This is really a monkey’s paw situation for those hoping for a new Donkey Kong country game.

I’m sure a lot are disappointed that this is the rumored DK game, but I’m excited to finally finish this game after I couldn’t beat it as a kid on GBA.

Release date is February 16th, 2024.

I’m so glad it’s a remake of the original rather than the Mini’s version the DS brought. This is basically the biggest evolution from the original Donkey Kong and was legitimately difficult. I actually played through it recently on GBA and it still holds up.

I feel like they could’ve made a sequel with new puzzles instead of such a direct remake. Maybe they plan to now that they have the models and framework? I guess that’s just wishful thinking maybe
GamerzCrazy
I’m disappointed they didn’t make a direct sequel to this kind of Mario vs Donkey game rather than the DS variant. Hope a lot of people end up buying this so we can see a true successor to one of the best platform games on GBA for its time.

really seems like the sort of thing they’d shadow drop, so February is a bit of a surprise. incredible game though, ready to play it again

Nintendo this isn’t what people meant when they asked for a new Donkey Kong
jdmorgenstern
This looks great! I’m glad Nintendo is investing in 2D side-scrollers.

Couch coop looks good!

At least the leaks soften the disappointment. What a wasted opportunity, considering DK being pretty important in the Mario Bros movie.

This is cool, but are they going to charge $60 for it? I’d pay it for a new DKC game, but probably not something like this.
guitarokx
I wasn’t expecting this by a long shot, but I’m actually excited to see this come out. Donkey Kong 94 was amazing, The GBA game was a classic, this kind of game is perfect on the switch.

Looks like fun

It seems people have forgotten that Nintendo does not have a dedicated handheld line anymore. There is no Game Boy or 3DS to release smaller titles to.
ManuMora98
This is the first videogame I ever owned, I still have the original cartridge, will buy this for that reason
Cyberfire
Seeing the cutscenes fully animated is probably the best thing about this remake.

A lot of memories playing the original Donkey Kong as kid and then the GBA version. This is an excellent Puzzle Platformer.

I was pretty excited at first that it was going to be a sequel to the GBA game. Disappointed it’s a remake honestly, would have preferred a sequel and just bringing the original to NSO.
The game looks pretty though.

Don’t you DARE sleep on this game!

So great, waiting for the release of dk94 all the time, never had an advance and only watched it partly as a let‘s play. Day one purchase.
jamurjo
I cannot be excited for this… but I hope some folks are!
GammaPhonic
Is this just a straight remake of the GBA game? Just put the GBA one on NSO. It’s a brilliant game, it doesn’t need remaking.
mecole21
Is this similiar in gameplay to Donkey Kong ‘94? I used to love that one for the original Gameboy – this reminds me of it.
richmondavid
No idea why this thread got the lowest amount of attention. Out of all Direct, this is the only game I’m buying as soon as it gets out.
And couch coop is a bonus on top.
Samoman21
It looks like a quick puzzly game like captain toads. But with jumping
astronomy_31415
so the new Donkey Kong game is a Mario game
damn
Shadow_118
This was a surprise to see
The remaster looks really good visually…
Think I’ll consider getting this..
Though, i wonder if they’ll add stuff from later games to this as expansions/DLC?

TFW they remake the sequel to Donkey Kong ’94 before actually remaking Donkey Kong ’94

My parents gifted me a Gameboy Advance SP 20 years ago. It was the “Mario vs DK” Limited Edition.
Now Nintendo is remaking this game. I’m literally crying 😭

Dark days continue for Kong fans.

I liked this game. It was a fun successor to the Donkey Kong game on Gameboy. It was a full adventure. I never finished it though.
zzz099
Donkey Kong 94 wouldve been better
ring_rust
This looks…kind of amazing? I’ve never played the original game or any in this format, so I can’t wait.
Pajamaetchi
This game actually looks hype ngl
Dougwug03
This is the kinda series that would benefit more from a new entry than a remake. But I’m not gonna pay 50 bucks for this type of game anyways
JayTeeDubbs96
So excited! I hope they eventually put Donkey Kong ’94 on NSO.
Mantasreddit
Can’t wait for this. I remember DK94 with so much fondness!
Factchecker86
Physical copy? Please? PLEASE?!?!?

PLEASE tell me this is getting a physical copy!

Who asked for this. Point them out. I just want to talk

I’ve been singing the praises of Mario vs Donkey Kong for YEARS. It’s a severely underrated game and I’m over the moon with this remake!
JonCee500
Oh my god yes, I loved these two games back in the day, excited to play this again.

Surely a remake of Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong GB would have made more impact
