This was the first N64 game I ever owned.

I got the Jungle Green N64 bundle. It was gorgeous.

One of the best Rare games I own. And now it'll be the closest we'll ever get to having Banjo-Kazooie on the VC.

A fantastic game. Loved it so much. Great music as always too.

I had this game. It was pretty good. I don't think I ever beat it though.

While this game was hyped it really started to get dumped on within a week after its release. Too much collecting things for most I guess. I loved it though, I remember beating it at 100% or 101%, whatever it was and then playing the whole game over again. I rarely do that with games.

Hey Nintendo-dad, awesome avatar you've got there. Too bad they lost today, we've come a long way though. WHO DEY


DK64 WAS AWESOME TOO

This was a huge game, wasn't it?

Each world had absolutely tons of things to do. Races, platforming, collecting, exploring, fighting...

I liked it =)

This was my favorite I had on the N64(didn't get OoT til Gamecube ).

I hope it comes to vc soon.

Odd, I just busted this game out yesterday for a bit. Was testing to see if my consoles were hooked up to my smaller TV for old school gaming and this is what I played for a bit on the N64.

I played DK64 again recently. As a kid I didn't mind the collecting aspects of the game since I was just playing to get to have fun and beat K. Rool. As an adult, I've become very OCD with this game. Now I actually sorta hate the constant switching. Makes me wish there was a quick switch feature. If I could stop being OCD with this game then it probably wouldn't bug me, but alas sometimes when you grow older some things just aren't the masterpieces you remember (like Banjo-Kazooie, I've gotta admit that despite still being a good game some aspects about it just have not aged well, the sequel is still superior in many ways). Not saying the game's suddenly become "bad" to me, I'm just saying I've unfortunately developed a small sense of OCD that causes the switching aspect to become a bother. Game's still great though, I did beat it on that said recent playthrough.

Anyway yeah I remember this commercial. Would be nice for the game to hit the VC so more people can experience the fun of DK64. I still have my N64 cart so I won't re-buy if it does hit the VC, though.

Rare peaked with Jet Force Gemini, minus the mandatory collecting of every hostage. What was WITH Rare and collecting during that time?

Nah, Rare peaked with Killer Instinct 2/Gold, and for some reason they never elaborated on in the time I used to follow their blog, they won't ever revisit the Killer Instinct franchise again.

I enjoyed Jungle Beat GC immensely, and when compared to 64, I'm glad that Nintendo's in control of DK once again. I never kept a save file of it because it was just the kind of game you want to play from the beginning every time. It had an arcade appeal in that way.

"It represents a time when RARE knew what it was doing..."

It's funny you say that, since I consider this the point at which RARE began its fall from grace.

This game is second only to Zelda:OOT. Honestly, it's such an awesome game (and I love the DK rap!).

LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY TAH-KSI (love how back in those days Rare wasn't afraid to use the indian accent, now days it's seen as racist and to some it's like committing mass genecide- those PC self-rightoues people are idiots).
