved on. Not like he interrupted her or ignored her entirely. And they probably had to be quiet about Kremling questions because K Rool was planned for Smash since 2015.... not to mention being respectful about Retro's Snowmads. But hindsight is 20/20. As for "they ignored the classics".... one of the guys said his favorite Kong was Kiddy of all people. There's actually a lot of people who consider other stuff like the arcade games, spinoffs, etc to be their faves. They still discussed the classics briefly but they had to acknowledge more than just the original trilogy, especially when they're not trying to shine a negative spotlight on Retro and all the Rare stuff that's missing.
