I wouldn't put any stock in that "leak", even though it had some alt. colors that were identical to the ones in the demo. I consider it a coincidence.

The Kremling King (as well as Dixie) is safe from this, no matter what IMO.
The amazing thing about that leak for me is that it actually made me accept Bowser Jr as an option.
I was vehemently angered since 2006 whenever somone suggested him as a character, in large part because they often suggested the ridiculously horrid option of the paint brush. Yet by adding in the Clown Car, and giving him the Koopalings as alts, they then represent a much more substantial part of Mario, and add in actual new gameplay. Here we have flight, a multitude of new villains, Koopalings for Old reps and NEW reps, Bowser junior to represent the in between that era, and- I dont know, it actuallly makes me giddy to think of this mechanic.
It is honestly enough to make me think it is slightly plausible. Not that fans cannot have good ideas, of course they can, hell I thought of the Clown Car. But somehow not with the Koopalings; this makes it represent much more Mario, and it makes it better. It would now be up there with Captain Toad as the next Mario character I would want.

Is anyone else disappointed that DK is only on the cover of the Wii U version of Smash Bros. 4? Sure, it's gonna be the definitive version that more people will buy and it's a step up from him not being on the cover of Brawl at all, but I certainly don't see why Pit and Kirby deserve to be on the cover of both versions while DK doesn't, even though he's way more iconic and well-known than either of them.

DKC was my first SNES game and definitely made big impacts <3. DKC2/3 were awesome too. As was DK64 when it came out.

I just really want my DK needs pleased in Smash, it would be awesome to have both Dixie and K. Rool. Though if just one makes it in I'd be happy too. K. Rool would need to appear as more than a trophy though. :| Then again, having him playable would be the best, otherwise we'd (or at least I'd) never see him anyway since items are banned (in case of assist trophy) and if he's a stage hazard the stage would probably be banned too, and if he's a boss (if they still exist) then I'd play that a few times and it's done.

Btw, I just found this:

Because of the massive K. Rool campaign Nintendo has answered this:


"Hello,

Thanks for writing. We have been experiencing heavy email volumes and this has resulted in a delay our response. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’re as excited as you for the next Super Smash Bros. games and which characters might be included. I’ll be sure to document your comments regarding K. Rool.

As you know, final character lineups for these new games haven’t yet been announced. I know this is hard to hear at this point, but these games aren’t scheduled for release until later this year, which means it may be a while before any new information is made available. However, once it is we’ll post the details to our website (http://www.smashbros.com/us/), so check back regularly!

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc. Alvia Wilcox"

Something similar was posted a while back. Sounds like a copy-paste email. I doubt its a joke, though.

No, it's not a joke, it's basically the same response I received as well. Granted, my guy went out of his way to say "As a fellow DK and Smash fan, I understand why you'd like to see K. Rool," but yeah, same basic thing about the final character line-up not being announced yet.

Hmm awesome, I'm gonna shoot Nintendo an email too. Just to make it heard that we want K. Rool back. Even if not in Smash, He should return to the DK series.

This all reminds me. K. Rool mentions his wife in DKC3. I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's Queen K. Rool like?
I'm pretty konfident his wife is yet another persona of K. Rool. He puts on a dress and wig and all that other stuff. Is K. Rool even aware that one of his personas took on a life of her own?

Pretty kool that we've garnered at least a little attention from the big n

Edit: everyone knows that K Rool is a player; he's married to a krokodile model obviously.

Finshed the main story of Tropical Freeze and started collecting the relics, so I suppose I can give my thoughts now.

Absolutely fantastic. The visuals are great, the mechanics are great, the level design is great, and the David Wise music, HNNNNG it's so wonderful! My favorite part has to be when you reach DK Island and see all the locations from Returns frozen over (the giant bat encased in ice was particularly funny), nice hit of nostalgia there. Also this theme.


My only real complaints are the initial load times (which even skip a lot for some reason) and, of course, the missing Kremling Krew, but the Snowmads were cool (PUNS!) in there own right.

I'd hope for the tail

It's better than Melee or Brawl, where he was left off of the covers entirely. I agree though... Donkey Kong Country is the fourth biggest Nintendo franchise, yet it seems like it always get pushed aside in these things.

You'll have to wait until Sakurai develops Donkey Kong's Superstar Uprising Air Ride Adventure to get dozens of Smash Run enemies, half a dozen new items, K. Rool with 12 unique weapon moves, a revamped Donkey Kong moveset, a differently-voiced Funky Kong clone/costume, all three of them (probably) designed as high-tier "strong" characters, at least two Assist Trophies, multiple modes and menus designed after DKSUARA, and a metric ****ton of facetime on the covers, in trailers, and on the website.

In other words, NeoGAF would implode due to the cognitive dissonance inherent in preaching both "Sakurai can add literally whatever he wants, it's his game" and anti-DKC propaganda.

the sad thing is thats true.

Sakurai says he doesn't do favoritism, yet he lies.

I used to not be on that train, due to not adding any new Kirby character until Brawl, but this game is REALLY driving that point home with all the attention KI is getting.
KI honestly isn't a franchise worth THIS MUCH representation over something like DONKEY KONG.

No. He carries his baseball bat!
