Donkey Kong Country

>seal of approval
Nintendo, I

>>4582507
The seal means shit

>>4582883
What were they thinking?

>>4582326
>I’m edgy
No you’re a horse cock sucking faggot

>>4582883
t. the angry atari sega nerd

I think renting this for the awesome cover amd having such a shitty time, particularly with no manual was the first time I broke a controller.

>>4582293
I remember renting that as a kid. I think I finished it durijng the rental and was like "Really? Is that all...?"

>>4582507
>>4582883
Do people actually think this whole licensing thing is about quality control? It's about royalties for Nintendo, that's it.

>>4582293
The hype was huge for this game. The high-res PC version is a beautiful turd.

I owned about 20 SNES games and this one was the worst.

>>4583178
>LJN
>PAL
double whammy

>>4583178
This one hurt my soul too. I was big into both comics and so a game featuring them both SHOULD have rocked.
I knew from the first second of the first stage I was going to hate it.

>>4582914
Yes, that game is bad only because an e-celeb said so.

>>4583262
Um, no.
It's genuinely a shit game.
Have you ever played it?

>>4583320
when I rented this as a kid I remember saying to myself: "how the fuck did they manage to make superman tedious and unplayable"?

I rented this and remember looking at the back thinking, "that tower level looks bad, it's probably the last level though"
It's the first level.

>>4582948
Are the PAL versions of the DKC-games the definitive versions? I know that the framerates in Rare's N64 games are more stable at least.

>>4583370
It's the whole game, the US release was even titled Tower Toppler.

>>4583320
you ever notice this game doesn't even have the title written on the boxart. maybe Superman 64's real name is just "S"

Not him but you took the bait, mate. That was obvious sarcasm.

>>4583291
It's shit, just that the other asshole was accusing me of being an e-celeb parrot faggot or something. It's as if a broken clock wasn't right twice a day or something.

>>4583336
Licenses, friend. Licenses

>>4582293
They wasted all the budget on the animated intro.

This game has the worst controls of the entire ps1 library.

>>4583336
Any and every Superman game is tedious. He is not a good character to base a game on.

What the fuck were they thinking. This game sucks ass and I was so fucking disappointed when this came out.

Corporation.

I picked it up for £5 back in 1994, and played it (or attempted to) for about a week before completely giving up on it.

I don't remember what I did with it after that. I either traded it back in at the store, or traded it with some some poor sap at school.

I tried it again on an emulator to see if I was just too much of a dumbass kid to 'get it', but no, I was right. It was a clunky mess of untextured white shit.

>>4583605
I felt like the otter eating watermelon with this game. Spent easily 30 hours yet I'm pretty sure I didn't even get to 30% of the game. Fucking piece of shit

>>4583573
In the late 90's/early 2000's this game was selling for HUNDREDS of dollars because it was the only localized DBZ game

>>4582507
I think this is the worst SNES game ever made. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and I'm sure that many kids either bought this or received it as a gift because of how good Batman Returns was

JUUUST

>>4583320
I saw a youtube vid on this that was pretty interesting. Apparently they were constantly given notes that would fuck up development but the head guy would constantly go on magazine interviews and yammer about how this was going to be the biggest thing since sliced bread.

>>4582293
>Including music by Brian May
No wonder it sucked

>>4582893
I agree with him, and I'm pretty sure nobody actually likes Donkey Kong Country, they just compulsively believe that they're supposed to without realizing how much they hate playing it.

>>4583203
seduction. SEDATION

>>4583320
Then there's no time to waste

>>4582326
This, also Yoshi's Island. I will never understand how anyone can think those games are anything other than horseshit.

>>4582507
Is probably a reference to Kiss from A Rose.

>>4583391

the NES version, which is the version everyone played, was called Castelian

>>4585273
This shit right here

>>4583320
My older brother and I rented this game right when it came out and we were actually really looking forward to it. I even remember talking about how cool it would be with unlimited flight and that the flying might even be better than mario 64.

OHHH BOI did it suck.

rented it, hated it

>>4582293

>>4583320
the multiplayer was just baffling...what the fuck even was that?

>>4582293
The chrome guy looks like he belongs in one of the bikecuck comics.

>>4583485
What a let down from Yoshi's Island

>>4585036
it's a very fun game

>>4583178
It isn't that bad imho. It's basically a copy of Wolverine for NES with updated graphics and new characters. Love the music from this game.

>>4585520

Wolverine NES was shit though.

>>4585504
It's the most basic platformer in existence

>>4585084
I'm not huge into them (DKC is like a 6 and YI like a 7 out of them for me) but if you think games like that are horseshit then you really need to play some of the HIDDEN GEMS ITT.
If you want another one, try emulating The Guardian of Darkness for the PS1. I'm the unfortunate one here to actually own it.

>>4585916
out of TEN*

I'm glad people who dislike donkey kong country probably didn't get to play shit like the mask, wayne's world, chester cheetah, michael jordan chaos in wind city, bubsy, captain novolin, home improvement, lester the unlikely, beavis and butthead, boogerman.

The main thing I dislike about dkc is, if memory serves me well, it started this 100% a game trend.

Intolerably bad NES port of this arcade game. The arcade version was pretty mediocre, but the NES port was just awful.

I remember me and my brother would laugh at it, and I remember seeing the arcade version at a skating rink and thinking it didn't look much better.

>>4582948
>t. underage contrarian shitposter

>>4585865
That's a rediculous exaggeration. You just sound like an edgy teen

>>4586296
But its true tho.Especially the bosses.

kid me was confused as shit

>>4588052
and then there is the game that taught me style over substance was a thing.

the visuals and animation are really good for n64, but like it feels like a stripped down port of a better game

>>4585865
yeah and it executes it perfectly

>>4585484

gtfo. possibly the best tekken.

>>4588072
How much of a clueless casual do you have to be to believe this?

>>4585865
so what. Its very on point with level design and controls. Its like complaining about a mario world because its a basic platformer, I just dont get you people in this thread.

>>4585084
you must be having a laugh mate. dont play a fucking platformer ever again.

>>4585865
are you one of those weirdos that considers DKC 2 to be lightyears ahead of the first game, when they have pretty similar basics and level design?

>>4588061
>>4588590
How is the level design so on point.The platforming parts are just go right and jump on heads or roll.Can't imagine anyone playing it for that.

>>4583402
>maybe Superman 64's real name is just "S"
It's actually Superman: The New Superman Adventures
