DKCR looks so awesome

[A Black Falcon]

So evidently only player 2 can only play as Diddy, P1 is Donkey only. And yeah the Super Guide is back from NSMBWii. Still though, it looks like a pretty amazing game... it's supposedly more challenging than NSMBWii, too. We'll see how it compares in difficulty to the original DKC and DKL games, though. They definitely were a challenge at times.

ALso, you're absolutley right that the DKC games are amazing. The third one's my favorite actually, the second second, and the first is the last of the three. All three are outstanding, but I like the improvements DLC2 and then 3 each made to the previous title. 3 has the most varied, original level design ideas, with lots of unique challenges such as the lightning stage, the stage where you're chased by a giant saw, etc, etc. DKC1's levels are quite straightforward. It's a simple game in retrospect, compared to the sequels, and while great isn't quite as good. DKC2 was a big improvement, but I think 3 was as well -- even more awesome levels than 2 (which had quite a few as well), better character balance with the big/small dynamic of the original game coming back, and more. It's got the best world map by far too, and more collecting than before. And an improved save system, because you can return to the world map from any area map at any time to save, instead of having to play through the area all the way to the Funky or save areas before the game would finally let you save, as was true in the first two games on SNES; that led to some very challenging parts, where you'd have to beat three or four hard stages sometimes with no continues. DKC3 gets rid of that. It's still a challenging game though, thanks to the many tough levels. But all three DKC games are just brilliant, and the three DKL games are pretty good as well -- I got both DKL2 and GBC DKC recently, and both are great, though there definitely is something to be said for the graphical beauty of the original SNES versions. Still the GB and GBC ones look about as good as is possible on the hardware. It's a great series, and it's pretty awesome to see it sort of return (return but from a new team, that is), and in a form that looks really good too...

And of course, all three games look amazing, among the best on the system. On that I don't know if DKCR has some of the best graphics on the Wii, but it's certainly a very nice looking game, no question about that. :)
