Forums - Nintendo - Why people assume that making a new Donkey Kong is lazy or lacks effort?

It seems people are blindly disregarding what Retro achieved with DKCR. Some people are even saying it could have been given to a B-Tier developer. Are you out of your minds?

Retro did what EAD never could. They made a perfect example of gameplay and presentation. The graphics, the animations, the level design, it was all high quality and very well done. The creativity was vast and it was a joy to play from start to finish.

Considering all the thought that went into this game, such as aweosme fan service and bringing ex-Rare staff (and now composers!), it's baffling to think this is a lazy cash-in.

No one could do it as well as Retro.

Because those people are lazy and lack effort.



I agree. The last few worlds of the game were particularly stellar, and really hard! Aside from the motion controls, I didn't have an issue with DKCR. I feel as if a lesser developer would've screwed up in some more prevalent way.

That's not true. I'm white and I wanted Metroid.



Have you ever played Metroid Prime? That's why.

Ohhhh you...

OP. I think a DK is a better option for Wii U now than Metroid... Nintendo needs to sell systems.



I just like metroid more xD



The effort spent to create a game is gauged directly by the amount of PR statements made by developers and publishers.

You kno?



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

Why has Nintendo's E3 conference come under so fire in general. Nintendo had a great showing. I sat through SONY's E3 and if it was not for FF15 and KH3 that would have been the worst conference EVER. Nothing but a mess of samey tech demos that have wanna narrators and ppl looking/talking to each other... and guns. Every game Nintendo showed was awesome. You are ppl are maniacs for your treatment of 3D World. More multiplayer the better. Nintendo should mandate that all Mario's must be coop experience. As for Donkey Kong, much better choice



DKC > Metroid

Although it would be fairly awesome if they made some Metroid games with the same kind of approach that they are taking with DKC rather than some dumb FPS.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
