Nintendo Land 2: Nintendo Land Resort. It now includes a DKCR mini game with Cranky Kong DLC to come in 2 years.

So apparently it's been confirmed that Reggie's big thing is just a demo, likely for Donkey Kong Country: Banana Slamma. The only bomb being dropped is Nintendo's stock price. Congratulations, Nintendo, on being so totally predictable.

Too bad. I'm still hoping for a Smash release date.

Meh, Cranky Kong reveal. Oh well.

That was all? Wow, I'm happy and all because he is my favorite DK character, but that is rather underwhelming for an award show.

The Cranky Kong reveal was not worth the hype.

It's also just plain unfortunate that the announcement was already leaked, but I guess you can't do much about it after the fact.

I... don't even... Cranky Kong? That's what all the hullabaloo has been for? Really? I mean, fine, he's a playable character, but did we really need two weeks of hype for that? I love Nintendo games, but I will never understand their marketing strategy, or lack thereof.

Given the content of the rest of the show, being disappointing probably means Nintendo comes across the best.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #133 on:** December 07, 2013, 07:22:07 PM »

So glad I forgot to DVR that ****. That's pathetic.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #134 on:** December 07, 2013, 07:44:19 PM »

Errr...it's not on TV? Spike is showing a rerun of COPS instead? Awesome.

Shaymin · « **Reply #135 on:** December 07, 2013, 08:21:22 PM »

There's an edited version later, but given that this show included banderas.gif, PewDiePie and transphobia....

To make it clear: Jim Sterling's rendition of the show on Twitter is LESS offensive than the show itself.

They kept making Spartan do the Banderas before the Sony Nazis took the Playroom off of Twitch streams

Maybe I've missed it, but how has nobody mentioned Reggie wearing the Samus Aran lapel pin while appearing with an employee of Retro Studios. They even talked about it with Keighley! That's pretty big news, even though there was no official confirmation yet.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #138 on:** December 07, 2013, 08:28:25 PM »

Wow, that guy's Twitter feed is hilarious.

Adrock · « **Reply #139 on:** December 07, 2013, 08:32:35 PM »

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze still looks amazing. I mentally prepared for this announcement and managed my expectations accordingly. It's not really the audience for this kind of game, but screw them, I enjoyed the new info.

Caliban · « **Reply #140 on:** December 07, 2013, 08:54:56 PM »

I was hoping Reggie would drop a fist on Geoff Keighley.

This is the day the music died.

Is this the right time to head over to the optimism thread?

broodwars · « **Reply #143 on:** December 08, 2013, 12:05:12 AM »

Here's a link to the livestream if you're watching it tonight like I am right now (while stabbing dudes in Assassin's Creed 4, also known as "synergy"): link.

Apparently Keighly made fun of Reggie on the air for only showing off an underwhelming reveal to an underwhelming announcement for an underwhelming game. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Adrock · « **Reply #144 on:** December 08, 2013, 12:30:26 AM »

Underwhelming game... You shut your whore mouth.

It's a game no one asked for, so yes I'm going to call it an "underwhelming game." I wasn't exactly seeing Tears of Joy for it after its original announcement, nor tonight with this reveal.

Whether or not it's what we wanted Retro to be doing, I have no doubt it will be one of the best games released on any platform in 2014.

Adrock · « **Reply #147 on:** December 08, 2013, 12:41:03 AM »

I was joking. I don't care if you find it underwhelming.
