"Merry Christmas Donkey Kong, you're dead" is now of my favorite Videogamedunkey quotes of all time.

[@Dr._Zoidberg]

Videos like this are why you’re not just my favourite gaming KZbinr but my favourite KZbinr period. The way you balance humour with your passion is so perfect and precise that it can’t help but bring me and others joy. I subscribed back in 2017 and have seen pretty much all your videos multiple times, and honestly this might be my favourite series you’ve ever done. I also have a girlfriend of 2 years and whenever you upload something we watch it together pretty much straight away. Wish you, Leah, and all your subs a happy new year! Also, best of luck with BIGMODE in the coming year!!

Retro Studios has amazing attention to detail, like their design philosophy is pretty much "if a platform is floating in the air, it has to be floating for a reason." Every single platform in Returns and Tropical Freeze is either always sticking out from something in the background or has a justification for floating. Both of these games are some of the best platformers I have ever played, and I find myself coming back to them on occasion.

[@bluebaron6811]

Even the ones that have no reason for floating... have a reason for floating. The final world has platforms with runes on them that make them float.

[@kalimaude3532]

"this song is like a hoedown for millionaires" is such a precise, glittering scalpel cut of a line. it could not possibly mean anything other than what it does and it could not be more correct. if someone says something like that about your music you treasure it forever because it means that person heard the FUCK out of it.

As a matter of fact they did watch dogs within watch dogs, there's a minigame called Alone and it is phenomenal, i wish that That was watch dogs it works so much better, you only have about 2 guns and you have no ammo for neither and it takes a lot to kill the robots there and they are cameras and it's scary since you're being hunted throughout Chicago, the problem is that they don't expand beyond that, but if the main game was focused on that idea it could be amazing.

1:35 This perfectly sums up my first playthrough of Tropical Freeze on Wii U, I just rushed through it instead of giving it the attention it deserved. I ended up buying it on Switch mainly out of guilt tripping myself.

Waste of money. Don't buy the same game twice if you can avoid it.

[@joshevans3421]

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v why not? If you love a game and want to experience it on a different console maybe with a couple added features, I don't see anything wrong with it. Better giving money to an well crafted game twice than another EA or Assassin creed game.

Same

@@joshevans3421 You're mindlessly spending. Unless his Wii U broke, there's no financial or logical reason to rebuy the game.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v what people enjoy spending money on is their buisness. Don't judge people just because they wanted to buy a game they liked twice.

man i wish dunkey had made a video on donkey kong country returns, its probably my favourite donkey kong game

It's incredibly underrated and forgotten. Retro Studios used it as stepping stone for their masterpiece Tropical Freeze and never looked back. The Switch version should've included both!

This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest 2D platformers of all time. Seriously.

[@timzel]

Absolutely

When it comes to the 2010s its only real non indie competition is the Rayman ubiart duology.

Tropical Freeze was my kid's first DK game, and what a frustrating game it was, but they loved it. Being 8 or 9 and overcoming those harder levels makes you feel great. Reminds me of the old school NES days of hard games.

My last connection to Donkey Kong, before I stopped gaming entirely was on the Gamecube with Donkey Konga. I loved to play Hungarian Dance #5 in G Minor on hardest difficulty ... I actually managed to beat that one... 😅🤭😍
