Something many critics don't seem to mention is the fantastic level design and variety of each stage in DKC3. While DKC1 had generally good level design, some levels could occasionally feel similar. DKC2's level design was very tough, but it had many unique assets for many levels that made it very fun to play.
DKC3, on the other hand, is amazing. Each level has some sort of new object, enemy, vehicle, level mechanic, or whatever! There's a ton of variety, and it's easily the best of the original trilogy IMO.
And Kiddy Kong isn't just DK reskinned; He holds barrels lower, like diddy, is faster, has the water skip (which was much more useful than the hand slap), and can be used like a steel keg.
So please, stop saying Kiddy is pointless, people.
Sakurai sees the Mii Fighter costumes differently than most people. He sees them as representing their character just as much as a new fighter would. That's the thing. He sees those Virtua Fighter costumes as being just like having those characters as fighters. When we said we wanted K. Rool in SM4SH, we meant as a brand new fighter, not a Mii Fighter skin.
I'm still just... I can't even describe it. It's like I'm in a nightmare and I can't wake up. It just can't be real. Not Iwata... How? I can't process it. I can't stop tearing up.
...Satoru Iwata. Wow. What an amazing man. He helped to create so many games that I still enjoy today. This is going to sound silly, but he's almost like a friend to me. He was such a lovable and friendly man.
I've never felt this kind of regret and sadness. I feel like we didn't appreciate him enough.
Welp, the way Sakurai puts it, I think it's now a given that K. Rool is making it in. "This is my finest hour, nobody on this earth can stop me noooooow!"
King K. Rool most definitely doesn't have any gameplay or any of that done yet, however, they may just wait until later this year to give us a sweet trailer and a Crocodile Cacophony remix.
The big men at Nintendo, such as Iwata or Sakurai, all have had their achievements. But Miyamoto is one of the most respected game developers in the world.
Happy birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto. You've earned it.
I've already got seventeen hours logged into the Smash Bros. 3DS demo and haven't had a single predicament relating to the Circle Pad or any other buttons yet.
I think it's safe to say I'm not going to have any problems...
I've always wanted Nintendo to release more demos, but then again, sometimes it's better to just wait as to not bore people with the product by the time the title is put on store shelves, or to ruin too much content.
Smash Bros. 3DS's demo on the other hand... Well, it was perfectly balanced (that's not to say I didn't want more, though).
@coolaggro Well, perhaps it's not as ludicrous as the Smash Bros. 3DS forum on GameFAQS is currently, but it's still up there with some other sites.
If you really one of the dang codes that badly, go to a small site and ask for one when not many people are online. You're gauranteed to find somebody who'll give you a code since there's nobody else is asking at the time (it at least worked for my brother).
The first page about this demo was filled to the brim with spam and comments saying "Please email me a code at [email protected]". Well, it appears that the curse has spread to other articles and threads now.
I got one from a friend of mine who was feeling generous, but really? I thought that the users begging around the internet were pathetic enough, but Jesus! Selling these codes for thirty dollars? Absolutely intolerable.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th December (Europe)
OH MY! Pikmin 2, for sure. One of my favorite games of all time, can't hate myself enough for selling my GC copy all those years ago...
Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games
Sure, it's a flawed game, but Wario World at 0%!? Show some love!

Re: Nintendo of America Issues Takedown Request on AM2R, Ending the Project
I still don't quite understand why this keeps happening...
Re: A New Pikmin Game is Coming to 3DS
Honestly this isn't what I had in mind for a new Pikmin but I'm sure it'll be good.
I think this is a spinoff and not the actual Pikmin 4. Pikmin 4 will be on the NX and this will be something less story driven, maybe non-canon.
Re: It's Now Possible To Play Virtual Boy Games On Your Android Phone
Virtual Boy Wario Land wasn't just the only good game on the VB. It was absolutely fantastically phenomenally wonderful.
Where is my 3DS remake, Nintendo?!
Re: Feature: Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards 2015
Splatoon, hands down. As much as I love Super Mario Maker, a certain brand new IP where you can be a kid and a squid wins my vote.
Re: DKC3 - Lakeside Limbo
Nostalgia! If you can't tell from my avatar, I love DKC3 huehuehuehue
Re: Cube Life: Island Survival
I already regretted getting this poor game, but now that Minecraft is coming I REAAALLY regret it.
Re: Random: Fan Creates Custom amiibo of EarthBound Cast and Pokémon Trainer Red
I'd really like for a Porky/Pokey amiibo to me made, too...
Re: It's Pirates vs. Ninjas in the Next North American Splatoon Splatfest
Arr, me Kremling Kutthroats! Let us sail the seven seas (and splat some squid kids in our inkling disguises)!

Re: Review: VoxelMaker (Wii U eShop)
Looks decent. Really not much to say about it, though... It does what it sets out to do and that's what really matters.
I'll stick to Pixel Paint, anyway.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo and DeNA Will Be Revealing the First Smart Device Software Soon
WarioWare and Dr. Mario would be two of the best things for mobile, if you ask me.
Re: Nintendo Life Weekly: The Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot Ends, a Naughty Splatoon Octoling and More
Bow down to your favorite Kremling King, everyone! We all know K. Rool's the one who'll Kroc the vote!

Stability. Because we didn't have that the last million updates.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer? - 30th Anniversary Edition
Definitely Super Mario Bros. 3. No question.
Re: Mario History: Super Smash Bros. Melee - 2001
No Luigi's mansion?
NO LOVE FOR SQUEEGEE
Re: Review: Wario: Master of Disguise (Wii U eShop / DS)
Yeah, I remember this one. Probably the only Wario game that was "bad" or not "amazing".
Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st
...Welp.
Sakurai sees the Mii Fighter costumes differently than most people. He sees them as representing their character just as much as a new fighter would. That's the thing. He sees those Virtua Fighter costumes as being just like having those characters as fighters. When we said we wanted K. Rool in SM4SH, we meant as a brand new fighter, not a Mii Fighter skin.
That's what Sakurai doesn't get.

Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
Dang... This is extremely shocking. I give my condolences to his family and to Nintendo.
...I don't mean to be "that" guy, but I'm really worried about Nintendo now. They have to have somebody as president, right?
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Confirms That Recent Super Smash Bros. DLC Additions Weren't From the Fan Ballot
Welp, the way Sakurai puts it, I think it's now a given that K. Rool is making it in. "This is my finest hour, nobody on this earth can stop me noooooow!"
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th June (Europe)
Terrible week, ASIDE from Dr. Mario holy hell... That looks amazing. Where is the hype? :3
Really though, NOA, hurry up! I want my Miracle Cure...
Re: Nintendo Announces a Special Video Presentation for Super Smash Bros., Hosted by Masahiro Sakurai
King K. Rool most definitely doesn't have any gameplay or any of that done yet, however, they may just wait until later this year to give us a sweet trailer and a Crocodile Cacophony remix.
...Assuming, he's on Sakurai's mind, that is...

Re: Weirdness: Apparently Wario Was Mario's Childhood Friend and Bowser "Could Not Stand the Idea of Happy Fungi"
@GloverMist Indeed. Wario's backstory is actually entirely true. Although the author failed to mention how he saw Mario as a "bully" of sorts.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Donkey Kong 64
Easily the most underrated Rare title on the N64.

Re: SmileBASIC Will Bring Petit Computer Game Development to 3DS Next Year
While I may not know a lick of actual coding, I did enjoy the first Petit Computer title for it's impressive games that some were capable of.
Perhaps I'll pick this one up.
Re: Weirdness: Playing as Peach Online is Triggering Auto-Bans in Japan
Interesting.
The Villager seems to make tons of items and projectiles, so why doesn't it ban Villager players too?
Re: Weirdness: Modder Recreates Donkey Kong Country In Doom Engine
I personally don't see what's so strange and "weird" about this mod. It's just a neat idea... Although I really don't think this is worth an article.
Re: Talking Point: The Super Smash Bros. 3DS Demo Has Been an Easy Triumph for Nintendo
I've always wanted Nintendo to release more demos, but then again, sometimes it's better to just wait as to not bore people with the product by the time the title is put on store shelves, or to ruin too much content.
