Tysm! Its been a long wait after tropical freeze so its awesome to finally watch you complete the Retro Studios monkey saga. If you're yearning for more after completing DKCRHD: you still haven't completed the golden temple levels in Tropical Freeze...
I haven’t played this since around the time it originally came out so I bought a copy to give it another go but as soon as I finished up with the first world I saw that you were live streaming so I put my own play through on hold to catch the live. I loved the play through of Tropical Freeze and can’t wait to see the rest of this.
Man, this HD remake has really made me realize how gorgeous this game can be. I don’t remember the Beach world looking so vibrant and with all of those cool mountains on the water
Ah, thank you for that. Very enjoyable to watch. Best way to start the Weekend. Hope we see you finish the Game, the tropical freeze playthrough was one of the best.
4:35 I just checked a quick pic of him and he reminded me of the original DK look with the sunken in dark eye sockets and no huge snout face. Cool throwback!
Glad Ryu has been enjoying this game! It's a solid pure platformer! Donkey Kong usually gets some of the most tricky platforming out of Nintendo's mascot games. Not to say Mario or Yoshi don't have their fair share of tricky levels in their games, but Donkey Kong's games' usually ramp up in difficulty much quicker.
I'm with Ryu about motion controls. I know it was the gimmick of the Wii era, but not everyone wanted to play using motion controls. Nintendo sometimes just shoehorned motion controls in, but it really didn't add anything to the experience. In some cases, the motion controls became a hinderance to play because of it.
Dkc3 is was EXTREMELY under rated imo. Not really by players, but sales performance. It just released right as n64 was about to come out and didnt sale nearly as good as it would have. One of my all time fave games for sure
Donkey Kong Country 3 is awesome! I like the variety in levels. Hopefully, Ryu will play that next. Though, I am curious to see how Ryu eventually reacts to Donkey Kong 64, too.
Leaks have Switch 2 being 4 times stronger then the Switch 1. It's between PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S in power. The thing is, with DLSS it will be able to close the gap with PS5 and XSX fairly decently. Though I wish people would get a functioning brain and realize power is NOT important. Technology has hit the cap, there will never be a huge visual leap ever again.
Fun stream and interesting game. Love the variety and the longer streams lately, but know that likely won't be the standard moving forward. I haven't played it, but would be interesting to see your reaction to DK64. I've seen other streamers play it and it's either they like it or despise it; like a "had to be there" kind of thing. Also seems to depend on how many collectibles they go for. As an aside, Barb's well-documented absolute deep hatred for Banjo-Kazooie is hilarious. Similar for me with Mario 64 which, while revolutionary, hasn't aged well to people who didn't play it back in the day (shit camera and not very intuitive sorry not sorry as a shameless SNES/PS fanboy who skipped the N64 gen). Always impressive to me watching people destroy Mario 64. I can still destroy some pretty hard jankass NES games though as, while I can't remember some shit I did a few days ago, I still have muscle memory and weird parts of my brain that remember random shit from games almost 40 years old. Sad.
DK is my favorite! Thanks Ryu! I do have to say that I’m hoping they reinvent the wheel for the DKC series, like Botw for Zelda, you know? Like take the franchise to the next level. Maybe an over-the-shoulder adventure or something. Personally I’m not super excited for the side-scrolling any more. Anyone agree?
I wouldn't say we liked "difficult" games as kids, it's just that games were hard to disguise length or promote quarter consumption. We liked games cause there wasn't shit else to do, games were hard, so in that way we liked hard games. Kids now have 87,392 ways to distract them, so if s game gets harder than they're willing to give their attention, they just move on to the next mind numbing thing on their tablet that has more immediate dopamine gifts.
People in chat really be speaking on things they have no knowledge on. "What system was this game originally on?" A guy asks, and everyone tells him Wii U. WRONG this was a Wii game, then a 3DS game, now a Switch game. Wish people wouldn't speak when they don't know what the heck their talking about.
@@Mixed-Media-Arts I think before I speak and don't just let my mouth shoot open, and vomit words without thinking, I have a 141 IQ which is low end genius. I am careful with what I say.
@@Bman6464 You make the same mistake others I have seen make. There is no correlation between high intellect and grammar/spelling lol. Intellect is THINKING and UNDERSTANDING. News flash when you think in your head, there is no letters, no grammar, no spelling, in your mind you say the sentence "I wish I was there." for example and there is no difference between they're, there, their. The mind automatically puts the word or "understanding" in how it is meant to. Also you seem to be saying intelligent people can't make typo's? You think being intelligent makes a person more...robotic? More "perfect" and they make less errors? Not true. Though ironically I am an author, and I do make the occasional boo boo.
Disagree, forced motion controls are good. It's good to be forced out of your comfort zone. Nobody would ever try new things ever if you weren't forced to.
Nothing wrong with slowing down the game play with blowing, people are way to addicted to needing fast fast fast content in their brain. SLOW THE F DOWN and enjoy things. Slow will always be better.
@@nothanksfools Lol I cant remember exactly how long, but some of the bonus levels from the getting the KONG letters took me a while. Ryu breezed through so many parts that I struggled with.
part 2 going up tomorrow - th-cam.com/video/xaJAjq9eg_w/w-d-xo.html

Love the details in the game. At the perfect position the rock formations in the background form a banana!
And if you stay there, the rocks explode and you get a bunch of bananas and coins
Amazing stream! I bought the game also! I am hyped for Switch 2!

Alot of fun to watch. I literally just played this on wii without having a clue it was being reissued lol. Could you please play dk 3 one day???
I remember getting this when it came out, SUCH a frustrating game lol but played it right through in about a week. Love it 🤘🏻❤️
That octopus level was always my favorite as a kid, it was so fun

Ohh YEAH MASTER!!! HERE WE GO!!!
1:36:04 I love how almost pained Ryu sounded here. Though, to be fair, I almost certainly would've had the same reaction.
Happy I got to watch a live stream for once!
“Blow harder” - Ryu, 2025
Also “I miss Diddy” - Ryu, 2025
Bowsers test was a mod 56:16 I referenced I highly recommend the demo if you have the time.
Exactly what I was thinking. Blowing things slows down gameplay.

Would like to see you 100% this game
why ask if the volume is good and have multiple people say "its too quiet" and be like "nahh its good"
Because they were trying to trick him
@@Mixed-Media-ArtsIt’s too low tho, how were they trying to trick him
Tbf the sound was fine
I might as well watch you play because I'm not spending $60 on this 4 hour remaster of a remake.
Technically, « Donkey Kong Jr » is the character you play as in DKC or this DK Returns and « the original Donkey Kong » is Cranky Kong.
Take my money Nintendo!!!
That’s what they’re counting on!
Sqwaks sitting on Ryu shoulder
Ryu, you should beat DKC3 before playing DK64. DKC3 is much better
Dkc3 is was EXTREMELY under rated imo. Not really by players, but sales performance. It just released right as n64 was about to come out and didnt sale nearly as good as it would have. One of my all time fave games for sure
Donkey Kong Country 3 is awesome! I like the variety in levels. Hopefully, Ryu will play that next. Though, I am curious to see how Ryu eventually reacts to Donkey Kong 64, too.
Ryu, did you digg? The level names either rhyme or alliterate!
1:35:14 Interesting aesthetic choice in a few of the rock formations in the background.
That beach level around 1:55:00 reminds me of Super Ghouls and Ghosts from the SNES. Perhaps they’re paying some homage to it?
I feel that the switch reveal would not have happened unti april, but the leaks forced their hand. In april we will find out more.
Still 2 years too late
30:28 I died too 😂😂😂
Being a streamer must be amazing, strangers paying you just to read your message
only had to watch a few mins of this to know I want it......have to wait till payday but
Super Mario land 3d really had the right spice of it all
Agree on the open world Zelda!
DAY 7 OF ME HOPING YOU WILL PLAY STREETS OF RAGE 4 ON THIS CHANNEL
Be honest, is Streets of Rage 4 a must-play before you die game?
Streets of rage reminded me of Separation Anxiety for Snes .. such a monster difficulty... Ryu may be able to beat it with his wife ..
Motion controls options always 🎉😅 Agreed
Beautiful game
You HAVE to play Donkey Kong 64! My favorite N64 Title!!😭🙌🏻
love surprise Thursdays
5:43 Did Ryu miss that one or intentional

Shout out Tammy and the musical prosperity
Mario galaxy would be the launch title if it was coming the hype for the game is dormant but it’s in the backs of a lot of people’s minds
1:36:11 it looks like sqawks is in his shoulder
Game audio is very quiet.
Man, Nintendo milked this game 4 times at full price.
Hey ryu are you going to finish the game?
It used to be amazing if u can trick your brain into seeing ocarina it's the same
.... how do u have this and it's not on sale yet ....
We need Mario Galaxy 3 and Mario 3d Land 2 at launch for the Switch 2.!!!!
I remember playing on the Wii, hated the bug levels, and despised getting all the KONG letters to get the secret world…
Also, how would one use Diddy Kong’s Peanut Gun on the Switch version?
@@zachbrins00 its only in multi-player but diddy kong can use his peanut gun when you press the x or y button to smash down
Fyi...the game volume is too low lol. Just a smidge higher would be good.
Game Volume was definitely too low at start! sounded like background music!!
you never truly finished your dkc2 run, we're still waiting for the last video :(
I think almost everybody who's played this game agrees that the blowing, blows ass, pun intended.
23:22 I thought it was in that wall to the left 🤷🏽 @Ryu
You did great , I was planning on streaming this
You have to duck to blow 😀
I'm going to wait for the price drop it's not worth the money
Nintendo never does a price drop, I’m pretty sure
@@jmoriarty8000 Maybe 5% once in a blue moon
@@silky_merkin Maybe 20% drop after 7 years.
That’s what I’m doing with bitcoin and the housing market
More and more, video games (and pretty much everything else) are geared toward the wealthy and influential.
DK is my favorite! Thanks Ryu!

died so many times on first level.. cmon brooo
I hate the uneeded use of the shoulder buttons in these games.

Now, I'd add that, because I grew up with hard games, I like hard games as an adult.
On and off
He can clear a Kaizo Mario game with ease but has difficulty with World-1 on DKC Returns.
Anyway Its only fun in the begining

They had them in the original, no?
@Mixed-Media-Arts nah dude. If you got hit you were toast
tendo is so 🗑past due time to come home like sega
Ryu does not know how shops work.

Awful take. Some people just want to play games with no BS

Speed is a thrill. Blowing is like driving over a speed bump.

Ryu dies over and over because he refuses to take it off “original mode” and kinda sucks at this game.
He sucks?? This is news to me... it takes him 5 or 10 minutes to beat levels that took me over an hour 😒
@@sd-ex9jean hour???
@@nothanksfools Lol I cant remember exactly how long, but some of the bonus levels from the getting the KONG letters took me a while. Ryu breezed through so many parts that I struggled with.
@@Voodoo318 Here’s an idea, why don’t you stream it? Let’s see your skills. It’s a hard game and he chose to take the challenge and did pretty great.
@ why you mad? 😂
Nobody asked him to stream on hard mode. It would have been more watchable if he didn’t try to show off and get bodied like a a-hole.
Not for 60 bucks
the original was 50 bucks and had less levels, it also came out 15 years ago
