| Soundwave said: I like the DKC series, but I'm not sure if Retro is the right developer for it. DKC: TF was a bit too hard IMO, the DKC series should have some tough platforming but should generally be relaxing as well, I dunno. |
I have very complicated feelings about the Returns games. I don't actually don't think they're too hard at all, but I absolutely don't think they are Country games. The gameplay is completely different, the artstyle is completely different, and perhaps most importantly the atmosphere is completely different. I think that I would be happier if they were called something else, like Donkey Kong Returns or something.
In other words, I think the games are pheonominal, and I don't mind Retro making at least one more, but I wish they just called it something else because they have absolutely nothing to do with the original trilogy outside of being 2D platformers. It's the same reason I'm okay with Metroid Prime. If they called it Metroid 4: Prime, it would aggrivate me, because they play nothing like those games or really any Metroid game. Prime is one of my favorite games of all time, but a big reason I can stomach its vast deviations from the core aspects of the franchise is because it simply branded itself as a side series.
