"One of the finest platformers I have ever played"... Rayman, Sonic, Mario, LIMBO, Rick Dangerous and too many other platformers to name say HI!

Are u trying to tell him his opinion is wrong and that Donkey Kong isnt a great platformer?

It's a "very good" platformer. Same league as Mario and Sonic (and all them legendary platformers)? Nope. Hence why NO ONE will buy DK. But, it'll be fun seeing how DK performs. You can always find the "optimistic" fan boy to blow a game's trumpet and make it seem like it's "God's chosen one".


DKCR sales > pretty much every platformer you mention besides Mario. Actually, come to think of it, the DKC games are among the best-selling and most acclaimed platformers of all time. Period. The disappointment you speak of came from some wild expectations that Retro was going to reboot Star Fox or otherwise work on something far less commercially viable than a franchise that routinely sells 5+ million copies per installment.

I guess Reggie Aims is the man to hype up the "next big game".

But didn't everyone yawn when he announced Donkey Kong? I certainly remember A LOT of people VERY disappointed with Reggie and Nintendo.

Now all of a sudden DK is the next big thing? Ok.

I didn't; I was ecstatic. A sequel to one of my favourite games of the 7th gen, and one of the finest platformers I have ever played? Yes freaking please!

Ur making no sense. He said it was one of his favorite platformers. He never said anything about the game selling well or being critically acclaimed. Literally all he said was he liked Returns and is excited for the sequel.

Donkey Kong is actually well ahead of Sonic in terms of sales and reception. Sonic has been hit or miss since the genesis days and typically sells 1-3m while every mainline console DK has sold over 5m eith the expection on DKC3 and all have been critically praised. Even remakes and spinoffs have sold over 1m on numerous occasions.

I dont get how ur coming up with this NO ONE will buy it thing.

Read his comment again. He said, "One of the FINEST platformers I've ever played". Favouritism is something all fans use as a fall back measure when they're on the defensive. It's all good.

"I dont get how ur coming up with this NO ONE will buy it thing."

Come back to me after DK gets released.

You'll "get" how I'm coming up with "NO ONE will buy it thing".

Bed time here. Gots to get me ZZZZZZzzzzzs.

PEACE OUT!

U said didnt everyone yawn when Donkey Kong was shown

He said he was excited because he loved the previous one

How is that being on the defensive?

And I honestly want to know ur opinion on why u think no one will buy this game, not just "it will and I said so". I actually would like to hear u give a legit reason why this game will sell poorly.

I'll pass. I'm over DK. I was over it the moment Reggie announced it. Lol. : P

Ok cool ur basing it off of nothing just like I imagined. Obviously ur not over DK enough to come into a thread and bash it for no apparent reason. Ur exactly the type of person this forum needs.

I'm not bashing it for the sake of it. I just think it's not the game that will "revive" the Wii U. This is the topic of the thread. Nevermind.

It looks like Wii U has and will have some truly great games. Unfortunately I don't think that this game will help to push some substantial amount of units. It look like mind blowing graphics with average to ok gameplay + some hype is the winning formula these days. Even monthly subscriptions and ripoff micro transactions don't seem scare customers away. 

Honestly, that's the really sad thing in today's games industry and even more saddest for the Nintendo.

Of course it will

Implying there's nothing else to play? Not true; I've been playing the heck out of Mario 3D World, COD Ghosts, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Nano Assault Neo, Trine 2 Director's Cut and Monster Hunter 3 Ulimate on my Wii U. But DKC is different; since the first on the SNES I've had an abslute love affair with the series, and after waiting to long for this one I can't see myself tearing my attention away from it for quite a while.


No I have never said there was nothing to play on it, but there isn´t much and if you have played the other games this is the only one left. Plus there ain´t jack shit comming out in February besides the Monkey Game. I am looking foward to it as well, but I don´t think its going to be a GOTY contender.

Still plenty of Wii U games out now I haven't got yet; Sonic Racing Transformed, Rayman Legends, ZombiU, The Wonderful 101...

You think so, but I might not. I'll try the demos for both and see how I go. Pretty confident I'll like Rayman and Racing though.

I have played both of those games on other platforms and they are very very good
