Donkey Kong Country Returns

Re: New Donkey Kong Country announced at E3

It always amazed me how Donkey Kong went from being a evil monkey who stole Mario's old Girlfreind, to a hero who saved DK island. :dk:

That's because they're two different characters. The Donkey Kong from the arcade games, who kidnapped Pauline, is Cranky Kong. The current Donkey Kong, the star of the DKC series, is Donkey Kong Jr. However, there have been a few inconsistencies. In Donkey Kong Country 2, Cranky referred to Donkey Kong as his "lazy grandson", but in Donkey Kong 64, he called him his "good-for-nothin' son".

Donkey Kong's profile in Mario Superstar Baseball referred to the original Donkey Kong as his ancestor. Also, during Solid Snake's codec in Brawl, Otacon tells Solid Snake that the original Donkey Kong was the grandfather of today's Donkey Kong.

It's not easy trying to figure out the whole truth when several sources aren't confirming that Cranky Kong was in deed the original Donkey Kong.

Maybe so, but I'd say that this is more than enough proof.
 
Yes, yes, YES. It's about TIME they've showed some more footage of this game, and it's JUST what I wanted to see! The way Rambi plays in this game kind of reminds me of the way Hoofer played in Jungle Beat for some reason, but I don't mind that too much. It looks extremely fun. I can't wait until this game is released.
 
Rambi's in the game... Good. Even though it was kind of obvious by the cover art, but at least not it's really REALLY official... :P
 
Has anyone got the latest Nintendo Power already? It is supposed to reveal which other Kong is going to join Donkey and Diddy?
