Retro Gamer editor replays Donkey Kong Country

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrnAcwyUjoI


Retro Gamer is one of my favourite magazines besides NGamer. Here's the editor Darran Jones refamiliarising himself with Donkey Kong Country.

He says he's preparing for a special feature in the magazine that ties in with the release of the new DKC on the Wii. I'm really looking forward to reading it!

At one point during the video he skips Cranky's Cabin, saying he's going to go straight to the boss. The thing is, it was only the end of the first part of the first area's map. Is he less familiar than he thought he was with the game? No matter, as long as he gets more so (and has a bit of fun in the process of course) so he can produce that article with his team.

Here's some interesting DKC trivia for free:
-Like Darran mentioned, Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong and the current Donkey Kong we play as in the game is his son who used to be Donkey Kong Junior.
-Diddy is the current Donkey's nephew.
-Dixie is Diddy's girlfriend.
-Kiddy is Dixie's cousin.

My favourite in the trilogy is DKC3 as that's the one I grew up with. I really hope they don't treat it like it was the "worst" one. None of those games are the worst anything!
