Figured it'd be nice to have a spot to talk about this. Link is to the upcoming direct on their channel.

People can also post articles after the fact, I don't think our community is so active that I worry about clogging the feed. But we'll see. I'm excited!

New 3D DK game

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

No price??????

[–] Hisnitch@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Donkey Kong is back. Now all we need is an announcement of a new Banjo-Kazooie and the boys will be back for good.

[–] Hisnitch@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

So, that was a way more loaded direct then I though it would be. Absolutely stacked with the amount of games here for a new generation.

No new Nier game...

Am I the only one that felt like DK didn't really feet right? The game looked good, but to me he stood out like a saw thumb even in the Mario Kart trailer. haha maybe I'm just an old man now but its odd because the link and Mario re designs have always been fine for me.

[–] SteposVenzny@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Donkey Kong Country's Donkey Kong wasn't actually the Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong. I kinda hope this redesign is gonna be justified by saying he's a third one.

[–] 0x1C3B00DA@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The donkey kong wer'e all familiar with is the third one. DK 1/Cranky is from Donkey Kong (the one with Jumpman/Mario). DK jr from Donkey Kong Jr. DK III is from Country onwards

[–] SteposVenzny@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t count Jr because he has a Jr in his name. The other two are just Donkey Kong.

[–] 0x1C3B00DA@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's called Donkey Kong Jr. because he's the son of the first Donkey Kong. His name is still Donkey Kong. And this is all the canon of the games. In DK 64, Cranky repeatedly calls DK his grandson and it's been too long since I've played/read them but I'm pretty sure this is all stated in the Donkey Kong Country games and written material for the games.

I'm not a fan. He looks weird

Hades 2 will be a title on Switch 2

[–] Hisnitch@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

So, like, is this actually going to be in the same storyline as BotW and TotK, or is going to be the same as the last time where it goes full alternate reality?

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago
