The main complaint I've heard about DCK:R's controls is the shake motion to ROLL, BLOW, or GROUND POUND. NSMB Wii, Metroid: Other M, Monkey Ball Wii, Boom Blox, Zack and Wiki, Excite Truck, Wii Sports, Mega Man 9/10, Cave Story are just a few examples of successful Wiimote only control design. ![]() I love a conservative/minimalist control design, and designing for the Wiimote generally achieves these results. ![]() Before I analyze, I will say that the single Wiimote is my favorite gaming controller. From mechanics to level design and beyond.Īt the beginning of a recent article titled Engage, Challenge, Interact, I listed different potential reasons why a critic might claim a game has "bad controls." Being aware of these possibilities has also helped me push past my assumptions to discover what's really going on with DKCR's controls. I'll put everything into focus one step at a time. Furthermore, there's a reason why the internet sustained this quote that Miyamoto never said "Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good." Gameplay is a big topic up for discussion. The idea of "returning" to form requires some insight as to what the original form is, and how the series moved away from it to warrant a return. Understanding how and why are always more important here at Critical-Gaming. Now that you know my DK history, the big question on E3 2010 was, what kind of game is DK returning to exactly?Ĭlaiming that DKCR is awesome doesn't really say much. And many years later, I got all platinum medals in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, one my favorite platformers ever. Wasted a Christmas present on Donkey Kong 64. Throw in some time with the gameboy Donkey Kong Land. I think I played DKC3 just long enough to talk to the Banjo like bear on the river side. I skipped out on DKC2 only to purchase it years later on my Wii. I exhausted DKC as a kid and even participated in a Blockbuster point based competition for the game. Consider what I thought when I first witnessed the E3 announcement of Donkey Kong Country: Returns (DKCR).
