Talk:Donkey Kong Country Returns

This game now exists

 * There is a real donkey kong Wii! Maybe you can't make a article about it yet, but you guys can't have this redirect. 172.163.245.2 (talk)
 * I know that this will be known as a Donkey Kong Country successor, so it will possibly carry that title or something new, it's in development and it's likely to have more information revealed at E3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.66.149 (talk) 11:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Are the things about the plot and characters true? Where are the references?201.163.43.49 (talk) 00:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And also, where are the references for the release date?Javier12345 (talk) 00:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Release Date

 * Don't know how credible a source it is, but on the GameStop website, when you view the page to place DKCR into your cart, it lists the shipment date of 11/1/10. Here's the URL http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=78209 GreenAiden555 (talk) 05:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Online stores aren't considered reliable, since they generally estimate that date entirely on their own. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 15:34, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As I said here, GameStop makes up dates, and they are never right. Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

DKCR comes out November 21 2010. I assume this is the NA release date. 194.78.37.122 (talk) 12:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * IGN lists a couple of release dates for upcoming Wii games: http://wii.ign.com/articles/111/1113375p1.html

Original Composers
Most of the music in this game is arranged from the original Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, but none of the original composers (David Wise, Robin Beanland, Eveline Fischer) are listed. Were they even credited in the game at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.195.119 (talk) 08:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think they were credited. Original composers are not listed in the composer field of the infobox, but can be mentioned in the development section if reliable sources exist. Prime Blue (talk) 14:41, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Bias?
Did anyone writing this article even look to see if there was negative criticism for it? I've look around and seen quite a bit, but nothing that'd probably stand out as a proper source. What about comments on the motion controls? Or giving the player up to 4 Hearts, but then having levels where the slightest tap ended in an instant loss? What about how there's hardly any truly original music since most of it is reused or remixed tracks? I only saw one almost missed mention of criticism at the end of the Reception section. Literally like 1 or 2 sentences out of that whole overly large paragraph. That whole thing practically reads like hype.--68.111.242.222 (talk) 10:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I can see what you're talking about -- I added a {pov} to the section. It needs to be expanded to integrate less "positive" reviews. Salvidrim (talk) 10:53, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Did some more looking, and this is the closest I could find that comments on some of the negative aspects. http://www.gamesradar.com/donkey-kong-country-returns-review/?page=2 I don't think it's quite the right kind of source, though.--68.111.242.222 (talk) 11:51, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * GamesRadar is already said to have given a 8/10 review (but without source, which is bad). Feel free to link this and integrate the review. Salvidrim (talk) 12:02, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I've added the criticism. - RoyBoy 03:39, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
