New Donkey Kong Country! YES!

This could be good or this could be bad.

I loved the first two DKC games but there were things about the 2nd one that I hated and any other DK games after that were no good namely DKC3 and DK64. So I hope they do it right this time around.

Really? While DK64 was no Super Mario 64 or even a Banjo Kazooie, it was certainly a great game and received quite a bit of favorable reviews and scores for its time, as well as in more recent areas. What are your reasons for not liking it?

I quite enjoyed the DK series and really ... it seemed inevitable that they'd make an appearanceon NDS or Wii at some point in time given they are high profile Nintendo IP. I'd like for DK64 to go Wii VC ... can't believe it hasn't happened already

In my opinion, DKC2 is in the top 5 SNES games of all time. In fact, that and Super Metroid are probably tied for 1st on my list.

I just finished watching the trailer here:

It looks like it will be as good as the latest Mario game for Wii, which blew away all my expectations. I can't wait for this new DKC to come out!

Despite being a diehard Mario fan, in retrospect the Donkey Kong Country series were simply superior platformers. While I owned/own Donkey Kong Country, and only played 2 and 3 through other sources, they were great games. It was like being exposed to an N64 game compared to the dated platforming experience of Mario. (Probably not a fair comparison, since they are different types platformers)

I'm eager to see how this compares to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Seems they'll be a definite throwback to the NES/SNES years, as well as an advancement. Rivals in a sense.

I'm a big fan of the first DKC, too, but after that they felt a little dumbed down. This, however, looks to be exactly what it should! That sunset level alone is enough to make me want to play...

Because it was boring! Same thing for Banjo Kazooie but I rather enjoyed Mario 64 but that was the first of it's kind so it was inevitable.

I was just going to post that too. Man does it look like they did it right. And look who is that "Donkey Kong" unlike DK2 and DK3

[E-Day]

This, along with Kirby Epic Yarn were enough to make me happy!

Loved the first DKC. This and NBA Jam brings back fond childhood gaming memories

All we need now is the next "New Super Mario" game to have SMB3 powerups and BAM!, childhood nostalga complete

New DKC = awesome!

I'm very, very tempted to get a Wii just for the new retro-like games coming out for it. Hopefully soon I'll be able to afford it.
