REGGIE CONFIRMS CRANKY KONG IN DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: TROPICAL FREEZE AT VGX

[CroonerMike]

Guys, that video was from another video. Just cause it happens to show DKCTF in the back ground does not mean it's the demo....Alright never mind. I hope it is DKCTF just so you guys can cry more.

 

[MasteRMerF]

It could be a fake-out. Doubt it, but it could be.

Actually thinking about it, I'm kind of hoping that was old footage they used just for that.

Nintendo, I truly love you. You gave us Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Super Smash Bros., Pokemon, some of the greatest video games of all time. However, I believe I speak for a lot of people when I say you will pay for your mistake of featuring Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, a game that has no hype whatsoever, over Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and/or 3DS, which has extreme hype. It wouldn't matter which character it is, we just wanted something new. So, I politely tip my hat to you in sarcasm, and wish that you don't smell the chloroform.

Sincerely,
Anonymous Teenager

EDIT: Wait, it's old footage. I forgive you. FOR NOW.

7:20, I think that pretty much shows what to expect.

Well at least there's a good chance we'll get a new character later this week seeing as it's the 2nd week of the month...

Cranky Kong's cool, but he's not enough to warrant myself from taking a half hour break from studying for finals.


EDIT: Old footage? Hmm, maybe I'll stick around then.

 

[The Real Gamer]

No offense to DK fans out there but Nintendo why show off Tropical Freeze?? It's not a definitive system seller that's gonna generate anywhere close to the amount of hype that Smash 4, Zelda Wii U, or even Mario Kart 8 could.

Lost opportunity IMO... Oh well.

EDIT: Wait there's still hope??

 

[APC99]

If it is indeed old footage, well then, I've suddenly got some Mountain Dew at my side. How long? Another hour?

 

[PadWarrior]

Guys it's an old vid!! It has no bearing on VGX.

Dear Anonymous Teenager,

Sorry about no Smash. We wanted to... but your bodies weren't ready.

Sincerely,
Reggie

You know thats just stock footage of a previous GTTV episode Reggie was in recently right?

I'm actually really amused at the massive backlash this is getting

People don't read.

 

[Kamikazek]

So...when did everyone go from being hyped about Tropical Freeze to treating it like it's the scum of gaming? I mean I realize that it's a bad choice for that particular awards show and that it's not Smash Bros., but people are acting like promoting Tropical Freeze at an award show no one cared about a week ago is the most disappointing thing Nintendo have done in their entire history.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does..Donkey Kong really deserve to be hyped up like this? I'd rather see Zelda.

Yes it does.

DKC used to be one of the best selling franchises of all time

 

[TheRealHeroOfWinds]

I bet you smash will still be shown.

Same footage guys. There's still a chance for Smash.

Yes it does.

Is it really? I knew it was a good game but I never knew that.

People are disappointed because the thing they're probably going to be showing off has already been leaked.

 

[PadWarrior]

Do people not read? It's old footage. Has nothing to do with what happens today.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Welp, sorry, can't say I follow GTTV or anything like that.

Either way, I'm still not going to keep my expectations high.

 

[MasteRMerF]

So old footage, huh?...I mean...I knew that...

Cause we've already seen Tropical Freeze gameplay at E3... We want to see something new.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

According to Wikipedia, the DK franchise has sold over 53.994 million. That's more than Kirby(and Megaman, actually)

 

[Pazzo.]

Dear Reggie,

You sly dog.

Sincerely, Bill Cipher.

Fixed.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

We already saw Smash gameplay at E3 too.

Since they have a new character to show off, one who hasn't been playable in a DKC game before, I'm curious to see how Cranky works.

 

[Jumpman84]

Well, there's one more hour to go...

 

[The Real Gamer]

We already saw Smash gameplay at E3 too.

If you could even call it that... That Megaman vs Mario face off was about as bare bones as you can get. We've seen tons of Tropical Freeze footage already.

But this is a pointless convo considering we still don't know what's in store for us.

 

[Deleted member]

*gets popcorn ready*
This is gonna be good...
Not the show. What will come after the announcement.

I want to really see more of Wii Fit Trainer, Peach, Toon Link, Olimar and Marth in footage, they didn't show off too much with them.

So, how are you gusy passing the time? I'm playing Mega Man 2, Castlevania, Metroid and a bit of Wind Waker, as well as watching Game Grumps.

TF has been treated like a red headed step child since it was first revealed. It's probably going to be even better than Returns but people were massively butthurt that Retro wasn't working on Metroid or another Nintendo IP. I'm looking forward to it but, yeah, it's not a very hyped game.

Playing piano for my piano final in class on monday. Yuck :/

If it's not Smash or Zelda then keep pushin'.

Laying on the couch, sick as a dog, glued to my computer, playing AA5.

 

[MoonlapseOpethian]

I can't wait until it's over, because whether there's a reveal or not, this page is gonna light up with either excitement or complaint.

Obviously, I'd prefer a reveal, but seeing everyone mega upset might be somewhat hilarious.

 

[PadWarrior]

Laying on the couch, sick as a dog, glued to my computer, playing AA5.

Hope you feel better!

 

[Pazzo.]

Hope you feel better!

Thank you. You know, not most people on the boards care to wish a quick recovery. Most of the time, they're arguing over Ridley's size!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

It's gonna be Cranky...

I can feel it, but my hype won't let me calm down...

HELP!

Playing Super Mario 3D World.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Holy **** we have flying lawnmowers now?

I'm gonna use this version of the gif instead of the original from now on.

I recommend playing Wind Waker.

You'll forget about everything and begin to enter a state of happiness.
