Like, maybe I've seen one once? And now it's ubiquitous because of the Minecraft Movie it's hilarious.

I've seen them a handful of times, but they're still like, one of the rarest things in the game, period. They make Spider Jockeys look common by comparison.

Heck, I think I've actually seen more Chicken Jockeys that were being ridden by Baby Zombie Piglins instead of regular Baby Zombies. That can probably be chalked up to Zombie Piglins being the most common and most frequently spawning mob in the Nether, where most spots are always dark by default, whereas Zombies can only spawn in the comparatively limited darkness in the Overworld and have to compete with several other hostile and neutral mobs to spawn.

One fact is that they are technically not even in the Bedrock version as a random spawn since that version of Minecraft has a unique gimmick where baby zombies can ride a mob when targeting a player which includes the chicken. So they are even more rare if that mechanic counts.

Compared to Bedrock where it’s the opposite because it’s not possible in Bedrock unlike Java according to the Wiki. Maybe by commands?

It's nice to know inventory isn't gonna be a problem but we still don't know if the price is gonna change.

I don't hate the japanese. I'm actually like really into their culture and folklore. I just know that when animating characters they pull from a different set of stock iconography and tropes that they just don't do in the west. Like just compare mario and co in Odyssey vs. in the the Mario + Rabbids games and you can just tell one was japanese and one was not. And since Donkey Kong has had that distinctly western animation language since country, changing it to the asian perspective just feels... uncanny. One isn't inherently better or wore than the other but they are different and I don't think the one fits Donkey Kong all that well. Like even in the Smash trailers with K. Rool's sleeping nose bubble, it just feels wrong for these characters. And maybe that's part of the reason they changed all the designs so much, so they wouldn't look weird doing these new expressions from another visual language. But I still don't think it looks right.

It was clear I was joking earlier with the Daima comparison and you got up in arms about that, then you wanted to make a whole tirade about it.

K.Rool with a sleeping nose bubble was on screen for like 2 seconds at most and it was that much was issue for you? Like I'm trying to sympathetic with you here, but this is veering into "Why are Sonic's eyes GREEN? REEEEEEE!!" territory really quickly. Especially since most of his in-game animations are a more fighting-gamey take on some of his DKC animations.

Multiple series have changed their artstyles. Zelda, Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider. You can obviously have a favorite. I know I like the hand-drawn art in MM7 more than the other games, but I still find something to appreciate about the other titles' visual identities.

Maybe it feels like Rare’s baby to you, but Rare hasn’t worked with the series since the turn of the millennium. That doesn’t mean ditch everything they created (which they notably haven’t done even though they’ve had plenty of opportunities) but I don’t think the series has to be so beholden to the whims of a studio that hasn’t had any say for years, to the point where Nintendo can’t do anything new without making sure it passes “the Rare test” which is completely arbitrary and varies depending on the sensibilities of each individual fan.

Now I can’t tell the future. Who knows, maybe another western studio will make a DK game. It’s possible. But the whole reason they took Donkey Kong internally is because they were sick of him being bounced around from studio to studio. They wanted him to get consistent game releases with one developer, not counting possible spin offs. But there hasn’t even been room for spin offs because the franchise is always getting tossed to a new studio and having to be reinvented.

At least this way DK can stop starting from scratch and have room to grow again, for the first time in decades really. I’d rather the series be taken in by a Japanese team that’s passionate about working on it then them pushing it onto another western studio who’ll make a couple games and then ditch the series again.

Retro's games didn't have a ton of new designs to pull comparisons from as it is. Most of its strongest art assets come from level art, imo. You can't tell me people give much of a damn about the Tiki tribe. Fredrick was cool enough I guess. But even then the generic enemies had a pretty different design philosophy from the 90's games. Eyes being more sunken in and beady. Like that first boss looked more like something from Rayman than DK's Rare titles Same with the Crab trio. While Jungle beat, at least the other Kongs looked like DK characters, but the rest of it was kind of there.

No but that kind of different is okay because a western studio did it 👍

Look I don’t know what to say. I still feel how I feel about the designs and the animations of these characters but I don’t see the point of me shouting about it for the next 8 hours when you guys clearly don’t agree.

Are there any other celebrities favored by… whoever got Ronaldo and Salvatore into Fatal Fury that we could be expecting. (I’m not trying to dodge judgement or anything I just genuinely forget who owns both SNK and Ronaldo’s soccer league). I’m just saying it would be good to have an idea of who we could be expecting.

Seeing all these Youtube vids of theaters EXPLODING over Chicken Jockey, many of which being full theaters, I can believe smaller crowds could stage it sure but, some of these vids feel legit genuine.



Chicken Jockey was the one thing people didn't know that they needed I guess.

Well, being a part of something at the very least. I did get annoyed at the people who intentionally made a huge mess in the theaters. But times are also tough so finding something to have fun with is fine too.

One “Soyjak Group” is claiming responsibility for it and has already posted said list of emails and IP addresses. It’s on a Tor link.

“We”? :061:

Twitter has been taken down and hacked, a lot, the problem for 4chan is that their entire staff (that works for free btw) got leaked and their entire infrastructure (that was inexpensive and was a heavily outdated & simple php file) would need to be entirely rebuilt, which costs a lot of money they probably don’t have. I don’t think they’re coming back from this unless a third party buys it out.

Let's have a moment of silence for all of the uncles who work at Nintendo that we have lost.

I’ve seen 3 new mega pokemon leaked via actually images.

while the quality isn’t great you can still make out most of their features.

And I have to say….

Gamefreak is not cooking so far. I hope the final designs and clearer images will make it work, but so far I’m not to keen on any of the ones we have seen.

Now please don’t mess my boy Failinks up Gamefreak. I will be very disappointed if you do.
