After watching the DK Bananza Direct, I'm 💯 sold
-
This game has been on my radar since its initial announcement, but I've been on the fence because I was worried it was just a Mario game without Mario.
But after watching the direct a little bit ago, I'm convinced this game is going to be a pinch of Mario, a pinch of Zelda, and just a whole bucket of fun.
REALLY excited to pick this up day of release.
Kinda looks like a Rareware game, although maybe I'm just making that connection because I played Donkey Kong 64 as a kid.

Totally didn't have Donkey Kong: Hollow Earth on my Nintendo innovation bingo card. Might have to pick up a Switch 2 if we're all still alive after the holidays.
Nintendo seems to be in their Lost World/Hollow Earth phase with games like ToTK and the most recent pokemon games.

video was so cringy, especially the voice explaining things that I couldn't watch beyond punch being explained twice followed by just the name of the the second ability being explained, dive punch.
If we get to the point of switch2 piracy or I get a chance to play it on someone else's dime I will, but this video is selling it worse than plain gameplay footage would have. You don't have to explain destructible voxel terrain like it was just invented for the first time while treating every digging direction like a unique thing, twice.
The VO was supposed to be cringy and over the top. IMO for adults it's just silly and for kids it's that funny intensity. Either way, I'd bet Nintendo did that on purpose.
As far as piracy goes, like... why? Either borrow it from a friend, your library (many rent video games), buy a used copy on discount, or just save up and buy it if you want to play it that bad.

Does DK finally have a chance at Mario’s ex?
Apparently Pauline is 13 in this game so..... let's hope not.

I am really excited! To the point that I kinda wish I didn't watch it for spoilers. My daughter was already excited for it from the first trailer so I knew I was going to get it anyway. Really happy about the 2-player and assist modes as well. I will keep the direct video a secret from my daughter so she won't be spoiled, but I've already watched it twice myself lol

It basically looks like DK Galaxy/Odyssey but the gameplay looks pretty solid. I am honest the whole Pauline as the little sibling coop character role feels like it could be better served by Diddy Kong. I also don’t like her design either though. I guess they wanted a character to be able to speak for DK.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]When I saw the previews earlier this spring I was like... "that looks neat". Like in a "I'm gonna wait and maybe pick it up in a year kind of way.
This Direct probably sold me a switch 2 this weekend. I was already looking at MKW with a bit of envy but now I'm kind of feeling like "fuck it, the family doesn't reaaaaaally need groceries next month right?"

Wait, is there a multiverse of Paulines now?

If Donkey Kong doesn't have a rap in this game I'm going to riot
The direct had a little snippet of the DK rap!
