Video Gaming in the Clinton Years #098: DONKEY KONG COUNTRY

[rudorot65]

I wonder how banjo threeie would be if rare was still Nintendo (no banjo threeie was not the working title for nuts and bolts)

[GreenDeathFlavor]

"I'll show you why they call me big dong donkey kong."

[FreedInsanity]

PLAY IT LOUD IN STEREO, DOOD

[pHr33kAcHu]

@GCdotTK Amen man, a-frickin-men!

[michiyoyoshiku]

@GCdotTK

Look I'm 30 I grew up in the 90s I have mega man memorized. I'd rather play Gears of war smoke weed and rock to some metal than play this overrated game. (not I said overrated game not overrated crap as in it's not horrible just not a classic)

[justsignmeup911]

"You can buy the music on CD from Nintendo if your Nintendo isn't hooked up to a stereo system"

[Campingcam]

what happened, rare...what happened?

[demonqueenzeo]

@GCdotTK Try, I grew up with this wonderful game, played it when I was very young, and I still do. My Super Nintendo died, and I set up an emulator specifically to get a chance to be able to play this game once again. I'm not on the very last level, and I am a teenager, don't think it's gay, love it, yet enjoy the modern games as well. Yet I'm one of the minority, and have always enjoyed the oldies.

[greyfoxx55]

@GCdotTK im a teenager i am 15 and i miss the 90s and early 2000's best years i wish i could go back to those times

[MainForceOfEvil]

@greyfoxx55 Lol you were like 3 when the 90's ended, how can you remember anything? Except little bits and pieces.

[greyfoxx55]

@MainForceOfEvil surprisingly i can remember it pretty well, and i was 5 when it ended. Pretty much everything i like now has its roots or is from in the 90's. So even though i wasn't that old in the 90's i still basque in the remnants and the legacy the 90's left behind

[greyfoxx55]

@MainForceOfEvil so please don't associate me with these ignorant kids of my age, i am much more mature and not as near sighted,stubborn,biased,and immature as them. Idk what gaming has to do with personality but i have always been mature

[MainForceOfEvil]

@greyfoxx55 Yeah ok man calm down. Sorry if I offended you. Besides, you said that you were 15; 7 months ago so I was assuming that you're born in 1996, same year as my lil bro and he doesn't remember jack squat about the 90's. I guess it depends on the person's memory but yeah.

[greyfoxx55]

@MainForceOfEvil oh naw man i'm calm just dont want people thinking im one of those kids :)

[Jostra123]

@GCdotTK But... Metal is good? :l

[DJCaesar]

9 people are STUPID

[eriklima2]

I had this game for Super NES. One of the best game for the console, with the best graphics I ever seen on a 16 bit console.

[EdmacZ]

I'll show why they call me Big Dong Donkey Kong.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Unfortunately the graphics actually weren't revolutional, because crappy 3D took over videogames :-/

[PirahnaProductions]

@GCdotTK i'm 14 and i think this game is fantastic!Your just coming up with stereotypes.BTW Gears of war doesn't sound that good anyway

[WaffleKogen]

My Super Nintendo is not hooked up to a stereo system.

[JeguRocks]

The reviewer is kind of a graphics whore

[AfterShockPivot]

I remember this for the Gameboy Color, shit was cash.

[Hampsterboy420]

Are people taking this video seriously.....?

[Gearsfanatic]

@GCdotTK

whats wrong with weed?

[VerendumProductions]

@Gearsfanatic It fucking kills you, that's what's wrong with it.

[burton1221]

@VerendumProductions Way to sound like an ignorant moron. :/

[VerendumProductions]

@burton1221 Whatever, pothead.

[KeyOfReason001]

@GCdotTK I don't play gears or smoke weed, and metal is the shit. I was born in the 90's. :)

[jjalepeno55]

@GCdotTK i am a teenager....i hate most games that dont have a monkey,plumber,princess or a little pink ball-thing, i don't smoke, i love the beatles,

i love the classic games, i like gameplay over graphics

[KeyOfReason001]

@jjalepeno55 I like fun over graphics, story, plumbers, or snake.

[cozmicist]

1:48 doooooood

[thejobloshow]

I fucking love this game - I don't blame you George Wood. You know how to tell you've got a good game? WHEN THE WATER LEVELS ARE FUN.

[marmar3291]

Game of the decade?!? .... come on now. It's awesome, but not the best game in a 10 year span.

[TsukentoX]

@marmar3291 The video was made back when DKC first came out.

[BollyBibby]

@GCdotTK I'm a teenager today and I love the Super Nintendo

[mrmortgage]

Nintendo did an excellent job on this. The game still looks decent in comparison to today's standards. Truly impressive.

[dylstew]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

A DECENT NAVGTR REVIEW? OMGWTFBBQ!

[Gununderman]

Am I better off getting this game on Super NES or the virtual console?

[haloalldaylo]

@Gununderman I'd reccomend Wii just because you dont have to worry about finding a good snes controller also you dont have to worry about the battery (for saving) running out on the actual cartridge. The wii has more modern video hookups to make the game look better on todays tvs. but if youre a collector,,, snes would be what you want.

[supermariomanfan]

the game of the decade?....... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

[Bluegoo]

It's sarcasm right? They compiled reviews from the 90s to make them seem ironic? Or is this one dude's opinion? Why is it so hypnotic?

[xboxplaya420]

ahhh brings back memories

[TheSenileFeline]

PLAY IT LOUD IN STEREO, DUDE!

[JoeGeneralX]

I miss the days were I get to play as a well thought out character. Now I'll I can play are games about gun wielding meatheads.

[Roofhack]

YOU ARE STUPID

[whatthehellvideos]

one of the few accurate navgtr reviews

[tehSnid]

@GCdotTK

You are so right. I am 15, even though I was born when this game came out, I still remember playing many classic games in my early childhood from 3-9 years old. It sickens me how people think good games are just online shooters.

Whatever happened to the great Platformers, Adventure/Action Games, Beat em ups, and even classic RPGs?

[sportygrrrrrrl11998]

Those sprites are 2-D, not actually 3D.

[Nafebutuoy39]

You are correct sir

[deviltrigger555]

now that i think of it i haven't even finshed this game yet and i've had it for about 9 years or more lol

[EminemFan202]

Ah the memories, I had this and the other Donkey Kong games they were so fucking fun, I used t play for hours upon hours!

[santamaycry2]

the shark?

CHOMPS JUNIOR!??!?!

WHAT THE HELL

[CatNasty]

@santamaycry2 *~*~WOW!~*~

[BreakerdeGodot]

If you don't watch Retsupurae's riff on this video, you are stupid! Yes, I know that that is insulting, but it's true.

[AfroedNinja]

Why are you SCREAMING?!?!?!? *Turning down the volume*

[dsmartz29]

you scared me out with the game over screen!

[doom1killer123]

i used to get scared when i saw a dkc game over screen.i was creeped out on how you do something positive and the donkey kong would do that routeen, does he know hes in the video game? hes sappost to, because of cranky, diddy was less creepy.

[spades48]

yea that gameover screen use to to kinda scare me too when i was a kid.

[doom1killer123]

i still wished i had the original copy or the game... wait, that piece of super nintendo game in my yard... OMG THATS DONKEYKONG !!!!!!!! all i remember about it now is i lost it under wooden stairs... i dont get it, all these thoughts they make no sense, i find this in ignorance, the more u talk the less u say, youll find that out anyway, lol. MAN THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!!!!!! o yeah and the nintendo thing, i thing my dog chewed it up, not sure.

[tehSnid]

Agreed, the game over screen freaked me out as a kid.

[bottlecapbill19]

I would have to say this Is one of your better reviews. (thats not realy saying much) I loved this game and spent tones of hours playing it. The levels were challning the FX were amasing for the time and the music was awsome. This game will always be one of my favorits on the SNES... although I realy couldent say the same for its predecessors.

[animal90sFreak5]

these are great videos of classic tgames and all,but some of think they were maybe a lil harsh on some of the games,oh well still great time to have lived in.God bless the 90s.

[HORSE3104]

that ending music (game over music) is awesome i want a full 4 min track of that

[TheTimeDevourer]

The "play it loud on stereo dude!" part almost made me spit out the glass of water I was just drinking all over the screen. This has to be the best reviewer ever, but for all the wrong reasons.

[Campingcam]

"YOU ARE STUPID" yah I would love to see this guy this day...his head would possibly explode at the games you have now

[bukel93]

...this is terrible

[SwiftCracker]

And later, as the snes was sold out you had to play it on a computer but this game is ESA Protected now.

[Mapleholic]

you are STUPID

[jpgalvitron]

That Underwater theme Is The Chuck Norris of Game Theme's.

[LightcycleChampion]

I just lost the game

[uglypinkmoose]

he talks about some of the most pointless shit

[Minic15]

PLAYIT LOWD IN STERRIO DOOD

What the hell? Was he referencing a movie or something?

[zrobeast]

He was referencing the fact that anyone who hasn't played DKC is apparently stupid. Yes, I know that's insulting, but it's the truth

[atocombabaya]

lol!

[SideSmash]

Wait, is that Adam Sessler?

[sergionintendonerd]

No shit Sherlock

[SideSmash]

Really? How would you know? Sessler is part of G4, and if you lived in the Czech Republic, you wouldn't know who he is.

[SideSmash]

Hey, I'm a freshman in High School, and I LOVE the classics. So don't think we're ALL like that.

[sergionintendonerd]

Thanks for the info, I think everyone is interested if your in high school, because we thought that you were a 5 year old .

[atocombabaya]

freshman 15?

[tthomaselli2]

"Make 'Donkey Kong country' the game of the decade!".

(**Amen.**.).

[xWoudox]

Who let you near the computer, Grandpa?

[absolvscharizard]

I so agree with this.

[AndyBarclay]

Not me my friend, I grew up on, and still play SNES today...I guess I'm one of those Nostalgic Teens that like old stuff...:p

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

i agree,you are soo right,here is one thumb up for you

[jbeckett25]

game of the decade im not sure

[gonjamon99]

"...you are stupid!"  NO YOU!!!

[zrobeast]

Yes, I know that's insulting, but it's the truth!

[gonjamon99]

haha!

[roger62383]

donkey kong country was great, but metal gear solid was the game of the decade

[weeoo86]

Man I wanted an SNES just to play this game! now you can get it off of the VC for like 8 bucks:)

[MorshuProductions]

it was for n64

[weeoo86]

DKC? no I beg to differ but it was for SNES!:)

[MorshuProductions]

oh i am probrably thinking of somthing else

[weeoo86]

Well they DID make a Donkey Kong game for the N64 that was pretty similar to Banjo-Kazooie!

[lordstandeluxe]

Fucking christ, this guy's a goldmine of lulz.

[tthomaselli2]

"'Donkey Kong Country' is truly perfect'. If you do not get this new generation of 'Donkey Kong' madness, you are stupid!...".

(**I don't agree with everything that navgtr says, but, this I gotta agree with.**.).

[tthomaselli2]

The 'Game Over' always scared the crap out of me when I was a kid & it still does, now, just by hearing it in my head. (Lol.).

[Hamster44444539]

That gave me nightmares on the Game Boy version.

[tthomaselli2]

I play this game, every day & grew up with it!

[SonicpwnsShadow]

THAT BITCH CALLED ME STUPID

[KeyOfReason001]

@SonicpwnsShadow He is such a jerk huh?

[Palmerifics]

@SonicpwnsShadow You did not get Donkey Kong Country!? :O

[Natendo64]

ugh why do people keep calling donkey "kong"

[MonkeyChubby]

your stupid!

[GinEatedMe]

We used to own a SNES way back when, but my brother threw it out. I had to wait for it to come on VC for this gem

[karuk7575]

too bad, i have a wii, but, vc kinda cost a lot, thats why i got an emulator 4 my computer.this way, i dont have to buy the game i already have.just download it.crap, i already got it off the vc!

[BrandNameChapstick]

That 'Game Over' sequence used to scare the hell outta me when I was a kid.

[eac49er]

me too. I think its cause of the sad music being played.

[godoftakedown]

a truly great game, no doubt about it. However the reviewer should have mentioned that the polygon models that were created on work stations were scaled down to normal sprites in the final SNES-version. Many people believe the SNES renders the sprites in full 3D in real time, which is not the case. Still a master piece on the SNES.

[iamanotsalesman]

i love this game :)

[Surtur]

I always loved the music of these series, especially the factory levels and the K. Rool battle!

[crosbymalkin07]

Donkey kong country is TRULY perfect, if you do not get this amazing new generation of donkey kong madness, you are STUPID

haha i heard that in a ytmnd and i been lookin through all these navigatr reviews and thats where its from... i shouldve known

[Jaymonius]

One of my favorite game series, Donkey Kong Country was brilliantly made, all three were pure greatness. :D

[thejobloshow]

I love this, I remember seeing this for the first time. EVERYONE went batshit.

[lemurboy07]

the game over music is scary 0_0

[EmperorPharaohKing]

ohh great game.

[lethalripsta]

i still play this game and i will never stop playin it

[marnea1]

I same here I have to play it every time it snows... Don't ask. Anyways this game has incredible music.

[ShAdOwFaN1000]

supermariofan1 must also be scared of the dkc2 screen especially when it turns red at the end. i'm glad i'm not scared of it

[ShAdOwFaN1000]

sorry about this

[Gweebo]

WOW!

[danmoore5000]

Lol, you are STUPID!

[N1c2k3]

I've replayed this game moreso than any other. Best DK game ever. Top 3 SNES games ever...

[phatboy2256]

I miss Donkey Kong (The good ones like this)

[SuperMarioFan1]

Oh, and it still haunts me.

[Druffmaul]

Please shut the fuck up.  You're a pussy and an idiot.

[SuperMarioFan1]

SCREW YOU BITCH!

[WarioMario12345]
