Default Donkey Kong 64

I was just thinking about this game a few minutes ago and I'm dying to play it again!

It was one of my favourites in the N64 days but I never actually got round to completing it and to do so on the VC would be oh so sweet

The thing I enjoyed most about was playing as all of the 5 kongs, their weapons and the animals they transformed into, and even though many people thought it was too much of a collect em-up, I really liked the game.

Any others looking forward to the release (if and when it happens)?

DK64 is one of the best non-RARE platformers on N64

But it was a RARE game... I hope the licensing issues don't affect it's release, though DKC1/2 should mean it will arrive.

Nah, Licencing should be no problem. Nintendo owns DK so they have the right to put any DK game on the VC reguardless of who made it.

Wonder if arcade DK and Jetpac will still be in it... o.o

DK 64 was one of the most overrated N64 games...I love Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, CBFD and DKC1-3, but DK 64 was just average at best in my opinion.

Yeh, but I don't think they'll cut out Arcade DK

If anything, they'll cut out Jetpac. They'd have no reason to cut out the original arcade DK.

Theres only one reason they d take DK out and thats the NES DK on the VC. But yeah, its unlikely they ll take it out. Would mean we d get the almighty missing level. XD

Why would they cut out the original Donkey Kong when it's already on the virtual console?
