Diddy Kong Pilot – screenshots, videos, details, and more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, News | 0 comments
Some Nintendo fans may remember Diddy Kong Pilot, a GBA title that would have acted as a sequel to Donkey Kong Racing. Technically the title made it to market, but the final product saw significant changes. The retail release, named “Banjo-Pilot”, swapped out Donkey Kong characters for characters in the Banjo-Kazooie series once Microsoft purchased Rare.
In any case, new screenshots and footage of the original game have emerged… more or less a decade later. We also have some details on cups, commentary from a developer who worked on the project, and more. You can even read about the short-lived character “Crappy Kong”!

I still feel that Twilight Princess is a great-looking game. It doesn’t have the prettiest textures in the world, but let’s remember that it was ultimately a GameCube title. It has great art in any case, which helps things for sure.

Senran Kagura producer shares ideas for a sequel
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki…
“First, more characters! I wouldn’t limit myself to just boobs; I’d nail down the perfect expression of the soft female form by giving the girls smooth, silken hair and clothes and moves that you can almost smell. Gameplay-wise, there are a few things I would insist on doing. Instead of having it just be a simple side-scroller, I would set the camera to better capture the action for each scene. I’d also add co-op and versus play and let players dress the girls up and change how their outfits tear. I’d also change the variety of character voices to heighten the sense that these characters are real. Rather than having a system that says ‘play this voice when doing this action,’ it would be more like having the action voice match the feeling of the story; making them speak with heavy breaths after running, or making them squeal when you… Well,there is a huge pile of things I want to do.”
You know, I could see a sequel happening. The game sold fairly well in its opening week and will probably keep some momentum for the next few months. Usually if a title sells well, that opens the doors for a sequel. We’ll see what happens.
