Makes me REALLY miss the 80s and 90s.. I remember CLEARLY when DKC was launched.. it was BIG.. and i got it that christmas and fucking LOVED it.. and i still love it to this day.
I can't imagine the hype! I was born in '95, so obviously can't relate, but I played these games religiously. And still do every once in a while. Thanks for sharing the memories. :)
Me too! I totally loved the game but then someone robbed my house and stole a bunch of things including the game. I was really upset but at least my mom bought another copy a month later.
I remember it too. Imagine being me, the second child, who usually had to endure a couple hours of watching my older brother playing the new games before getting my turn. Then one day I went with my mom to the video store alone (a RARE occurrence) and guess what game I rented :D I remember how anxious I was to get home before my brother (I can't remember where he was). I think it was my first experience of playing a game by myself, figuring out the mechanics and stuff. Hell, even dying and keeping playing felt weird.
5:40 DK: “C’mon lad, you do the first level, it looks nice and easy! Diddy: “Shit!” Would’ve loved to see a DK’s Bad Fur Day style game in this crass style lol
@Energytainment I mean Diddy Kong almost says shit in the last episode of the dkc tv show, so I guess the writers definitely wanted a really obscure easter egg in the final episode. Diddy says shindig but he totally was supposed to say shit.
Donkey Kong Country was the first game i got with my Snes. And to this day is one of my Favourite Franchises. The Music Hits me with Nostalgia and its like im taken back. Nostalgia is so powerful, no wonder they use it in marketing. That music imprinted itself on me and I always feel happy to hear it.
the way that they had to manually transfer each model by hand and convert them into a tile format readable by the system is some true dedication, especially in the scorching heat
What I find most amazing about DKC is that, while it was sold on its advanced graphics, that is not the reason people still fondly remember and play it. It is just a damn good game, even in 2023.
Donkey Kong Country may just be my favorite game of all time. A masterpiece of graphics and sound, a platformer that lacked the nonsensical floating platforms, apes that felt agile but heavy. The whole thing was immersion in a cart.
The only downside of the original DKC. For me is RARE.. as I today would like to see a remake on modern hardware of this using the original un-doctored silicon graphics images.
The Pumpking King yeah indeed, i was alway’s wondering if they still had those untouched original images of the game or even better,what if they stillhave those original 3D models of those characters & backgrounds laying around somewhere. Also, if they had to rework all sprites & backgrounds by hand rather then using an automated process, then it actually did make no sense using those cgi computers.
Doesn't Microsoft (one of Nintendo's competitors) own Rare these days though? It may not be legally possible for Rare and Nintendo to co-operate on such a project.
Reactions the chance of a remake of any donkey Kong games is a flat 0. Nintendo stated many times that they won't let rare do a remake of their license due to the history of events.
Great work I love the narration and animations. Even though I knew most of DKC's history, the summer heat rendering and extreme compression required for it to fit on the 32-bit cartridge I did not know about.
Jordan Lee just mind blowing how they compressed the game to fit on 32 megabit cartride, but who knows how much more better the would,ve looked and sounded if it was brought to the neogeo avs system, wich was way more advanced then the snes,a higher res,more colors onscreen,more soundchannels etc,,,
Thanks! Not to get too philosophical here... but "You never feel truly rich until you appreciate what you have". :) I'm really satisfied with 11k subs, Think about it...over 11.000 people, that's a huge number, more than would fit in my local theater, and the great thing is, I can still reply to almost all comments and recognize many names in the comments, which would be a lot harder if had 100k subs. Don't get me wrong It's good to be a little competitive and have dreams about having like 100k subs, but I think it would also add a lot more burden and perhaps even remove some of the fun out of making videos. Anyway.. that was my little rand :) Good luck with your channel!
@@strafefox. Now you're almost to your dream goal of a 100.000 subs. it's just too bad UA-cam keeps gimping subscriber counts views and recommendations.
You did wonder again with this video! It's so motivational as you detail how much extreme effort it took to go through everything and realize this game.
You are right, it must have been glorious. Very hard, but that made it just even more glorious. What pride and joy could it be to come up with something this new and how it could extend the joy to see an element be used in other important games and other things!
Amazingly narrated, detailed, and edited video. I usually never make these kinds of comments but I was really impressed by how well made this was. Great stuff 👍👍
DKC1 isn't even one of my all time favourites in the series, but I have so much respect for it, it was the beginning of such an ambitious saga! DKC2 will forever be a reference for what a true platformer should be like.
Being a kid back when this game was coming out was just glorious. It seemed miraculous to us that a game like this was being released for the SNES. And it wasn't just the visuals and sound either. The game itself was a blast, with awesome level design and smooth and rewarding gameplay. I played the living heck out of it and it was some of the happiest times in my life!
Awesome work as always! I really appreciate what you, guys, are doing for the retrogaming on UA-cam! Thanks a lot! DKC is an amazing trilogy, my favorite 2D side-scrolling franchise of all time!
Dkc staat ook hoog in mijn lijstje favoriete games, al vind ik DKC2 zelfs nog net iets leuker vanwege het piraten thema yarrrr! Bedankt voor het kijken! :)
Just discovered your channel this morning while getting ready for work... and WOW! I am so glad the SoR2 video came across my feed as a "recommended for you" video, and between that, your Sonic breakdown and amazing music based videos I can't believe I never saw your videos til today... EXCELLENT Content, informative and incredible visuals along the way. You have a top tier channel when it comes to quality and I feel you should know that. I plan on making my own channel one day and can only hope to achieve even a small level of the quality you produce!
This game is almost 24 years old and is still one of the greats! It is definitely a key part of my personal gaming history along with Mario. The graphics still blow my mind and that’s not something I can really say about most games of the time period
Its always so awesome to see how far you continue to grow. Long time fan and I'm always so impressed with your presentation. Keep on doing whatever you are doing to make this content so great. Rooting for ya :D
Thanks! My channel is a fun outlet for my creativity and I love writing and reading about these old games. And when I look back at videos I made a couple years back like the other DKC video, I realize how much I've grown which is really satisfying! :)
Thank you for making this! I love to learn as much as I can about Donkey Kong. This really enforces how important Donkey Kong is to the gaming industry!
great video, Donkey Kong Country really spoke to me as a little 90s kid. Such a fluid kinetic badass game, you could get tricky with the physics and the 3d look was like nothing ever seen before!
DKC1 is the first console video game I owned and played: how lucky am I? Anyway cool vid, it made me cry tears of joy....and although you spent some words on the music I can't stress enough how important Mr David Wise's work is.......the sound depth he achieved for the given sample rate is so ahead of its time, it's the result of crazy layering and rendering, it must have been really hard work.........his work is just as impressive and ahead of his time as the graphics are and it really took the entire concept of music for video games to the next level.
Couldn't agree more. The atmosphere created in this game remains a part of each individual players heart 20 years later. Also, shout out to Evelyn Fisher who produced many of the tracks on DK1 also =]
I was 10 when this game came out, and I remember the graphics just blew my mind. Especially the fact that this would run on the same console where I played Super Mario World. Back then everyone was saying it looked "photo-realistic"... funny how that's not a word anymore.
Really interesting to watch and well made. I love this game, and have played it all of my life. It's one of the very few games I still play today that I played as a kid.
very high quality! well done! the info about how they made the background tiles and improved the sprites by hand is vary interesting. It's the first time I hear them
One of my favorite games of all time! Amazing soundtrack, smooth game play. When I first played this I had no understanding of game development or computer science so it never occurred to me how groundbreaking this game was!
Your videos are exceptional. I really appreciate the subtle touches you add and the consistent feel and style of the splash screens and supporting art.
Strafefox, your videos are very professional since the first episode. The added voice over in later videos is a great addition and relaxed to listen to. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for sticking around! Yeah It's already been 7 years ago when I first came up with the idea to start my channel :) When I first started I never imagined I would get over 1000subs :)
i cant recall who bought me the Genesis mom, dad, uncle, aunt, family friend etc. but that Aladdin joint was one of the greatest. As a kid of the 90s, born in the late 80s, i played the hell outta it along with Street Fighter, Cool Spot, Sonic, Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, etc.
Your videoes are all a huge step up in quality compared to other videoes about the same themes. Great work with graphics, your research, and your voice over.
I know how often you hear of this, but your videos are edited very well, the 3d effects and visuals are beautiful, and the information is delivered very well. No unnecessary jokes, stupid humor, or angry gamer schtick. It is much appreciated. I am very glad I finally subbed.
I’ve been waiting years for a sequel to this video on the making of Donkey Kong Country 2 😭 I’ve always wondered how a new DKC video would do with your newer, more in-depth 20 minute format as opposed to the 10 minute format. Regardless, thank you for the continued quality content!!
Amaizing video , totally splained why DK is a such great game , I am a sega fan boy and I undestand why lost this batlle . Keep the good work, I am waiting to see your next video .
OK so this explains to me then why DKC reminds me of the Aladdin game so much. I never even played Aladdin growing up, was more of a DOS gamer. Thanks for the vid.
I absolutely loved DK Country. It was so playable, and at the time the graphics and sound was stunning. I dont get why some say it doesnt hold up, but this game totally holds up in 2020 because the quality is superb
When this game was released I loved it, my 9, 10 year old self was a huge DK fan. I still think it holds up as a wonderful platformer . I don't see why folks think it didnt age well. In fact, it aged very well to me. Play It Loud!!
Makes me REALLY miss the 80s and 90s..
I remember CLEARLY when DKC was launched.. it was BIG.. and i got it that christmas and fucking LOVED it.. and i still love it to this day.
I can't imagine the hype! I was born in '95, so obviously can't relate, but I played these games religiously.
And still do every once in a while.
Thanks for sharing the memories. :)
Me too! I totally loved the game but then someone robbed my house and stole a bunch of things including the game. I was really upset but at least my mom bought another copy a month later.
I got it Christmas of '94 as well!
I remember it too. Imagine being me, the second child, who usually had to endure a couple hours of watching my older brother playing the new games before getting my turn.

DKC was the "it" game to have for Christmas of '94
This guy is so good at video editing and 3D effects 😱
Ha! Thanks :)
He uses Cinema 4D
Or maybe you just don't know much about cgi.
I love u strafefox
@@kelakakku You seem like a cool guy.
"WHERE YOU GONNA FIND IT?"
- "NOT ON SEGA!!"
had me crack up. That's some marketing.
Marketing in these days were WILD.
Nintendoes what Sega don't
Their response to Genesis does what Nintendon't
There was nothing better than Donkey Kong Country 1 , 2 , 3 on the mid 90s(94,95,96)
Playing these games on a rainy day was the best thing ever.
Crash tried
This is super interesting and well produced.
We all have to thank Donkey Kong Country for the advancements of Computer Generated Imagery. XD
hah
i really love the editing throughout the video, amazing work! :D
Thanks! :)
I agree. Even I'm wondering, how such animations are being made. Like what kind of software or do you draw anything by hand?
The graphics for this video are top notch. Nice!
5:40
DK: “C’mon lad, you do the first level, it looks nice and easy!
Diddy: “Shit!”
Would’ve loved to see a DK’s Bad Fur Day style game in this crass style lol
@Energytainment I mean Diddy Kong almost says shit in the last episode of the dkc tv show, so I guess the writers definitely wanted a really obscure easter egg in the final episode. Diddy says shindig but he totally was supposed to say shit.
Many people say these games visually show their age today, but they still look absolutely gorgeous on CRT displays.
Loved your presentation! It's incredible to see that DK has also influenced other media 👀
You really should have more subscribers
chigimonky u gotta be the 1st to comment anything like that
It's nice to see video game development feature a happy story where everyone makes good decisions and everything goes well. It feels so uncommon.
Awesome video! I still have the VHS of the making of Donkey Kong Country that Nintendo sent me in 1994.
Cool! yeah that was a neat little promo to build some hype around the game.
I think that was also free with issue 20something (?)of official Nintendo mag. Watched it until the tape coroded
Me too!
Gode gamle spill
And the music CD that launched with it!
Donkey Kong Country was the first game i got with my Snes. And to this day is one of my Favourite Franchises. The Music Hits me with Nostalgia and its like im taken back.

It's astounding how much they were able to achieve sometimes with so little.

Play hours and hours with my little bro back in the daze. I'm glad I have it now on the snes classic mini. This game stills holds up today. 👍👍
DKC was the first video game I ever played and why I got into gaming. Amazing game. Love it.
I find pre rendered graphics more tolerable in games meant for the player to stare at one screen such as Super Mario RPG or Resident Evil 2.
Amazingly narrated, detailed, and edited video. I usually never make these kinds of comments but I was really impressed by how well made this was. Great stuff 👍👍
Thanks so much! Really cool to hear :)

I will admit the music is incredibly atmospheric, which is surprising for a jungle themed game.

Hands down amongst the best platformers ever made. It would be nice to see something else offer that experience again.

OK so this explains to me then why DKC reminds me of the Aladdin game so much. I never even played Aladdin growing up, was more of a DOS gamer. Thanks for the vid.
Great stuff again. Definitely makes me appreciate the Donkey Kong aesthetic for it's time.
I absolutely loved DK Country. It was so playable, and at the time the graphics and sound was stunning. I dont get why some say it doesnt hold up, but this game totally holds up in 2020 because the quality is superb
Donkey kong country was the first game i ever played, and the first i ever beat. Nice video essay.
The OST is outstanding this I am glad I had the chance to play it when it first came
Very, very, very very good video! Awesome work!!
When this game was released I loved it, my 9, 10 year old self was a huge DK fan. I still think it holds up as a wonderful platformer . I don't see why folks think it didnt age well. In fact, it aged very well to me. Play It Loud!!
