To see Nintendo reviving the series that got me into gaming when I was but a young boy starting to pick up a controller brings a warm feeling to my heart. Thanks for making more DKC games after Returns, Nintendo! Your fanbase appreciates it!!
I was a boy, but I always played as Dixie Kong. Because hair. Also I thought she was a boy with long hair for a long time, but mostly because floating around with the hair was great. Especially when Diddy Kong just sort of floated around behind you with his fingers or something.
So I was mildly excited for this game after the Nintendo Direct. This Developer Direct got me a bit more excited. But then I decided to catch up on Donkey Kong Country Returns (didn't play it until a few weeks ago). Now I'm REALLY excited for this game. Retro is REALLY good at this platforming business and the difficulty curves alongside it, by God.
I know, and I'm glad Tropical Freeze is changing that. From what we know so far, there's Dixie Kong, and with the revival of underwater levels, they might even bring back Enguarde.
The current DK was Cranky's grandson when Rare were making the games. It was after they were no longer making them that Nintendo went and said something about him being Cranky's son and confusing everyone. I agree with you about DK Jr. being the 4th playable character being interesting. Some people say Cranky could be the 4th character but not really sure how that would work seeing as he needs a cane to get around. Maybe he could use the cane as a pogo stick like Scrooge in the Ducktales game.
I am here from 2020, and yes, this game was amazing and challenging, also, they made a port to the console that replaced the Wii U called Nintendo Switch, and by the way, the secret character that he said could't speak about....was Cranky Kong, and for the Switch version they added Funky Kong
DK64 was probably my favourite N64 game, no game has topped the feeling of 100 percenting it. The president of Camelot said he would love to make a sequel to it about a year ago, I really hope it happens.
You can't really compare the two. I played IWBTG as well, but that game is all about random shenanigans you don't see coming and precise actions. You get hit, you die. In DKCR you always see what's coming for you. There are no "out of the blue" moments - if you pay attention you will get through almost anything alive. And you also have health points in normal mode. Big difference.
Kremlings were in a DK game don't remember the name, but it featured Kremlings and was on the Wii. They are still there, but Nintendo are trying a new approach.
i think this game may be a hidden reference to future donkey kong games: look at the scenes where the camera moves so you can see the level in 3d: is retro studios planning to make a new 3d donkey kong like donkey kong 64, but with the "new" design?
I personally wish for the next DKC to be more challenging. Returns had it's life-consuming moments towards the end, but was overall really simple. Especially the bosses, despite being creative, could at least have used far more health points.
I'm calling the fourth character being Kiddy and he'll function the same way as Donkey Kong (as in Diddy and Dixie can ride his back.) This will make four player co-op more inviting.
well the mirror mode boss fights and kong-levels are pretty challenging in DKCR but I like the challenge. And if you try to get shiny gold medals on all speedruns you can have a lot of play time :p
He has a jet pack that let's him float for a second or two and he also has a peanut gun that shoots peanuts at enemies. Dixie can 'double jump' by floating upwards with her pony tail.
Who said I never played the original DKC trilogy? One-hit KOs aren't the only element that makes platformers hard, especially if you try to collect all of the KONG letters and Puzzle Pieces in Returns.
Given that Diddy and Dixie are playable, both are 'light weight' characters, so I'm thinking the new unknown character would be more akin to Donkey Kong, being a heavy weight. The possible options? (I'm only guessing here!) Kiddie, Chunky, Funky, Lanky, Tiny (her new design), Cranky, or a completely different character we haven't seen before
Hmm. Looking at which Kong characters Nintendo has been using in other games. Funky , Cranky or Tiny seem most likely. On the other hand. Kiddy might get a second chance because they included Dixie. We'll find out soon enough.
CaptainN101 technically he is modern day Donkey Kong’s father because he is the son of Cranky the original Donkey Kong who is modern day DK’s grandfather
DKCR had Super Kong, and Tropical Freeze likely will as well. I hope, even if they have "New Mode" like the 3D re-release, they'll have a difficulty level that matches Returns.
Maybe Nintendo could pull a surprise move, and bring back K. Rool at the last second. IMO, that's what they should've done with the Golden Temple. Make you randomly fight King K. Rool at the end, seeing as how the whole level was pretty random.
In the demo of the game, DK had three hearts, but in the trailer, he had two. So it will probably have the two modes like in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

yeeeah... i love donkey kong old games... ill try to enjoy this when i get my wiiu
While Kiddy is probably the most likely fourth character and it'd be nice for him to appear in another game after so long, I think Lanky would be good too.
Retro will do a fine job. They haven't disappointed me yet with any game. Plus it has David Wise as the composer who did the original games. The only addition I can think of that would I would really want back is the addition of animal partners again. DKCR had Rambi and everything but it felt lacking without the others. I don't know. Just me I guess. I'm still looking forward to this.
One more character, hmm! I'm guessing it'll be a brand new member of the Kong Family; most likely another smallish one who can climb on DK's back and give him a new ability! But then again, maybe they'll try something different, like Funky Kong; instead of riding on DK's back (since he'd be too big) how about he follows closely behind and using their combined strength they can break through walls that the other Kongs can't? I'm so excited, I can't wait to see who it is!
Dude, I'm a dude, and I would play the CRAP out of Dixie, I freaking love her! That improved ponytail spin sounds awesome, too! This whole game sounds awesome! Makes me feel bad to see people disappointed about this. Yeah yeah, we were expecting something different from Retro, but this is still cool!
Funky Kong FTW! :D I mean he HAS appeared in several other games with DK and Diddy (Mario Kart Wii and Mario Baseball Super Sluggers, also with Dixie) Could be Tiny also, but best guess is definitely Funky.
I really like how the design of the normal "Viking" enimies don't have a helmet with horns on them because, The real nordic Vikings never had horns on thier helmet's. But I can understand that they are having Horns on the boss enimies, They look alot more intiminating then. :P
Part of me wants this 4th playable character to be new. Another par wants it to be Kiddy Kong. But want I really want to see is one of the bears from DKC3 as a playable character. That would be just the best.
It's a Donkey Kong game. If you're not playing it for the ball gripping difficulty and fantastic visuals, you aren't actually playing the game. Unless it's DK64, then you play it to find some mother fucking golden bananas.
I forgot were I read it, but they are probably putting Ridley and King K. Rool in Super Smash Brothers 4. Ridley in his Metroid other M look, and King K. Rool in a new design from an upcoming Donkey Kong.
I want Funky Kong!
Well you kind of did get funky Kong
on the switch port.
I guess Nintendo acknowledged your comment
To see Nintendo reviving the series that got me into gaming when I was but a young boy starting to pick up a controller brings a warm feeling to my heart. Thanks for making more DKC games after Returns, Nintendo! Your fanbase appreciates it!!
I was at the E3 where this was announced and played it on the show floor. Can't believe it was nine years ago... Great memories.
I got a little teary eyed seeing DK swim again, and Dixie Kong returning just flat out makes my day!
I was a boy, but I always played as Dixie Kong. Because hair.
Also I thought she was a boy with long hair for a long time, but mostly because floating around with the hair was great. Especially when Diddy Kong just sort of floated around behind you with his fingers or something.
And now available for the Switch including the Funky Mode.
I'm definitely getting a Wii U now!
Fly Wright do it pls

But then I decided to catch up on Donkey Kong Country Returns (didn't play it until a few weeks ago). Now I'm REALLY excited for this game.

i love these guys at Nintendo, they put so much effort into their work
Also, The underwater stages were some of my favorites on the original ones, i didn't knew why they taked them out of they wii one.
IMO, I go with Dixie, I freaking love her! She's adorable, AND she's probably the most useful character in the game!
I know, and I'm glad Tropical Freeze is changing that. From what we know so far, there's Dixie Kong, and with the revival of underwater levels, they might even bring back Enguarde.
The pluck & throw mechanic was also used in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Being a Donkey Kong game, it's funny how this feature is brought back.
Best 2D platfrmer ever made
The 4th playable character is cranky kong and there is a 5th playable character As well.
No just 4
Yes 5 now
The current DK was Cranky's grandson when Rare were making the games. It was after they were no longer making them that Nintendo went and said something about him being Cranky's son and confusing everyone. I agree with you about DK Jr. being the 4th playable character being interesting. Some people say Cranky could be the 4th character but not really sure how that would work seeing as he needs a cane to get around. Maybe he could use the cane as a pogo stick like Scrooge in the Ducktales game.
Same here! Love Diddy & Dixie team. Hope we can switch between who we want to play as...
im lovin DK country on 3DS, Luigis mansion, castlevania mirror of fate, street fighter 4 all on 3DS. can't wait for this tropical freeze as well.
I am so glad that Nintendo is still continuing on the Donkey Kong Country series. Nintendo, you guy's man. :)
It says at the beginning same dev as DKCR and the Metroid Prime trilogy, so yes.
I am here from 2020, and yes, this game was amazing and challenging, also, they made a port to the console that replaced the Wii U called Nintendo Switch, and by the way, the secret character that he said could't speak about....was Cranky Kong, and for the Switch version they added Funky Kong

david wise's music is true art. Listen Stickerbrush Symphony, and Mining Melancholy.
Kremlings were in a DK game don't remember the name, but it featured Kremlings and was on the Wii. They are still there, but Nintendo are trying a new approach.
i think this game may be a hidden reference to future donkey kong games: look at the scenes where the camera moves so you can see the level in 3d: is retro studios planning to make a new 3d donkey kong like donkey kong 64, but with the "new" design?
Are you sure about that? K. Rool was in is Mario Super Sluggers, and that was released in 2008, well after Rare left Nintendo.
I personally wish for the next DKC to be more challenging. Returns had it's life-consuming moments towards the end, but was overall really simple. Especially the bosses, despite being creative, could at least have used far more health points.
Dixie was the best, with the helicopter hair spin and everything DKC 2 was my fav.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze with cameo appearances by the Ice Climbers! Now that would be a spectacular surprise, they need their own game.
I'm calling the fourth character being Kiddy and he'll function the same way as Donkey Kong (as in Diddy and Dixie can ride his back.) This will make four player co-op more inviting.
This game is dripping with fun. The Fur on donkey kong lookes really great!
So glad more characters are being added.
I hope it's Lanky Kong, my favorite character from DK
DKCR was like the best 2D platformer since DKC2 and Yoshi's Island. Can't wait
Really liking the subtle changes! Changing the characters is quite DK64-like
well the mirror mode boss fights and kong-levels are pretty challenging in DKCR but I like the challenge. And if you try to get shiny gold medals on all speedruns you can have a lot of play time :p
He has a jet pack that let's him float for a second or two and he also has a peanut gun that shoots peanuts at enemies. Dixie can 'double jump' by floating upwards with her pony tail.

yup retro will be working on this just like the previous one.
Given that Diddy and Dixie are playable, both are 'light weight' characters, so I'm thinking the new unknown character would be more akin to Donkey Kong, being a heavy weight.
The possible options? (I'm only guessing here!)
Kiddie, Chunky, Funky, Lanky, Tiny (her new design), Cranky, or a completely different character we haven't seen before
Hmm. Looking at which Kong characters Nintendo has been using in other games.
Funky , Cranky or Tiny seem most likely.
On the other hand. Kiddy might get a second chance because they included Dixie. We'll find out soon enough.
Bring back Donkey Kong JR already as a playable character !!!!
CaptainN101 technically he is modern day Donkey Kong’s father because he is the son of Cranky the original Donkey Kong who is modern day DK’s grandfather
I just realized how dope a metroid game would be on the wii u.
Tanabe, of course I'll try it out. It looks like it'll be everything a sequel should be.
Cranky Kong. His special move is poking enemies with his cane and telling them how bad they play as AI.
Hope there is Limited Edition with the Classic DKC trilogy or DKCR with Gamepad/Pro Controller controls option.
omg that background music!!! I MISS IT!!!
it would make sense, since that would be the only other kong playable from the retro DKC games.
DKCR had Super Kong, and Tropical Freeze likely will as well. I hope, even if they have "New Mode" like the 3D re-release, they'll have a difficulty level that matches Returns.
"Sea creatures like penguins and polar bears."
ya, they live a lot f their lived in the ocean. Hes not wrong. Polar bears have webbing between their claws for swimming.
Ok what we all need now is for Rare to come back to Nintendo and make this game amazing
Simply can't wait for this game to come out.
Please bring back more animal buddies! Enguarde, the spider with sneakers, the snake, whatever you can:D
Can't believe The kongs are facing penguins this time around...never saw that coming...
these developer directs are fantastic. perfect idea
David Wise doing the music. I'm sold.
There are 5 island plus the DK one, likely, 6 bosses. So, the seal is only one of the 6 bosses.
Maybe Nintendo could pull a surprise move, and bring back K. Rool at the last second. IMO, that's what they should've done with the Golden Temple. Make you randomly fight King K. Rool at the end, seeing as how the whole level was pretty random.
Im not usually a fan of DK, and I wasnt too excited for this title's announcement. But this video actually really made me want to get it...
0:56 This guy looks like he :
"Huh? What are you doing in my hause ?!
xD
They live in arctic areas... also what do you think the boat is for?
The 4th character is Samus Aran.
It'd be amazing if we got to go back to Crocodile Isle, with remastered Donkey Kong Country 2 music
In the demo of the game, DK had three hearts, but in the trailer, he had two. So it will probably have the two modes like in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.
yeeeah... i love donkey kong old games... ill try to enjoy this when i get my wiiu
While Kiddy is probably the most likely fourth character and it'd be nice for him to appear in another game after so long, I think Lanky would be good too.
Pause at 2:27 Look between Dixies legs.
Once seen, it can't be unseen.
Retro will do a fine job. They haven't disappointed me yet with any game. Plus it has David Wise as the composer who did the original games.
The only addition I can think of that would I would really want back is the addition of animal partners again. DKCR had Rambi and everything but it felt lacking without the others. I don't know. Just me I guess. I'm still looking forward to this.

I'm so excited, I can't wait to see who it is!
My favorite sea creatures are crocodiles and alligators, I wonder if they'll ever be in DK.
Yes, he said it in about the middle of the video
nintendo owns all characters ever introduced in the dk series
Wait I just loaded up the video and I checked the comments real quick.. there is a fourth character!?
King K Rool has to be in this game. A cameo, playable, ANYTHING!
Dude, I'm a dude, and I would play the CRAP out of Dixie, I freaking love her! That improved ponytail spin sounds awesome, too! This whole game sounds awesome! Makes me feel bad to see people disappointed about this.
Yeah yeah, we were expecting something different from Retro, but this is still cool!
Dixie Kong + David Wise doing the music = Sold, day 1 purchase.
Ignore my reply, wrong video. Nintendo uploaded so many videos and I lost track of which one I was watching...
This is the game I am most excited about buying that was shown at e3
Funky Kong FTW! :D I mean he HAS appeared in several other games with DK and Diddy (Mario Kart Wii and Mario Baseball Super Sluggers, also with Dixie) Could be Tiny also, but best guess is definitely Funky.
We all miss it =/
I want to be able to play as Diddy or Dixie in single player too! Or perhaps online co-op
I really like how the design of the normal "Viking" enimies don't have a helmet with horns on them because, The real nordic Vikings never had horns on thier helmet's.
But I can understand that they are having Horns on the boss enimies, They look alot more intiminating then. :P
The bananas(from the older Nintendo direct)! It was sign from Nintendo! I knew it all along!
Part of me wants this 4th playable character to be new. Another par wants it to be Kiddy Kong. But want I really want to see is one of the bears from DKC3 as a playable character. That would be just the best.
That fourth character better be the pig from all the checkpoints...
...if so, I will start waiting in line for this game right now.
I'm so excited for this game!! Funky Kong or Kiddy Kong? Or will Funky help travel between islands?
I don't mind having other characters to play but I really want there to be donkey kong playable no matter what.
that game is rumored to be created for the WII U
No, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D that was just released 2 weeks ago!!
Nintendo kicked ass at E3 cant wait.
Cranky Kong: Back in my day, we had to play through the levels ourselves!
David Wise is back? Fuck yeah dude.
I hope grabbing will be better used than blowing. It was really only used a few times, and nothing more.
Kiddy kong was a good character it would be pretty good if he came back
It's a Donkey Kong game.
If you're not playing it for the ball gripping difficulty and fantastic visuals, you aren't actually playing the game. Unless it's DK64, then you play it to find some mother fucking golden bananas.
It's about time Cranky shows us the skills needed for those videogames from old times, don't you think?
Some 3D portions like Donkey Kong 64 would be cool.
This game looks amazing. Can't wait.
I forgot were I read it, but they are probably putting Ridley and King K. Rool in Super Smash Brothers 4. Ridley in his Metroid other M look, and King K. Rool in a new design from an upcoming Donkey Kong.
