I've heard nothing but praise for that game, I'm surprised you have so many issues with it.1. The Controls
2. The Camera
3. The whole game world
The Game was never really good, even 1999 when it was released. It's DK in a Banjo-Kazooie-Style-Gameplay with horrible controls and a really bad camera movement. In this VC-Release for WiiU they didn't improve any of these issues. Controlling the game with the WiiU Gamepad or the Classic Controller is even worse than using the original N64 Pad.
The whole game world looks boring, and it's a pain to move in it. To temporize the game lenght, they decided to place items in 5 different colors, and only a certain monkey can pick up a certain color, so you have to permanently switch the monkeys. The controls are clumsy, slow and they are lagging. Example: To use your gun in first person mode, you have to hold down "L", press the right stick to the left and then up.
The camera is so often in front of you, that it is impossible to evade enemies, especially in tunnels or narrow places.
It's one of Rares worst games. Only a die-hard DK fan can enjoy this.
To be fair, often when an old game is being praised, it's just nostalgia talking.I've heard nothing but praise for that game, I'm surprised you have so many issues with it.

Yep. Many games from the past can't pass the test of time. Especially early 3D games. Many 2D games from the 80s/90s are still a pleasure, but Donkey Kong 64 is a perfect counterexample. Graphics, Controls and the camera are unbearable today.Not too long ago I bought a copy of Re-Volt to play on my Dreamcast and I was so excited to play it again.. Just to realise that the game isn't actually very good any more. Dead or Alive PS1 is the same thing
yep. I never liked it as a kid. Was such an ugly game to play, no matter how hard I tried to like it. Never understood the appeal back then, or now. Super slow paced, felt like it was just running slow all the time. Needed the expansion pack and bs like that. Even multi-Player was horrible. Some minigames were ok, but not worth the game.To be fair, often when an old game is being praised, it's just nostalgia talking.

I wonder if it's the censored one where they say heck instead of hell lolYou aren't supposed to play the game. The $10 is for the DK rap.
I think the only game to do that was Smash Bros Melee, cause it had that crappy remix.I wonder if it's the censored one where they say heck instead of hell lol
