You're the first person I've ever seen call DKC: Tropical Freeze "shallow" and not "amazing."
Yup, Isaac's awesome. Been my #2 right behind K. Rool ever since the start.
Lol, I'm one of the ones who started it.I joined the supporters before that was the thing we did to new supporters.
So I never got one.
Bosses were underwhelming(except Bashmaster), the alt Kongs are just boost packs, and the enemy's can't compare to the Kremlings.
Ooh, King of Swing is coming now, too? Sweet. I heard it wasn't that bad overall.
You've basically summed up the only flaws most people cite about the game. The Kongs need to be separate characters like in the classic and be freely played as, and the Kremlings need to come back. Otherwise the Returns games are a nice return to classic DKC formula.
Don't tell me you actually thought the bosses were underwhelming! The bosses were a major improvement over Returns and were a high point of this game. The bosses in Tropical Freeze were actually difficult and made me die a few times before I could adapt to their pattern. They weren't simple 3-hit bosses like most platformers nowadays have (granted Returns didn't have those either, but the bosses in this game have like 9 hits a piece! NINE!).
I definitely agree with the lack of being able to play as separate Kongs. It'd be fun to play through an entire level with each one too, or at least have different Kong-binations, like Diddy and Cranky using the Rocket Barrel and Cane Pogo Stick (a la Scrooge McDuck) or Diddy and Dixie working in tandem like the good ol' days... (Even though I never grew up with them, I just downloaded the entire trilogy - currently going through the second world of DKC1.)
Lol, Crashboards prevented me from replying.
Do It!
Jump on them for them to not be rolling, then jump on them again.
The only DK reps I'd like added are King K Rool or Pauline.
Dude, it took me almost 20 tries to finally beat those 3 annoying baboons! And that giant puffer fish was no easy pie either. And as much as Frederick was a knockoff of King K. Rool, even he took me a while to beat too.
Yeah, those guys are a pain in the butt. The problem is that when you bounce back, they start rolling again so quickly you just keep bouncing off of them. The best way I've found is to cartwheel into them. You recover quicker from cartwheeling, then you can do another quick cartwheel to finish them off. Its still tough to hit them before they roll up again, but this is the best way I've found. If possible I just avoid them, because bouncing off of them can easily knock you right off a narrow ledge.
So bad it's good. Helps that the music itself is great.
THIS TIMES 10! I love DK as much as the next guy, but I love Diddy and Dixie more. I have argued many times over the internet why I think the tag team style from the past games and the new buddy system can coexist. I would liked to have variety. I do hope Retro incorporates the mechanic in their next game or, at least, let me play as the other kongs from the beginning without me having to go through all of the trouble.
Are King of Swing and Jungle Climber decent games? I have never played them before.
Opinion is usually that Jungle Climber is atrocious. But I played, and it was ok. Can't say anything on King of Swing though.
I've never played them, but its an interesting concept. I'd like to try it myself.
I wouldn't rule it out all-together. Its still probably more likely than Flying Kroc. I wouldn't mind making a Gangplank Galleon stage regardless, though.
Don't you mean ROOL it out? *Insert laugh track here*
Maybe it's an unlockable stage in the game? If anything I'm now expecting a Flying Kroc or even a DK64 related stage for dlc.
Can't say I blame ya lol.
I love the electric guitar at the beginning and in the background; it almost reminds me of the DKC cartoon opening theme. I wish the track were an entire remix of just that, although the Kong voices are an amusing touch as well. I'll have this track turned up pretty high in frequency, alongside the K. Rool theme (it plays on Kongo Jungle 64).
I kind of think that's fake pseudo-asvertising for the VC. I mean c'mon!The current COO of Nintendo of America didn't play an NES game until 2006. Discuss.
The same thing I would do if we got a Mysterious Murasame Castle medley.
I may be wrong, but NES wasn't a very K.Rool centric system.
Weren't the Kremlings originally designed to appear as enemies in Battletoads? That totally counts, r-right?
Well I'm pretty sure that new Battletoads game was going to be on the SNES. (I think they were going to appear in a never made sequel to Battletoads. Don't quote me on that though).
