What does this golden N64 cartridge contain? The best open world platformer we've ever seen? Or the most putrid, liquefied shit sauce that unloads human waste into your brand new Nintendo console when you turn it on... and then it sprays all over your eyes, with a few chunks into your mouth that is open because you're screaming in terror... yeah, probably that.

Apparently, Rare actually wanted to call the game Donkey Kong World at first but for some reason, went with the trend of putting "64" at the end of the game's title like a lot of games for the system did.

Because nostalgia comes from memories. And we humans tend to remember the good parts about something more then the bad. So you end up liking a game more when you played it in your childhood, then someone who just played it not so long ago. That's just how it is. I loved the game when i was a child, but even I gotta admit that he is completely right about nearly everything he complained about. Also children get impressed by nearly everything, so saying that you loved the game as a child while doing a review is just wrong.

Oh, I don't know. Some of the games that N64 fans hold in high regard deserve the attention. For example, I didn't grow up with a N64 and I didn't get one till about 2002. I finally got my hands on Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time around 2013 and even though the game play may feel a little outdated, I genuinely had a good experience with it. But I understand what you mean. For example, I love the first Spyro the Dragon game. Playing it always gives me memories of my childhood in the 90s. But even I had to realize the game didn't hold up and the sequels were better but yet, I still really love the first game lol.

There are some decent games on the N64 most of which have been ported elsewhere and tend to be 20 X better on something like the 3ds, most n64 reviews tend to overlook some of things Jak mentioned which when considering how expensive n64 games can get can be a real problem.

I agree with some points in this review, but the criticism towards lack of voice acting, as well as the comparison to Conker's Bad Fur Day, is leaving out one very important detail; Conker's Bad Fur Day was released in 2001, and had *64 MB* of additional data, whereas Donkey Kong 64 was released in 1999, and its expansion pak only provided the game *4 MB* of additional space. That's why Conker could do full voice overs and cutscenes, and Donkey Kong could not. Well, then again there was Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt, which didn't even need an expansion pak and still had full voiceovers.

The second stick on the Dual Shock is a leftover from the Dual Analog. The only reason there was a second stick on the Dual Analog was because Sony thought a single stick would cause it to be too similar to the N64 controller and bring upon a lawsuit. And now every controller has nearly the same layout.

The main difference between this game and other N64 3D platformers like Banko Kazooie and Super Mario 64 is that those games are fast faced, utilized vibrant colors to make environments clear and visible, and it doesn't drag on with pointless collectables that pad out the length if the game.

I stopped playing and haven't touched it ever since. Also had a hard time at the start of the game trying to figure out how to throw grenades since the game tells you to press a button that the Wii U doesn't have, had to look up a walkthrough for a tutorial lol.

One aspect about DK64 that has always irked me is the fact that the intro cutscene has fully spoken dialogue, whereas the rest of the game uses text boxes. To add to that, the voice actors are really incoherent at times, what with King K Rool's Darth Vader voice sounding too much like a prolonged growl and everyone else talking as if their tongues are hanging out.

You sir, have trash-talked one of my favorite games of all time... and I love it! I don't think this game is bad, but you do make valid points. The levels do get samey and I don't like playing as Tiny most of the time, but the music and the gameplay makes it so much fun. While this game hasn't aged well (There are tons of glitches that allow you to get Golden Bananas early), I can still say that, as someone who played the original N64 version and the re-release on Wii U VC, I still think this game holds up in it's fun gameplay and soundtrack. Great review BTW.

People need to learn to take criticism sometimes. I'm surprised you didn't bring up Beaver Bother, or any of the other frustrating Bananas in the game. You could've elaborated on what your favorite level or music track was, but that's expecting to much from a (mostly) negative review. Honestly, if it was possible, I'd like another DK64. For one, this is Donkey Kong's only 3D outing (Returns and Tropical Freeze retread the SNES games), and I kind of liked playing as Lanky and Chunky, with the latter having no big appearances as of late. Still, it's a good game nonetheless.

Great review dude! Yeah as much as I love Donkey Kong and the like, I honestly think 64 was WAY too complex for its own good and felt more like a poor man's Banjo Kazooie than a proper Donkey Kong Country-like experience. It is a damn shame too, because I had heard all the praise about it a few years ago, and it then came on the Virtual Console, giving me a chance to finally experience. It became clear that it doesn't hold up all that well anymore.

Although Rareware made the critically acclaimed Banjo-Kazooie, this one kinda fell short by making a sequel and making it bigger, and BIGGER, AND BIGGER! This resulted in a lack of polish from what we usually see from Rareware. Collectathons are already kinda slow-paced, they really didn't need to add more stuff to make it even slower to the point of barely any fun. I do like the variety of things such as the characters, bonus stages, and etc although i don't think they were executed properly. I wouldn't say it's a bad game, but an OK game.

12:47 I think you're meant to see what order the barrels light up which is in a circle rotating anticlockwise or clockwise and predict which one will light up next. When I played that part, that is what I did and after I figured that out, it was fine

We desperately need a sequel to DK64...maybe for the Nintendo Switch or the 3DS and call it DK128 (or DK's New Age Adventure).

Okay, so the reason why the N64 joysticks have issues is because they were made using a simple mechanism which involves plastic running against plastic, which causes the stick to degrade. However, the N64 controllers worked fine at the time and Nintendo never assumed that anyone would be playing N64 games 22 years after the console was released and knowing that the analogue sticks would work fine throughout the console’s lifespan, and therefore released it with it’s simple mechanism.

Despite the negative tone, all of the points you made in the review are good, and it is entertaining to watch. I agree on many of the points, such as the camara control, padding, backtracking, etc. The bland mini-games are something that I think got a little too excessive, especially some of them being really hard due to glitches. But I feel the mini-games could have been used a little bit less and they would be okay, and not making them as hard (re-trying the same mini game for over 20 minutes is not fun). I do find the worlds fun to explore, playing this game nowadays feels fresh because there aren´t this types of games anymore. I wanted to play more games like Mario 64 and banjo kazooie so that is why I got this game. I had only played parts of this when I was a kid, but never owned it myself. So I have a little bit of nostalgia, but not too much(the friend who owned it only got to the third level). I agree that beating the 2 retro games for the nintendo and rareware coins, in order to beat the game is really off-putting. I have been trying to beat Donkey Kong and have easily played over an hour and never get past level 3. These games, while I can aprreciate their designs and the history behind them, make me look at them in a diffrent light when I found out I have to beat them to progress. Thankully, there are gitches to by-pass these games but this should have just been a fun little easter egg.

+TwistParade Thanks, I use a program called Power Director. It's a middle ground between the basics of Movie Maker and the more advance stuff like Sony Vegas and Premiere but I honestly wouldn't recommend it, just go for the advance stuff. I would switch but I'm so used to the program I use that it would affect the quality of my videos :P

My main issue with the game has always been the over excessive collectathon, I agree there really should've been a shared pocket between all the kongs rather than multiple colored coins and bananas for each kong, but damn man there was so much shit thrown at this game, it really isn't the worst donkey kong game there is, there are still other redeeming qualities towards it, but granted, I have a nostalgic viewpoint of the game

Man people don't like their child hood being trash talked because everything in your child hood is inherently good and cannot be critiqued to ANY extent, I positively loved this game as a kid but that doesn't mean I can't take one of my favorite childhood memories being picked apart, Though honestly you're not really getting harsh backlash though, I'm just talking in general when someone picks apart something others love and they get so upset cause its an opinion they can't take, Great video, A completely non-nostalgia-biased review of this game It has flaws that should be acknowledged Subscribed.

***** Just gonna say that sounds like an opinion I never can get why Nintendo doesn't make the games people want, Maybe the demand just isn't big enough in Japan I'm also sure you've heard of Yooka-Laylee I'll assume? Also heard Microsoft plans on doing something with the IP's they've had stashed away... but I guess that doesn't include DK. Eh I dunno Nintendo is a mystery :l

***** Its gonna be for PC, Wii U and a Sony/Microsoft console Not entirely sure on their exact plan for that, Probably gonna change that either way but it is for sure coming to PC Yooka Laylee is being made by old Rare not the ones at Microsoft, the old Rare members company name is Playtonic Games So getting something to play Yooka Laylee isn't going to be hard

I remember having this game as a kid. At the time i didn't know that i had to beat the Donkey Kong arcade game twice to progress in the actual game. I always played it for fun but Once i found that out let's just say it tested my patience. I got so mad to the point to where i stopped trying to get it for a good 15 years. It wasn't until yesterday i was like "it's been 15 years. i need to get this damn coin." I sat there for an hour & finally got it. Now I'm stuck on those damn slides.

This is the first video of yours I have seen before - I found this one by searching DK64 bad game lol. But as soon as I saw that opening shot of your backyard and just before you started talking, for some reason I knew you'd be Australian lol. I think the backyard just looked so familiar and like home, still tripped me out when I realised I'd guessed it right 😂
