Just about to start World 8 in DKCRHD…

Yep, still love this game. Still a fantastic 2D platformer… Still hate the mine cart and rocket barrel levels. XD

The Rocket Barrel levels are way worse than the mine cart sections, and the level Rocket Rush at the end of DKC3 was even worse than the DKCR Rocket Barrel levels. Rocket Barrel levels need to be left out of the next DK game, assuming Nintendo bothers to have another one made.

The music is so great in those levels.

True, but the Rocket Barrel levels are still agonizing, especially Crowded Cavern (the one with DK and Diddy flying away from a giant bat).

Honestly...not sure what people have against the rocket barrel levels! I thought they were fine! Actually, they're some of my more enjoyed levels because they're like the only way these games improved on the SNES trilogy (The physics are still SLIGHTLY heavy/off compared to the crispness of SNES and the Mine Cart levels especially actually give you the ability to duck and mess around in water).

It's the awkward button controls to drop/raise the barrel which is easy to over/undershoot AND the fact that if you so much as brush anything, even so much as an piece of ice that's the size of a toothpick, your ass dead and you gotta do that whole section over again. SOOOO freaking frustrating! And some of them get so BS with the hazards and enemies that it makes you want to chuck your controller through a window. XD

I suppose but I also felt they had the cuphead thing where you get back into it so quickly that it's not frustrating at all. It's difficult and demanding but the way the game is designed makes it so it's not frustrating.

Understandably, I had a worse time of the Rocket Barrel levels in DKCR than Tropical Freeze. Though can't say if they were better designed or more fair or simply easier but I always remember the awful time I had with the last Rocket Barrel level before the final boss .... The last section was just straight up evil

Ok, so, from what I can remember, The Legend of Zelda, A Link To The Past, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Tears of The Kingdom, are the only Zelda games where Ganon actually dies. Games like Ocarina of Time and Breath of The Wild only have him sealed away.



Several new Switch games were announced at the recent State of Play, funnily enough

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

Warriors: Abyss

Darwin's Paradox
