I still think Nintendo announced Prime 4 way too soon. It's been 7 years since we heard it existed and not a single glimmer of gameplay. Imagine they announced a new DK in 2017 then we hear they restarted development to get it right, with nothing to show between either updates. It might as...

Huh. Didn't think I'd see Tiki Tong in there. I wonder what kind of food they'll have there.

The Squawks part is what stuck with me after all these years. That wind...😬

Yeah, after you get the hang of it! First dozen times playing the level is pretty hard lol.

Thanks! I also just came across this animated short: This guy made a musical not too long ago based on the DKC cartoon, so this is a great surprise.

Hey everyone, I haven't been doing digital art in a while but I made something from the movie a few months back: https://youtube.com/shorts/lq8WoIk-f2g?feature=share

Just screenshotted these off a YouTube Short.

Basically right now, the only thing keeping DK alive is the movie. Without that the DK franchise is as dead as Starfox, but I think there'll be a renewal of Donkey Kong in about a week when the movie drops. There'll be interest and I think Illumination will keep up the momentum with DK's spinoff...

You mean Fungi Forest? I heard some back and forth about it but my memory is fuzzy on the whole thing.

Ehh it's funny cuz I liked Gloomy Galleon, it didn't remind me of a Banjo-Kazooie level like most of the others did. That, plus the music was unique and I liked the atmosphere. It reminded me of DKC2 overall.

Yeah, for me it's banjo-1.5-ee, and I don't really like it anymore, but I haven't played it in 23 years now that I think about it. I probably won't revisit it, but I'd like to hear your thoughts when you finish it.👍 I do like the concept of hideout helm even to this day though. That whole...

I figured that the Kongs basically replaced the Animal Buddies. A lot of their moves are what the AB's could do, and when underwater it felt like Enguarde's abilities were split between the Kongs. Would've been nice if they brought him in anyway and gave him something the Kongs can't do.

I would go with Squawks. The mining levels are my favorite from DKC2 and that's usually when we use him. I always liked the idea of using him as an Up B which can be a great alternative to the Ponytail Twirl/Spinning Kong. It's funny cuz I sketched out some Squitter ideas but never got around...

I think they should have made his boss fight more in line with how you fight the other walruses in the game instead of an homage to k. rool

Time will certainly tell. DK's on the verge of a resurgence so we'll get answers in a handful of years.
