Not the best DKC game and not even the best platformer on the Wii U.

Name a better Wii U platformer then

>>381291119
>Switch deluxe version when?
Hopefully never.

I really really really don't want my switch to become a Wii U Port Machine.

>>381291254
Well that won't be a big problem. There's only like 4 good games on it

>>381291576
Are you here entirely to spew dumb opinions and try to bait fanboys?

Go find a different thread. This won't work here.

>>381291696
All I'm saying is what's the problem with porting good Wii U games to an obviously better console?

>>381291843
No you aren't. You're trying to smear the Wii U's library and start a dumb argument.

At least argue about DK games and platformers.

>>381292012
I would if the Wii U had any.

>>381288126

4 of those are good and should be ported to the Switch

>>381292492
>still can only play as Donkey Kong
Hard mode

>still only has Rambi as an animal buddy
I honestly don't understand the obsession with animal buddies. I personally never enjoyed them in the DKC games outside of just being an extra hit.

>>381292876
And where's Hard mode?

>>381292964
collect every KONG in each level
then do it again in Hard Mode to unlock Mirror mode

>>381292964
Get all the KONG letters in the levels and beat the temples they unlock. This will unlock World 7 which once you beat that will unlock Hard Mode.

Hard Mode is 1 heart, no check points, no kong barrels in all the levels, but you get to choose to play as any of the four characters. Yes its not the ideal way to play as the other characters but it does exist, and getting 200% in this game is hours of fun if you are into that sort of level mastery.

Whats going on in this thread

>>381289527
True and true.
Best DKC is DKC2

Best platformer on the WiiU is Super Mario 3D World

To deny this is an act of hipster contrarianism.

The temple levels are hard as fuck, I've only beaten 4 of them

>>381293290

>no check points

I wouldn't mind that, checkpoints should have been optional, I hate reaching the end of a level and realizing I missed a jigsaw, then I have to finish/quit the level, sit through 2 loading screens just to restart the level, or at least add a fucking restart option goddamnit retro what the fuck.

>>381292407

HAHAHAHA

Least none of them are the fucking Trials temple from Returns, that thing can fuck right off.

>>381294196

It's not, the only good thing with a Lego name are the toys(except for a few, actually like half of them), Lego games/movies/shorts are made for stupid people with low standards.

>>381294306
it isnt

>>381292876
>I honestly don't understand the obsession with animal buddies.

It's not overrated at all. It's literally an incredible game.

we need a Donkey Kong Country collection for Switch

just put them all in there like they did for Kirby's 20th

DKC games have never been good.

epic post

>>381288126

Best DK
Best platformer on Wii U
Best 2D platformer

But it can't beat any 3D Mario aside from 3D World for me.
I can't wait for the Switch DK game.

>>381297350
red it

>>381294306
Most people on /v/ weren't alive when 2D platformers were in their heyday, so they're impressed by platformers that are mediocre at best.

>>381298021
Watch the video.

>>381298070
I did, it isn't impressive. It's very predictable and by-the-numbers.

>>381298021
What makes it mediocre? Please don't reply to me by discussing what makes an older game great.

I can't wait for the next Donkey Kong game.

The best 2d platformer of recent times is Shovel Knight tho anyone who disagrees hasn't played the two dlc stories

>>381294364
the movies are good tho

>>381298169
Level design that is easy to predict with no creativity in mechanics and is built around collecting trinkets.

The DKC games were always lackluster compared to better platformers like Mario, and they completely relied on their visual presentation. Yoshi's Island was the same way: unsatisfying game mechanics bolted on to an artstyle and focus on collectibles. 2D platformers dropped off a cliff in terms of quality with the release of DKC and they haven't recovered since.

>>381298615
What's your favorite platformer level?

>>381299250

Yeah man, because I hear people praising Band Land all the time.

>>381299328
SMB3 5-3.

This video is a nice addition.

>>381299328
Not anon but I really like the Spectre Knight version of the Lich Yard

I regard DKC2 as the best platformer of all time. Super Mario World and the original DKC tie for 2nd. Something about the physics of the DKC games is so satisfying. When you master that rolling, multiple enemy bounce flow it is so satisfying

>>381299423
You should love DKC if a gimmick level is your favorite 2bh

>>381299686
A subversion of everything you have learned from playing multiple Mario games is not a "gimmick." Hell, the entirety of SMB2J is a subversion of what you had leanred from SMB1, and it's brilliant.

Designing an entire game around gimmick levels like DKC isn't brilliant, it's laziness. There's no consistency in world design. Instead of exploring a world, you're engaged in multiple obstacle courses that have no rhyme or reason betwen them.

>>381300291
>A subversion of everything you have learned from playing multiple Mario games is not a "gimmick."

It is if I interact with said subversion for one easy level and it never appears in the game again.

>>381299687
Spectre Knight campaign had God tier levels

>>381300291
6/10

You'll bait a lot of people.

>>381299929
I actually enjoyed this game a lot, boss fights we're really fun

I really like DKCTF but I really don't understand what about it sets it so far above Wooly World, Luigi U, or Shovel Knight as far as platformers I can play on my WiiU

>>381288126

Somebody just watched Game makers toolkit

>>381298615

That one hot fucking take, guy. Don't burn yourself.

>>381303612
Level design and difficulty. Also satisfying physics

>>381303739
Nah.

I bought it and loved it at release.
