Lol! Savages!
Quawks appeared as an item in Barrel Blast. Quawks only not appeared in the Retro games. But then again half of the DKC Rare cast is missing from the Retro games.
Retro being absent for all this years already cemented in my head that we weren't getting a new DK game from them again. It's a shame because Retro Studios' games are well crafted and had their own distinct style compared to Rare.
This explains a lot. I have tons of respect for Retro because of the quality of their games and their contributions in making the DK series more noticeable for the new generation. That said, their current situation is concerning.
Ok Zoomer.
Yeah, Screech had potential to be a good recurring lackey character for K. Rool. Maybe similar to the blue parrot in the DKC TV show.Quawks is ok but the bigger loss is Screech:
"Faker? I think you're the fake parrot around here!"
This is such an interesting video to take in. We all know that Retro is a studio that will deliver high quality games that we all expect. They brought us the Metroid Prime trilogy in the early 2000's and both Returns and Tropical Freeze this decade. Retro has been pretty sporadic as far as releases go. Tropical Freeze was released over 5 1/2 years ago and you would think that Retro would start developing a new DK game after a year or two. There just seems to be an unclear direction in the the studio is going. Of course all the focus is on Metroid Prime 4 and I hope they can deliver big time again. Any Nintendo franchise that Retro has been absolute gold. I would love to see Retro's take on the Star Fox series whether the Star Fox Grand Prix ever comes true or not. They do know how to flesh out and expand a series. I would love to see Retro cap off their trilogy with a DKC Returns 3 with the return of K. Rool.
Dixie's flame is the undying light. Our passion will never burn out!
We got Dix.
She'll need 'em for when she tussles against Ridley and Rool. She takes fighting gear very seriously.I hope when Dixie finally does get into Smash, they give her back her knee pads.
I think a Spirit/Nintendo character or two will be in the DLC lineup because of GameXplain's recent video:
Dixie better be one of those Spirit Promotions!I think a Spirit/Nintendo character or two will be in the DLC lineup because of GameXplain's recent video:
They have deep connections within Nintendo so I think this is a sign. In fact, I think FP5 is a Nintendo character because of this video. They could have have spoke about this topic a year ago, but they didn't. It's weird that GameXplain came out with this video at a time like this less than 2 weeks before the VGA and when Sabi and Verge are deconfirming a bunch of big 3rd parties left from right. It's clear they know who FP5 is and they're being sneaky with this video kind of saying: "Maybe it's a Nintendo character...
."
I disagree with this. It would seem like GameXplain knows everything or is a leaker because they guessed something right from time to time. But the truth is. They are just fans like us and the time Jon predicted the Final Fantasy ports and Kirby's Epic Yarn port, and they didn't believe the Grinch leak, it was all pure dumb luck.I think a Spirit/Nintendo character or two will be in the DLC lineup because of GameXplain's recent video:

They mix the truth and false predictions in their videos. They just play the fool so the Nintenjas don't get on their ****.
That's a quite a conspirancy theory you have there. But even if they were related to Nintendo (Actually they aren't). They wouldn't be given classified information like that.
The point of the video is that there will definitely be a Nintendo rep in the DLC lineup. As long as they don't say "It's so and so." They won't get in trouble.
I mean in the video he admitted that post Game DLC spirits including his personal favorites like Tetris and Resident Evil were probably far more unlikely to be upgraded because of when they were added so I don’t think too much of it was salt.
He didn't say there WILL be a Nintendo character. He said "there are no rules". That's an extemely safe bet. The character could be from Nintendo, it could be an spirit or assist trophy or it could still be a 3rd party from a new franchise. Whatever happens he won't be wrong because he didn't commit to anything in particular.
He got over it after a while. But oh boy. Those first hours after the Resident Evil spirit board announcement were really bitter.
I didn't say he said that, I just said that was likely the reason they uploaded the video because we are probably getting a Nintendo rep.
I think that too. But only after the fighter pass ends. Let's wait until the VGAs and see.
Was he though? I mean yeah he was little peeved, I mean anyone would be at their favorites being deconfirmed but I seem to remember him being happy they were being represented at all fairly quickly.
Sadly. Getting spirit'd post launch is probably a sure death. He got the worse end of the stick. Imagine if Dixie's spirit was missing but was then added in a update...
A bit of a rant in-coming, but I've been feeling this quite a while.
I just wonder why Dixie happened to be literally the only cut character of the forbidden seven Sakurai outright admitted to originally planning to put in Brawl, like he was literally planning on adding her alongside Diddy Kong back when the roster only had DK as the sole DK rep and was less than 35 characters large, and why he put her trophy in Melee over Diddy's, it really seemed like he liked her a lot back then, and yet now he pretty much thinks a Mii Costume is "good enough" for her. It's just such a jarring change of attitude from then to now, especially since Dixie literally just got brought back for Tropical Freeze, which Nintendo is still happily selling for $60 on the Switch Eshop.
Who knows? Maybe she was built solely around being Diddy's partner in means of central playstyle and feel, and after that not working out, Sakurai didn't perhaps find much more incentive to add her otherwise after Diddy seemed to stand very well on his own - I mean, she didn't exactly "return" as part of scrapped data in Smash 4, nor got to be even part of DLC in that game, in spite of having become relevant after years of absence through Tropical Freeze.
