Nintendo Worshippers

What do people think of Donkey Kong 64 though? That game was really a far cry from the Donkey Kong Country 2D platforming days. Definitely followed a Banjo-Kazzoie style formula. That was game was freaking massive, I don't own it though, nor have I played it much. I don't know why, I just never got into it as much.

Me either, I never really did get into that game that much, but then again, I wasn't much of a 3D platformer, I felt a lot of those franchises lost their fun in the jump from flat to "what the hell is that polygon supposed to be?!" I would so pick up Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 over Super Mario 64 in all honesty, much like how I would pick up and play any of the Donkey Kong Country games over Donkey Kong 64.

Franchises like Zelda, and the Final Fantasy series (backstabbing Square), were different, but not bad, in their jump to 3D. They were a different playstyle, but the concept didn't change. You either had fun puzzle solving, or having battles, the only real difference was the exploration, and even that wasn't so different that it tore people from their roots. Now, granted, if you have read ANY of my other posts, you know I am a 2Der to the core, but, I do have to say, not all things were bad in their jump to 3D, just not better (maybe even a little worse, even if I did like it).

And I do have to agree also with Dyluck, I loved the Donkey Kong Racing more than the Mario Kart predecessor .

And thanks to anyone who responded to my post earlier, been busy to respond to the, well, responses, but, thanks, and I did read them (I swear).

Seems like I'm kind of the opposite to you DarkDragoon, I love my 3D platformers, and frankly hate the 2D ones. I actually despise the Mario bros games because I find them boring and there appears to be very little point to the game. Mario 64 however allowed you to explore and try and solve the puzzles involve in getting all the stars and so on. I also enjoyed this in the Banjo games and especially the DK64 game. DK64 is in my opinion the best 3D platformer of all even so then Banjo-Tooie. So although I'm an old skool gamer my system of choice tends to be the N64 and I only tend to play rpgs on the older and newer systems. Action games I tend to find quite uninteresting.
