I've played Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. I even wrote about how awesome the new items and levels are in my review, but apparently I missed the part where Donkey Kong breaks through a wall and scares the crap out of you, resulting in a lost life.
Thankfully, I was playing in the comfort of my own home and not at the Santa Monica pier where a recent Nintendo event let fans get up close and personal with Mario's old nemesis. Not nice Nintendo! Those kids only wanted to enjoy a minecart or vine ride in glasses-free 3D, but I guess a picture with DK and his red tie made everything all better.
But, c'mon. I mean when I jump out and scare children, no one buys my game. What the hell?
[Update:] From the pier to the LA Zoo, when will DK's Los Angeles romp end?
Donkey Kong At LA Zoo
-
LA Zoo
After the Ape's escape to the Santa Monica pier, Nintendo gave him a branch to calm down. -
RAAAWWWR
I'd totally wear the DK suit for the day. -
Happy Kid
Kids are happy when you don't jump out and scare them. I guess some of them liked it in the video though. -
Real Monkeys, Real Barrel
Just kidding, that was a real monkey. I saw the gorillas at the SF Zoo once and they do some pretty human-style stuff. I hope one of them threw that thing though. -
So they\'re finally here...
