I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

The Switch doesn't have the Expansion Pak, it's clearly not powerful enough to run DK64

E: But also it's probably because of stuff like the Rareware Coin and the two old Rare games in it that they technically wouldn't have the rights to anymore, but I think Microsoft would be pretty open for it considering they put out Goldeneye on the service

The Rare and Nintendo coins are fuckers to get. But most of the rest of the game is honestly fine. Beaver Bother 2 is notoriously hosed but the first one wasn't too hard, I'm sure there's a trick to it.

Having to beat the original Donkey Kong arcade game not once but twice in order to get the Nintendo Coin in DK64 is the worst thing in any Nintendo game

It's also potentially stuck in Rare/Microsoft licensing purgatory, so you may not see it on Switch.

Rare Replay ft DK64 & Diddy Kong Racing seems like a slamdunk win for MS to make some money

I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY
The fortnite dataminer I follow for videos on what they find in the latest fortnite updates put out a video saying they want to bring more content to their YouTube channel so they will stretch out what they found in the latest update. He used to put out a video the same day showing all the easy to find changes then another video later in the week with harder to find files or small changes.

So far he has put out 2 videos with no datamine information. :negative:

Also tough collecting and needing a big coin...hmmm. I may play it considering so many have said I should.

I do have it on my WiiU I think - or at least I can get it if needs be. :hai:

I am at least thinking about it. Not before Banjo-Tooie though.

It came out before Banjo-Tooie if that makes any difference? The Rare N64 platformers in release order go Banjo-Kazooie - Donkey Kong 64 - Banjo-Tooie - Conker’s Bad Fur Day. I mean I don’t mind either way but I dunno if you would prefer to do it in that order or not

As long as you agree to play Twilight Princess and Okami back to back (either order) so you can compare them

idk if you're interested in 100% but if you do play dk64, there's a bug on the water level (gloomy galleon) that makes it much harder to get a specific banana after getting a specific ability. it's the one that involves shooting a robot fish's heart if you wait until you have the sniper scope

Oh yeah I have a lot to play before I hit DK64. It was not on my list before, but is now. Same with Banjo-Tooie. I added that as well. Okami and Twilight Princess and the FFs and a few others I wish to see first :)

Unless Veeg is super into the 64 warts and all, I wouldn't recommend DK64.

It represents all of the worst aspects of a collect-a-thon from that era, with waaaaay too many things to collect to beat the game.

Like... it's an experience, but yall better be prepared for what that experience represents.

hey now you might need two coins requiring some skill at retro games but you also only need half the golden bananas, vs banjo tooie where you need 70 out of 90 and have to really jump through hoops for some of them
