Miyamoto da GAWD ethered Sonic

[lurker emeritus]

i love nintendo but miyamoto and them boys be on some bs.

dkc doubled up on smw2 yoshi's island and dkc2 was the best game released on the snes. he was clearly shook & insecure when rare came through and crushed the buildings, but in reality dkc saved nintendo because sega was clearly winning while nintendo showed an aversion to blood in games and games on cd.

but of course nintendo wound up actually ethering themselves with them shady @ss licensing rules (bye bye third parties) and going behind sony's back with phillips (because the cd-i was totally worth creating that sce behemoth that 25 years later still hasn't released foot off neck). all in the name of stubbornness and ungratefulness.

Sonic had the juice back in the 16 bit days

DKC was not better than SMW, breh

That shyt felt sloppy in comparison when I replayed both of them last year on the SNES classic.

Theres nothing sloppy about Donkey Kong Country. Even in comparison to Super Mario World. Both are brilliant all the way through.

never said it was. i said dkc2 was better than smw and that dkc doubled smw2 sales wise (that shift ).
i got dkc2 and a playstation fall 95 and dkc2 BY FAR had more of my attention than any other game.
can't speak on the snes classic, still got the og and it plays just fine.

Eh....you're right but Mario was the first "superstar" mascot as far as side scroller/platformers go and I think people are getting caught up in "how is Sonic like Mario?" instead of looking at it like everyone wanted a mascot and/or a character based side scroller (Bug, Bubsy, Rayman, Taz, even lesser known stuff like Astal) after Mario.

Fred.

If he said that, I'd agree. But this looks more like some Lebron passive aggressive shade than anything.

Some Old bytch: Why cant you be like that nice boy Mario?

I gotta agree. I've always felt that something was off about the control on DKC . Amazing game, but it seems that some of the difficulty was ratcheted up because of choppy controls

Sonic was in direct competition to Mario

Sega pulled off there "edgy" mascot.

It was def shade.

Just comparing it to SMW... it wasn't as fluid imo . I'll be the first to admit I put more hrs into SMW than DKC so I could be a lil bias
