I agree. I love 2D platformers, and do want Retro to do a third one eventually... but I want them to also expand the DK gameplay and give us a proper, amazing 3D DKC game that Rare failed to live up to. Rare could've done it, but they felt the "need" to create a 3D DK game instead of wanting to do it justice. Retro can pull it off, I know they can.
I love DK64, it has its flaws but it's a fun time.
It was fun, but it wasn't amazing. It didn't feel like a real DK game like DKC1-3 were. I want a 3D DK game that feels more like a DKC game, just in three dimensions. I don't mind if they keep the open world aspect (perhaps even improving it), but I don't want the Kongs to get upgrades. I want the "upgrades" to be Animal Buddies, and I hate the whole world feeling like a HUB with everything disconnected and disjointed.
I don't think it lived up to the standard of Banjo Kazooie or Tooie, but I played it through recently and still loved every minute of it. If Retro could do a 3D DK game and style it more like Mario 64/BK then I'd much rather have that next than DKCR3.
Okay so if I understood it correctly your leaning towards a linear, more skill based 3D DK game (like the later levels of Super Mario 3D World) than a exploration based game like Banjo-Kazooie?
If they ever dared to do such a game again...
but yeah, maybe it's possible to combine these games and add challenging (2D) platforming to it. Just cut down the collecting & the amount of playable characters & throw in more animals for smaller segments.
...You're not serious, are you?
Also note that the second update made Octolings much easier to access, with minimal modding save for changing a number in the code. Also, the Octoling models have been updated to have new eyes and other features.
I think it'd be fine either way. I at least want a 3D world-styled game, but I also am interested in seeing an exploration based game that just keeps more elements from DKC. Like, look at the ground pound in DK64. When was that ever useful? For hitting switches, that's it.Okay so if I understood it correctly your leaning towards a linear, more skill based 3D DK game (like the later levels of Super Mario 3D World) than a exploration based game like Banjo-Kazooie?
The 3D World styled game might be necessary in order to keep many elements from DKC, it seems. Even though I prefer the exploration based games, I'd got to admit that this might be the way to go with DK.

The pic in the background is faked, obviously. The Inkling girl in front is CLEARLY a Mii Fighter costume.
Really cool.
Unfortunately not. I don't think there will be any today.
Trust me. If there was you'd know about it.
Probably not, but it has happened before late the night prior.
Upgrades to various things. In DK64 you could upgrade your guns, your health amount, your instruments, and your carrying capacity for that and how many camera film roles, crystal bananas, and orange grenades you could carry.
Agreed. Not only does Nintendo need to get games ready but the console ready. They're still thinking of making it an equal to the PS4, which in and of itself is a bad move since the PS4 is so far behind the curve.
Late the night prior? Pardon me, but what do you mean, exactly?
For an announcement of a Direct.
We don't know what Nintendo is trying to make it equal to. Its only speculation. The main issue to consider is: when planning out how powerful it should be, it should take into account when PS4 and X-Box One will get their own successors. 2018 is likely to be around the time they would, if that's the case, the sequel needs to be much more powerful than those consoles, but that would also cause problems with getting the console to sell.
A Direct announcement has happened late night the day before a Nintendo Direct has happened. It could potentially be announced as late as even 2.5-3 hours from now, but its unlikely. They rarely do that, but they have done it before.
nope but i think the picture is all real and none of it being fake i just don't see any fake in there i played as the mii gunner on classic and all stars on wiiu their background picture in the ''congratulations credit'' did not match the leak pic they don't have fox in it
Dude, the background image is obviously faked. The only way a new background image would appear is if the character they are playing as is Inklings, not a Mii with a Mii Fighter costume that's the Inklings. And this is definitely a Mii Fighter costume. They just stripped out an Inkling Girl from a different model and put it over a faked background.
If you say so. Still not expecting a Direct to be announced.
its not fake i just tested a gunner on classic and all stars on the wiiu version they do not have fox in their background picture during the credits this leak looks real to me
i guess your right it is fake but still what if a splatoon direct happens to have a smash bros related thing to appear only then will you believe its real i'll take your word for it just this once
even if the inklings are dlc, that doesnt automatically make this leak legitimate.
you think so insanehippo? leaks are just too hard to trust these days all of them turning out to be fake and theres no real proof of it yet someone told me on miiverse that the leak is fake because the lnkling looks short in it
I don't expect it, either. If we get one its tomorrow.
The background picture doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that they used a Mii Fighter for the character jumping around and Mii's don't have that background. Obviously the background is fake. And the text on the splash screen isn't the same font at all, either.
It only makes this leak legit if the exact same render is used for the Inklings.
Replies say that have the face was changed and someone joked that the Inkling jumping around is a Little Mac clone (its not, its a regular Inkling), but the fact is that the head was turned in the same direction as the gun and that's about it.
I agree completely. Also, I absolutely love your avatar and signature. And now...Honestly? I'm currently having trouble buying the fact that it's the Inklings we're getting. Their too fresh.
But seriously, I still think these guys are better suited for building up want for the next Smash game. These are the kinds of characters that would build hype ASAP.
The bigger problem is for the price point the tech is already outdated. It took until like 2012 for last gen's tech to get realllly outdated with the Xbox 360 and PS3. We're practically at that point now because the PS4 and Xbox One have upper low end CPU's and GPU's hampering their console. They stuck to last gen AMD vRAM CPU's and GPU's. They paid the price with their console's lifespans and long-term profit lines. These consoles are struggling to get 1080p, and when they do, it's a heavily downgraded form in order to maintain framerate, oftentimes which is already downgraded to 30fps.
To do that they'd need at least 1TB of memory though, and Nintendo has been hesitant to invest in good storage amounts. The WiiU has a what? 32GB hard drive in the best model? That's sub-standard for computers a decade ago. I am hesitant to say Nintendo will evolve past that. They'll need 1TB minimum to get away with that in 2017.
Honestly having old gamepads and new gamepads would be a brilliant idea. New gamepads could run games at higher definition (which with stronger GPU's makes it easier to run), while old gamepads could still run games fine. Keeping Wiimote and Nunchucks with Wiimote+ technology, GameCube controller support, and the Pro Controller around (along with a new Pro Controller as the standard controller; please have a wired option) would be ideal.
If they're going for a short-term console, then considerably more powerful is good (like 15% better). If not, go 50% stronger in almost every aspect, bar none. The former is achievable at a $300 price point in 2017 EASILY, the latter at a $400 price point. Now if they really wanna go all out and make the first 9th generation console like I suggest, a $450 or $500 price point would work.
That would be ideal for sure. A handheld NX launch in 2017 would be a great kickstart for the 9th gen for Nintendo. Waiting on the NX until 2018 would allow prices for stuff to get even cheaper, meaning they could, for instance, get quality 4GB vRAM GPU's for a lower price.
Oh, why thank you
. However, to be honest, I've actually been here before (I drop in occasionally, and I did disappear from SmashBoards for a while), and gotten the initiation before. But, hey,I can always enjoy it even still, so thanks .
Oh yeah, my assumption is that Nintendo would HAVE to jump on 1TB. And on that note, they're the last ones I'd expect to go full digital anyway. If they really planned to do that, they'd definitely need to make it 1 TB.
I'm torn on whether I would want a digital only console or not. In the end it isn't a big deal for me. Regardless, I hope they go for the 1TB drive, especially in a hybrid drive. That way we get faster boot times, faster loading times, and less loading screens, especially on games with tons of data.
Trust me, they can make a $400 or lower priced console for 2017 or 2018 that can be a solid, reliable, non-inferior 9th gen console.
Sitting on the WiiU now is not a bad idea. They got a new Animal Crossing game, Xenoblade Chronicles X, a new Yoshi game, and then next year a Star Fox game and a Zelda game that will likely have huge ad campaigns behind them. Oh, and Pikmin 4 too probably. Add in Smash DLC and Splatoon DLC (please add Mario Kart 8 DLC. PLEASE!), and they got enough to at least carry them for 2016. By 2018, Nintendo may sell 25 million WiiU's if they mark down the console price enough.
No, you're not the only one. We are a minority, though. DK 64 was generally not very well received by the majority of fans from what I remember. However, I think people are beginning to look back on it, since the demand for it to be ported over to the Wii U (and even the Wii) was high and paid off, and we can now play it on the Wii U.
The other thing is, if they sit on it, they can produce a few additional games for it as well. Animal Crossing Wii U could be produced fairly easily in time for 2017, and that'd be the hype game of 2017. It could also be an NX launch title, so either way, win-win. By 2017 they might even be able to get a Metroid out and (god forbid) Diddy Kong Racing lol.
A new 3D DK would NEED to have collectibles, but I don't want the tasks to be tedious minigames, I want the tasks to actually involve real platforming. Also, I don't want bananas or banana coins to be collectibles as well. Bananas should just give you extra lives as per usual. (Well, if they go with lives. Maybe bananas can just give you health or something.)
