I for one welcome the return of our 2D simian platforming overlords.
It's been a long time since DKC2. Sorry, but DKC3 just didn't do it for me at all and DK64 took collectathon to a level of insanity no person should be subjected to.

@teriyakiCHICKEN - This is hard in that the enemies are more complex than "jump on them to win!" and the actual platforming itself is heavily based on the timing of precise button presses.
Basically, it's hard for all of the same reasons that the SNES games were challenging.

@Jordan, that's pretty awesome then, now my only thing is the music. I hope it's not all rehashed. It should have that DKC vibe, but it shouldn't be lifted right out of the originals.
This game needs:
-Classic controller support.
-The ability to switch between Diddy and Donkey Kong at will in the single player.
Then it can be great rather than just good.

Why the hell are you whiners always going on about Kremlings? Why does every game have to have the same villains? Donkey Kong Country never exactly had inspired villains or enemies anyway. They were all much more generic than Mario's Goombas, so it's not like taking the Goomba out of Mario. It's just one little thing that I've heard far too much whining about. Is the game fun? Good, that's all that matters and the rest requires a big ole pile of shut the **** up.
Yeah, I 100% agree with you. Who really cares if there are Kremlings or not? They weren't exactly compelling villains. They were crocodiles/alligators under a different name. Oh big deal.
Hey quick question: does anyone know whether or not you can do solo between Diddy and Donkey Kong? And on that regard, is it going to be like the old ones where you can switch between the two Kongs? Other than that, this game and Kirby's Epic Yarn insure that my Wii is going to get some play time this holiday.

I don't see one post above yours even talking about the kremlings?
So just exactly who/where are all these "whiners"????????

Am I the only one who doesn't like the look of this game? I think it would look a thousand times better with 2D sprites.
Awesome! After the Metroid Prime series, I have a lot of confidence in Retro Studios as a game developer, so it's nice to see them living up to my expectations.
The only thing that would make me even more excited at this point would be if they announced Dave Wise was composing the soundtrack again.

When I first heard Stickerbrush Symphony a few years back, I started playing DKC2 for the first time just to hear it in-game.

Yes. This game is perhaps the only nintendo game this gen that actually reminds me why I love nintendo games.
"being able to jump between the foreground and background,"
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Has this goddam game mechanic EVER WORKED?

It's me! The one person that likes DKC 3 the best of all Country games.

@ idrawrobots:
DKC 3 was okay, but it just felt off to me.
In regards to lack of Kremlings, in some recent interviews, Rare had stated that they were actually supposed to be part of a different game in the pipeline, but ended up using them for DKC. Whether or not they control that portion of characters I don't know.
I think this game will do fine, has everything good going for it, especially with RETRO understanding what made the games good in the first place.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSS!!
Also, I am pretty sure the Kremlins are property of Nintendo, not Rare.

But how does it compare the exquisite Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat? It is, after all, the secret best Donkey Kong game in a loooooooooooooooong time.
I'm definitely pumped for this, but I wish it was more DKC2 than the first game. I can't stand the way DK controls.
Do we know if there's Classic Controller support yet, or is it a no? From what I saw of a demo the waggling looked excessive. They seemed to be doing that ridiculous Wii air-drumming constantly throughout the level. Looked pretty annoying and tiresome. How was that aspect of it? New Super Mario Bros. Wii had some tacked on motion control bits, but they were actually very subtle and infrequent and not nearly as irritating and intrusive as I feared. I hope this will be similar.

YEA!... I'm gonna buy this and goldeneye special edition for the Golden Classic Pro...

O god. Please let this be classic controller compatible!
Also whoa at the guy kremling raging. Eat a banana dude.

What I really want to know is whether the game has the same punny names and lines. The humour is one of the biggest drawcards for me in the series, so I might not even pick it up if it doesn't follow suit. (Also the kremlings were kool for this very reason).
RETRO!
Please come save the destroyed metroid series!

Through Wiki reference link interview with IGN at E3'10: Retro: "Just an interesting note, the same composer that did all the Metroid Prime stuff is working with Nintendo's composer on the NCL side, Mr. Yamamoto." I'm not sure what NCL side means, but it seems promising that the music will be memorable and provide that DKC atmospheric feeling. Reading the interview will at least make you feel a little more at ease without Wise on the case. A little = hope
But it's all good. I will still play the $#*+ out of this when I get my hands on it.
