Was it considered a financial flop?
hey lets make a game like the SNES DK games. but give it worse level design, shittier music, and generic art style
>>322566475
It sold over a million, so no.
>>322566823
Wii U fags are gonna hate you man
>>322566823
You're not wrong, but they're still pretty close, and it's really fucking hard to top DKC2
>>322566823
Your absolutely correct when you consider Donkey Kong Country Returns
But that's it
Tropical Freeze is easily the second best DKC game
>>322566823
Do not waste bait!
>>322566823
>shittier music
That's crossing the line
>>322566475
/biz/ is so great
>>322566475
No but it definitely underperformed for a DKC game and it wasn't a system seller like Nintendo hoped.
>>322568132
Sure is. I love talking about sales on good ol' /biz/, butthis is Nintendo related, so it's okay.
>>322568553
Any side-scrolling Nintendo game is probably fairly low-budget.
Not "it's shit!" low budget, enough enough where I'm sure even 500,000 units sold is good news
>>322566823
That's Donkey Kong Country Returns though, the only memorable music from that game is the Rocket Barrel and the DKC remixes that barely touch the originals
Tropical Freeze has great level design, great exclusive music for every single stage that are amazing on their own along with remixes that stand next to the originals, and that's your opinion on art style Tropical Freeze looks fucking gorgous unless your gonna be a piece of shit and judge the game on the fucking overworld map
Best version of Lockjaw saga right here

Everything on the Wii U was a financial flop. Nobody owns one. I wish I had one, I want Mario Maker, Tropical Freeze, 3D World, NSMBU + NSLU, Bayonetta, Tekken Tag 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3. I have a cousin who has the Wii U and I got to try it. It's actually the reason I gave Smash 4 a chance on 3DS. The Gamepad is really really neat. I wish it were possible to do something like that with PC games. I have a Note 5 and Moga Pro Power and tried Kainy, but it's a pain in the fucking ass to set up and laggy as hell. There's like no lag with the gamepad, it's amazing.
But I don't have the money to go full idort. I got more than enough shit on PC, that's priority numero uno, and I'm more than happy with my 3DS. I upgraded to the New XL for Christmas, and I've got Super Street Fighter IV, Super Smash Bros, Kid Icarus Uprising, Shovel Knight, Resident Evil Revelations and Mercenaries, and Pokemon Art Academy, and I'm looking forward to getting Xenoblade, Shinobi, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and 3D Land.I'm really fucking shit at drawing and I become easily discouraged. I used to doodle artwork from Pokemon cards back in school, so Pokemon Art Academy seemed right up my alley. It's really fucking relaxing and encouraging even if I haven't gained all that much from it. I didn't expect to become a better artist, but it does help and it's still my favorite thing to 'play' on 3DS a year later. I thought it was really neat how they use artwork from the cards as inspiration and your drawings become Pokemon cards. Guess I wasn't the only one who really enjoyed that artwork.
>>322569030
>Everything on the Wii U was a financial flop.
Yeah, no.
>>322568938
Goes to show how much effort Nintendo are putting in their games currently. Seriously, they could try, but they won't.
>>322569030
>Everything on the Wii U was a financial flop
You would really have to stretch the meaning of "flop" for this to be accurate. Games on it would've performed better with better console sales, obviously, but that doesn't make them failures outright.
>>322568938
>>>Low Budget
Just because NSMB rehashes fucking everything doesnt mean everything does too
Retro kicked their fucking asses to make sure Tropical Freeze was fucking perfectI like to think that it's Metroid fags who are shit posting
>>322569462
Speaking of effort, you should try putting in some.
>>322569462
>>322568938
>Low budget
>>>>>This is what Metroid Prime fags actually believe
>>322569597
Just because a game is fantastic doesnt mean it was a huge budget.
DKCTF most likely didnt have a budget as large as Zelda or 3D World
but also not as small as NSMBU or Kirby
>>322569702
Please dont falseflag
>>322566823
>generic style
No. If you want generic style, look at New Super Mario bros. Everything looks like plastic and every level uses the same songs and backgrounds and lazy 2D terrain literally made on their in-house level creator.
DKC:TF is fucking fantastic looking. Every level is fully 3D with unique songs and assets, the whole game is about 20gb
>>322569617
What do you mean?You don't seriously think Nintendo are trying their hardest right now, do you?DO YOU!?
>>322569501
Wii U has sold worse than PS4 and even Xbox One, and all those have going for them is Bloodborne and Halo.
i was $60 at release and dropped to $30 in a month.. i would say so and rightfully so it's DKCR 1.5
>>322569462
Better 500,000 well spent than 40,000,000 with bugs & glitches on multiple platforms.
>>322569930
So? Wii U was a failure, but games on it can still do well for themselves, especially when there's a higher attach rate compared to the competitors.
>>322569924
>Got people bitching at me for claiming DKC is isnt a high budget game
>Also got people claiming nintendo is trying too hard with DKC
wow, you guys really are fucking autistic.
>>322570117
i never even fucking said DKC sold 500,000 units, it probabably did do a million holy shit this thread is amazingly awful from every side on the decagon
>>322569986
Don't let the dong sucklers hear you say that. They get uppity when you point out their games are just NSMB with apes.
>>322570201
So, everyone with a Neo Geo Pocket Color owned a copy of Match of the Millennium, it was the system's Tetris. But how many people in the USA had even heard of the fucking thing before it bombed so hard they started bundling four cartridges together in budget-priced blister packs?
>>322570392
But those screenshots look way better than NSMB
NSMB is lazy 2D rehash garbage where every level looks and plays and sounds the same
DKC TF has unique features on nearly every level, unique songs on every level, and no reused 2D tiles, instead fully 3D designs
>>322569462
>Seriously, they could try, but they won't.
Stop making me mad anon or i'll punch a fucking wall
Your a fuckface who can't appreciate effort when it appears, especially on the fucking topic of Tropical Freeze which clearly has a lot of love made into it
>>322570271
Yeah, anon, examples. Calm down.
>>322569829
It doesnt have to be huge budget for people to clearly see it was made a lot of fucking effort
Honestly it's not even you, it's this fucker that's making me pissed >>322569462
>>322570527
I'm not sure what point you're even trying to make anymore. Games like Splatoon or Mario Maker can't logically be called flops when they performed as well as they did. Hell I figure the moment something turns it profit it can't be a flop anymore.
>>322569986
TF was never 60. I bought it the day it came out
>>322570392
>NSMB with apes
>>>>Any 2D platformer with 3D Models is automatically NSMB
>>322567965
but returns has better level design than tropical freeze and the art style is the same
>>322571004
NSMB doesn't even bother to use 3D models
Many of the enemies are sprites and this can be seen when you encounter a giant form of them very easily
Not to mention every level is just copy paste 2D sections that looks the exact same
>>322570892
I don't think I know what your point is, either. By that logic I guess Teleroboxer was a riveting success since nearly the entire Virtual Boy userbase had a copy.
>>322571136
>Better level design
>HEY REMEMBER MINECARTS? LETS HAVE 30 MILLIONS LEVELS WITH THEM
>>322571136
Returns has terrible level design
All of /v/ needs to play that fucking game just understand what artificial difficulty really is
>>322570880
Nigga, I wasn't only referring to Tropic Dong. I was just saying that if Nintendo are these "EXTREME KABILLIONAIRES WHO WILL NEVER EVER FOR EVER GO BANKRUPT EVER", then they would at least give all of their games a bigger budget. I didn't play Dong Tropics, but I can speak for other games like Yoshi's Island: Yarn Edition and a shameless nostalgia pandering squeakquel to A Link to the Past.
>>322571426
My point is that if something was a success and made a decent profit it's not a flop. I figured that was pretty obvious.
I doubt Teleroboxer or any of the VB games made Nintendo any money.
>>322571874
Dong Freeze was made by Retro, not Nintendo.
Can't include it with Nintendo's cheap games they've been releasing recently
>>322566475
I miss King K. Rool and the Kremlings.
>>322572059
Doesn't Nintendoo provide Retro with the budget?
>>322572192
Nintendo straight up owns Retro. For all intents and purposes, Retro is just a part of Nintendo.
>>322566475
HAHAHA SALES NUMBERS! GET IT!?
>>322572192
Retro is second party, but they don't follow the same type of cheap, barebones rehash game design Nintendo's teams have been doing lately
>>322572413
What money does Retro use? Their own? How do they get that?
>We have a thread about a great game
>Immediately devolves into false flagging and obvious shitposting
Fuck this, post your favorite songs from Tropical Freeze

>>322566823
And let's remove some of the most lovable enemies and villain in gaming!
>>322573164
I miss them so much
>>322572845
Nintendo funds them, I just mean their relationship goes beyond merely funding.
>>322572805
Not even, Retro is completely first party. They're in the same boat as the Xenoblade devs, basically.
>>322573037
where's trunk twister
>People kept saying this game was hard
I loved the fuck out of it, but I didn't find any part of it particularly challenging except for half the hidden temple levels andall of World 7
Also, any chase scenario you run into felt very slow. Even in the Rambi section on World 3, you could go most of the time at walking pace and make it out just fine.
>>322571836
What part of it is artificial difficulty?
>>322573164
K. Rool autists are the worst
>>322574601
It's not really hard, but you die far more than you should if that makes any sense?
Almost all the deaths are sudden, blind, "oops you stood still for too long the STAGE EXPLODED ON YOU" bullshit that wore out its welcome in DKR, but the game hands you lives and one ups like they're going out of fashion, so you usually gain back three times what you might lose in a given spot?
>>322575379
Nintendo asskissers are the worst
>>322573164
Pirate Kremlings were GOAT.
The rest can go home straight away.
I'm just happy they got rid of the generic crocodile enemies.
>>322575407
This post put what I was thinking into words perfectly.
>opps you stood still for too long
This, every fucking time. In some levels there's such a big change in what you have to do from one section to another, that it takes your brain a while to adjust and you die because you didn't go quick enough.
And, yes, the net loss of lives in any given level is never that large.
I had a blast playing through this with my brother, but that just made it even more difficult for us.
The music was so fucking good too
>>322573164
ITS NOT FAIR
>>322575379
>>322575806
BTFO EL OH EL
>>322566475
It sold like shit and is universally hated by the internet because of no K rool. Want proof? Even the DK barrel racing game for the Wii is more universally liked, and for good reason too.
