Personally, I'd like to see Rare co-develop with Paon (The makers of King of Swing) to make a new DS Donkey Kong game, or a new IP from Rare exclusive to the DS, but with Rare you never know.īut yes, I'd still buy it in a heartbeat, DK64 is a game you can keep going back to, I was just playing it this morning and found this topic. the only logical choice next would be Donkey Kong 64 DS, since Rare can't port the Banjo, Conker, and Perfect Dark games onto the DS, due to them being on a competing system. So far, Rare has ported every Donkey Kong console game so far in order onto the GBA/DS However, the DS Expansion Pack that has been released could possibly help there, so anything can happen now.īut, thinking that we were able to get the game on the DS, I can see it happening honestly. So, the DS would need a lot of fire power, and I'm confident that the DS could do it, just without downscaling the game quite a bit. The problem with this game is obvious after. there's different things that have to be considered:ĭK64 was a HUGE game, and required the N64 Expansion Pack, b/c of the graphics and the game maps. Unfortunately, DK 64 doesnt have that same tight gameplay, and the story was never the strong suit of the series. No known Donkey Kong game is in development.Well. On the other hand, it’s worrying that he may fade into the background and become a secondary character, if that. Hopefully, with Donkey Kong set to appear in the Mario movie, The Big N will once again see another rush of Donkey Kong games. Nowhere is any mention of Donkey Kong 64, which is the big missing title, or even Diddy Kong Racing, but there’s plenty of Mario to go around. Looking at NSO’s N64 game list, though, there are four Mario games and one Zelda game ( Ocarina of Time) confirmed for launch, and one more Zelda game ( Majora’s Mask) among others confirmed to come at some point after. Nintendo acknowledged that the N64 may have been many gamer’s entry points into the world of 3D gaming, and while the classics it should like Star Fox 64 were certainly part of that, Donkey Kong 64 was just as relevant, if not more so, then. It was, to be blunt, quite revolutionary for the time. But recent years have shown no love to the ape, and neither did the most recent Direct.Īgain, Donkey Kong 64 is perhaps one of the most iconic games of his franchise but also of the Nintendo 64. His role in the gaming community would have been comparable, at one point, to Sony’s Spider-Man, Kratos, and Aloy and Microsoft’s Master Chief. Donkey Kong would see another surge of 5 games from 20, but after that, his entries would slow to the point that there have been a total of 4 games since 2007.ĭonkey Kong used to be a major mascot for Nintendo, alongside Mario and Link. A total of 9 games would release between then and 1999, including the much-beloved Donkey Kong 64. From 1981 through 1984, 7 games were released, but then he wouldn’t be heard from again until 1994. Now, DK has also had a bunch of releases followed by extended periods of silence. It still serves as the most recent entry in the Donkey Kong franchise. Couple this with his unceremonious release schedule, and Donkey Kong games typically release further apart than Zelda games.ĭonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was ported to the Switch in 2018, but that game was originally released in 2014. There was no love for the titular ape on his big 40th anniversary. While Nintendo has celebrated several big anniversaries lately, such as The Legend of Zelda and Mario, Donkey Kong's anniversary effectively went unmentioned. It’s not fair, nor fun to write that Donkey Kong is fading, but it’s clear that it’s just that.
