This whole implict "there is no redesign" shtick is so corny. They changed the Switch's profile icon of DK to a completely different face than it used to be.

i wonder how many people said this kind of stuff about rare's initial redesign anyway, i like it well enough. it's really not that drastic of a change, and frankly, rare's "cOoL" perpetually scowling DK was never as good as people think, you're just used to it --- We will leave this place an empty stone ...

Theres a few things I dont like about the redesign, but I can live with it, it has its pros. Now the Bananza art style? Maybe the ugliest thing Ive ever seen.

It's weird to me that Bananza is game that they went with for the redesign. 90's Donkey Kong was "aggressive" looking by design. That was just how things were marketed back then. Then you release a game all about wrecking shit and that's when you try to make him more like a big teddy bear? I mostly don't like how his fur looks to be honest.

Thank you for making this thread. I absolutely hate it too but it felt like I was alone in that opinion. I brought up that I wasnt a fan on Smashboards and every other user said it was an improvement or that nothing changed. I still bought the game because the gameplay looks fun but Im no longer a fan of the character. DKC2 is one of my favorite games ever and I really liked DK before but hes giving me serious Son of the Mask vibes now (trying hard to be Looney Tunes and missing what made those cartoons endearing). --- 3DS FC: 0705-3479-0625 Friend Safari: Aipom, Minccino, Smeargle ...
