Lol I know someone whose cousin still has one of those operations in a favela
Fantastic frankensteining of technology all the way from the 90's to brand new
And people are still buying lots of pirate DVD's

It's an anonymous website nigga, if you're not made of glass to be triggered by the bantz you're free to do it, it'll be better and more sincere than 99% of what's posted here daily but you'll be called a faggot a lot.

>it's highly cartoonish, not even just compared to DKC. sound effects and music are nonstop "bonkers xylophone!" levels all feel like they're from a scooby doo prototype with places like wacky aztec and spoopy castle. the new kongs are embarrassing and all make ridiculous noises non-stop, you have fruit guns and instrument attacks, and yes, there is a rap
Most of this was present in the DKC games. I think it's just the N64 hardware allowing devs to make all this shit more obvious and faithful to their visions, for better or worse.

Why do you keep parroting this bullshit?

Why are you mad though?

How do you keep track of your collection?

oh OHH ah ah ah AH-AH oh ohh ah ah

>Have you ever been so mad at video games that you saved 16 pictures of dolphins to your computer?

>Donkey Kong Country 2
My favourite video-game, period. Best mechanics, memorable level design, best atmosphere, best soundtrack, nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia. This game is the reason to get your SNES SPDIF/Coax modded. NEEDS to be seen in RGB too.
>Yoshi's Island
Beautiful game, great mechanics, great level and enemy designs, and Koji Kondo makes some of his best stuff. Deserves to be seen in RGB.
>Kirby Superstar
Solid game and mechanics, some of the most memorable levels and areas I can remember in a game, amazing soundtrack, and dat co-op. Again, needs to be seen in RGB.
>Wario Land 4
Read the 600-page analysis.

Yeah yeah, not /vr/, but my god this is fun. One simple bit of control makes for tough yet fair platforming, along with a great Commodore aesthetic, cute story/characters, and a fucking godly soundtrack.

Platformers are my life, get on my level.

I knew I wasn't crazy

Diddy confirmed GOAT

>>2004069
>>2006028
What am I reading?

Diddy is the best with his high speed. Dixie was designed to be an easier character to play but everything in the game can be completed by Diddy alone.

Do you not know that you can cartwheel into a jump to gain distance?

Boy do I have a DKC track for you.

Or maybe some DKC2?

Enjoy, congrats, you know the rest.

>Which DKC was your favorite?
2. Period. Dixie is my waifu. Nearly every point of this game is flawless. Some of the best gameplay, music, and atmosphere. Playing through RGB/Framemeister, the game is gorgeous to this day, and the gameplay still holds up wonderfully. My future grandkids will be playing this.

1 almost makes the top, seeing how it was my first video game, but it has noticeably aged. The combination of more atmospheric music with the backdrops given still make it fun to run around for a little while, but it gets old pretty quick, and can be pretty easily beaten.

3 has not held up nearly as much. Sure it was neat that each world had more unique gimmicks, but these gimmicks weren't expanded on save for Krematoa. As well, while Eveline Fischer is a good composer, and made some great tracks for DKC1, she can't handle a full soundtrack. No one touches David Wise. Not to mention, I'm aboard the Kiddy hate train. Whilst giving Kiddy more weight when carrying brings depth to the game, it slows things down too much for my tastes. Also Ellie sucks as an animal buddy.

>Did you have a favorite character
Dixie made me a furry, so there's that.

>Song
DKC1 - Ice Cave Chant, though the whole soundtrack is pretty good
DKC2 - The Entire Fucking Soundtrack - Pretty much every piece on here is gold. The OC Remix album of this is also damn good.
DKC3 - Frosty Frolics and Water World, everything else is just kinda there.

Rules say 99 but fuck it, /vr/ has been around for a year, the date should bump up accordingly or we set a pre 7th gen rule.

>Implying mods really do shit and don't just kill threads that they disagree with.

To be fair, Americans barely thrive on it. Free markets work the same way a cancer cell does; growth for the sake of growth.

I guess it depends on your definition of "thrive" is. Americans have it better off than a lot of other countries, but are digging ourselves into a hole with "muh free markets"

>This is one of the main things that fucks me up
I agree, the graphics are so "floaty" and turbid that it is sometimes hard to see what is platform and what is not. It's more clear cut in NES games.

Hey /vr/, planning to go out and get some games for my 3DS, Genesis, and Snes. Got around under $200 to mess around with and just wondering what are some good affordable games for the Snes and Genesis?
