Ah yes. He was the classic in Donkey Kong Country (the 1st one) and Donkey Kong 64 (though, his alter egos in DKC2 and DKC 3 were cool too). Good times...
I hope he makes it in Brawl.

He was also pretty funny in the Donkey Kong TV show they used to have (which was computer animated).

Yep. Good times... although the show was pretty silly, but Diddy acted kinda cute in it. xd

True, but it was good back in the day.

Yeah. Sure was, back when they showed it on Fox Family on Sunday mornings...

You don't get those sort of shows anymore.

Probably the most catchy song in the history of Donkey Kong. 😂

I wish Rare did another DKC game, shame they belong to Microsoft now. 🙁

Yeah...
Diddy Kong Racing on the DS sure wasn't the same as the N64 version because of that (since there was no Banjo or Conker), but at least Nintendo still owns the rights to Donkey Kong.

Still, the DK series will never be the same again without Rare...
Handing Rare over to Microsoft was really a bad move by Nintendo.

Well they have lost quite a bit there

DKC
Conker
Banjoo Kazooie
They could have had Viva Pinata as well

Rare have a certain spark to there games, something that adds that extra depth and satisfaction, DK games seem to be more beat and music related, I still say the best DK games are the platform ones, the first two country games and 64, I think that without Rare it losses its spark.

Banjoo lost his fun...ness after game two. Conker had one game. Not much of a lost. But K. Rool needs to be in Brawl.

Neo Darkhalen Mission zero

It's not like him or Ridley for that matter could not be implemented into brawl, and since they have many tactics within there villainy they would be fun to use.

Nintendo still has the rights to that. After all, the DKC trilogy was ported to the Game Boy Advance.

Like I said though, it's too bad Donkey Kong 64 wasn't ported to the DS like Super Mario 64 was.

Yep, and don't forget that Rare made other great things like Goldeneye, the Killer Instinct series (which was short lived), Star Fox Adventures, etc.

The DK games nowadays do, with Rare no longer being part of Nintendo and all. That really made the DK series go downhill from that point forward...

The first three Country games, you mean?

Indeed 🙁...

Meh. I only played the first Banjo game for the N64 (forgot what it was called exactly), so I wouldn't know. 😛

Indeed. ✅

If he doesn't make it in Brawl though, I won't be completely disappointed since they still added Diddy Kong, but I would still like for K. Rool to be in too. I can see him having something to do with the Subspace Emissary.

Agreed.

I never liked DKC 3 at all.

Why not? 😬 It was every bit as innovative as the previous 2 DKCs.

Neo Darkhalen Mission zero

It was alright, just not as good as the other 2, I have it on my emulator so...

Oh, yeah. That, I can agree with, but I still liked the bears that were in it. Making deals with them and stuff was pretty neat.

Cosmic Cube I don't have any friends.

Ness has only been in one game... (asides from Smash Bros and Melee).

After watching that clip, for some reason, I want King K. Rool to be in Brawl. Interesting.

MadMel Heh
