DKC Atlas Forum

I've been playing the demo, and I have to say, you guys are doing a phenomenal job with this! Absolutely incredible! Here's hoping to see this through all the way to the finished product! Also, I have to say the difficulty ramps up pretty quickly. Level 1 was a cakewalk, and level 2 seems impossible...

I should really try it. After all these years I've never even given the hardmode option a shot.

Honestly, I think Animal Antics is one of the reasons I've never tried it. Too much fear.

Hey guys, I've been away for a while, doing college things and finally getting around to beating all of DKCR. Ad I've got to say, I thought it was one of the most amazing games I've played in a long time and Retro REALLY did a great job with it. However, there are some things that could use improvem...

I celebrated Samhain; essentially a celebration of the end of the summer harvest and new beginnings (May as well consider it Pagan new year) with a bunch of my friends and acquaintances. The whole idea about Halloween, nay, just spirits being inherently evil bothers me a bit, but it's all good. Peop...

Hey guess what DK4Ever! I'VE PROBABLY SEEN ABOUT A HUNDRED SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEOS, PLUS WE HAVE EXPLICIT CONFIRMATION THAT CRANKY IS THE ONLY HELPER KONG AND THE KREMLINGS AND WATER LEVELS ARE OUT. No we haven't played the game, but we are completely justified in bitching about it. Like... are you ...

Hey hey, guys! Well, as you know, or might not, if some of you folks are new, the past month and a half have been absolutely crazy-diculous for me. To sum it all up, I've changed a great deal. I've found an amazing group of friends, a wonderful girl I've fallen in love with and connected...

Hey guess what guys! We haven't played the game yet! People, ESPECIALLY Tiptup, save the griping for when you finally play the game in November. It REALLY, REALLY does no good to hear the same complaints over and over again masked by different possible issues each time. The only time these complaint...

Hey now, let's be careful what we say about Zelda. That's my childhood (and current adult life) you're talkin' about. I think they could easily remove Jetpac and put DKJR or something in for even a VC release. If there's enough demand for it, they'll do it. Then again, they can't put Earthbound on t...

I think DKC3's box art, but it's hard to say really. DKC3's is just what I picture first when I think of DKC, even though it wasn't my favorite game in the series. And there's alot of interesting things going on in the background of it. (Same for the other 2, but still).

Well..yeah.

I forget if we've mentioned this or not, but the pre-order bonus thing is totally awesome.

Hell yes.

Qyzbud!! Happy Birthday, dudemansir!!

Retro can't be exactly like Rare was, no. No company can, but has any Nintendo-affiliated company gotten closer to Rare-quality than Retro? There are quite a few similarities between them as well. Rare technically revived Donkey Kong, and transformed him. Retro seems to thrive on series revivals. An...

It's depressing, really..

I just hope Retro can continue to act like the new Rare.

Happy Birthday, Kiddy14! Another year older; just gets better from here, my man.

The 4 standard elemental magics don't have such negative effects; Light and Dark can; I know a guy who spent a month learning how to cast Light and that's ALL he can do now, which isn't all that useful. Dark...I sort of explained. Dangerous, but yeah. Negative can cause physical harm, a...

It's very similar, actually. It's actually amazing the similarities you notice from even popular fantasy related to it, like Dragonball Z and Harry Potter. (There's a concept of beings called shades that function very similarly to Dementors), and Energy seems to work in a similar way (although to a ...

Ok, well, it's also become apparent to us lately that the thing between us is something she's unable to let go of from long ago; she's trying to keep her heart closed, and is trying to ignore my affections, but we seem to be gravitating toward each other. (We both worry about each o...

Stupid things...hmm..

Well, for the longest time, I actually forgot K. Rool's Keep was just one level (Castle Crush) and then more recently than I'd like, I found out I was mistaken.

Well, we've both recently come to understand...I suppose we can call it magic? It's not so much straight up magic as it is science-magic (Manipulation of electro-magnetic fields to a point. It turns out, our elements are opposites, but in the past few days, we've really grown much c...

Well I don't know how much of a random thought this is, since it's been a major part of my thinking for a long while now, but I'll put it here anyway. Good news, my friends! I've fallen in love! Over the past weeks, my thoughts were heavy with a whole lotta stuff, such as how to let her know how...

Well, at this point since we know Rambi's in, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more DKC animal buddies (Enguarde in the least, maybe Expresso). I also REALLY think Squitter's going to make an appearance, interestingly enough, those 4 were the only ones to appear as trophies in Brawl, not that that ...

I mean I don't think that's what he's going to look like when he's charging. That's more of a "Huh? What the hell?" look, but I'm sure when he's all up in something's face, he won't be so lax-looking.

Rambi. Yep. That's all I need to say.

Well I mean, based on your personality, I wouldn't really expect Kick-Ass! to be your movie of choice in the least. However, I think the world has much less to worry about from a satirical movie about superheroes than problems like violence and disease. Different strokes for different folks, and thi...

This really isn't the place for a topic like this, since this sub-forum is about emulators and ROM files, which are completely unrelated to a CD Rom. Forum Rules and Guidelines http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=177#p3031 But just because I like you, I'll tell ya you can find Ex...

Happy 17th, Jo! Hopefully you're enjoying yourself, and maybe playing a bit of DKC to celebrate perhaps (And other things of course)

Well, in the Let's Play community at least, it's remembered very fondly, so it's not all bad for DK64. I think a 3DS remake is very likely actually, I mean, I think it has as much potential as a 3D game as Ocarina of Time, and inevitably Majora's Mask. I'm thinking this is probably something they ha...

That level (What I could see of it anyway, I couldn't make out alot of details) is very similar in setup to Jungle Hijinx. As it turns out, this is making me even more excited.

Awesome!

Excellent, that turned out super-snazzy, Jo!

I wish I was more artistic, I'd love to do the K. Rool Kop thing.

I'd say we should stop discussing Kremlings or the possible lack thereof at all until the game is released and we know things about it. (When discussing DKCR that is, if we're talking the DKC Trilogy or other DKC-related games that have Kremlings in it, that's all fair game of course) I'll say this:...

You're right. According to Gamefaqs's data it was released on 11/24/94 in EU, and 11/25/94 in US, and Gamefaqs is usually pretty trustworthy when it comes to their data on a game, so I'd go with that as official. I can find additional sources if need be, but I'd say this is pretty true. Don't worry,...

Well, I haven't seen any talk about this, so I'll post it I suppose. It looks like, at least for NTSC folks (Probably others, they don't specify), DKCR is scheduled for release on November 21st, according to an article from Nintendo. (I found it on Retro's homepage) http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/...

DK collected his spoils of war.

Are we snooPING AS usual?

Literally everything. Everything. From the graphics to the soundtrack to the story to the characters to the game's natural feel to the environments to the soundtrack to the controls and the attacks and abilities and handling to the soundtrack to the secrets back to the graphics. Everything about the...

73. If a Gorilla or Monkey step on a beetle, it won't just flip over and try to get up.

Apologies for the off-topic bit, but it was just sort of on my mind and part of the thread's discussion. I really don't have much of a choice as it turns out, and I have found the controls really wonky and unreliable, and I think I would definitely enjoy it more on a GBA. More on topic...maybe? Play...

I've never played either of the Peg Swingers, and I've been thinking of giving them a try..

I think I'm off to grab a KoS rom!

Just like Mario of course

It's true, but what would you put in it's place?

You mean Wrinkly's on them as the character, not the card themselves right? (Actually I think Cranky would work better, he seems like a better substitute for the Monopoly Man) DK Coin and Kremkoin still work well as the Community Chest/Chance cards I think. Chimp Caverns is there because it was the ...

Hmm, I'd be definitely willing to help, and when I get back to college a week from today, I'll probably be able to put alot of work into it, with easier access to a printer, and other tools. And I see what you mean about the worlds versus the levels, worlds are a bit more iconic, but if we use world...

Well, I may as well elaborate on the layout (If it's not obvious, I could be stupid, that's not new for me after all) Well, DK's House is the most obvious place to start, and I felt like the first 3 sides of the board ought to represent, for the most part, each DKC game, the names of the stages are ...

My eyes? "Yeap. I think I found yer problem, sir. This here maps page is all dun tangley'd up." "I know that, but how do I fix it?" "Hell if I know, I don't know how to run one o' them fancy fansite things" Yeah, that page is all kinds of mess. I think you stumbled upon...

Here's an idea. Include the helper Kongs as playable characters, but make their stations the railroads. i.e. (Funky's Flights, Swanky's Bonus Bonanza, Cranky's Cabin, and Candy's Save Point). It's not like they aren't able to leave their stations. That also brings it up to 8 playables. As far as Wat...

Ok so we're talking about characters that don't have the same chances Cranky, Rambi and Funky do, but still might have the slightest chance of appearing? - Well, I'd say Squitter is one of my must-haves, but he's Squitter and not Rambi or Squawks, so he's less likely to show up. -The Brothers Bear (...

I'm not going to get into a pointless argument about the name thing, but I will say this: If they had called it something else, someone would have been complaining, maybe you, maybe someone else, pointing out that if they wanted to revive the DKC series, they should have called it DKC-something, sin...

I can see that, maybe those puzzle pieces will be connected to one or more helper Kong. (That seems kind of far-fetched though) Actually, I was doing some thinking and decided that you're probably right about Save Points staying as part of the world map, since I think Save Points accomplished the on...

Yeah, if they're really going for the original DKC feel, they're likely to choose Candy over Wrinkly, especially since Candy didn't have quite as much time in the series as others did, even Wrinkly. I could see the Funky/Dixie mode in this game, something like being able to unlock Protoman in MM 9. ...

Well, since we know that some if not most or all of the Kong Helpers are going to be returning in DKCR, why don't we get down to doing a bit of fun speculation as to what their roles may be. Right now we've got limited knowledge of the game, but that's what makes it fun! OK! First things first, let'...

Amen to that, sir. I think I might just go make a topic for speculation about the Kong Helpers (Positive speculation that is.) If it has it's own topic discussion will be limited to that, if it's in the main forum other unrelated things might pop up during such discussion, and hey let's face it, the...
