I only had time to watch the first 5 minutes of the Direct before I had to go proctor an exam. I saw the Hero, and I went off to do my duty disappointed. They looked cool even though I have no personal experience with the franchise, but I feared that would be our only reveal. I got a chance to take a peek at a screen again just under 40 minutes later, hoping against hope that there would be one last surprise. I wasn't expecting it. I dared not dream of it. Then I tuned in to see K. Rool and the Kongs lounging around. I lost my mind before that Jiggy even bounced by. Absolutely incredible.
Everything about the announcement was perfect. The music, the sound effects, the animations, the stage, the moveset. I'm so glad they got Grant back on board, too, even if he had to lie to us for a bit there. This was all worth it, and I'm glad we saw it through to the end. Can't wait to actually play our beloved duo in a few months!
