I think Pichu made it in so they could add another character without doing as much as adding a different character. If diddy doesnt make it in something is wrong.

He said it was his favourite but he disliked what rare did to it - that was when he was having a spat because people were pressuring him to use those same DKC graphics for Yoshi's Island, although he did apologise and say he liked it or whatever later but that's when the Nintendo fanboys started to hate DKC, Miyamoto hated it so they did too, that's when it went sour.

The DK series is one of my least favorite Nintendo series out of the popular ones. I had fun with the Countries, but I didn't care as much for 64.

DKC 1 & 2 along with DK 64 were great titles. I didn't like DKC3 because they reused that stupid "oh my God they kidnapped the Kongs!" thing like in DKC2 and then made it so that Diddy and DK were defeated by K. Rool but Dixie and Kiddy beat him. DK and Diddy are the superior team so how come they didn't star in that game instead of Dixie and Kiddy? Rare may have made the best DK games but they are none too familiar with originality story wise.

I liked basically every DK game released to some extent (Except Donkey Konga (xainfeng, blame NAMCO for that one, they made it) and Donkey Kong 3(altough I still support stanely the Bugman for Brawl :)) ), but my absolute favorites are Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's quest and Donkey Kong Jr.

DK64 rocked
Who can't wait to download it for 10 bucks on Wii?

and i think downloadable charecters would rock, you could download them not as immediately playable but unlockable. then if some charecters don't make it because of time then they can release the game and then finish the charecters and send them out on the WiiConnect24 to be downloaded as unlockable

I would prefer more minor things over characters. One character at the most as Melee was hard enough to beat as it was and Brawl will most likely be harder. Some extra trophies or costumes would be nice though. I still have all the DKC games and DK64 with thier respective systems. As a matter of fact, I just beat DKC3 103% the other day but I can't seem to find two of these stupid bonus coins in DKC2 so I can't get the last Hero Coin (the big coin with the DK symbol on it).

I liked all the Dk games except Jungle Beat. Uncle Kenny the storyline in DKC3 was just as original as the mario series, Bowser kidnapped Peach again! and again!

Rare should know better than to steal unoriginal ideas. I am sick of Peach getting kidnapped in every single Mario game. That is probabbly the only reason I am getting Super PM because Peach is playable and I am curious as to what the storyline will be.

got mario hoops 3 on 3 today, and i have to say that diddy has one of the coolest specials ever. he jumps up really high, then does a backflip with his jetpack, and swishes it in. you gotta love that jetpack. makes me love diddy even more.
