They should make another 3d Donkey Kong game, right? - June 4th 2025, 04:10 AM

The old 2d games are classic. The new ones seem to just pass the time. We need a new 3d one. The gameplay in DK64 was substantially different. It had a depth (no pun intended) to its personality that the prior games lacked. You need to rescue each individual playable kong starting with DK and then you need to go to various non-playable kongs to get potions or musical instruments that you need to play the game. It even includes the original Donkey Kong in an arcade machine in one of the levels, which you need to clear before beating the game. Beating this game gives you a silver Nintendo coin. You also need to play some other arcade game (forger what it is called) with Cranky Kong in order to receive the Rare corporation coin(Rare was involved in DK64). Both coins need to be earned to play the last boss. When you play the last boss, you use different items and powers that were given to you by the other non-playable kongs. This gives the game more personality because it helps tie those characters in as a truly important and integral part of the game. It also helps tie much of what you did or earned in the game together, which makes the game feel very unified.

There are things I think they could have done better with the game though. I play video games only a handful times per year and unlike Mario 64, DK64 does not easily let you know where you left off. DK64 does not tell you what specific golden bananas (or other items) were already collected while Mario 64 shows you which gold stars still need to be found. This makes DK64 nearly impossible to play from a file you havent used in months or longer, while I can pick Mario 64 right back up where I left off 10 years ago. Other than that, I like DK64 more than Mario 64. Walking around that same castle gets old and Mario 64’s gameplay seems too slow for a Mario game (an issue they fixed when they made Mario Galaxy).

Other than that the game is great and is very captivating. I find it disappointing there has not been another installment for DK besides various DK country remakes and Mario vs Donkey Kong. DK country has a storyline, but it is not as captivating as DK64’s- instead, they just feel like platformer games that were artificially given a storyline whereas DK64 has so much more depth to it and you actually perceive the story the entire time you play the game and not just at the introductory beginning. You may not even precisely perceive the story if you skip the intro. Each character is also well built in DK64. They each have their own identities. But in DK Country, they are just a bunch of playable 2d entities(dixie, diddy, dk).

Hi, I don't really play video games, but it would be cool if they could make a new one.

The Nintendo switch 2 has just been released so maybe they will do a donkey kong now that the switch 2 has been launched?
