I did talk to someone who hated the game based on the fact it made DK look like an idiot. Well, they did, but it's......

I still need to get me Jungle Beat. I'm a cheap bastard, though.

Yeah, except Donkey Kong didn't have a permanent temper tantrum and wasn't going around beating up other animals for no distinct reason in DK64. At least that had a plot. "Become the king of kings!" is not at all what I expected when I picked up JB.

Jungle Beat is awesome, every time I get home stressed I play a few levels of that, and It played more like a DKC game than DK64 (which i also like). I only wish it had more variety in the boss battles, since they are incredible.

He has a reason in Jungle Beat. He's a freaking gorilla! It's all about territory. Besides, I don't think there's a single animal in JB that wasn't clearly up to something bad. Gnawty was an innocent bystander compared to all of JB's enemies. |

Flagship are excellent. I shall hear no bad words said about them. Minish Cap is more polished than a lot of Zelda games, and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is possibly my favourite 2D Kirby game (haven't played Squeak Squad yet, so can't comment). I haven't played K&tAM, I really should go pick it up...especially now that it's like ten dollars used. Squeak Squad was alright--a lot of the powers have been expanded on from before (Kirby now uses the Sword power like Meta Knight does in the SSBB trailers), but it's very easy. I managed to get 100% completion on it in three days. I place SFAs in the middle-ground of Star Fox games: better than Adventures and SF1 but worse than SF64 and SFC. Still, for a third-party handling a first-party franchise, Assault was really well-done. I don't mind the on-foot and Tank missions so much; my only gripe is that it wasn't really that long and unlocking good things for multiplayer is a chore :) Mario Baseball's most outstanding trait is the character roster. I mean--Goomba, Paragoomba, Dry Bones, Magikoopa and Hammer/Boomerang/Fire Bros. make their first playable appearances and they've all been with the franchise since SMB 1 or 3 (or was Magikoopa YI?). However it's difficult to unlock everything, and getting each character to Superstar status depends a lot on luck of the draw--having your character situated in the right place on the field at the right time while a person on the opposing team does just the right move you need to counter (I'm looking at you, Waluigi's Laser Throw and Diddy Kong's Wall Jump Catch). Even with an Action Replay it's difficult, and I've since grown disgusted with the game and have given it to my brother. |

Magikoopa was SMW, i think. But I could be wrong.

Gnawty was an innocent bystander compared to all of JB's enemies. You clearly don't know much about apes, do you? They don't just go beat up other apes for fun, they only fight when they are bothered. The kingdoms in JB didn't belong to DK, yet he went and took them anyway, jumping around like a maniac all the way, which is something else that gorillas don't do unless pestered. Also, Gnawty was one of K.Rool's minions. His motives are clearly evil, with the banana heist and the trying to take over Kong Island and stuff. The kings from JB weren't doing anything besides guarding their homelands. How is that a bad thing? |

He didn't say that - he said it was about territory, which gorillas do fight for. Territory has nothing to do with fun. Where did you get "fun" from? STOP TALKING ABOUT FUN!! ;D DK clearly owns the whole jungle. Besides, we're apes and we fight for fun. You over-generalised yourself into a corner this time  |

I saw Jungle Beat for $68 today with Bongos. I was tempted, but I'd already ordered Diddy Kong Racing DS and I'm attempting to save up for a 360 which may become a Wii if I still haven't bought the 360 by April and Nintendo dangles that damn Super Paper Mario in front of my face.
What was my point? I don't know, something about monkeys and bongos.

It didn't make DK anything he wasn't... let's not forget, he started off as a villain. And more recently Mario had to fight him because, when he couldn't get a toy he wanted, he went nuts and stormed the factory. And the only reason he ever fought the Kremlings was because they stole his bananas. He ain't no genius, and he ain't no hero. He's a big, simple-minded, selfish gorilla. And that's why he's cool. ;D |

Rob-bert, I want to know what you think Donkey Kong IS - seeing as what you think he ISN'T is what the games are portraying.
Sounds like a tenuous kind of argument - one based on an imaginary DK, perhaps even the DK they imagined up over at the DK Jungle Vine website.
