So what do we all think to this?

I was very surprised to learn this is the game Retro Studios had been working on this as I was hoping for a new Star Fox game. But none the less, I'm surprised in a pleasant way (Esp since Starfox 64 is coming to 3DS anyway).

I love the original DKC games on SNES and this looks like a really good update. Glad they kept it in 2D so it will really shine in the gameplay department! Can never have enough 2D platformers these days.

It looks really good and I hope they keep the original music, love that bassline

[2Dshmuplover]

Yeah it had amazing music! One of my favourite was the underwater tune! True classic.

For the Wii, I assume?

Yeah! I also really liked "Ice Cave Chant" and the excellent "Voices of the Temple"

The Game Over music was good too. I wonder if DKC2 and 3 will be remade too or is this just a remake of 1.
It was really good how the music changed accordlngly and sort of built as you went into the more challenging part of the level.

I'd like to see a Diddy Racing remake if that cant be on VC, that was awesome on N64

Yeah, I think its a Wii exclusive. Hope it comes to the UK soon enough.

[lordOfTime]

I think i'm sensing a Wii usage revival on my part.

Goldeneye Remake
Donkey Kong Country 2D(?)
Mario Galaxy 2
Zelda.

Can't wait.

[grimtales1]

Me too, I havent even played Mario Galaxy 1 or Smash Bros. yet... I think they'll revive my interest in Wii

[grimtales1]

This has to be one of the best N64 games for music:

I dont think its a remake is a new game just with the same concept as the snes classics.

[grimtales1]

Makes me want to play the originals again so I'll get them on VC one day.

[2Dshmuplover]

Yeah as mentioned, it's not a direct remake but more a new DKC using the same concept.

I think we should all go back to the original game and see how we get on. I never completed it, I remember getting stuck on a jump that was so hard to get past I gave up!

I completed it recenty. Well when I say completed I mean ive gone though the levels and beaten the final boss, but im still nowhere near 100% complete as apparently I need to go back through the levels to find hidden rooms etc.
I almost gave up on the snowy level with the spinning barrels, but persevered and stared at the barrels until I worked out the timing.
I am looking forward to this new game which so far looks pretty dahn good which im sure is gonna have plenty more annoyingly hard levels too.

[grimtales1]

I think I completed all 3 with my bro's help back in the day, I'm trying DKC3 on GBA but had to give up on that bl**dy Riverside Race level

I really liked the Brothers Bear element in that game and the RPG-ish element they gave it

[gamercraig]

I so want Diddy Kong Racing to come out whether it's on the VC or a "re-imagining" for the Wii.

I love the music to the Haunted Woods track, on of my favourite pieces of gaming music:=

[grimtales1]

I want Diddy Kong Racing too, are there plans for it on VC?

[Ben Etchells]

I'm looking forward to this.

It's clearly not going to be in the same league as the SNES games by Rare, but it's still looking good.

I've been wating another DK platformer for years.

[grimtales1]

A remake of Diddy Kong Racing could be great. I know they tried it on DS but it wasnt very good apparently.

[tommyd1258]

This is one my favourite pieces of news from E3, Retro + Donkey Kong Country can only be AWESOME.

[grimtales1]

Maybe Diddy Racing will come to VC (or maybe not since Microsoft have Banjo now)
That was great, I liked the way you went through Diddy as if it were a platform game, with bosses and objects to find and stuff I wish my N64 still worked

[Paddy C]

Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3 had some of the best music I have ever heard in a computer game, it even makes some of the Mario level music sound boring in comparison. I wonder what they will have composed for Donkey Kong Country Returns....

[grimtales1]

I hope they use the original music or modernise it (actually not modernise but still keep the original music and feel of it).

I played it last night and even the first mine cart section was brutal. I've not played it properly in years, I'll have to see how I get on but it's as tough as I remembered!

My top tip is to play it on HBC and just keep saving every now and then once you get past each hard bit. That way you dont have to keep on doing the level over and over form the beginning or last check point..

[grimtales1]

Is the VC version full speed/full screen?
