Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirms Playable Cranky Kong and Release Date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

I feared this would happen.

Like many people here I'm looking forward to DK, but Nintendo (once again) screwed up here. This was not the game to show at this particular event.

Plus, thanks to leaks the news about Cranky Kong was already known! Sure it was a rumor at the time, but still the fact that Nintendo made so much hype over an announcement that wasn't that big to begin with is just mind boggling.

I just noticed something. Dating sim games are far more popular in Japan then anywhere else (as far as I know anyway), and yet in America (not sure about Europe or Australia) a typical image of a gamer is a guy alone in a basement.

Unless this stereotypical idea is also widespread in Japan I can't help but find the whole thing rather strange.

This is exactly why I'm a loyal Nintendo fan. To me, video games are for fun and escapism; doing things you never could in real life.

Things like flinging fireballs out of my hands to defeat evil mushrooms (Mario), catching and battling alongside creatures of all shapes, sizes, and types, (Pokemon), flying through the air while shooting at various monsters, (Kid Icarus), or even simply living in a peaceful town full of friendly animals (Animal Crossing), are all examples of amazing experiences you could never have outside the virtual world.

Most games today however? Guns, war, gore, and realistic images. All things you can experience in our real world that I'd rather not think about. If I want to see or feel those scenarios, I'd watch the news or join the military.
