Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, João Pimenta e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre "Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest". Lançado em 1995 para o Super Nintendo, o jogo é amplamente considerado um dos maiores clássicos da era 16-bits e um dos melhores jogos de plataforma já criados. Desenvolvido pela Rare, o game é a sequência direta do sucesso "Donkey Kong Country" e levou a franquia a novos patamares de qualidade e desafio. Diferente do primeiro jogo, em que Donkey Kong era o protagonista, aqui quem assume o papel principal é Diddy Kong, agora acompanhado por sua parceira Dixie Kong, que se destaca por sua habilidade de planar usando os cabelos como hélice.É o melhor jogo de plataforma de todos os tempos?

I agree with everyone that says this game is stunning to look at and the soundtrack is superb. It's creative and tells a story. Honestly, I like almost everything about Okami. Except, playing it... It definitely has some Zelda DNA in it and that isn't a bad thing at all. You're solving puzzles, acquiring power-ups, running through fields. You get to play as a wolf which is rad. I just didn't find the actual gameplay mechanics that interesting. The paintbrush mechanic is sic, but I feel it was under utilized. The combat is kinda boring. And while the writing is really solid (and funny), there's just a little too much of it. My buddy Bradley McCue returns to the show this week. He's a Zelda diehard and liked Okami a little more than I did. I thought it was a work of art that I just didn't want to play, whereas Bradley thought it lived up to the Zelda DNA coursing through its veins.

Agradecemos a nuestra pedazo de comunidad y damos la bienvenida a los nuevos patreons Carlos García Grancha y Pablo Fernández Cano. ¡Suscríbete y activa la campanita!Este podcast es muy especial, ya que contamos con un invitado de lujo: Raffa Valencia de Rejugando Podcast, con el que hablamos de su historia en el mundo de los videojuegos, y además, nos ayuda a repasar las noticias de actualidad.En Lo Más Fresco arrancamos con la noticia que ha dejado a medio mundo en shock: GTA 6 se retrasa a mayo de 2026. Rockstar prioriza la calidad sobre las prisas, pero el dolor es real. Eso sí, tras darnos un azotito de realidad, también nos da un regalito: compartimos y comentamos el segundo tráiler, capturado en PS5, donde se muestra un Vice City hiperdetallado con Jason y Lucia, NPCs con IA revolucionaria y un humor más ácido que nunca. ¿Lo mejor? Un mundo abierto sin pantallas de carga y parodias de redes sociales que prometen memes eternos. Eso sí: a saber qué precio lo sacan, y la espera hasta 2026 han dejado a la comunidad dividida entre la paciencia y la desesperación.Por otro lado, en Made in Japan viajamos a Retro Barna junto a Raffa Valencia que ha sido parte activa del evento. En Retro Barna se han reunido a leyendas como John Romero, uno de los creadores de Doom. También había zonas para probar clásicos de la época del 8086, Spectrum, Amstrad, e incluso torneos de Street Fighter 6 y hasta un karaoke temático, el ambiente fue una mezcla de nostalgia y locura. Para ello, también han colaborado gente como José Luis Sanz de Hecon con Pixels, Daniel Quesada de Hobby Consolas, Andreu de RM30, y Xavi de Ms-Dos Club.Como siempre, noticias de toda la actualidad: La industria vuelve a sorprendernos con Xbox subiendo precios de consolas y mandos (Series X a 600€), una jugada criticada tras caer sus ventas un 45%. Pero no todo es oscuridad: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brilla como el juego revelación del año (9.2 en Metacritic) y llega a Game Pass junto a Doom: The Dark Ages. Mientras, Gears of War Reloaded pierde su exclusividad y aterriza en PS5, y una filtración revela la ASUS ROG Ally "Xbox Edition", una portátil con Windows 11 y botón dedicado para Game Pass. En Switch 2, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition confirma nuevas clases exclusivas, y muchas noticias más.Y para terminar, en Quemando Controles Raffa nos comparte exclusivas, como que ha podido jugar al nuevo Doom mientras que Nacho ya ha acabado con Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, ¡épico!, mientras Dani revive el terror de Resident Evil 7 y la velocidad de Mirror's Edge.

I'm a pretty big fan of action-platform games, especially some of the classics such as Donkey Kong Country, Crash Bandicoot, and others. The game developers at VEA Games feel the same way as they've made a personal love letter to those titles with the release of Nikoderiko: The Magical World - Director's Cut.

We're talking about the superb Donkey Kong Country Returns this week. DKC Returns is everything I want in a platformer. It plays really well. It's tough as hell (especially if you try to get all the collectibles). The soundtrack is banging, the graphics are good, there's level variety. The name says it all; this really is a return to classic Donkey Kong Country. PENDING RTG Hall of Famer and the Diddy to my Donkey Kong, ye olde Mark McCue is my guest this week. We came at this game from 2 different directions and had 2 very different playthroughs, but met up at the end to agree this is just a hell of a platformer and a game no DKC fan should miss. And before we go banana collecting, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks when I found games started to get a little soft. Should boss fights have their own separate difficulty sliders? And what game series peaked with its first release and then just gradually got worse? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features DK classics: Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, and Donkey Kong '94. Learn more about your ad choices.
