Time to get back on K. Rool's Krazy Spekulation Train!

So when do you think our beloved King will be announced for DLC?

Mewtwo: "Oh, ohohohohoh! Oh my! I can't wait to be the only DLC character! :D"

Wow you guys. Like 5 of the character speculation threads I had posted in the past just got active again. And while this brings some hope for K. Rool DLC, I still think people are underestimating the difference in popularity between him and Mewtwo.

Still not sure if Nintendo plans to take a DLC character plan for how long or just doing Mewtwo. For now, I think we will be lucky if we get 2-3 characters per year. They really wanted to to emphasize that just making one character for this kind of game takes many months of development (you can check Killer Instinct on the XBone for and example of how often they add new characters).

Concluding, if there is a moment where we needed to make a petition for K. Rool DLC and send it to Nintendo. The moment is now.

Mewtwo is way and beyond the most popular character not in the game, but K. Rool is VERY close. K. Rool is extremely popular and highly requested. He's a lot more popular and requested than half the newcomers characters in the game right now.


So, these forums are open again?

Sooooo having a 3DS trophy doesn't deconfirm the character.

K. Rool hype is back on.

Well, it DOES deconfirm a character... for being in the games by default. But they can be added later as DLC, which I never once doubted.

And with Ridley pretty much out of the question for DLC, he face very little competition in the demands department.

K Rool was not nearly requested as much as Mewtwo. However, with Ridley gone and Mewtwo confirmed, K Rool is now the most requested.

I want to say next month when the original DKC games are put back on the virtual console in celebration of dkc's 20th anniversary but hey, who knows, could be next year too.

And when I said he's more popular than at least "half" the characters in the game, I'm pretty confident he IS the most popular/requested character over every newcomer except Mega Man, but that depends on if the information I heard is accurate, which it may not be. Either way, K. Rool is extremely popular, even if he's not as popular as Mewtwo he's quite close.

I think its more likely that they'd announce a new DK game or Tropical Freeze expansion pack or something, but we'll see.

On another note, could we try to do a unified effort this time? I mean I know we have the separate and direct ways to show our support, but if there was a way for us to unify our support, and to show that we are many, it may make a greater impact

So we're going back to the old thread now. Good to be back.

I said this on the Dixie thread a minute ago but the Jungle Hijinx stage is friggin' incredible. I don't even care that it's another jungle.

So I was planning on becoming a supporter a while back but then the esrb leak happened and I unfortunately lost most hope for new characters. But now that you guys are back in business, do you mind adding me as a supporter :)? Aside from the waifu in my profile pic, K.Rool is my most wanted smash inclusion.

Great to do this again:

It's good to be the king.

With K. Rool back in business, it's time to put my own efforts forward into attempting for DLC and getting back something that's been overdue.

If the supporters list is going to be updated then throw me on it.
With Mewtwo striking back and Ridley as some sort of semi-character ally-boss thingy K. Rool is far and away the most popular DLC candidate, and most deserving as well. Personally I think Wolf and Lucas have a better chance as vets, especially Wolf with Starfox U, but K. Rool looks a very good chance.

I personally think that the vets will be released alongside a bigger character. Vets are easier to do than a fully new character. I'd think it'd work maybe like this:

Lucas releases in a DLC pack alongside Mewtwo, Wolf alongside K. Rool six months after Mewtwo/Lucas released. I could see it happening like that. Or potentially vets could be releases between the bigger ones, there's possibilities like that as well.


However, K. Rool's popularity is a huge boon for him. Granted, the best case scenario I see is K. Rool released alongside a semiclone Dixie Kong and Gangplank Galleon as a stage. But I'm holding out hope for just K. Rool at this point.

Feels good to be back. I'm hoping that Mewtwo is part of a bundle of new fighters featuring K. Rool of course. Probably aiming a little too high for that one though. Still, the future is looking up for the Kaptain.

I don't think Mewtwo will be "part" of a bundle. If anything, Mewtwo would be released "alongside" a bundle, because Mewtwo has a special way to get him. If you purchase said "bundle" you can get Mewtwo, but otherwise you can get Mewtwo for free by purchasing both versions of the game.


Granted, it is possible that Mewtwo will be purchasable individually.

Something that I thought of.

For awhile, the general consensus was that Tropical Freeze was too new to get any content. Yet Cranky's trophy mentions it, and we glimpsed a Fish Poker Pops trophy today. That means that they definitely knew about Tropical Freeze. This makes the overall lack of DK content even more baffling, but there's something else. Despite there being two new DK games not featuring K. Rool, he is still referred to as DK's arch enemy in his trophy description.

Time to blow off the layer of dust and get back to business in our classic headquarters, huh? Alright, then!

Something tells me we might get some sort of DK DLC content to coincide with either DKC's re-release on the VC or the rumored Diddy Kong Racing Wii U.

It's nice to actually have stages again, and beggars can't be choosers. . .but I'm still a little sad it's three jungles and 75m. Hopefully we'll see something new down the road, since Yoshi's Wooly Word -and- Mario Kart 8 both have new stages.

DKC is finally coming to VC? Aw heck yeah! I might buy that and the others if they come.

And with Mewtwo confirmed and Ridley dead (*sob*) K.Rool, Dixie and Isaac get my full attention.

Kuthroats!

Now is the time! We ain't over yet. And this is where things get real.

I feel like K. Rool is the most likely DLC newcomer.
I still feel like we'll get most, if not all, veterans as DLC.

Nice to see the thread back up.

Anyway, I'm hoping for the best with King K. Rool. With Ridley dead he's the last character standing that I've wanted for the long time, and I'm hoping that the efforts put forth will be enough to convince Sakurai he's worth it. Fingers krossed fellow kutthroats, our king needs to arrive!

I still say Isaac due to circumstances surrounding lack of GS content, but K. Rool is looking far more likely again to me. If popularity has any say in it, K. Rool would undoubtedly be the top pick.
