So we now know that Retro is making a new Donkey Kong Country game and that it is entitled "Tropical Freeze." There has, of course, been some discussion about if Retro made the right choice in developing this instead of Metrioid or something new ... and there has also been some discussion about the subtitle being terrible or sounding like a flavor of icee or snow cone.
IN THIS TOPIC, however, lets put that all aside and discuss what we would / would not like to see in the game.
Here's my list:
1. They're using an oxygen meter for underwater portions. It would be neat if this were used to create some tension in underwater portions of levels -- do you have enough 02 to explore that trench, or will you need to resurface.
2. A Kremling cameo. It's good that Retro allowed the creative freedom make their own antagonists (and the vikings certainly have more personality than the tikis) but the fact remains that many consider K. Rool was one of Rare's more endearing characters and it would be a nice bit of fan service to give throw in a cameo.
3. More "animal buddies." They added some nice variety to the originals. I'd love to see a cast of 3 or 4 in this game. (as far as returning buddies I liked engaurde and the spider the best ... also maybe something that lets you jump high like the frog in the first game or the springy-snake in the second)
4. Bring back Funky Kong and/or give us a new Kong. Obviously people love Funky Kong. New DK games often introduced (for better or for worse) new Kongs ... Retro might as well try thier hand at this.
5. If Cranky returns -- try harder with his dialogue. Sorry but his sayings were pretty lame in DKCR :P
EDIT: For point 3. What if "animal buddies" came in pairs -- one for each player? With Rambi's speed it makes sense that both players would ride him together but with other animal buddies it might make more sense to allow each player their own.
