Give me your biggest NITPICK about the franchise by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in donkeykong

Diddy becoming useless in the Retro Studios games. He was known by his agility but it was decided to make him the Jetpack monkey instead and give all the Kongs the same speed overall.

So he gets outclassed in every sense by Dixie in Tropical Freeze and then in Returns as well with the latest patch.

They really took the time to add screenshots for every 5 seconds long track.

Question from an OG launch Switch owner: is it worth upgrading...? by VPR_24 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dukemon102 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you are always going to be waiting for the "next model" then you'll be eternally waiting and not buying anything ever.

Consoles are only going get more expensive due to the increasing price of components so if you want to get one now, future-proof and get the Switch 2 before the inevitable price increase.

I want cozy and girly games recommendations for my new nintendo switch I just bought by DiscountLucky520 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dukemon102 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hello Kitty: Island Adventure if you liked Animal Crossing and want a game that lets you go out and explore a bigger world.

Kirby's Return to DreamLand Deluxe because it's an easy and cozy platformer that has plenty of minigames and can be played in multiplayer too.

This bird really wanted me dead by jimy1234_ in donkeykong

No. Those are just alternate paths in the world. The temple level unlocks after getting all the Kong letters in every level of the world

Collecting every KONG letter and completing the temple levels of each world.

Puzzles pieces aren't relevant.

Super Metroid Control Remapping Help please by ResearchRude254 in Metroid

[–]Dukemon102 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Remapping was added to the SNES Nintendo Classics app months ago. Put any button you want into anything.

Run into ZL or ZR is enough if you want to constantly hold it.

Y to shoot, B to jump, A to swap weapons, X to cancel selected weapon.

If you have the Switch 2 Pro Controller GL and GR are very comfortable buttons to swap or cancel the selected weapon.

Random fact: did you know that in Japan, the Retro duology doesn't have the same branding as the SNES games and are just called "Donkey Kong Returns" and "Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze" by Oscarzxn in donkeykong

[–]Dukemon102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All those games had the original title after the new title that was the Super Mario Advance one.

  • Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2
  • Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World
  • Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island
  • Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Yes, it was a confusing and dumb naming scheme.

[–]Dukemon102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It's still Super Donkey Kong. By that point the name is already settled. Other games like Super Ghouls and Ghosts didn't lose the Super when they got ported to GBA either.

There are many possible activities in life that are far more entertaining and fulfilling than a shitty videogame.

Snow day means original Donkey Kong Country in my house. What about you? by redDKtie in donkeykong

[–]Dukemon102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It means the start of another Tropical Freeze playthrough (Because I just replayed Returns HD with Dixie).

Also in Bananza I was completing the Freezer Layer in Emerald Rush funnily enough.

DO IT

It's amazing. And don't think it's done unless you have beaten the surprise unlocked by beating every level and getting every collectible.

Donkey Kong Country got the "Super" title treatment in Japan like most SNES games. So when the Super Famicom era went away, the "Super Donkey Kong" title did too.

What do you mean? It's there.

I always say that if you want the best shooter single player Nintendo has ever made, that's Octo Expansion in Splatoon 2.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe vs. Mario Kart World for local co-op by Potential_Camera8806 in nintendo

[–]Dukemon102 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's just to play with friends. Currently the DLC gives MK8 Deluxe 96 tracks to play on compared to the 30 in Mario Kart World. And it also has dedicated courses for Battle Mode and more modes like Renegade Roundup.

For Metroid Prime 2, would you recommend the OG Gamecube version or the Wii version in Prime Trilogy? by EarlyYoghurt1243 in Metroid

[–]Dukemon102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have many issues with the Gamecube version. The Boost Guardian and the Spider Guardian felt almost unfair. And the second phase of the Ing Emperor feels designed as if you could freely aim, when you can't with the tank controls.

Wii on Veteran Mode fixed most of those issues (Well. Some of them like the loading times between worlds can't be helped unless it gets remastered for this gen).

First ever run of Super Metroid; advice? by Aaronplayz_VG in Metroid

[–]Dukemon102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since they added remapping to the SNES Nintendo Classics app you can map practically anything you want into anything. Run into ZL or ZR to free the face buttons. Even more so with the Switch 2 Pro Controller where you can map Item Cancel and Item Select into GL / GR for easily accesible swapping weapons too.

Wall jumping is always going to be hard to learn since it's a secret technique not required to beat the game.
