Wii #2386 - Donkey Kong Country Returns (USA)

i wouldn't say the games short at all.
collecting every unlock will take hours.....!
and the 3gb size is because of the graphics....theyre outstanding for a wii game. the amount of background and forground movement and interactivity in this game is fantastic!! ever seen a platoformer like it before? i highly doubt it.

an actual good game on the wii? been playing this since this morning and it's too bad this is only one of the games that you will actually want to play for thew wii.

"Can't say I liked the SNES games, the jerky, ugly claymation-style art stood up badly against its pixel art contemporaries and the gameplay was basic at best.. I'll give this a go anyway."


umm what? you obviously never played the snes version, and as good as this is it's nowhere near what dkc1 was. Claymation lol it's called rendering nothing to do with clay....maybe you meant clay fighter, but next to super metroid dkc had the best visuals on snes.

That's why I said claymation style - the fact they rendered everything, reduced the frames and colour palette and then cut it out with horrible jagged edges gave it the feel of claymation, which in my opinion made it look a muddy mess and one of the ugliest games on the system.

QUOTE(Bladexdsl @ Nov 23 2010, 08:13 AM) i can't understand how this game is 3gb when it's so short?

Since when has the amount of data on a disc directly correlated to the play time of the game?

Hey guys,
I have a strange problem with this game.
The game runs on my Japanese Wii and I set English as default but I can't see any text, just ????
Just level names are correctly displayed in Japanese even if I chose a different language.

First time I see this problem on my Wii with PAL and NTSC games.
I tried to change the language settings of course (Japanese or French) but it doesn't change anything, some japanese texts are still present.
Very strange.
Tried to modify iso file but no language files inside

Great game!
But as an unexperienced Donkey Kong player I cannot even get the 'O' in the first level.
Any hints?

Just finished downloading this game.When I have the chance I'll burn it later.

Anything I need to do on it like is there an update partition on here I need to take out?This is my last disc so I dont want to screw it up.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

One of the best games I played in my life. I can count the number of times I felt so astonished by a game by the fingers of one hand. The Original DKC on the SNES, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess on GC, Oblivion, Mario Galaxy and now This Game... It looks great, plays great, feels so new and nostalgic at the same time. You just can't stop playing it. It's a masterpiece - one of the best games on the Wii and one of the best Nintendo games of all time. Retro guys are geniuses.

Pre-ordered my European copy and I DEMAND everyone does the same

Developers and Nintendo MUST be supported for making this happen.

I Agree!

i can't understand how this game is 3gb when it's so short?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was around 1.3GB if I remember correctly, and that game packed both amazing graphics, an awesome soundtrack, and quite a chunk of playtime.

As suspected i am having trouble running this.

I have a hard modded PAL wii (wiikey) which is on the most upto date firmware and has no homebrew channel, any suggestions on how i can get it running

1. Update your Wiikey to latest patch (www.wiikey.cn)
2. a) wait for PAL (Euro release) around 2 December OR b) Softmod your Wii.

Minecart level rocks... makes the other levels seem a bit boring.

How do you switch between Diddy & DK?

 

[mariosonic]

Just started.Pretty good so far.

 

[CarbonX13]

How do you switch between Diddy & DK?

You can only play as Diddy Kong in 2 Player mode (second player is Diddy). If you really want to, go to 2 player mode, and kill Donkey Kong to play as Diddy only.

On a DVD -R on Disc channel,the game has serious music looping.Like every few seconds a part of a song freezes and loops over for a few times.And some parts take forever to load.Other than that,it works pretty good.

which loader or modchip?

maybe u should reburn it and after burning let the software check the disc.

4.0 (or was it 4.1?) was the last update that region free wiikey worked. Your options:
1. Softmod, then downgrade (risky)
2. Softmod, then use geko (ugly)
3. Only play PAL games from now on

Using DarkCorp.Softmod.

And this was my last disc so I cant re burn it. Was going to put it on my SD card but my SD is only 2 gigs.

Anyone else getting Disc read errors when trying to play the game? I tried Gecko and neogamma (hardmodded Wii) and it starts but when i try to access menu/map screen the game says it cant read the disc.

Unless you have anything that needs to be updated,then my only guess is the disc is messed up.

 

[Bladexdsl]

what's next?
