Is it pronounced "hashtag feh", "hashtag fee" "hashtag eff e"?

...actually the game looks so modern and entertainment seems to be a theme of it, so "#fe" could be a legitimate name...

Nah, Nintendo owns 'em, they just aren't interested in bringing them back for whatever reason. They ditched the Tikis after one game, too.

I'm glad they got rid of the Kremlings to be honest, because A) The Snowmads are better and B) it forced them to utilize the jungle setting more and it causes the enemies to be more DK vs the jungle. I love that there's a stage set in a cave of bats, or a bunch of moles or the forest where the spiders chase you.

Honestly I like that they've given a bunch of villains trying to take over DK Island.

If I remember right, Retro dropped the Kremlings because they didn't want to just make another Rare Donkey Kong, they wanted to make it their own.

Of course they nailed it, and then Tropical Freeze happened wherein they nailed it even harder, so I guess it was the right move to make.

Is the 3DS version of DKCR any good? Wasn't a fan of the Wii Waggle involved.

It's not the best looking game and there's some somewhat rare framerate issues but overall I enjoyed DKCR3D a lot, minus the awful boss fights.

It's awesome. It doesn't look as good as it did on the Wii but on the other hand, the 3D looks fantastic so I'm okay with that.

The framerate dipped for me in like... 2 places the entire game, and it was in very specific places so I never found that to be a huge deal either

Rare tried to work the Goldeneye rights and supposedly the roadblock was Nintendo.

After hearing about the increased frame rates and resolution for SM64 and DK64, now I've irrationally begun to hope the reason was they were planning this all along and wanted to wait till it could run smoothly and not be disappointing to revisit.

The 3DS version fixes the waggle by not including it. DKCR3D is good.

Isn't that basically what they've been saying? Nintendo doesn't like half-assing emulation.

Yeah, but up till now all the VC games have been pretty much unaltered, unenhanced straight up copies, frame rate problems and all. What I wouldnt do for a high-res Mario Kart 64 4-player at 60 fps with music playing.

Up til now they haven't had the hardware grunt necessary to do anything fancy with emulation. I wouldn't be surprised if the framerate is a bug to be corrected though. Or at least changed to a toggle setting.

You missed the new Fire Emblem having a split storyline - with the storylines being separated as different versions with the other one being DLC.

It's really one of the least impressive things shown compared to the two fire emblem things and the crossover. Like it's in the running with Wooly World on which one will hit the 10 dollar bargain bin first.

Is there any reason to believe that? Rare might be utterly useless to Microsoft, but I get the impression that they wouldn't ditch Rare just to prevent Rare's IPs from falling into the hands of one of their competitors. Better for Microsoft to have Battletoads, Conker, Banjo, and the others dead and buried with the occasional Microsoft cameo (like Spark for Conker and Shovel Knight for the Battletoads) than for there to be active revivals of those franchises on someone else's console.
