Not saying he shouldn't come back at all. Good stuff is best enjoyed in moderation, is all I'm sayin'.
I imagine it might have something to do with the DK Arcade/Jetpac games included in them. Or maybe having to negotiate with Rare.
Its an overused Nintendo boss concept that's been in atleast 7 games, and the fight still had more to it than:
Sorry about that. I guess frequently reading comments and posts on various sites about what Returns didn't have started to pile up in my mind. I feel that even though a handful of my favorite things weren't in, Returns did a great job with what they did revive with Cranky's personality, the music, the levels, barrel 'puzzles', mine carts, difficulty and Rambi. It felt like a DKC game even though it had its own things and didn't return all the old stuff.Look, I recognize that, and I also recognize that I had a great deal of fun with the game, and that the levels were excellently designed. You might misunderstand my issue, or I misunderstand your issue with my issue, but my complaint about K. Rool missing and the characters is that the other DKC games built up on the characters that we really got to know, and since DKCR was supposed to be a revival, not seeing that was a big disappointment in my eyes.
I just don't understand why the Kremlings had to be replaced. They could have easily been in the game and it could have the same or a similar plot, and all the fans would have been happy. That, and once again I found the Tiki's to not have any personality compared to the Kremlings. K. Rool from the very beginning was built up to be a scheming douche, but a blundering scheming douche. It doesn't matter because it's done, but as long as the Kremlings aren't gone forever, I'm honestlly not bothered.
Edit: What's wrong with Candy and Swanky?
I imagine Nintendo wouldn't want to cut into DK VC sales, especially since the DK64 version is an emulated arcade game.
But they've stopped doing that since they launched the VC.
They didn't for a while though. After TP they were complaining that Ganon was appearing too much.
Isn't that what the Zelda fanbase is infamously known for nowaday's... :/
Fixed for ya!
Replace "Zelda" with pretty much every fanbase. Except, like, maybe Kirby.
Miyamoto told Retro to definitely keep Cranky and the original music, but let them decide everything else, which they decided to redesign from scratch. The Miyamoto bit largely comes from that decade(?) old interview where he allegedly claimed DKC was mediocre except for its graphics (a claim he brought up himself and refuted in a more recent 2010 interview).
Probably still upset that DKC did better than Yoshi's Island.I think the DK vine was responsible for that rumor.
I know Miyamoto said that. I think the "Miyamoto said to remove every thing from the previous games xcept DK, Diddy, and Cranky" was rumor someone there made up.
I mean, I think this just shows he's more indifferent to DKC's characters than anything. I think he may have had a bitterness towards it for getting better ratings than Yoshi's Island, but that was 20 years ago. It seems to me that he just wanted to put it in someone's hands, but that Cranky and Diddy had grown on him. I don't see an anti-Kremling crusade here.

All this does is make me more positive of K. Rool in Smash. This thread has been really helpful tonight!
Heh, that's really all I wanted to make sure of. The only thing standing in K. Rool's way in my mind was the possibility of Miyamoto not liking the Kremlings to the point of really stupid intervention. Hey, maybe the Kong family was getting too large, but I think for the most part that was just Retro's thinking. They can do their own thing as long as they don't alienate K. Rool from his series forever. From the sound of it, they didn't plan on doing another DKC game anywho.
