@@nibblingconscience I mean, maybe not NEW game but there’s literally a HD version of Donny Kong Country returns coming out soon! I also want a new platforming Donkey Kong game. Wouldn’t mind a Diddy Kong racing remake either. And if we’re really shooting for the stars, I’d really like a fully 3D version similar to Donkey Kong 64 but waaaay better
Man how I missed this game, it's been 30 years of Donkey Kong Country which was originally from the SNES, that was My first game that I got for Christmas in 1994 which was a big bundle, it was an absolute masterpiece that Rarewave developed. I would like to play this game again
Donkey Kong having a park section and ports is really great and appreciated but as its one of my top (possibly #1) of my favorite Nintendo IPs i hooe this is all a build up to doing more with the big ape! Hopefully a new game! 🙏
The SNES era... STILL to this day one of the most solid videogame trilogies. Replayed them not long ago, took the dust off the good ol' machine. Love them.
These series recap/history videos Nintendo UK occasionally puts out are some of the best videos from them. They're so well edited. The last one for Metroid was really good.
Happy 30th anniversary to donkey Kong Country on the snes. I remember playing the game back in 1994 when I was 8 years old. It was a hard game at the time, now we can rewind mistakes on the switch.
I appreciate the effort they put into this with the transitions. One of the all-time best Nintendo series. Can't wait to play Returns again, and I hope a new game is finally around the corner.
nintendo own all donkey kong ip includes the games by rare & re release to do what they like with the DK rare made games apart from diddy kong racing which has legal complications because nintendo only own diddy & dixie kong while the rest of the non kong original characters are owned by rare & now also microsoft, xbox. so there no need to thank microsoft for something that has nothing to do with them now if it had been diddy kong racing for nso then you could of given microsoft thanks but for the rest of rare DK games Microsoft get no thanks.
We need a new Donkey Kong Country game that brings back all the Kongs, all the animal buddies and King K. Rool and the Kremlings. Make it happen, Nintendo.
Lets not overlook the Donkey Kong Land games on Gameboy. Great for some extra DK love!!! So much nostalgia on the old SNES games, and also a lot of love for the new ones.
ITS DONKEY KONG DECEMBER TIME
monkey kong december
Can’t wait for funky Kong February
There's been so much DK hype lately and I'm all for it!
Donkey will have a field day with this

Honestly this is a very well put-up trailer, it goes beyond just slapping gameplay footage over a background. Kudos to the editors
they did the exact same thing with the metroid series when dread was coming out!
Earthbounds too
hi Gabo2oo
This is animated like those all sprite art flash cartoons from the early 2010's and I can't get that fact out of my head
It's the upscaling effect. It didn't look like that on a CRT TV.

The Donkey Kong Country games are one of my all time favorites.

Donkey Kong is literally one of my favorite video game characters from the Nintendo Video Game franchise in history.
The editors really had fun doing this. I love those games.
All 5 of these games are some of the greatest of all time. THE best platforming series ever hands down.
For a second I could’ve swore this was a widescreen port. DAMNIT

I don't care if you guys are promoting for Returns HD, it should've been BEFORE Tropical Freeze in this video.
I still love this video, though.
yeah, it's really awkward and misleading lol. marketing or not, this order is nonsensical.
@@jclkaytwo Relax. It doesnt change anything really, it's not that deep
Always have to find something to complain about, no matter how inconsequential. Classic internet.

@@trollinski20 Fair point, though it still feels weird. But then again, I guess it would still feel a bit weird either way.

@@dvastThat would be ridiculously stupid.
We not only need Donkey Kong 64. But also Donkey Kong Land 3, & Diddy Kong Racing!

dkcr hd has improved a lot since it's last showing! Very exciting
Nice to see Donkey Kong Country get some recognition from Nintendo with this video with some good editing.
Those transitions between original trilogy were smooth af ngl
Excited play Returns with all the 3ds levels I never got to experience.
Nintendo made a similar video for the 2D Metroid series back when Dread was about to come out: "The History of Metroid in 2D - Metroid Dread Primer"
that's what this was reminding me of! it's basically the same thing! that's awesome
Neat that they did a bit of extra work with the SNES sprites and backgrounds for this short DKC promo.

*Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong is 43 years old
dkc trilogy needs a physical anniversary release damnit!
Or at least not online only.
I just use a emulator on my phone. It works flawlessly
Donkey Kong Country its the very first game i ever played so this feels very special to me
same.
About time they remember they have other DK games besides Returns
These series recap/history videos Nintendo UK occasionally puts out are some of the best videos from them. They're so well edited. The last one for Metroid was really good.
I like how Nintendo has to hide the hideous virtual console border when advertising virtual console games.
Donkey Kong Country has one of the best video game soundtracks, of all time✨🌟
The best trilogy in the history of mankind
quintilogy?
I like how DKC Returns HD looks now. Not perfect, but way better than what we were shown in June
Great childhood memories ❤
OH, HECK YA! I'll get Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for my brother's 17th birthday next year!
I haven't been this excited in a while
Happy 30th anniversary to donkey Kong Country on the snes. I remember playing the game back in 1994 when I was 8 years old. It was a hard game at the time, now we can rewind mistakes on the switch.
Man, i want returns so much
I love the detail of the release data shaking in the Returns HD segment.
5 incredible games that I replay endlessly, we need more DK Nintendo!!
How did they manage to make some parts WORSE for DKCR HD?!
And selling it for full price? That's insane.
And you'll never own them on this system. You will own nothing and be happy.
The way DK 1,2 & 3 raised me
I appreciate the effort they put into this with the transitions.
One of the all-time best Nintendo series. Can't wait to play Returns again, and I hope a new game is finally around the corner.
Kiddy Kong’s existence has just been acknowledged by Nintendo.
DKC3 is sooo underated, always overlooked by 2. Both incredible games but 3 deserves more than it gets imo..
Thank you microsoft for allowing Rare's legendary games to come to switch, and thank you Retro studios for making their equally legendary successors
microsoft doesnt own donkey kong country
nintendo own all donkey kong ip includes the games by rare & re release to do what they like with the DK rare made games apart from diddy kong racing which has legal complications because nintendo only own diddy & dixie kong while the rest of the non kong original characters are owned by rare & now also microsoft, xbox.

@@goldendragongames It's not that they own DK, it's just that Microsoft owns Rare, so there's some legal mumbo jumbo that caused a bit of trouble
@@LButtonX nothing to do with Microsoft, Nintendo own anything related to DK, their ip
Are you that Microsoft executive who thought they owned DK after buying Rare?
The King of the Jungle is here or was here, being us back Donkey Kong Nintendo and not just the Nintendo theme park.
Why is the intro to the video so unnecessarily good 😂
You should've seen the metroid one.
They should add the GBA versions of DKC 1, 2 and 3. Also DK64 really feels like it should be part of the DKC series.
holy Nintendo give this video editor a raise 🔥🔥🔥
Tropical Freeze is lowkey Nintendo’s best platformer.
Nintendo didn't make any of them
Nintendo animating with The Pré Render sprites 😂
0:45 this reminds a lot of Donkey Kong Country The Trilogy
*Rare, not Nintendo, but yes.
@pancakewizard1533 In this video the widescreen animations were made by Nintendo. Rare did the original game animations and also the 3 games.
Composer David Wise's music contribution to this iconic video game series is simply incredible :-)
Dk country 2, returns and tropical freeze are my favourites
And we got the first two Donkey Kong Land games on NSO! Just need number three!
Miss donkey kong sooo much, missed out on Returns back then and so excited to finally play it
1:46
I never thought we could hit Baron K.Rool at his front like that!
I love the DKC series! ❤
1-2 and Tropical Freeze are perfect.🎈
rip 3 and returns
This was a very pretty video.
Everybody get the banana hordes! We've got a long 25 days Christmas and the rest of our life to konga!
This game is awesome 😁
-where is donkey 64?
-we dont talk about it. Althoug you may sing the dk rap
We need a new Donkey Kong Country game that brings back all the Kongs, all the animal buddies and King K. Rool and the Kremlings. Make it happen, Nintendo.
Love it when they make older games look new again with these kinds of trailers 😊
I love how they ahowed this, plss nintendo, do more!
I'm replaying the first one right now and it's so good...
🆒 D.K series goes Bananas 🍌
I was so hyped thinking we were getting Widescreen Remakes of DKC 1-3. But them finally coming to NSO will suffice.
The only thing missing from this is Donkey Kong Land 1 & 2 which just made their way to Nintendo Switch Online
For Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, the extremely janky hitboxes on the minecart levels need fixing
Some of the highest-quality platformers of all-time!
They’re doing everything with Donkey Kong except a new game
I bet it will be a launch title for the Switch 2! Donkey Kong World, perhaps?
yeah, they cancelled a Switch game
God that intro animation was such a beautiful touch.
Where is Donkey Kong 64?
The donkey Kong country series is perfect
Just hoping DKC Returns HD is perfect considering it will be the definitive version
Still best platformer Series All Time
My favorite 0:55
Mates from across the pond are blessing the US with the DKC drop
🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
Last time Nintendo did something like it was for Metroid in the lead up to Dread.
Wonder if this means anything?
DONKEY KONG DECEMBER IS HERE
Man, I love the music!
Both times Donkey Kong Country Returns was released, it will have been over 10 years after the release of the last entry.
BANANA SLAMMA!!!
DKC is a masterpiece, but just seeing 2 seconds of the nightmarish snow level give me Vietnam flashback.
Lets not overlook the Donkey Kong Land games on Gameboy. Great for some extra DK love!!!
So much nostalgia on the old SNES games, and also a lot of love for the new ones.
Great transitions amazing actually thanks 😅🎉🎉🎉🎉
Donkey Kong december has come a few days early
Gives me vibes of that old Yoshi’s Woolly World video in the same manner.
The best trilogy ever.
What a cool, fun trailer. I'm super hype for Returns HD, :D
ahh yes, dkc tropical freeze released before dkc returns.
I thought will there be remake game
