That's because they did everything in their power to make everyone believe they weren't European. Example: Battletoads on NES was made with NTSC in mind and the PAL version isn't optimized.

No, that's because they were technically a first party developer for Nintendo with little PR and marketing themselves, they only did what Nintendo told and paid them to do.
Same reason how Starfox is made by European developers but why it's little known.

Speccy for Rareware

Having just replayed the trilogy I'd give it a jank score of 4/10; there are a few areas where the game gets extremely European, but mostly it's fine. DKC3 however is a 6/10 jank experience.

Then it's not timeless, as I said, sure there's plenty of people who were stuck with it when kids and do like it, those aren't young people though

What is it with DKC losers that makes them instantly explode online in rage and butthurt, crying about how good their shitty game that nobody cares about is?

Its a platformer where you have precise air control, you have 2 hits before you die, the longer you hold the jump button the higher the jump, you have a run button that doubles as a special attack button, and most enemies are killed by jumping on their heads. The only real difference is there's less of an emphasis on powerups and you can roll jump. While not completely original, Its a standard platformer which makes it a good game on its own.

I thought you meant in terms of "feel" and control, since they don't. Sure it follow pretty standard platformer rules, but so does a lot of actual eurojank too.

Do you have a single source to back that up? And 007, really? I like that game but I can see why a lot of zoomers would deviate away from it due to the unstable framerates and alien controls. Even my zoomer brother immediately got the appeal of DKC as a platformer when we played it together, while I had to explain the historical significance of Goldeneye in order for him to appreciate it more.

Is there a single retro platformer with large sprites that doesn't suck? These developers were so obviously fixated on wowing players with detailed characters and animations that they didn't stop to think about how the scarce screen real estate might bog down gameplay. Well, none of that looks impressive anymore, so they all aged like milk.

It has to be sincerely dysfunctional or sloppily made in some way for jank to be used. Fallout, for instance, is an example of a jank game that's still great (though not European). Follow from there.

>>8849159
DKC still plays perfectly fine and was never that hindered by its screen real estate usage. It also still looks very good even today, so I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

2 is definitely the superior game but 1 is perfectly fine, if not without flaws like its lazy bosses (which also had nothing to do with screen usage).
