Consoles will have to adapt the same way smartphones have, or they'll die out. I won't subscribe to old ideas just because it's the way things were.

Let's analyze this, shall we?
- For the SNES, 'Super' was a selling point, because, hell... it's the word super.
- For the Nintendo 64, '64' was a selling point. It's a reference to the graphical capabilities of the console.
- For the Nintendo DS, 'DS' was a selling point. The DS was dual screen.
- For the Wii, sticking Wii at the end of their titles was a selling point because Nintendo has a [expletive] excellent marketing team.
- 'U' is a letter. There's essentially nothing to sell.

Eh, I've never been able to forgive Ninty for ruining Dinosaur Planet, but DKR is a fantastic game! Rare's fallen off the map, but Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Viva Piñata are excellent games developed during the post-buyout era.The only Rare games I like were StarFox Adventures and Diddy Kong Racing, but I don't play Rare very much anymore since they moved to xbox.
...I feel my introduction's been drawn out a bit by now.

I'm willing to accept that risk and design a banner.I did say that I'm prepared to let other fandoms with a significant presence here have their own Wii U Ponies-like banner, but I'm not going to be designing one for them. But again, I'm worried that someone who produces a less-than-good banner may be offended if I tell them it's not good enough.

I think it would be interesting to see some more themes. I don't know if how flexible customization is on the board, but I may be willing to whip something up. Any guidelines?

They're as huge of letdowns as I say they are, because it's my opinion. You also haven't given me any reason to believe they're not.[...]just because of this, that doesn't mean they're officially HUGE letdowns.

Care to elaborate?WHAT?!!
I see them both as awesome games from an awesome series. They aren't letdowns.
Brawl's overhauled engine is considerably slower and not optimized for tournament play, which I look for in a fighting game.
Kart's item balancing is completely broken.

I think it's time DK is cut from cameo games all together, but I suppose that's not a realistic suggestion. Double Dash! might've been refreshing, but I'd prefer it stay a one-off... it was one of the weakest titles in the franchise.
In my opinion, there should be greater emphasis on timing and item balance than luck, a tactic no MK game has fully grasped.

Appreciate the welcomes, guys.
I agree. Some of Rare's definitive humor is definitely left intact, and the game is fine as it is, but such a radically different type of game just didn't fit Banjo. I feel fans would've been more welcoming if they'd just created a new IP around that style. I can't say I hated it, but it's certainly not what I was expecting from a B-K game.Banjo Kazooie and Tooie are among my favourite games of all time!
Have you played Nuts and bolts an if so did you enjoy it? I personally didn't, the lack of the old characters and the humour just wasn't what it was in the older games although maybe I'm just wearing nostalgia goggles.

I remember getting to the first bosses in Link to the Past, the Armos Knights. My conversation with my mother proceeded as such.
"MOM!"
"Yeah, hun?"
"COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS BOSS!"
She would then walk in, look at the screen, roll her eyes, and walk away. This continued to happen through each subsequent boss fight.

Hey there, name's Andre'. I'm 18 years old and have quite a bit of forum experience; I hope I become a valuable asset to this community!
Challenging retro games are my niche. I've owned just about every console since the Atari 2600, and will take the classics over a game on a next-gen console any day. My favorite console is the SNES, though I have high hopes for the Wii U!
I'm a massive fan of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy and Rare's interpretation of the character. Donkey Kong Country 2 is my favorite game, among:
I dig graphic design and it's my other true passion.
I can be a nice guy, but I don't take spit from anyone, so don't bring it.
All right, time to meet some folks! Oh, and feel free to add me on Last.fm!
