>still thinks correlation is causation
See? You're personally offended you cannot truly participate in a banal console war because it's long over. You want it to be popular or else your stance isn't valuable to you. All you have are games people tell you are fun, games you'll never get to experience on your own. Are you really enjoying yourself? Do you need me to tell you that popular fun games don't negate the existence of unpopular fun games? Do you need things spelled out for you again?

Just the opening alone shows that it's meant to be funny and self-aware.
>the game starts off slowly with a recreation of the old DK game
>suddenly the awesome music kicks in and the graphics step up
>Donkey violently enters knocking the old man out of the way and starts dancing like a fucking lunatic
>He's celebrating the game's presentation in the most stupid and over-the-top way possible because he's excited, and we're excited too
>Cranky strikes back with TNT and Donkey screams while his eyes comically enlarge

The comedy and self-awareness is what makes it different. It's not trying to be "90s cool", it's trying to be like classic animation, where the characters are idiots who are exploding with energy in-time to the music and can break the 4th wall.

>constantly brag about my gaming skills
>assume every game beyond my generation is shit

>all the running commentary
Donkey Kong Country manuals are a joy because of Cranky Kong but the best one is for DK64 because he both does running commentary AND it's like he wrote it.

Peak Cranky right here

The biggest shame of the Retro (studios) games is that Cranky isn't an asshole in them
