I know that the game isn't something exceptional, but you gotta have in your collection if you are a Mario fan. Plus, it has 40 (!) characters in a single game. That's really great.
Regarding the homebrew installment, won't you be unable the get the 4.3 firmware update if you install it? I...
Other than homebrew, isn't there another way to play the game? I know that the Freeloader option ain't gonna work, because your firmware has to be really old (3.3 I think). Mine is 4.2 now so Freeloarder is not gonna work. I think that Nintendo is really lame for not giving a legitimate option...
Just b/c of the roster u r mentioning i'd have to say yes. We just had Mario Kart Wii and a Mario Kart 3DS is too soon I think. Therefore, a different concept would be better.
However, I think that the Luma/Polari duo should be Toad/Toadette. Then the roster would be perfect.
EDIT: Also Dry...
@Yin Yarn: guess what? Moles and piranha plants are used in the Mario games too! :D
You can't really speak of reference to a past game's enemies when it comes to generic animals like that. If it was something specific like Zingers, Porcupines, Armies and Klaptraps then yes, that's a use of an...
Bats and spiders can be found in the Mario games too. It really doesn't mean that it's the exact same enemies transfered to the modern game. Retro intentionally did not use an exact enemy from a past game. They used some concepts that were definitely altered. You can even see a chicken that...
Seriously, there is absolutely NO enemy that comes straight from the DKC games. Not even one.
Most of the enemies resemble Jungle Beat, even though seriously there is no use of an enemy in a previous game in that exact form. Everything is renovated and brand new.
If Final Fantasy characters are in it, I 'm not even gonna unlock them. I 've never played this game and I don't give a damn about it. It'd better be some real Mario or DK characters.
Does anyone think that eventually Bowser Jr will replace Bowser who will be limited to a smaller role in the game?
So far Bowser Jr has been his father's sidekick, but after some years will this status remain as such?
I hope it's not a platformer. It would be like bestiality, let's just leave the two different worlds alone. Fighter is not likely, I think it will be like a party game, given the lack of intention from Nintendo to make Mario Party 9 any time soon.
To be honest the graphics do not look that great. I 'm sure the game will be fun, but the designs look a little sloppy. You can actually see a lot of "pixely" corners on the various designs.
@Zoycite
I 'm afraid that this is the case. Squawks will probably be limited to being Cranky's pet from what we 've seen in Nintendo Power, while Enguarde is automatically excluded because of the water levels being left out.
Generally speaking, the DKC elements in DKCR are only remnants and...

It's official. No Kongs in the game, other than Cranky.
If they make one it'd better have more characters and better games. Better graphics too, since MP 8 had a 75% use of the screen and sucked pretty much.
lol @ the mutated green frog. Seriously though, have some respect for my :yoshi:
If Rosalina is in the roster, she will be in sports gear like in MK Wii when she rides a bike.

Petey seems to be out of the roster. According to the pic he must be some kind of minigame boss. Sweet
some of them are kind of generous though. I mean they might torment you throughout the game with constant bombing but some of them have like 9000+ points so if you actually finish in front of them you ll get big points.
I still think they 're pathetic losers though.
If it'd have to be a new character, I 'd like it to be based on an existing character. E.g. Petey Piranha is based on the Piranha plants, therefore he's a well fitting character in the roster. Characters like Nokis though are too weird. Piantas are tolerable though. Lumas also fit well cause...
Of course there should be a Super Mario Galaxy 3. However, it should not follow SMG2 steps.
1) Rosalina instead of Lubba. Lubba could be used as her sidekick but not something more.
2) Observatory (a new version perhaps?) instead of the giant head
3) Galactic maps and not linear maps
4)...
Birdo
Toadette
Hammer Bro
Dixie Kong
Koopa Troopa
Dry Bones
Rosalina
I don't think that Petey and King Boo would be in the game, they would look too awkward playing basketball and stuff.

How come there are seven questionmarks in the characters section? Does this mean unlockable players or supporting players like Shy Guys and Koopa Troopas?
Dude, if a SMG3 is ever launched, Rosalina HAS to be in it! One of the main reasons that the SMG2 was not received as well as SMG was is the replacement of Rosalina by Lubba. (I don't really care about her mother's story though, I just think she's a great character for the game).
The most violent scene I 've seen in a Mario game was in New Super Mario Bros where Bowser Jr drags Peach as if she's his whore like a damn pimp every time you beat a tower or a fortress. lol
To be honest I think that a new Mario Kart title would be too soon. Mario Kart Wii is not old and it's an amazing, successful game. And other than that, I understand that they need a big title to promote the new portable console, but still it'd be better to launch that title in 2012.
great topic man! It's good that u r playing this game again.
I go with Yoshi, Hammer Bros and Dry Bones. Most of the time, I rely on Hammer Bro's skillshot for scoring goals.
For those who play online, I absolutely hate those tricks that Waluigi, Daisy and Boos do.
