I likeed DK64 too but it's not how I wanted a DK game to be.

EVERY 3D platformer these days is a 3D adventure and I miss the old classic platforming action from the 16bit days.

As for the Grim Fish, you didn't like Donkey Kong Country on the Snes?

How come?

If you didn't like platformers back then I suppose you probably didn't but there's no other reason why you wouldn't like it.

I think there should be a hint option for those sorts of games.

Im not a great lover of them because i can't be bothered to put in all the time needed.

I think it would be great if, after you'd been wandering around doing not much for a bit, a hint came up with a suggestion of where to go/what to do etc.

Am I the only one that actually enjoyed DK64?

The levels were huge, and there was so much to do. The bosses were great, well, most of them.

It took up just under 40 hours of my time to get all 201 bananas, and all blueprints, and I pretty much enjoyed getting every single one.

Except for Diddy Kong jet-pack bits. That was so ridiculously difficult to control that it was stupid! I must have tried to fly through that owls rings dozens of times before I actually earnt the banana from him!

There's no way this game should have been more linear!

Maybe there should be a 'hint' option in such games?

Donkey Kong games are really bad, I only like the Snes version because it had a really good audio CD! The N64 version was really bad, but I got a N64 ex pak with it, are Nintendo trying to increase the sales or what?

I didn't know what E3 was until my brother started speaking about it the other day. I wish I lived in San Francisco, anyone happen to be going with a spare ticket?

I think Shigsy is cute, for a games developer anyways...he might not have anything on Tom Cruise but hey....who has....Sheepy and Grix maybe....oh and Game and er-no, and Ant....hehehe, lol - Too Many....

Even I can't cope....:P

Speaking of which, I think Donkey Kong is going to be encorperated into Animal Village/Farm/Town... or whatever it is. Ala Shenmue and DK64.

Perhaps Kate, but then the Gameboy Advance is a hell of a lot of fun, and that's not made for graphics...

Ah well. It's going to be a year before we know if you're right or not, but only six days to see if the graphics really are any good, at least. :0)

Roll on E3.
