I've been playing through Wario Land: Shake It and it's great. The only thing I can see in it that some people don't like is when you fail a mission you want to complete in a level and end up wanting to restart multiple times to get it. Other than that, Wario feels powerful to control, the difficulty makes levels feel satisfying and anime Wario looks amazing. Only reason I think Nintendo stopped the series afterwards is that it took too much effort to make the graphics for the game, so they made it a little shorter which people didn't like.
At least we got Anton Blast and Pizza Tower... F-Zero has had multiple spiritual successors and a 99 game... Just look for what you love in different spaces. I guarantee you'll find what you want.
I saw something recently about Monster Hunter celebrating its 20th anniversary and my first thought was "we've been waiting half of MH's entire existence for a new DK game"
I’d argue DK’s worse off. Thanks to his appearances in Mario media, general Nintendo fans don’t seem to think the brand is being neglected. Ever since the buyout, DK’s association with Mario has consistently weighed the franchise down.
I just want any game with DK branding. Everything we’ve gotten recently has been under Mario’s thumb, even when it represents the brand more. I just want something, anything that shows DK is something more than Mario’s accessory to Nintendo. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’d even take a Konga game at this point.
It’s not exactly ideal, and it’s definitely the last part of the franchise I want revived, but it would be something. I just want something for DK that isn’t tethered to Mario.
@@BitestheStuff there are rumors for pretty much everything, 99% of them are bs though. Nothing except the Zelda live-action movie has been announced officially since.
You know, even if you fellas don't get a new mainline Donkey Kong game in the foreseeable future, we can all at least agree that Tropical Freeze was a PHENOMENAL Finale for the Mainline Series to go out on! Like if Tropical Freeze is likely gonna be The LAST Mainline Donkey Kong Game, then I think I can comfortably live that honestly...
No, there is no reason to stop the series. F-Zero ended on a big high too and still new games in the last 20 years would have been way better than none. There is no reason to stop a series except when they have no ideas/interest to do another one.
@@orangeslash1667 I know...great remake of the original, but not really a new game making the next step after GX...I hope though they're testing the waters with this for more.
This video caught my attention as I was scrolling, because of the intro. I love the drawn out coffee preparation solely for the purpose of revealing the DK mug. That was enough of a payoff, but then it turned into full on monkey madness for a bit and I had a good laugh! I haven't even made it past the minute mark yet, I just wanted to compliment that opening 🍌🦍
They're definitely up to something. The lingering question is what exactly, and when will we finally catch wind of it? Nintendo's recent heavy marketing push for Donkey Kong indicates they haven't forgotten about him. From his upcoming appearance in the Super Mario Bros. film to the expansion of the theme park at Universal Park, along with King K. Rool's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, it's clear Donkey Kong is getting attention. However, I'm hopeful we won't have to endure another 5 to 7 years of waiting for something substantial. Even a well-executed comeback might struggle if a franchise has been dormant for too long, as evidenced by the lukewarm receptions to Crash Bandicoot 4 and Psychonauts 2.
Crash 4 and Psychonauts 2 are both excellent games, and I think the only reason reception of them was lukewarm is because there are almost too many other options in the gaming landscape. Gaming is even more competitive now than it was back in the 90s, with so much to choose from, any platformer that isn't Mario is pretty likely to be ignored. I was just replaying Psychonauts 2 again, and it still holds up as my favorite game of 2021.
Im just glad we have a channel where us DK fans can come back to discuss and talk about Donkey Kong stuff. Pass the copium over, lemme get a hit offa that 🍌
Pikmin had something similar with its website, originally it lead you to Pikmin 3's website, but eventually the website was removed, and then was changed for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. So the DK website redirecting you to the mynintendo page instead of the page for Tropical Freeze could mean something
I just hope David Wise makes a return on whatever project/title they release in the future. You can NOT have donkey kong without the phenomenal soundtrack. No matter what they decide to do with Donkey Kong and his family, I know I have these soundtracks and the memories of playing and growing up with these games. ❤️
At least games like Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Kaze and the Wild Masks exist to *somewhat* fill the void but a new DK is desperately needed yeah.
M V. DK is a good throwback to Donkey Kong '94, but it is just another Mario game, and DK is reduced to NPC bad guy in it. Which isn't what most DK fans want. I for one prefer to see DK as the Hero, not as another goomba for Mario to stomp.
As both a Metroid and DK fan I just today realised that DK actually had it worse than Metroid twice...the gap between Super and Prime/Fusion was 8 years, between DK64 and DKC Returns it was 11 (spin-offs don't count). Between Other M and Samus Returns it were 7 years...now already 10 since Tropical Freeze and counting. oO And that even despite DK selling better than Metroid. Nintendo is weird...
Ice Climbers probably won't see anything outside Smash and then there's Earthbound that technically hasn't gotten a new game since the SNES (at least in the states, officially). Many franchises, all in the boiler room just waiting.
I think it's a consequence of their attitude that seems to be only Retro can make DK games right, everything in the theme park is branded around those games after all, mostly. (Tiki Tong even appears in the marketing, regrettably) With them occupied with Metroid, maybe that means no mainline DK, and therefore no new spinoffs until they have something new to work from. I think there is a plan to end that situation and make DK able to get consistent releases again, but that comes after they figure out who's going to be doing what going forward. I think the plan was to decouple metroid from Retro as we got lots of releases from other studios, but they couldn't get the spices right so now we're in a DK draught until Prime 4 is done.
Which is weird cause they made one of my personal favorite DKs on their own in Jungle Beat. Koizumi headed that and is still around, but guess he was busy with Wonder.
If they use DK to demonstrate the fidelaty of a new system, it better still be a good game. Returns and Tropical Freeze are so good as games not graphics and I know they can keep the streak going in regards to gameplay and beautiful worlds. Hope they keep the New/Funky mode for new players and retain Original mode for people like me who love a good challenging DK.
Sometimes being a fan of a ever so little niche Nintendo franchise is waiting and waiting and being in pain. Reminds me of the guy who paid 40k to ask where the hell are the F-Zero games at a professional meeting at Nintendo's HQ and their only reply was "We make games".
Really thankful to see more people like yourself having hope for DK yet 🙏 The sheer amount of things they're doing for DK while still being under Mario's tight iron grip is astounding, certainly the most amount of things we've seen pop up for him in the past decade since Tropical Freeze, I don't think all this build-up is for nothing, one way or the other.. Donkey Kong WILL receive rightful justice~ 😤
Well...Pikmin fans had a nearly 10 year gap between games...SURELY they've been cooking up *something* DK related (excluding Mario) between Tropical Freeze and now...SURELY... ... I'm losing hope. The Donkey Kope is real.
To think the mario franchise technically started out as a Donkey Kong spin off, to now having DK not going anywhere without Mario in some form is truely sad.
For years I've been hoping to see a new Donkey Kong at every E3 (Rip) or every Nintendo Direct, but unfortunately that was in vain. However, I believe that this will change soon. If you look back over the past few years, you can see that Nintendo hasn't forgotten Donkey Kong. Examples 2014-2023: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for Wii U in 2014 and for Nintendo Switch in 2018 Mario + Rabbids Donkey Kong DLC Lots of Kong references in Super Mario Odyssey King K. Rool for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Donkey Kong Country 1-3 for NSO Lego Donkey Kong figure Playable Kongs in Mario Kart Tour Presence of many Kongs in the Mario film A Donkey Kong area is being built at the Nintendo theme park You can see that Nintendo cares about the Donkey Kong franchise. There may even be a Donkey Kong film planned for the future and I think more games can also be expected. It's only a matter of time.
The fate of DK is very interesting though I also have a fear he’s gonna end up like Megaman, an ip that gets a resurgence that gives hope that the company will lead to new games coming out on a consistent basis…then proceeding to die outside of merchandise and advertising…I hope he doesn’t get Megaman’d
An important question linked to this is what the hell did Retro Studios do all those years between 2014 and 2019?? I hope we'll get that DidYouKnowGaming video one day that finally reveals this 5 year long mystery of nothing happening with one of Nintendo's best studios. Of course it's the one that handles DK and Metroid of all IPs...
We're here for you, Al. For what it's worth, I just finished streaming the entirety of entirety of Tropical Freeze on my channel, and it was the greatest time I've had with a game in years. Fantastic title. *Retro Studios WAKE UP-*
Honestly, I do think we’re getting a donkey Kong game soon just with the amount of representation we’re getting for the series it just wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t do that I’m sorry you donkey Kong fans had to go through this pretty shirt and towels trying to build up pipe for this. I hope you all have an amazing year and God bless you all.
When I got wind that the next Donkey Kong game was gonna be a Mario VS game I loudly declared "who gives a shit?" Then I saw its a remake of the first one on GBA and said "oh, word? Nevermind, I'm good"
If I had to guess they might be waiting for the next console, They might have ran in to technical limitations with the one unreleased title might have just been under too much constraint from the Switch to handle and without a second console to back them up (like with the home console and mobile console market until this point where they've outright merged it) they probably have that game on the shelves for something a bit beefier while also trying to save on production cost. I could be wrong as I'm just basing it off the leaked gameplay vs what the switch line as a whole can do but it wouldn't surprise me if a DK game comes as a launch title for this next system.
As much as I would love for Mario to step down, step aside and take a seat for a year or two to give DK the spotlight for a bit, I just know that will never happen. Nintendo, and by extension its fanbase is addicted to Mario, there would be too much violent withdrawal from the Nintendo Community if Mario took a break.... Still, it would be nice for DK to be a Star again, and not just another lickspittle in Mario's entourage.
If I can say one thing, even if it’s all tied to Mario, the increase in Donkey Kong appearances and love has made me feel optimistic about DK getting back to being used more. Like, even if DK only has solo outings every few years like Wario or Yoshi, and is tied to Mario others… that’s still a win, if it means more DK solo stuff. If DK could be on like Kirby’s level for games decently often that are still dang good? Sign me up, that is something I would love. Also… even if DK never gets an original game on Switch, at LEAST put Returns on Switch. It’s ridiculous all mainline Pikmin games are on the console when the five main Country platformers aren’t. Like, I can’t be the only one who finds it weird Tiki Tong is being used in the DK expansion for Super Nintendo World when his game is over a decade old… and that’s just keeping the 3DS port in mind! We’re teetering on 15 years for the Wii version of Returns! So just… HD it up, add the 3DS bonus levels, maybe Funky Mode again… Boom. Easy 60 dollars, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Also, 64 is a different beast entirely, since it’s tethered to the N64 Expansion Pass, and Nintendo is drip feeding that service slower than my brain trying to think of a good analogy. (And one last side note- I adore Pikmin, so I don’t want what I said to get twisted or anything. Pikmin has always been a more niche franchise than most, so for it to get all three previous games on Switch when DK can’t get a Wii game? I very much appreciate how Nintendo was advertising Pikmin to hype up Pikmin 4, and it worked… but completing the Country series in a similar vein should be a super easy ask they just haven’t done, for whatever reason. But I’m rambling and tangenting, point is I want Returns Deluxe, lol.)
Honestly wish that with the Microsoft pair up Rare could of made a modern day contract with Nintendo that allowed them to make games on their console again
Retro Studios lost their edge. Nintendo IPs not connected to them have been doing better than ever on Switch, Retro just hasn't produced a new game in a decade for some reason, and if they do come out with anything it'll probably be Metroid Prime 4.
Mega Man X fans have gone 20 years without a sequel to the latest mainline entry, X8, and as an X fan, I can confirm we’ve just kinda accepted it’s not happening, and no, I don’t consider Maverick Hunter X as Mega Man X9, that’s just a remake of the first game, not a sequel to X8.
Maybe I'm coping too but, I think DK is about to have a big comeback.

For years I've been hoping to see a new Donkey Kong at every E3 (Rip) or every Nintendo Direct, but unfortunately that was in vain. However, I believe that this will change soon. If you look back over the past few years, you can see that Nintendo hasn't forgotten Donkey Kong.

0:18 yoooo I have a DK barrel too! Except mines isn’t a cup, it’s like a pot to store pot like a flower vase
As much as I would love for Mario to step down, step aside and take a seat for a year or two to give DK the spotlight for a bit, I just know that will never happen. Nintendo, and by extension its fanbase is addicted to Mario, there would be too much violent withdrawal from the Nintendo Community if Mario took a break.... Still, it would be nice for DK to be a Star again, and not just another lickspittle in Mario's entourage.
If I can say one thing, even if it’s all tied to Mario, the increase in Donkey Kong appearances and love has made me feel optimistic about DK getting back to being used more. Like, even if DK only has solo outings every few years like Wario or Yoshi, and is tied to Mario others… that’s still a win, if it means more DK solo stuff. If DK could be on like Kirby’s level for games decently often that are still dang good? Sign me up, that is something I would love.
Also… even if DK never gets an original game on Switch, at LEAST put Returns on Switch. It’s ridiculous all mainline Pikmin games are on the console when the five main Country platformers aren’t. Like, I can’t be the only one who finds it weird Tiki Tong is being used in the DK expansion for Super Nintendo World when his game is over a decade old… and that’s just keeping the 3DS port in mind! We’re teetering on 15 years for the Wii version of Returns! So just… HD it up, add the 3DS bonus levels, maybe Funky Mode again… Boom. Easy 60 dollars, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
Also, 64 is a different beast entirely, since it’s tethered to the N64 Expansion Pass, and Nintendo is drip feeding that service slower than my brain trying to think of a good analogy.
(And one last side note- I adore Pikmin, so I don’t want what I said to get twisted or anything. Pikmin has always been a more niche franchise than most, so for it to get all three previous games on Switch when DK can’t get a Wii game? I very much appreciate how Nintendo was advertising Pikmin to hype up Pikmin 4, and it worked… but completing the Country series in a similar vein should be a super easy ask they just haven’t done, for whatever reason. But I’m rambling and tangenting, point is I want Returns Deluxe, lol.)
Me, still waiting for a new Wario game that isn't just Warioware.
The Mario Bros. stole his job as the indestructible coin-grubber!
Take my subscribe. DONKEY KONG FOREVER BABY
It sucks how long games take to make now
Honestly wish that with the Microsoft pair up Rare could of made a modern day contract with Nintendo that allowed them to make games on their console again
Fr Nintendo pretty much lost their edge
Retro Studios lost their edge. Nintendo IPs not connected to them have been doing better than ever on Switch, Retro just hasn't produced a new game in a decade for some reason, and if they do come out with anything it'll probably be Metroid Prime 4.
Now they know what it was like for us pikmin fans.
Mega Man X fans have gone 20 years without a sequel to the latest mainline entry, X8, and as an X fan, I can confirm we’ve just kinda accepted it’s not happening, and no, I don’t consider Maverick Hunter X as Mega Man X9, that’s just a remake of the first game, not a sequel to X8.
