DKC Atlas Forum

I just randomly decided to visit this website after a few years away, and one of the active topics is this one: which was started by me EIGHT YEARS AGO. Wow, time really flies fast!

Oh really? Those DKU japesters! This is why I generally don't use their journalism as a source of information. Haha. Well, without their journalism these finds never would've been leaked; this was all due entirely to one of my DKU colleague's personal interaction with said former employee after mak...

Actually, Tim Stamper didn't really leak those. It's another former Rare employee whom would rather have the DKU keep their identity secret, so they jokingly refer to the guy as Tim Stamper himself. He's been leaking a stream of interesting info about the gba development for a while now.

Yeah, I love Paon's new characters as well. I just felt that all of their old ones were a bit... off I guess. Tiny, Cranky, K. Rool, etc. Also, I don't like how everything they used tended to be some reused design, if you know what I mean. Like, I'd prefer them to make new Kremlings and enemies, ins...

I don't want to say that they intentionally and with malicious intent lied to there fans in an effort to purposefully screw them over. That's clearly not the case. However, the way they hyped it was misleading, and regardless of intentions, they screwed us over. As for how they actually mislead us, ...

Actually Tiptup, I'd personally say Nuts & Bolts' situation was much worse than DKCR's. In Nuts and Bolts' case, Rare flat out called in Banjo Kazooie 3 for ages, and even released a trailer showcasing only the showdown town segments of platforming without vehicles, before letting everybody down...

DKCR was never intended to be DKC4, and if a real DKC4 ever did come out, I doubt it could live up to the hype. If you don't like DKCR, imagine how much worse it would've been if they'd named it DKC4.

By the way, I still like DKCR.

From my experience, AMD processors are more affordable, but Intel processors are of higher quality. AMD processors tend to have more problems, while Intel are just really well made and issue-free. They're a crap ton more expensive, but you get what you pay for. That's been my view anyway, can't tell...

Hell, that thing could be felt as far away as Michigan where I'm at. I didn't feel it (probably slept through it) but some people I've talked to did.

Thanks a lot guys!

Well, Kaos of course is one of his creations, and it definitely doesn't seem out of the question to assume he built Belcha (because Belcha does seem to be a creation and not a natural animal obviously). The rest of them I'm not so sure about; I don't see any reason why any of the animal type bosses ...

At the DKU they seem to assume that the crosshairs in Angry Aztec are indeed Krosshair from DKC3. Seems logical enough to me. Since he's got speakers that could be how he shouts "GET OUT!".

I don't think I ever posted it here, but I got a Virtual Boy.

The rocket barrels didn't add much (though I definitely didn't mind there inclusion, they don't feel out of place), but the DK coins acted as 1-ups because the health system was handled differently.

I think the Wii version is better. The crest system is the same between both games, it's only cosmetically changed. In the Gamecube version you get bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, but in the Wii version you get 1 crest, 2 crests, 3 crests, or 4 crests. It works the same exact way. What I like ab...

I've always defended Jungle Beat and think it's a great game. I've gotten full completion of it twice on the gamecube and twice on the Wii version. It's really good, but no DKCR.

@Phyreburnz: I know that, but SF64 is the first in the timeline, which is what I said. SF64 is a reboot of Star Fox, they don't take place in the same universe. @Tiptup: I'm almost positive that the DKC ports weren't made by the same people that made the originals. Not because those people didn't wo...

Nintendo has never cared about continuity. Occasionally, development studios within Nintendo at specific points in time have tried to work deep continuity into a specific game, but generally that's not the case and most of Nintendo's games are made to be self contained, ie they have their own story ...

Tiptup, the article you list doesn't necessarily prove one way or another. If you're simply going by which of the two options is mentioned the most, then yes, Cranky is called grandfather more often than he's called father. He's also called Diddy's grandfather as well, so that doesn't really prove a...

You are definitely acting like you're 13 or younger. Do you honestly think this topic needs to exist? You've been 14 for a month; that is hardly even worthy of being a random thoughts topic post. Here's a lesson in growing up: there is no difference between 13 year olds and 14 year olds. Please stop...

Well you are right, the finished product does have some issues with multiple button presses. I can't press 3 buttons from the same "set" at the same time. Here's how my buttons ended up laying: L-/ R-; Start-p Select-\ Up-r Down-b Left-f Right-v Y-u X-n B-m A-j None of that was on purpose,...

Viva Pinata is a great game, and so is it's sequel. That has nothing to do with the logo on the box, I just really love those games. Nuts and Bolts I don't care for really at all, and Ghoulies I never played. Anyway, nobody is blindly praising DKCR (well, I don't know that for sure, but I know when ...

Almost everybody at DKU despises Rare and everything they stand for now. In fact, Rare worshiping is very... rare... nowadays. I won't argue with anything else you've said, I'll just say that one complaint is really out of date. Rare worshiping bigotry has been out of style since like 2008.

Alright, so seeing as this post is in the "Emulation" subforum, you can probably gather from my title that I'm in need of a better controller setup for SNES emulating. I've got a couple of spare SNES controllers for the project of converting them to USB so that I can use the real controlle...

Tiptup, you need to chill down a notch. I might just be imagining things, but I feel like more people recently have been admitting they like the game than they used to. I also tend to notice that younger people (maybe those that started off with the N64 generation rather than the SNES or NES) tend t...

That's what I've been saying since it started, but I've quit trying to groom this forum into what it should be. Nobody upholds the standard that it was initially intended to be. I can't get anyone to change the way they post, and I can't ban everybody for not posting the right way or else there woul...

This is the home console.

I know you were being respectful, I'm just preemptively trying to prevent any sort of argument from materializing about this. This topic isn't about what everybody's beliefs are regarding homosexuality, it has a specific purpose for people who do support homosexuality, and thus people who don't real...

Alright, I'm sure that post (though polite) is going to get on some people's nerves in this topic, so I'd like to ask right now that nobody here comment on Tiptup's post or try and argue with his opinion (he will not change it). I'd also like to ask Tiptup not to post again in this topic, out of cou...

Well, the other issue is if Baby DK and Baby Mario are born around the same time, and if Baby DK is modern DK, then why does Mario have a mustache already when DK is still a baby in DK JR? If Baby DK was Cranky and the apes aged faster than humans, it would explain why Cranky got so old when Mario d...

I didn't say that. I said Baby DK is Cranky, and DKJr is DK from the modern DK games.

I literally celebrated and was joyous for several days over the event. I can see the other side of it (other than not believing he's dead because he's totally dead), but I personally was very happy he died. To put some perspective on things, my dad was in the air on 9-11, and I didn't get a hold of ...

Don't worry, this one's been taken care of.

Although I disagree with Tiptup's opinion regarding DKCR, I don't mind because he's entitled to it. None of us can say there aren't flaws with the game or that it wasn't disappointing in some regards, but some of us took issue with those flaws more than others, which is ok. I love the game and can't...

I wouldn't be surprised to see them port it again, in fact I'd be surprised to see BK on there at all outside of a port. And the thing about DK64 being the only 3D DK game it one of the reasons it's disappointing to me. It certainly has it's merits (hell, the beginning of the game is nearly orgasmic...

There are rumors of Rare and Nintendo considering possibilities of working together on 3DS, and the idea of Banjo Kazooie 3DS and Starfox Adventures 3DS came up. There's no plans right now, but if they've talked about 3DS development, than that's the most likely way of DK64 making it's way to the co...

Yeah, I don't think there's an error in the password system for us, I just think some bots are trying to log in to our accounts and that's why we get the message. Make sure you have a strong password just in case somebody's trying to log in as you.

Yeah, I live in West Michigan, and if you guys aren't aware, we don't really get Tornadoes. As in, I've never even heard of a tornado happening around here in my whole life. However, on Tuesday my Track Meet was cancelled because of a legitimate tornado and the town sirens went off and everything. I...

Dixie was really popular before DK64, but since Tiny replaced her she faded away for a long time. She's back now, but she'll never be playable in a platformer again. That's why I don't like Tiny. However, I do like DK64 Tiny a lot more than the new redesign of Tiny.

I don't really dislike any of the Kongs in DK64, though I don't really like how Funky became an army guy (and then have that completely ignored by Paon later), and I don't like Candy's interpretation in that game all that much. Actually, I don't like Tiny Kong either (tiptup is gonna kill me). I vot...

Yeah, the three "eras", from what I can gather, are most likely Genesis games, Adventure 1 and 2, and then Unleashed/Colors. I would imagine that most everything else will be ignored.

Yeah, from what I can gather, the game will be made up of levels from Sonic's past remade and updated in both 2D AND 3D, meaning for instance Green Hill Zone is remade (and only slightly changed) for classic play, but also reimagined in 3D for modern Sonic to play through, and assumingly there will ...

The Wii has had constant drops in sales for months. Now that Kinect and Move are out, Nintendo doesn't have the advantage in motion controls anymore, and it's impacting their sales... a lot. They can't keep up for much longer at they rate they're losing sales.

Yeah, I've had the error that Qyz and Simion described, and my worry is that somethings been trying to login to my account. So a stronger password has been put in place, and I'm not worried. This new error seems much more troublesome however.

Yeah, when the 360 came out first it was massively beneficial for them... at first. However, it backfired for a couple reasons: 1) Nintendo was able to gain success by trying something new and quickly dwarfed both their competitors. 2) Sony was able to incorporate new technologies like Blutooth and ...

It will be backwards compatible I assume, but that doesn't mean the new controller will have to support that function. If the new controller is drastically different it won't matter because I'll assume they're still using blutooth which means you can still sync a good old remote to it and pop in a W...

Yeah, I've been saying for two years that Nintendo would unveil their next console at E3 2011, while the other two consoles would wait until E3 2012. That's what looks like is gonna happen. Anyway, although I wasn't really disappointed with this past generation overall, I'm still glad to see the shi...

I'm cautiously optimistic. At the very least the trailer has piqued my interest, which both the Black Knight and the Colors reveal trailers failed to do.

Another idea is that they all committed mass suicide. Anyway, I no longer think that Jungle Beat takes place on DK Island. The remake's story makes it pretty clear that DK traveled to a foreign land to help the Party monkeys. So the Fruit Kingdoms are probably somewhere east of DK Island. Or.... new...
