The original trilogy was exceptional, Super Mario World & Yoshi’s Island were serious challengers. But DKC Returns & Tropical Freeze destroy New Super Mario Bros Wii & U. Super Mario Bros Wonder is a stronger challenger of course…
Oh I know, talk about the Pikmin, Splatoon and animal crossing series then you can talk about forgotten franchises like chibi robo and kid Icarus uprising. Great video btw
Donkey Kong Country and Wario Land are two 2D Platformer video game series I like to pair up, due to them both being the first Nintendo series not staring Mario at all. And both being unique from the 2D Mario's. (Expect for Wonder.) Can you do a video like this for Wario Land also as well?
Take a shot every time you hear the word “Kong”, or don’t if you want to survive to the end of the video…. I hope Nintendo remasters the original SNES DKC titles, and releases the next Switch in grey & purple colours, calling it the Super Switch. Nostalgia is a powerful bear hug.
I love Donkey Kong Country series my favorite is Dixie Kong I've been playing through the DKC 2 BUT I hate the wasp honeycombs levels with a passion and I don't want to do next wasp honeycomb level
I think you’re sleeping on the GBA version of 3. It’s more one to one with the SNES game than you think. The visuals still look good and the music is more funky.
@@paulgilbert5278 I wouldn't say upbeat is the right word either lol. There's just a lot more moving parts and sounds going on. The gba music is just as moody/serious than the original in almost every way except for the tree level where theres a murderous buzzsaw chasing you while sunny music plays lmao.
Lovely games. I have DK64 and DKC Returns 3D, fantastic games. I had Tropical Freeze but i sold my Wiiu with all the games, top notch game. DKC on the snes we used to rent back in the day, what a game it is. I have of course played it later on the Wii and Switch, it's a true classic. DKC2 and 3 i never played back in the day, so the nostalgia factor isn't really there but still masterful games. The overall level here is very very high.
The problem with DKC3 is not that it’s a bad game but by that point it was kinda been there done that. Of course Kiddy Kong and the lack of David Wise didn’t help either.
I don’t think the lack of Wise was as bad as people make it out to be. Novakovic did a great job and I very much enjoy the more atmospheric music from DKC3
@@paulgilbert5278 SNES -version was somewhat inferior than first two. But, GBA -version is apparently better version of DKC3. I have not completed it yet, but at least music is better and extra content is awesome.
@@M1XART 2 sure, but 3 is inherently better than the first game. More creative level design, less cryptic bonus rooms, and Dixie Kong. It could almost give 2 a run for it's money in the level design aspect.
@@paulgilbert5278 I disagree. First DKC is the best. It justifys everything it does on the most natural way. It has best themed map & levels as well as enemies. There is nothing in the game that does not fit perfectly into it. -No mediocre/bad ideas what so ever included. It's the only one in series i replay all the time. First DKC also has the best graphics and music is as good as DKC 2. However, i admid that DKC 3 has most impressive bosses and map is neat as well. Entire trilogy is best money can buy. There is nothing wrong with DKC 2 or DKC 3. Second game just tries too much stuff all over the place and DKC 3 animal buddies are worse than previously. But, i feel that Rare's will to make each of those games unique ultimately made some things weaker, just coz they "had to be" different. For example, DKC has brilliant mine cart -rides, DKC 2 manages to impress with roller coaster alternatives, but DKC 3 had no proper replacement.
The lack of Dixie Kong in Smash Bros and Mario Party hurts my soul! You have to unlock hard mode to play with her in tropical freeze. Nintendo hates her. Dixie was in the mobile Mario kart game. Funky Kong is very popular! He wins alot of fan polls. Id like to see a Donkey Kong Country 1-2 & 3 physical release on a current console. Like the Secret of mana & legend of mana SNES collection on switch. Dkc3 sold 1m units in its first month, which is huge. Developers were nervous to have a female protagonist in the 90s! Once again It sucks to be a Dixie fan. I guess in 50 years she will be in Mario baseball lol.
No Jungle Beats??? I know you play it with the Bongos, and yeah, it's not a Country game, but neither is DK64! Justice for Jungle Beats! The weirdest but coolest DK game!
dony remeber n64 ones but thought good. fun fact almost gamecube platform and racing before rare and nintendo spoil there friendship. but I say Wii ones and Wii ones plus remaster on switch form there ere is so good. so with this game ad Sid puzzle things dk on a rule.
What is wrong with the guy who made this video. Complaining like the majority about DK64 having too many collectables. It was an absolutely amazing game. You need to have dedication to conquer this game and any true gamers don't mind this. Yes the amount of collectibles was a lot but that just makes it that much more satisfying. I completed this game relatively easy with every collectable
Couple of things, Donkey and Diddy have the same speed in Country 1. And Country 2 is NOT called Diddy Kongs Quest. Youd think you would fact check before doing a video like this first?!
Diddy is faster than DK slightly in the first DKC and can jump higher but is weaker and can’t kill certain enemies, and it is Diddys Kong quest but I misspoke so that I apologize for :D
I didn't like DK Country returns and tropical freeze the enemies and bosses were extremely bland compared to DK Country 1 to DK 64 and the story of both DK Country returns and tropical freeze both are just terrible compared to DK Country 1 to DK 64.
Well, DKCR HD is not a remake, but a remaster, and it's being developed by a company that literally only creates ports. Remakes of the SNES trilogy was never in the cards.
@@BigAlvideos101 I can understand the flaws, but "one of the worst games ever made" is just lazy hyperbole. I mean, give me your top 10 worat games ever made.

Does DK64 really rank alongside Superman 64, ET, Hotel Mario, Lesiure Suit Larry, Custer's Revenge, and Wand of Gamelon?
@@BohemianRaichu I don't even have a Top 10 Worst Games of all-time, because I've played countless games considered the worst and I thoroughly enjoyed them!

DKC3 is so underrated... The first 3 DKC on SNES are just legendary!!! Miss those days.
It’s become my favourite especially around Christmas with the Xmas code. It’s so cozy! Plus going for 103%, 104% and 105% is amazing.
Got to be a contender for best trilogy in gaming.
DKC 3 is the weakest link.
@@timetravelingoldman6839 maybe "weakest" (in comparison to the other 2), but not weak
Instead of Returns and Tropical Freeze getting a Switch port, what the franchise should have gotten is an actual new game.
i agree, insane that it’s been ten years since a new entry
Hopefully with the Switch 2(whatever name it is actually given later) there is a new one made.
I thought there was a new game coming next January...but it's just an HD remaster of DK returns
Or, and hear me out here. Crazy thought. Real out of the box thinking, might be super controversial.
We should’ve had both a new game and the ports.
With 7 years between those ports
It's actually Diddy's Kong Quest, being a pun on conquest and quest for Donkey Kong
Ooooh this is gonna be a good one. The 2D games are one of, if not my favorite series of video games ever made.
Dkc 3 shows people how to go out with a bang (being that the n64 was already out in 96)
Love the colors and the atmosphere
I love DK64 so much. I was born a couple years after it but I watched a longplay of it when i was like 8😅
The original trilogy was exceptional, Super Mario World & Yoshi’s Island were serious challengers. But DKC Returns & Tropical Freeze destroy New Super Mario Bros Wii & U. Super Mario Bros Wonder is a stronger challenger of course…

May Game is a Fusion of both of them with sonic as the Major insperation!
@@Enan63. Oh yes and Wario games too
Sleeping on the great GBA soundtrack for DKC3. 😭
Donky Kong is the original American psycho movie. A villain biopic
wow probably the best video that says nice and on point things about Donkey Kong Country 3
We need a new DK 64 Game, Not only HD Remakes 😐
Great video, great series. It is Diddy's Kong-Quest though lmao
I always said it as Diddy Kongs Quest as a kid and its so hard to say it properly lol
Take a shot every time you hear the word “Kong”,
or don’t if you want to survive to the end of the video….

I wouldn’t say more funky. It’s actually a lot more serious and reflects the environments more.
@@egoleo6693 It's take it or leave it in some areas. The lakeside levels have a more serious theme but then the snow levels sound more lighthearted.
@@paulgilbert5278 That's more of the exception than the rule. Only songs I'd say are really funky are the mountains and the shops.
@@egoleo6693 There's more. Waterfalls, Lakesides, Factory, Mills. etc. The GBA one goes for a more upbeat style while the SNES version was more moody

My friend Frankie and I would play this a lot when I was a kid
One I didn’t have two or three and now I could play all of those on my switch
I actually find that DKC 3 is the most atmospheric out of the original trilogy.
All great games! Perfection
Really hoping we get another one in the future. Not just ports
I fricking love DK64
Still "not" bitter they didn't put DkC2 and 3 on the Snes Mini. Why?!
The problem with DKC3 is not that it’s a bad game but by that point it was kinda been there done that. Of course Kiddy Kong and the lack of David Wise didn’t help either.
That's to be expected if playing a 3 in a row. But 3 has the advantage being the most refined of the three games.
I don’t think the lack of Wise was as bad as people make it out to be. Novakovic did a great job and I very much enjoy the more atmospheric music from DKC3
DKC 2 might just be one of the best games ever made.
man I hope there's a new one in the pipeline for the first or second year of Switch 2
It's diddy's conquest, bud.
The atmosphere and world of the original trilogy was so much better back when Rare was making the games.
First two DKCs are better than any other 2D -platformes.
Crossing 3 of the list?

Yo you underrated keep it up man
DKC2 is still "Top Banana"...but DKC3 is incredibly underrated and a masterpiece in its own right.
DKC2 has the best OST on the entire SNES, no contest
Tropical Freeze is 2D platformer perfection

Biggest hot take DK64 is the goat of 3D platformers. And 101% is only for the gigga chads
Gayyy
No.
No mention of Donkey Kong Land games?

YOU DKC3
NOT YOU DK64
For DKC RETURNS
Being DKC TROPICAL FREEZE
GREAT GAMES DKC2
yes.
Why wasn't it called Donkey Kong Country 64? Would have made more sense.
I guess it's not country cause it is not a sidescroller like the other ones
Pokémon isn’t and never was meant to be difficult and all main line games have been good if not great.
Yes. They are that good make a fucking new game nintendo
