Ever since Rare left Nintendo then we haven't had a single "great" Donkey Kong game.

 

We got Donkey Konga / Donkey Konga 2 (which aren't even "Donkey Kong" games... just rhythm games that were DK-themed), DK Jungle Beat (not "traditional" and definitely a lesser game than DK64), and the "best" one we've had since DK64 was DK Country Returns... although I didn't like it (this is my personal opinion though... I typically don't like platformers in general)

 

I'm not saying any of those 4 games were "bad" (I actually enjoyed Jungle Beat and the Donkey Kongas were a lot of fun) but none of these are in the class of DK64.

 

To make this worse... there hasn't been a single action-adventure game like DK64 or the Banjo-Kazooie series since the days of N64 (which coincides with the time that Rare left...)

Out of the few action-adventure games we have gotten, none are able to match the greatness of DK64.

 

It's as if the whole genre has died (except for the Zelda series). I don't like this fact at all, as action-adventure is one of my favourite genres... now I'm stuck with pretty much just RPGs...

I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many great memories with Donkey Kong 64

this game was FANTASTIC even better than Mario 64

same thing for Banjo Kazooie & Tooie

if damn microsoft didn't bought Rare(sorry for grammar) we might've had another 3d DK game

I'm just a big fan of N64(my favorite Console by the way) and these games(along Ocarina of Time,Mario Party,Mario Kart64, Diddy Kong Racing and other games) made my childhood soooooooo memorable

thank you Nintendo & Rare for all those great Classics

I hope they make a Remake for the 3DS

I didn't really like DKCR either since they replaced the Kremlings with those generic-wannabe-goomba Tikis. The gameplay was great though. (*except for the fact that I had to waggle to roll :rolleyes: *) Rare leaving Nintendo was such a great loss but I guess it was for the best since by the time Rare got bought, all their best people had left.
