I loved Diddy Kong Racing way back. It was pretty difficult to get all the tracks with highest medals. Seems like it would be better released on the VC as an N64 title than on the DS.

The Wii needs some soccer/futbol/football!!! Where's the love?

I'm kinda tempted to get Diddy Kong Racing. I remember both loving it and hating it for a number of reasons. Apparently the wi-fi is pretty well done in this version.

Boktai DS...er..."Lunar Knights" is finally out? Seems like that took a kinda long time. I refuse to accept the name changes and will be putting in Django and Sabata as their names if possible.

So what's the final verdict on Diddy Kong Racing DS? Is it the same game as the original, or did they mess it up somehow with "improvements"? I'd love to just buy the original one somehow on VC or Xbox Live.

From the look of that track, and I played this a whole lot, it looks the same minus some of the textures actually having...texture. Maybe it's the video. But, that track looked exactly the same.

Hell, even the music sounds the same as I remember. It's just I could swear the dinosaur was a little less neon green.

I loved the crazy music for that track in particular. Also, I suspect the comment system is borked.

Diddy Kong racing looks pretty good, but I didn't see Banjo, my favorite character. Heres hoping hes one of the unlockables.

I'm betting not. Banjo went with Rare when they split from Nintendo. A shame too, Banjo and Kazooie and Banjo Tooie would be VC games I would put the money down for.

@ CannibalCalvin:

Banjo and Conker have both been taken out, but they've added Dixie Kong, Tiny Kong, Wizpig, and Taj the Genie to the playable racers.

Super Mario World is the best game on that list? Did you happen to miss Final Fantasy VI Advance?
twesterm's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/05/2007 22:02

How can you say the best game on that list is Super Mario Workd when FFVI is on the list!?

As for the video, it doesn't do the game justice, they should have went with something more like this:

And just for fun, my favorite scene from the game:
*SPOILERS*
Solitary Island Scene: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZHmt7Yxh4E0
*SPOILERS*

Don't even think about cliking that if you're even considering playing the game (though it is in Japanese and would probaby just confuse you...).

And I completely forgot about this video for the PS version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=k1L8Y9zYwuw&mode=related&search=

It really couldn't be more awesome.

And sorry for the insane amount of posts, but this really is my favorite game ever and couldn't really be more excited to play it again tomorrow.

Does anybody know if Lunar Knights will have any co-op mode to it?

Wow, three versions of Buster Bros take up 3 of the 5 puzzle games in Capcom's puzzle collection. The only worthwhile part of that is puzzle fighter. I smell a rip off!

Lunar Knights looks decent. Hope it has some WiFi support to sweeten the deal.

I am interested in that Lunar Knights though...

Remember how Conker was in Diddy Kong Racing compared to the actual Conker game? I'M CONKA! :D (And then later...he gets drunk in the opening scene of his own game.)

I don't think it's quite fair to say everything is a rehash. Lunar knights and ar tonelico look pretty interesting to me.
I'll pass on DKR. It was a semidecent mario kart clone a decade ago, I doubt it's aged too well.
