Donkey Kong 64

[cookieboy17]

They probably have it at a flea market or something, that's where I found Banjo Kazooie like 2 years ago.

Is that flea market still around?

It's in Canada lol.

But there's a store that sells used games from like the N64 about 5 minutes from me I can check there one day.

I LOVED THIS GAME! The only thing I hated was Gloomy Galleon because it was pretty much all under water. I loved the Graphics, the characters, and I Loved the ending.


My favourite character is Lanky because of his Orangstand

Glad to see that everybody in this thread liked the game. Talk about it anywhere else and people are quick to jump down your throat about it being horrid.

I remember my first run (I was 8) and I got all the way to the end, and you need a RareWare Coin and a Ninendo Coin. I had the Nintendo Coin already (so I thought) and spent a massive amount of time trying to break the highscore to get the RareWare coin. Only problem is I forgot what score I had to break, so I just kept getting higher and higher High Scores. Come to find out I already had the RareWare coin and needed the Nintendo one all along And this was actually done within 2 years ago.

I beat K. Rool on my cousin's cart or something (the only difference was getting the coin and then hopping into the Krock and fighting K. Rool), so I did beat the game, it just took literally a years worth of time (most of them not even touching the game) to realize I was going after the wrong coin. I have a nice highscore in JetPack though

Lol JetPac

I hated JetPac especially, Donkey Kong (Arcade) was a bit better. =P

Also, Beaver Bother or the one where you're a Klaptrap shooing Beavers into the barrel hole was BS x9000.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

I hated Beaver Bother. I can't believe there were two in Creepy Castle. There were three total, the first was in Frantic Factory.

And JetPac is the sole reason why this game is not coming to the Wii's Virtual Console.

And HuntMac, you needed 5,000 points for the RareWare Coin to appear in JetPac.

And JetPac is the sole reason why this game is not coming to the Wii's Virtual Console.

I thought it was also due to Rareware being owned by Microsoft. The deal did not include DK and Diddy, yet it did include this game, which was

BS x9000.

 

[HuntMac]

If that were true, then Dixie nor Tiny would have been in Diddy Kong Racing DS. Replacing two Rare characters for two more would be redundant... and 'illegal'? Not sure the right word, but otherwise Banjo and Conker would have been OK to leave in if that were the case.

 

[Treasure Trawlers]

Rare themselves said they have no clue why the game isn't on the VC! It has nothing to do with Jetpac

Yeah, exactly.

Link?

 

[H-J Kaabii]

Are any of the Expansion Pak games available on VC?

WHo exactly owns the DK characters anyway? =P

Back to gameplay, it's kinda sad how limited of an area you can use Rambi in the first area. (forgot its name). I mean, just one smallish room? >_>

 

[Treasure Trawlers]

Nintendo owns everything DK.

^ here you go

 

[HuntMac]

@Harley I can confirm that. Just not with a Link

@H-J ET TIEM 4 SMASHIN HUTS!

 

[AegisReflector]

Nintendo can't use Banjo or Conker anymore, right?

Unless some joint agreement was put up.

 

[HuntMac]

Which is highly unlikely just cause Microsoft is the "owner" or their boss or whatever way you want to put it. The DS/handheld team still has one game in them that they can make (through a contract or whatever) but they've been disbanded/put on hiatus since October 08 or so.

In my opinion, this game is one of the best for the Nintendo 64, and one of the best that Rare ever made. It's got deep gameplay, great worlds to explore, fun and fast-paced minigames, funny humor, and it's MUCH MUCH longer than Banjo-Kazooie.

I agree; It's a hidden gem? that all in my family enjoy, not to mention my mother's favorite game of all time.
