[@matthewvandyk7773]

@@alexiere so if you want to play Donkey Kong country returns in 2025, the options are to still pay $20 to $30 for a physical copy, which may also include shipping fees. Plus, buy a Wii, and then you get an unplayable game because of the horrible trash fire motion controls. Or pay $60 ($80 in my case) and get the fane with the 3DS extras. Oh and if you wanted to play with a friend or in my case my son; I'd need to buy a 2nd 3DS copy which I found to be about $45 CAD with shipping taken into account. So yeah you can pay half the price to play DKCR but with downsides. Wii version includes just motion controls. And the 3DS isn't compatible for multiplayer unless you want to pay for full switch price for 2 copies of the game, but that assumes you have 2 3DS's. Plus you also have to take into account the prices of Wii's and 3DS you may need to find and buy. I understand this doesn't take thrift stores or online market places into account. However depending on where you life that might not even be a feasible option. Like i get this game looks to be a rip off. However i think instead of getting mad we need to take a more open minded look or view. See the entire picture.

[@wishbonefan]

P Diddy Racing has been in a state of legal limbo for a while unfortunately. Banjo and Conker are major characters in the game, and are both fully owned by Microsoft, which would mean Nintendo would need permission from Microsoft to re-release it. Even if they had permission to re-release it, Nintendo may not want a adult game like Conker mixed in with their other kid-friendly characters, nowadays.

[@supreme-ss777]

@wishbonefan Thing was, the Conker in that game was based on his kid-friendly "Pocket Tales" version (the game that came out around the time after Diddy Kong Racing came out), not the "Bad Fur Day" one, as that game was supposed to be a sequel that was similar in vein to Banjo Kazooie, but Rare felt pressured to make it "different", so they did the unthinkable: making one of the first ADULT video games of all time.

For young new fans of DK, have fun with one of the best modern platformers out there. For longtime fans, get the 3DS version.

[@liannabunny7775]

But the 3DS Stuff is in this one too

[@Ray_2112]

No way lol. Why would I want to play that beautiful game on a tiny screen? It will look the best it ever has in HD on a proper TV

[@liannabunny7775]

@@Ray_2112 You talking to the one guy?

[@WERV2003]

You know that this port has the 3DS content BUT in HD right? 😂

[@BrendanJSmith]

I just want a new Donkey Kong 3D platformer with King K. Rool and the Kremlings! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

This is probably what it feels like to be a Metroid Fan.

[@Molten2004]

At least Dread happened a while ago and now they're getting Prime 4.

[@crinklyonion1410]

As a Metroid fan, it is.

[@WERV2003]

​@@Molten2004 Yes but Dread was 19 years after Fusion so DK fans aren't in the same Bad situation. I mean, DK has a Park, he was in a movie Last year and he also got a LEGO theme bundle, and now with this port, every Country game can be play on the Switch, the ONKY reason he hasn't gotten a new game yet it's because Retro it's busy with Prime 4 since 2018-2019.

[@jarerarebear1765]

Nintendo fans kindof are stupid though, they're expecting a brand new DK game when they didn't even buy the last one. It's not very smart to demand sequels while also doing nothing to support the series.

[@SilverShion]

I love this game, but asking 60 bucks for Re-Re-Release is just too much.

Games are luxury items. Work for it. And youll enjoy your hard work.

[@dannysummers4591]

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 such a dumb rationale. Games have value, and consumers don't feel its worth it spending full price on a game thats already been re released, and the original holds up great and could have easily been ported for half the cost.

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9Games aren’t supposed to be luxury. They are supposed to be something anyone can enjoy. That’s just an excuse to make video games unreasonably expensive.

0:31 the developers actually listen to the complaints and fixed it now it looks like they have fur.

[@LinkMountaineer]

It always looked like they had fur. They’re literally monkeys.

[@J2Bluu]

More than likely that was old for footage being used

[@banjobro64]

always had fur in-game but they show some cuscenes where it is still absent (see 0:27)
