Rare Appreciation Thread

[Kosheh]

The only game I really care about Rare is DKC2 to be honest. Some of their other games are ok but nothing that really catches my attention.

I'm quoting this post because of how freaking close it is to my own opinions. As much as I wanna bash Rare, there is no denying that DKC2 is literally perfect.


If you stranded me on an island with only one console and game, it'd have to be a SNES with DKC2 in it. Hell, I just bought the Japanese version of the game on eBay (as I misplaced my original copy and I was kinda curious of the localization changes), and I'm currently playing the same title across three separate consoles. Like, why.
Because this game is just platforming perfection.
Everything was just improved so much that it puts the original to shame, and not even the third game (which more or less brings back DK's mechanics) can't even stand a chance of topping it IMO, to the point where it just feels like half of the game's material was just rehashed from the second game. :/
