Which one was the best?
2, no contest
All of them as a unit
2 no contest.
2, no kongtest
3 was the only one I played
2 > 1 > 3
3
Tropical Freeze
I like 2. Also, are the new ones any good? Returns and Topical Freeze or whatever
2 > 1 > 3
>>340290537
Returns has mandatory waggle but that aside its good, TF is GOAT.
>>340289732
2 is objectively the best, however they all did interesting things and all ended up good
>>340290537
No, they play completly differently, the gravity/momentum is ridiculous and adds needles frustration to simple movement and the control scheme for the gimick abilities (blow/grab) is attrocious.
The overrated music isn't even that good either.
It's shameful to see how much those awful games get shilled here.
2 because 3's levels were too gimmicky
>ayy this level is a bit plain, what should we do?
>how about we flip the controls!
2>1>3
that being said they were all so fucking good.
1st games I ever played, still have em and play them.
>>340289732
2, but both 1 and 3 were fantastic too
>>340290537
They're both really great, but different in play style to the original trilogy. Play Returns on an emulator or hacked Wii with the "Use Classic Controller" or "B to Roll" gecko codes if you can.
3 is the overall most fun game with the best levels
>>340290537
Tropical Freeze is top fucking tier, but it controls differently than the old DK games.
DCKR is okay.
>>340290756
So the new ones don't have a lot of the fast paced tricks you can do in the originals? One of the fun thing in the first 3 was just comboing off enemies and getting the timing down
>>340290851
or 3DS as well, if you want it on-the-go
2, you could make an argument for 1 in how simple and perfectly crafted it is but 2 takes what was already perfect and makes it even better
3 was good but kinda weird, i always felt it was the black sheep
it was a great game but just felt off
I like what this guy says though
>>340289991
2 > 3 > 1
1 has the worst level design and atmosphere, go back and play it if you honestly think 3 is the weakest. It has better music than 3 and that's all.
>>340290537
I'm with this guy >>340290756, didn't like them at all and I don't really understand why people think they're good
>>340291013
Eh, I think 30 fps really hampers it on handheld, not to mention there's some missing content.
2 is the best.
1 is great.
3 is dog shit.
>mfw I realized It's "Diddy's Kong Quest" and not "Diddy Kong's Quest"
>>340291221
3 is a good game, but its a weird DK game
3 dk platformers on one console never again
>>340291161
What content is missing?
The only 3DS difference I knew about was the bonus levels that weren't in the Wii version, where there's a whole world after the K levels instead of just one level
>>340291020
>3 was good but kinda weird
It's a fucking fevered dream compared to the other two. There's a boss that's a giant barrel. There's a boss that's a face in a waterfall. There's a snowball fight with an evil snowman boss.
While it has a similar graphical style to the other two games, they're changed very slightly and evoke a strange feeling of uncanniness. The weird bear NPCs. The bees that are changed to saw things for whatever reason. How one of the two playable characters is literally a giant baby.
Whereas the other two games took place on islands, DKC3 takes place in this mountainous lake area with tall forests, cliffs and castles.
It's just a strange fucking game with a constant feeling of something being not quite right, but you can't put your finger on what.
>>340291529
it's because it's Canada
>>340291253
>not Dong Cunt 2: Dong Queef
2 > 3 > 1
2 was just perfect. Loved the pirate theme, the pacing, right number of gimmicks, best music and an awesome last boss,
3 was a great game, but Kiddy Kong was dire and it was too easy.
1 was good, but definitely the weakest looking back. Has dreadful bosses and not a lot of variety in its levels. Also the way it handles just feels... off. Still good for its time though.
>>340291381
My mistake, I recalled hearing shortly after release that it had lost a world not gained one. Guess I had it around the wrong way. I didn't play far enough into the 3DS version to realize.
>>340291529
this. It's DK, but DK that licked some leaking battery
2, it has awesome levels
>>340291529
The character models went downhill after the second game.

>>340289732
>>340291529
this is a graphical representation of DKC3
>>340292282
Is this a real list of suggested names Rare came up with for DKC2? Because that's hilarious.
>>340291346
The Golden Age of videogames is long past, we are living in the nightmare realm of mobile cash shops and streamers.
>>340292282
>Ye Canny Get Riddy Diddy (Scots Version)
>>340292484
im not sure but the tactic of just coming up with anything/there are no bad ideas, is a real thing that works well
out of all the shit you usually have a few gold in there
>>340292525
>we are living in the nightmare realm of mobile cash shops and streamers.
you are literally me
>>340292525
idk man there was a ton of shit in the mid 90s too but you just look back at the good games and filter out the shit
I'm pretty sure the same will happen with this era
>>340292825
Kids these days grew up playing CoD, Dark Souls, minecraft, and goat simulator, they will never have good opinions.
>>340292282
>tfw we missed out on Dickylicky Kong
3 had a lot of level design problems. Just like, sections that were bullshit. It also over relied on that damn elephant, and the boss fights were all shit.
And the music was mostly bad, outside of a few tracks. GBA version was a straight improvement.
>>340290414
this but all of them are great
I've always respected people's opinons on subjects like this but when it comes to DKC if 2 isn't your favorite you have inferior taste.
>>340293041
>goat sim
>bad
>>340292282
Rare were always really funny, even before they stated making games with actual jokes.
>>340293489
Cant go wrong with an overall pirate team, these nice areas, and 2 characters that are fun and fluid to use.
>>340293041
Honestly, there are worse things kids could be playing than Mineycrafta.
>>340292282
>Diddy in Space, Even Though He's Not
>>340293312
what's crossed out?
>>340293765
>pirate team

>>340293765
ayy lmao
>>340293640
I miss old rare. screw nintendo.
>>340293765
would love to see this game redone in 3D. like dk64, excerpt good.

How is that cat breathing under water?
It's a dumb reason, but 1 because you actually play as dk in it.
>>340292282
>Diddy's Kong Quest in third line
It really is one of them, though.
>Diddy's Search for a Toupee or Some Hair Restorer and Some Underpants
lol
>Diddy & Diddy in a Dress
That's almost the truth though.
>1>3
Just no
>>340293836
Assumably things even more offensive than "Dickylicky".
Or jokes about copyrighted names.
>>340290761
How 'bout I flip your shit?
>>340294552
Without having ever played the games, I'd be inclined to agree with this sentiment.
In the third game, you play as 90's Spunky Girl: The Character, and a big retarded baby.
It's a beautiful game, but it sure got a bit off track from being Donkey Kong.
