I like it better than the first DKC.
TenHOST
I like it better than DKC3.
TenHOST
It just, it's a, it's the perfect one for that era.
TenHOST
And but the PlayStation 2, I, I, I wish I copied your homework 'cause I would've gone with that.
Hyle RussellHOST
I was thinking, what more do I have to say? And this was where I was for most of the summer until September started creeping up on us.
Hyle RussellHOST
And the more I thought about it, the more I was thinking about the 30th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country 3.
Hyle RussellHOST
And... how I was feeling three decades ago.
Hyle RussellHOST
And I realized it's not really a complete nostalgic trip back to 1996 unless we make this pit stop in Donkey Kong Land 2 because so much of the Donkey Kong Country 3 hype cycle, especially if you lived outside of the Americas, factored in Donkey Kong Land 2 so heavily.
Hyle RussellHOST
They were kind of like a pair.
Hyle RussellHOST
And I was like, oh, all right, fine.

CourtneyGUEST
Get me out of this hell.
Hyle RussellHOST
There's no way my life can get any worse than six months without knowing when the next Donkey Kong game is going to be.
Hyle RussellHOST
developed in mind for the Super Nintendo.
Hyle RussellHOST
This dates to late 1995, but mostly 1996, following Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Conquest, and was developed pretty much concurrently with Donkey Kong Country 3.
Hyle RussellHOST
This is the first iteration of Project Dream that... from this, over the span of about a year, would evolve into Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64.
Hyle RussellHOST
And if you don't know why we're discussing this again, after already going over everything we thought we knew back in 2016, it's because a demo of of Dream Land of Giants, a ROM, lacking anything much in the way of gameplay and featuring four...
13 MINS LATER
Hyle RussellHOST
I do admire the gusto, though, of wrapping DKC2 and thinking, yeah, we can get one more out on the Super Nintendo.
Hyle RussellHOST
Why not? And, like...
Hyle RussellHOST
For those wondering, yes, Donkey Kong Country 3 was going to go on no matter what.
Hyle RussellHOST
It was decided that that would be helmed by a mostly new creative team.

Scuba SteveHOST

Scuba SteveHOST
We're talking Mario Kart 64.
Scuba SteveHOST
Blow in that cartridge, grab your favorite color controller.
Scuba SteveHOST
I just, I don't care anymore.
Scuba SteveHOST
i do i mean not that i have an identity worth stealing or money to take but my method for that is every day i wake up and the first thing i do on my phone is check my bank app and then because i've been you gotta do you find that subscription still going you don't want you can cancel that crap you'll know if anybody's trying to rip you off you're checking that bank account um anyway other than that let's get into gaming memories um 1997 It might have been the best year in local multiplayer just ever.
Scuba SteveHOST
When you're talking about growing up with video games, I was 13 back then, like right at the rise of those mature big boy games on the PlayStation and the perfect time to play with three other friends on the N64.
Scuba SteveHOST
Whether those people stayed your friends could be a matter of what game you're playing and whether or not you picked Oddjob when you're playing multiplayer Goldeneye.
Phil RainHOST
No, he wasn't a Donkey Kong 64 cast member.
Phil RainHOST
He never showed up again outside of Donkey Kong Country 3.
Phil RainHOST
Oh, let's see.
Phil RainHOST
But yeah, Dixie's nephew or something like that.
JohnHOST
So, yeah, definitely a cheaper option available on another platform for that one.
JohnHOST
So, you know what's better than Donkey Kong Country 2? What? Donkey Kong Country 3? Donkey Kong Country 3.
JohnHOST
I will get crapped on by everybody possible for this one.
JohnHOST
But this is easily my favorite Donkey Kong Country game.
Hyle RussellHOST
But yeah, lots of stuff ahead.
Hyle RussellHOST
Of course, autumn represents the 30th 30th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country 3.
Hyle RussellHOST
Not every year.
Hyle RussellHOST
In fact, just this autumn.
Hyle RussellHOST
Thanks for having me.
Joy ContentGUEST
I'm glad someone lets me talk about Donkey Kong Country 3.
Hyle RussellHOST
Somebody lets you, yeah.
Hyle RussellHOST
There's a lot of people who just aren't willing to let people have their say about the most underrated entry in the Donkey Kong Country trilogy.
Hyle RussellHOST
Although, is this iteration of Donkey Kong Country the most underrated? underrated in this iteration of the trilogy.
Hyle RussellHOST
We'll get to that because Donkey Kong Country 3's 30th anniversary is later this year.
Hyle RussellHOST
It's coming up in November.
Hyle RussellHOST
And...
