What Happened to Donkey Kong?
Donkey Kong is an industry icon. He’s been there from the start, catapulting Nintendo into the legendary status they’re still known for today. He’s had plenty of top selling games, cartoons, a plethora of merchandise and more recently, is even being immortalized with his very own theme park. But, over the years Donkey Kong’s prominence has faded. What was once a franchise that dominated the Super Nintendo era with revolutionary titles like Donkey Kong Country, is now relegated to being just another part of the Mario cast. Nothing more than a character used to fill up a slot in a Mario Kart game. So, how did we get here?

Game Freak's Forgotten Legacy
Переглядів 1,2 тис.8 місяців тому
To most of the world Game Freak is nothing more than just the Pokémon guys. Known solely for games like Pokémon Red and Blue, and more recently the infamous Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. However, looking back it quickly becomes apparent that they’re so much more than that. Beyond the familiar gyms, and badges lies a treasure trove of games, some of which even venture outside of Nintendo’s ecosyst...

During its 1996 release, the Nintendo 64 took the world by storm.

At Least They Tried..? - Paper Mario: Color Splash
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
Just like the Wii U, it’s no secret that Paper Mario Color Splash was a massive disappointment. Its announcement during a 2016 Nintendo Direct was confirmation that the formula established with the N64 original and The Thousand Year Door was truly dead. Paper Mario Sticker Star wasn’t just some one-off experiment like we had hoped, it was the new direction for the series. But, is this truly jus...

    The DKC Trilogy on GBA gave DK fans a boon while Nintendo was fixated on Bongo gimmicks on console. DKC 1 for GBA sold almost double what Jungle Beat sold on GameCube, so it was a wake up call to Nintendo that gamers genuinely wanted more Donkey Kong Country. We have DKC on GBA to thank for DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze coming into existence.

    I remember playing this game a couple of years ago and sadly I couldn’t it because like most RPGs the gameplay boring and repetitive to the point where I just lose interest in playing the rest of the game. I’m also not a fan of how off brand the Paper Mario series because TTYD and SPM has some characters and story aspects that look really out of place for a Mario game.

  • @luisoncpp

    I'm not quite convinced that Nintendo decided to pull the plug on Donkey Kong. Don't forget that Retro Studios was working in something unknown long before they started to work in Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo also greenlit a 3D Donkey Kong game from Vicarius Visions but Activision pulled the plug on that shortly after the development started, there have been rumors for a few years that Nintendo is working in another Donkey Kong game. ...so, my guess is that DK had a bad streak because the projects that were planned for it gone wrong and got cancelled, but there is still a possibility that there is an ongoing project that didn't get cancelled.

    I think there is a fault with the idea of "Nintendo's vision" vs fans vision: Paper Mario is developed by a third party(not Nintendo), they wanted to do a lot of stuff but Nintendo didn't allow them to do that. I think rather than having a vision, Nintendo wanted to protect their brand and what we got was the most that Nintendo allowed them to do.

    I wouldn't say DK doesn't have an identity. Most people tie Donkey Kong to the Donkey Kong Country lore. That kind of took over the brand and is still prominent. This was why King K Rool was so well received for Smash Brothers. He is considered the true villain even though he hasn't really made a mainline appearance since DK64.
