It was that simple.

Why does Miyamoto hate Rare?
I thought Rare made good stuff in the 90s

Disney of Japan, except more things like girlboss Peach and Wokey Kong in the future

>>737115671
By using a historically accurate design? Do you get mad that the Louve displays the Mona Lisa and not a picture off of Instagram?

>>737115789
that's the reason
he got mindbroken

>updating a render is censoring history

>>737115671
Miyamoto is still salty that some british guys saved the SNES instead of his Yoshi's Island.

>updated DK's promo model instantly
>the rest of the Mario cast are still using Switch era models in official art despite MKW showing everyone getting design refreshes, not just DK
I wonder if they're just waiting for the next mainline Mario game to update everyone else's promo models. DK's game was just around the corner from MKW so it makes sense that he'd get priority in this regard. also I like DK's in-game MKW model more than his Bananza/new promo model, because MKW leans a bit more into his old 2D art for his expressions

>>737115671
Nintendo is full of people who are so dead set on maintaining the status quo that when they eventually decide to change something, they abandon what they had before just so they can pretend the status quo never changed at all.

>>737115967
Yoshi's Island is a far better game than DKC though, and the latter was the first game I ever played.

Didn't read lol

cuz you can't read lol

What did DK do to deserve this humiliation ritual? It's so pernicious. It really feels like somebody in the company actively despises DK.

Donkey Kong stopped being cool as soon as the DK Rap was heard for the first time in the 90s. Nintendo did not kill Donkey Kong. Rareware did so themselves.

>>737115789
Battletoads is the only good Rare game

>>737116053

DK’s new design is way more noticeable than the subtle changes everyone else got.

>>737116173
The devs clearly love DK, including Rareware era shit. It's really just Miyamoto (and suckups like Tanabe) who holds a grudge.

>>737115789
He hates the anglo-saxon

>>737115789
Bananza is a huge love letter to Rare era DKC, and people still say bullshit like this.

>is literally an amalgamation of older designs
I love the new design, I'd say that the only real issues are that they haven't done enough testing on setting his poses/expressions, sometimes he looks absolutely perfect, sometimes he looks off, but he's far more balanced than the old design that just looks kind of confused or like he's trying to do 2 expressions at once, and has far less space for expression while also having a much worse neutral expression.
The new design is also more in line with how Nintendo have been drawing him in 2d since the 00s, and the original DK design while still keeping elements from the Rare design.

I really hope that doesn't mean everyone else's refreshes were one-offs for MKW, becuase I do like what they did for a lot of characters there.

>>737115789
He doesn't and never has, this was debunked ages ago and I don't know why people are still parroting this

>>737115671
Haha yes they're totally erasing history even though his new design still contains aspects from the Rare design and also the fact that his new game that said design was for is a literal love letter to all of DK's prior history, whether that'd be the arcade era, the Rare games, and (to a smaller extent) Jungle Beat and the Retro games.

>>737116053
Are those designs the new main designs or are they for Mario Kart World itself? Odyssey pushed Mario with detailed hair but that design didn't make it into other games, but then the warm shading for skin has become the standard for all Mario games.

>>737116604
It'd be a shame if they're one-offs, because beyond specifically addressing shit I've wanted to see, it's also just nice on a more general level to have a stylistic adjustment after so long that correlates to proportions and expressiveness. But we're kind of in limbo on the truth of the matter, since MKW was originally being made for Switch 1, and Tennis Fever (the only other new non-DK Mario game) is an asset flip of Tennis Aces. That's all we have to go off of for now because Nintendo is now apparently allergic to revealing new games.

>>737115671
times change gramps, it can't be 1994 forever

>>737117118
All the assets were touched up heavily from Aces, new geometry, textures and materials, it wouldn't be hard to alter characters proportions while reusing the same animations, but it wouldn't be trivial either, I think the new designs for Mario Kart World are one offs because Mario Kart hasn't traditionally determined the new art direction, it's traditionally been the core games.

>he says as they literally make DK's design a callback to 1994

>>737117659
So are they erasing history or bringing it back?

>>737117781
They're erasing the history of progress.

I really, don't like donkey kongs models.
The old one just looks bad
And the new one makes these wacky faces.

jesus it really is just the retarded eyes

>>737116402
King Boo and Daisy were nice.
King Boo from Luigis Mansion is my favorite, but I treat it as different entity than the one in the regular Mario games.
>>737116230
The DK Rap was fun and DK was cool in that game.

His expression on the new giftcard is perfect for the ninten-cuck, they really know their audience

>>737115671
Why are you so stuck in the past? did you cry like a bitch the last time they changed the Trix rabbit, you fruity faggot?

>>737121484
The constant ahegao expression doesn't help.

>>737115671
Nintendo views its latest products as its greatest, with the older games at best being relegated to odd little curios that a niche audience might care for.

>>737115789
He wanted to fap to Krystal so he absorbed Dinosaur Planet into Star Fox.

>>737115789
He doesn't hate Rare. He just knows Rare Donkey Kong was always subpar compared to Mario and that it was heavily carried by the early CG style and killer music.

>>737115671
Kongfags deserve this

>making a game that looks slightly different after 20 years is now “erasing history”
Is Nintendo erasing history by not using Mario’s SM64 design on promotional material? Retard.
>>737115789
>hate Rare
>Bananza is a love letter to Rare’s DK games
Double retard.
>Miyamoto having any involvement in game development in the last 10 years
Quintuple retard.

Daily Rare was never good

>>737118557
I do, because the DKC trilogy was absolutely brimming with soul, and I love that trilogy, especially DKC2. DK64 was always a soulless Banjo knockoff, and just a bad game overall. Even as a kid I hated that game.

>>737121847
>The DK Rap was fun and DK was cool in that game.
Nah, despite what the DK Rap claims, he is in fact not bigger, not faster, nor stronger in that game.

In DKC2, he finishes K.Rool with a fucking uppercut. Awesome.
In DK64, he has to shoot out of a barrel to even beat phase 1 of K.Rool; Chunky is the one who gets to land the final blow. Lame.

Reminder that FWMC are Canadian born/raised who think they're Japanese because they grew up watching anime. They also said despite looking asian they're not but dont mind when people think they are.

He fucking hates that.

I also like the bananza design. I wished they used his new design at nintendo world so I could get a new dk plushie.

Makes sense to me
