I believe the joke is Donkey Kong still lives in 2014, back when Tropical Freeze released and Reggie was still at Nintendo. He's been stuck in 2014 because Nintendo hasn't released a Donkey Kong game since then, just re-releases.
There's a genuine reason this game is NOT WORTH 60 dollars and that's because he doesn't go "OOOOOOHHH BANANA!" when he sees a banana! Everyone knows he goes "OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH BANANA!" when he sees a banana!
Every Nintendo game does this because they're actually worth it. If you already own it don't buy it, if you don't own it you're missing out on one of the best games in the genre.
Shaking the remote to roll or blow doesn't even add to the tactile experience of the game. The motion of the player isn't equivalent to the motion of the player character. The motion controls at least make sense for when DK is punching or ground-pounding.
It has been a strange experience for me not feeling the need to buy some of my favourite games as they get released on the switch because I had just replayed them when they get announced. Happened to me for both Paper mario and donkey kong two years in a row. Rather than those who have played a game, I feel the primary audience for rereleases are those who didn't play the game - so hopefully new Donkey Kong fans rolling in soon.
He basically gave you all the info you need to know while making fun of the things people get upset about and left it for you to decide. It's been his style for a while
What I got from it was It's worth it if you don't have the original. If you do, then just play the original because donkey kong country is one of the best platformers and every platformer fan should play it.
You're the best TH-camr dunkey. That being said, you've neglected to talk about one of the great masterpieces of our generation, outer wilds. It's a space game. It's a funny game. It's a game you have to play. Please.
i mean, what could he say about it? i legit don't want to say anything about it. i just tell all my friends "play it or it will forever haunt you that you didn't." Sorry this was a clumsy way of saying i agree with you that game is heaven
@pantalaemon I know, I think about this all the time. It would be tricky, but I do think he could give a good dunkview without any significant spoilers (aside from maybe basic locations), I mean, this is videogame dunkey we're talking about. In a perfect world he'd make two videos, spoiler free and spoiler-ful, better yet he should just straight up stream it.
I was hesitant about buying a 56th copy of this game, but after you showcased Donkey Kong in his iconic sad mode, I realized that my family of 40 could go another day without a meal if it meant Dongo Bongo could eat another banana. Thank you for this important PSA.
I know that 60 is a lot of money and you didn't hear this from me but there are ways to play this game for free. But I think it is a baller move to stand by a product no matter it's age. If they are asking market price for an old game it is of course greedy but also it shows that it's age doesn't make it a lesser game than all the other 60 dollar games on the market and that is undeniable it's a great product priced at the same price other products on the same market are priced. Complaining about this but paying for the same 100 yr old 'new' COD is crazy
@kingstarscream320 TLOU has mid gameplay and COD is slop, lol. The fact that _those_ are the games that immediately jumped to mind for you when you tried to think of good examples of games made for a mature audience goes to show that your taste in games never evolved beyond that of a child, either.
Yo man I’ve been fried as hell watching the news over the past 2 days and this video felt like Premium Dunkey. Thank you brother, you really helped me come back down to earth.
I have such a great relationship with this game. I played it back in the stone age around the time dunkey was playing prince of persia on the caveman walls with moses and ramses. Its a timeless game
i bought this game a few days ago cuz of nostalgia and a need for more donkey kong and I was not disappointed. still holds up. tropical freeze is awesome too

There is actually a third controversy. And that is that they didn't put the people who worked on the original DKC: Returns in the credits of this remaster.
But I was told Nintendo "believes in giving proper credit"???
Ok real
That is actually kind of bullshit though
Even Konami knows better than that. Lmao
Like crediting the original work as a whole? or do you expect them to roll two sets of credits, crediting everyone who 'worked on' the original?

All jokes aside, DKCR is one of three best platforming games of all time and if you do not believe in it, Donkey Kong does not believe in you either.

It has been a strange experience for me not feeling the need to buy some of my favourite games as they get released on the switch because I had just replayed them when they get announced. Happened to me for both Paper mario and donkey kong two years in a row.

Dunkey's sarcasm has reached such heights that I don't even know if he thinks its worth it or not.
Reggie bribing him with that free Switch 2 has made Dunk biased.
