K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

[Tortilla Noggin]

I've heard people actually liked the bongos. It would've definitely been better if they stuck with the bongos instead of using the Wiimote/Nunchuk.

I've never played it, but I can see just from the video how the bongos would've worked better for it, since hitting a drum isn't the same sort of movement as shaking a remote.

I don't think it's been posted in here yet, but Kongversation hosts Hyle and Chad had a chance to go to this year's E3, and just released a new episode detailing their interactions with all the Rare staff members in attendance. Three hours into the podcast, they drop a rather interesting tidbit muhrelevant to us as DK fans...David Wise is currently composing music for a new Nintendo project.

Whether that's a new DKC, a new 3D DK, DKR2, the odds seem good it's something relating to the franchise he's known for scoring so masterfully (it could be something unexpected from a different franchise too, to be fair, but we can keep our fingers crossed).

David Wise + Kremlings + Donkey Kong Country + current gen 3-D graphics = biggest dong expansion ever.

Though the other project could be Yooka-Laylee as well which is also awesome.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Oh baby oh yes.
If it is another DKC, I've loved the idea of being able to pick 2 out of a selection of 5 or 6 Kongs. As in, you can play as any combination of DK, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, maybe Funky, and some 6th Kong. This makes for a load of different ways to play.
For the Sixth Kong I'm not sure if they should bring back one of the DK crew members or come up with a new guy. I'm curious about what kind of Kong they can think up, there hasn't been a new one in a while.

 

[StormC]

I feel like the only one who genuinely likes the PAON voice.

Crocodile roars would be super dope though, not gonna lie.

They can give him any voice as long as he makes the AHNK sound when he's launched really hard.

 

[Tortilla Noggin]

If they do that, I genuinely think I would laugh every single time.

 

[Bedoop]

Dixie, you're cool and all, and I'ma let you finish, but

These Two > You

If David Wise is doing something Nintendo related, odds are extremely good its DK-related. It could be something else, but I'd say there's a slim chance of that.

 

[Dustydog96]

They definitely have to stay true to the "AHNK" noise K. Rool makes! It would be such a perfect throwback to his first appearance! <3333333

 

[Dustydog96]

My question right now is, is it Diddy Kong Racing or Donkey kong Country/3D Wii U? Either way anything DK related is good news but I'd prefer another core donkey kong game myself right now. Since we just got mario kart wii u last year I'm pretty good on racing games for now Would still day one purchase diddy kong racing either way ofc.

Edit: ORRRRRRR, is it DONKEY KONG RACING Wii U? The successor to barrel blast?!

There's no way we'd get a sequel to Barrel Blast. That said, I'm sure Nintendo has definitely considered the possibility of a new DK racing game. They had DKR, the canned Donkey Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Pilot, DKR DS and Barrel Blast. With the failure of Barrel Blast, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd consider going back to Diddy Kong Racing instead... and it'd honestly be better to have a DKR game two years after Mario Kart then literally the year after it.


I honestly don't think a DKR game two years after Mario Kart would be that different from a main series DK game 2.5 years after TF. The only exception would be a 3D DK game, which is definitely the most likely option barring another developer doing DKCR3.

As I think about it more and more if the next Donkey Kong related game were to come out early-mid 2016 a 3d donkey game could be very possible. At first I was thinking it was unlikely because dk64, the last full 3D hub world game was 100% rare made. But if the next DK game is scheduled for release 2 years after Tropical freeze I could see that being a very likely possibility. I'd be pretty hyped for another 3d dk game.

It definitely won't be in the first half of 2016 because it wasn't announced yet. If anything, it'd be mid-to-late 2016. Which will be almost 3 years after TF.

 

[FalKoopa]

Weren't there rumours of a new Diddy Kong Racing supposedly in developement? What happened to those?

 

[G-Guy]

Just to spark the giddiness in all of you, but what if David Wise is actually working on new arrangements for a Gangplank Galleon Stage that comes with K.Rool as Smash DLC


(God have mercy if i'm correct on this)

I want that as his Star KO scream.

Considering that he only said "Nintendo project" and not game this may be possible.
Be it Smash DLC or a new Donkey Kong game this is a WIN+WIN situation for us.

 

[MandoBardanJusik]

Seems to me that DK Barrel Blast was actually a decent game that would have been a better one(and sold better) without the motion controls

 

[Diddy Kong]

It only gets better now...

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

 

[Diddy Kong]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

He could inherrit some of Bowser's older, far slower playstyle but I personally have real big issues with K.Rool preforming Bowser's Flamebreath and Whirling Fortress. Side B and especially Down B would fit yes, but that's about it. They are both big strong reptilian kings, but there's still a huge difference between a spikey shelled fire breathing turtle and a crocodile.

 

[Thelimomon]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

Of course, he would!
With his iconic fire breath and typical wrestling moves!
And don't forget his shell, in that he can spin around to gain height and attack for his up and down Smash...
And his horns on his head for his side smash...

Edit: 'd

 

[DJ3DS]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

Ah, that old classic. The mainstay argument given by people who've literally never seen him in a game and have no grasp on his character other than "oh look, a big reptile!".

I mean, realistically you could make K Rool a clone to some extent, but at least as far as special moves go it'd make far more sense to clone Dedede, and then you'd have to give him a completely different set of standard moves. The only similarity he has to Bowser in terms of specials could be the Ground Pound if you're dull enough to make that a special.

I honestly would like a faster K Rool with more lag to his moves.

 

[Luigi player]

I'd really love a new 3D adventure for the Kongs in the style of DK64.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I'd really love a new 3D adventure for the Kongs in the style of DK64.

Camelot expressed interest in making a sequal to DK64.

http://nintendoeverything.com/camelot-president-would-like-to-work-on-donkey-kong-dk64-sequel/

And I'd absolutely LOVE IT if they ever actually went through with this.

Of course I also want them to make Golden Sun to.

 

[BKupa666]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

What was the context? There were fans on here saying that, because Bowser got revamped to be faster and more humanoid in Smash 4, K. Rool could fill his old niche of being slow and bestial.

Any other context, though, deserves this sort of reaction.

 

[TCT~Phantom]

If they do choose six Kongs, here are my suggestions
DK
Diddy
Dixie
Cranky
Kiddy
Lanky

 

[FalKoopa]

I just talked to someone that just said K Rool would be like Brawl Bowser...

Design-wise or balance-wise?

Design-wise, it's possible. And I wouldn't really mind it.
Balance-wise though, nope. We have patches.

 

[Burruni]

6 Kong layout?


Dixie
Cranky
Funky
Then choose one of the 64 Kongs.

 

[FalKoopa]

My list would be:
Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, Lanky, Funky and Cranky.

Kiddie is kind of like DK himself, same for Dixie and Tiny, and Chunky's niche doesn't quite work in a 2D platformer.

 

[BowserK.Rool]

For me, DK, Diddy, Dixie, Kiddie, Chunky and Lanky. I'd like to see all the Kongs from their previous games together again, plus I enjoyed playing as Chunky in DK64 with his primate punch and all. I'd rather see Cranky helping and insulting you at the side like he should be doing like in the past games. And I'd prefer Funky to stick to being the shop keeper or the Funky Flights handler again.

 

[JaidynReiman]

Nothing at this point. Could be happening, could be false. That said, I still think its decently likely due to everything going on with Diddy right now. Diddy Kong trademark (Europe or Canada...?), lack of appearance in MK8 while Link and Animal Crossing get in of all characters, and now he's in Mario & Sonic and will probably be in other future Mario spinoffs, so why was he left out of MK8?


Also, these are some of the same points Kevin Callahan made, but the guy is an idiot and doesn't actually know anything for a fact. Considering he just posted another article saying the NX is releasing next year for $150 and Diddy Kong Racing will be on it. I can still see DKR happening (I'm 50/50 on it at this point), but not because of Kevin Callahan.

It was Europe, I think UK specifically for that trademark.

Been calling it since the "Diddy Kong" trademark; Retro's new game is a DKC game and King K. Rool is going to return. Barring anti-miracles, it is only a matter of time before our King finally returns. Now what I would like to see is Grant Kirkhope also helping to compose new music as well.

It took less than a year for Diddy Kong Racing to get released on the Nintendo 64 after Mario Kart 64. Not that any of us are expecting Diddy Kong Racing 2 this year but I don't see the issue with releasing Diddy Kong Racing one and a half years after Mario Kart 8 since by the vast majority of their sales have already been made. That said, my favorite choice would be a 3D Donkey Kong game.

I said K Rool would most likely be the first ballot character and then he said great Bowser from Brawl is back or somewhere along those lines.

Same here, I'd like to see him return to voice DK as well. I like that one over the current scooby-doo voice. And if they can, get the voice actor who played K. Rool in DK64 as well.

 

[StormC]

Hopefully K. Rool doesn't have Bowser's old run cycle...
