If you mean Video Game Director's Cuts (VGDC), it's even earlier. Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom started in 2003. And some of those were even earlier. Mack Daddy Mario was made in 2000 for example.
I gotta say I really like the transitions between the different games. Especially the one between DKC 2 & 3 and Tropical Freeze and Returns HD. Bravo to whoever edited this together! 👏

@slainredd4339 No, the lighting looks really bad compared to the wii version. A lot of the animations are clunky even though they were perfectly fine before, and the colour palette is too bright and makes the environments look worse
@@the-NightStar You'd benefit from widescreen too. Making old games the best they can be is a noble cause. If you truly cared, you'd want that for DKC.
And now I realize that it's been 30 years since I first got that VHS tape from Nintendo in the mail announcing the first ever 100% 3DCG video game -- Donkey Kong Country. Thanks for making me feel old, Nintendo.
Man how I missed this game, it's been 30 years of Donkey Kong Country which was originally from the SNES, that was My first game that I got for Christmas in 1994 which was a big bundle, it was an absolute masterpiece that Rarewave developed. I would like to play this game again
These PLUS DK 64 AND THE DONKEY KONG LAND GAMES AND THE OG DONKEY KONG GAMES It's safe to say that the Switch is THE CONSOLE for DK FANS!!! BANANA SLAMMA!
Me parece si que hay una saga que se merece un remake es Donkey Kong Country, por lo menos la primera y segunda entrega, todavía sueño con que Nintendo lance un Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Remake
I really like this, I remember when they also did a little recap for the Metroid series back when Dread was coming out. I hope they put DK 64 on the service soon
ITS DONKEY KONG DECEMBER TIME
monkey kong december
Can’t wait for funky Kong February
There's been so much DK hype lately and I'm all for it!
Donkey will have a field day with this
Donkember
This is animated like those all sprite art flash cartoons from the early 2010's and I can't get that fact out of my head
It's the upscaling effect. It didn't look like that on a CRT TV.
worse
I feel like somebody is going to make a quip about how "unfunny" they were but god those were a lost art

Honestly this is a very well put-up trailer, it goes beyond just slapping gameplay footage over a background. Kudos to the editors
they did the exact same thing with the metroid series when dread was coming out!
I don't care if you guys are promoting for Returns HD, it should've been BEFORE Tropical Freeze in this video.
yeah, it's really awkward and misleading lol. marketing or not, this order is nonsensical.
Bring back the Kremlings, Nintendo!

Donkey Kong is literally one of my favorite video game characters from the Nintendo Video Game franchise in history.

dkcr hd has improved a lot since it's last showing! Very exciting
The Donkey Kong Country games are one of my all time favorites.
Returns HD is looking on par with Tropical Freeze now
No it doesn't it looks unfinished

@@Ze_Chef69bro it ain't that bad as a person with eyeballs it doesn't look clunky to me and the colour looks better here and it's not blurry anymore
I like how DKC Returns HD looks now. Not perfect, but way better than what we were shown in June
When DK 64 :D
Dk64 isn't part of the country series and it's already on nso
Yes it is and that's an absolute lie, it is not on NSO.
@@Zork787DK64 isn't on NSO yet.
@@Zork787WHERE IS IT?
😂😂😂@@Zork787
There's gotta be more DK news coming if we're getting all this alongside the GB games. DK64 has got to be around the corner.
DK King or Swing, thats all we will get
@dvast I'll accept that too. I just want more DK content.
@@dvastThat would be ridiculously stupid.
We not only need Donkey Kong 64. But also Donkey Kong Land 3, & Diddy Kong Racing!
@isaiahdixon9224 we already have Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 library though.
Donkey Kong Country its the very first game i ever played so this feels very special to me
Nintendo officially acknowledging Donkey Kong December 😲
The way DK 1,2 & 3 raised me
I was so hyped thinking we were getting Widescreen Remakes of DKC 1-3. But them finally coming to NSO will suffice.
Excited play Returns with all the 3ds levels I never got to experience.
Tropical Freeze is lowkey Nintendo’s best platformer.
For a second I could’ve swore this was a widescreen port. DAMNIT
The excitement quickly followed by disappointment 😢
SAME
God, you kids are freakin' entitled.
@@the-NightStar I’m an adult sir.
@@the-NightStar You'd benefit from widescreen too.
Making old games the best they can be is a noble cause. If you truly cared, you'd want that for DKC.
Oh...so they DO remember K. Rool...
"Always has been." Though for real they almost never forget a character. If they do their always brought back.
Nintendo made a similar video for the 2D Metroid series back when Dread was about to come out: "The History of Metroid in 2D - Metroid Dread Primer"
that's what this was reminding me of! it's basically the same thing! that's awesome
Nice to see Donkey Kong Country get some recognition from Nintendo with this video with some good editing.
And now I realize that it's been 30 years since I first got that VHS tape from Nintendo in the mail announcing the first ever 100% 3DCG video game -- Donkey Kong Country. Thanks for making me feel old, Nintendo.
Neat that they did a bit of extra work with the SNES sprites and backgrounds for this short DKC promo.
Man, i want returns so much
Tropical Freeze is such an amazing game, vibes are off the chart
Got it recently, looking forward to playing it!! ❄️🍌❄️
new funky mode
Almost 11 years since Tropical Freeze came out btw

Those transitions between original trilogy were smooth af ngl
These PLUS DK 64 AND THE DONKEY KONG LAND GAMES
AND THE OG DONKEY KONG GAMES
It's safe to say that the Switch is THE CONSOLE for DK FANS!!!
BANANA SLAMMA!
Donkey Kong december has come a few days early
I love the detail of the release data shaking in the Returns HD segment.
Its official: December 2024 is Donkey Dong December
The DKC series never gets this much love. A great little edit. Brought a tear to my eye 🥲
The only thing missing from this is Donkey Kong Land 1 & 2 which just made their way to Nintendo Switch Online
I need to start using my Nintendo online catalog more….also don’t pull a “no Mario Galaxy 2 in the 3D collection” card and give us donkey Kong 64…….
Who’s ready for Donkey Kong December?
Still missing the GBA trilogy and DK64.
Please bring back King K Rool
Some of the highest-quality platformers of all-time!
K.Rool not being in the nintendo land is a shame. Bring back K.rool
I don’t understand why they don’t make more donkey Kong games.
Great childhood memories ❤
DKC2 was pure magic 🪄
🎉🎊happy 30th anniversary donkey kong!🎊🎉
*Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong is 43 years old
I haven't been this excited in a while
Love it when they make older games look new again with these kinds of trailers 😊
Me parece si que hay una saga que se merece un remake es Donkey Kong Country, por lo menos la primera y segunda entrega, todavía sueño con que Nintendo lance un Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Remake
Donkey Kong Countrilogy
5 incredible games that I replay endlessly, we need more DK Nintendo!!
JUST MAKE A NEW DONKEY KONG GAME
I do think that's next on their list
atleast they havent completely forgotten about it
They’re doing everything with Donkey Kong except a new game
God that intro animation was such a beautiful touch.
Still best platformer Series All Time
My favorite 0:55
Why is the intro to the video so unnecessarily good 😂
You should've seen the metroid one.
ahh yes, dkc tropical freeze released before dkc returns.
unbelievable. it really IS donkey kong december
time for kongtent baybeee
I really like this, I remember when they also did a little recap for the Metroid series back when Dread was coming out. I hope they put DK 64 on the service soon
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH DONKEY KONG 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🦍🦍🦍
I love the DKC series! ❤
1-2 and Tropical Freeze are perfect.🎈
rip 3 and returns
Where's Donkey kong 64? you know, The one that TRULY matters.
Miss donkey kong sooo much, missed out on Returns back then and so excited to finally play it
Donkey Kong man I only love donkey Kong man
Still missing DK64, DK Land 3, and a few other games that don't count
someone probably:
"um, actually, donkey kong 64" 🤓
Great video, but don’t like that they put Tropical Freeze before Returns.
The snes games should be improved to be played in fullscreen.
I can't wait until Donkey Kong Land III!
This is a really well made video, and reminds of that one from Metroid. It´s a shame we´re getting another Returns remaster, and not a new DK game.
one hour lunchbreak? time for a DKC 2 playthrough baaaaby
Still utterly criminal that there was no new DKC game on the Switch 1...!
they made PEAK
And we got the first two Donkey Kong Land games on NSO! Just need number three!
Can we also get Donkey Kong 64 as well? Maybe also Donkey Kong 94 on Game Boy, and Diddy Kong Racing too?
Yea DKR baby
Both times Donkey Kong Country Returns was released, it will have been over 10 years after the release of the last entry.
For Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, the extremely janky hitboxes on the minecart levels need fixing
What I appreciate most about this is that Donkey Kong 64 is *not* considered part of the DKC timeline.
why shouldn't it be? if super mario 64 is considered part of the super mario series, then dk64 should be given the same treatment.
I hope when the switch passes on, you can pay for NSO games to be downloaded to the console. These three are definitely staying on the switch
So they're finally here...
R.I.P Donkey Kong 64
The best trilogy in the history of mankind
quintilogy?
BANANA SLAMMA!!!
I love how they ahowed this, plss nintendo, do more!
I love this, thank you
I think you forgot about a 3D game…
Where is Donkey Kong 64?
The Leader Of The Bunch Is Back 🍌
Nintendo animating with The Pré Render sprites 😂
0:45 this reminds a lot of Donkey Kong Country The Trilogy
*Rare, not Nintendo, but yes.
@pancakewizard1533 In this video the widescreen animations were made by Nintendo. Rare did the original game animations and also the 3 games.
"The Complete Donkey Kong Country series"
Donkey Kong 64: 😞
Why would it be included? It's not a dkc game
@raymaniqe1906 All games that star the Kongs are Donkey Kong Country games, including Diddy Kong Racing, Barrel Blast, Jungle Swing, Donkey Konga.
@@andywap3 **loud incorrect buzzer**
@@andywap3 what kongs are necessary for a game to be a Donkey Kong Country game?
@@jacksonschlueter20 At least one Kong as the main character without Mario or any other Mario character as a main character.
Cool montage 👍
First 3 games have way more charisma and charm than the returns ones. All good though.
It's going to be like Donkey Kong!!
Donkey Kong really is just him
Please let this be a sign that Nintendo is going make a new Donkey Kong game soon
yall didn't even change the model at all....
I’d love to see DK Jungle Beat on the next console too 😊
00:47 DK confirmed for DKC2 lol
Mates from across the pond are blessing the US with the DKC drop
🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
Ooo, banana
Time for a DK-athalon!
