The real reason you shouldn't use the word "human being" is because it's starts a series of arguments and poo poo jokes that have been played out a thousand times across SA.

Let's leave all this fag stuff for trash talk on Xbox Live servers.

In all seriousness, go watch the F word episode of South Park; it says all that can be said on the subject:

Back to Wii U stuff. Donkey Kong 64 is out on virtual console. I love that game and I love the DK Rap. I bought it and watched the DK Rap and I am better for having done so. I was afraid they'd censor it to "heck" but they didn't and kept the original use of the word "hell."

No idea about two player but Tropical Freeze is a great game, it's hard as balls though.

You can get it now from someone selling their Platinum reward. It usually floats around $20, but people on Reddit get desperate and sometimes go to prices like $15.

If you clear all 6 K-levels during the main game, you unlock a secret world with three more bonus levels. Overall less levels than Returns, but higher quality ones imo.

It's actually slightly easier than the first game, but that's mostly due to quality of life improvements like more checkpoints, more gameplay options, and no reliance on waggle. I think they strike a better balance in every conceivable way in Tropical Freeze, whereas the first game had parts that were just kind of annoyingly difficult for the wrong reasons.

Are there any more levels where you have to bounce across enemies to finish it. That bonus level in the first was impossible if you were playing two player.

This will end in one of the following ways:

B: I'll skip this level in two player and do it myself
C: Force boyfriend to do all of it.

If it doesn't threaten to end in the death of a loved one, or at least the relationship, it's not proper Nintendo multiplayer :allears:.

Gonna be the sole positive opinion here, game's got good music and is fun, a bit long but its an N64 Collect-a-Thon.

Also read the manual for the game, even the manual knows the game's got issues.

But hey, since NES games are $5 and you get the actually good Arcade Donkey Kong included think of it as paying $5 for an N64 game and $5 for an Arcade game.

Golden Goat posted:

It's what I consider "peak collectathon 3D platformer." That is to say, there is way too much poo poo to collect. Even back when it was new I thought it was ridiculous how much stuff you had to collect, and how you had to cycle between different characters in order to collect more crap from the same stage. It really did feel like a chore at times.

That being said, I liked it better than Banjo-Tooie, the other example of "peak collectathon" whose biggest fault was that they gave you a billion moves and abilities, most of which weren't practical and were only used to grab one Jiggy or something a lot of the time.

I'd say Banjo-Tooie is far and away better than Donkey Kong 64, if only for not having to swap between Kongs repeatedly just to get five different sets of bananas for every level.

At that point it's just subjective which bloated collectathon platformer we like.

I still think the original Banjo-Kazooie was the best game in that genre anyway.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on Rare lately and it's crazy to think that Conker started development before Banjo but wasn't released until the N64 was pretty much dead. I get the whole Twelve Tales > Bad Fur Day thing but seriously, why the hell did it take so long to make?

Agreed, but I still personally like Tooie over Kazooie. Even if B-K's probably the better laid-out game of the two.

It was originally called Conker, but they couldn't figure out how to make his hair look right, so they just ended up giving up and calling it Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Can we agree that near the tail end of the N64 collectathon days, they were getting bloated?

I thought that was implied :v:. Much as I love Banjo-Tooie it was absolutely bloated as hell, and god help you with trying to get some of those Jiggies without a guide just because you need to step through three different Worlds in-order via well-hidden shortcuts.

Yeah, I liked the collectathon genre before Rare escalated it to those points.
Banjo-Kazooie and Mario 64 are still games I like to bust out every now and then because the collection aspects give you things to hunt down without overdoing it. I never played DK64 but the idea of collecting the same stuff multiple times with different characters sounds like absolute hell compared to those two.
