Quote, when it comes to the character creation and working with characters, I still take an active role in that, he explained. In looking back to the first generation Donkey Kong Country, we worked with Rare to create Donkey Kong Country. Yes, okay, I didn't get it wrong.

We worked together with the team that made 3D Mario. With that technology that was available at that time, we were able to make Donkey Kong more expressive. And going back to the design that Rare came up with, we re-evaluated. What can we do with the design to make it more expressive?

And then when it comes to the movie, we decided to move forward with this new generation of Donkey Kong design, end quote.

Quote, I don't understand why there's any debate to be had, Bayless wrote.

It's still Donkey Kong, only better looking. People need to embrace change more. All good things get better with age. Parentheses, I would say that though, since I've been doing this for almost 40 years now. Everyone give a big warm welcome to the new DK.

You know who else they care about? Diddy Kong! We go to Chris Scullion at VGC. A new render on the Nintendo website gives users a better look at Diddy Kong's redesign. If I have to hear Blessing talk about Diddy Kong one more time. The render, which can be seen on the character's page of the store section of the U.S. Nintendo Store, shows Donkey Kong running and Diddy holding onto his shoulder.

It's been known for some time that Donkey Kong has been given a redesign, but All we've seen in the new Diddy until now is a separate low resolution render, which was added to the Nintendo site last week. The new render gives a better look at the new Diddy Kong.

When the low-res render was released, Kevin Bayless, who of course we just talked about, came up with all that stuff, said, Thank you, Nintendo, for improving your Diddy Kong character and being sympathetic towards my original design. They both now look better than ever. I can now rest in peace. Other aspects remain unknown, however.

Last week's low render appeared to show Diddy's cap now has a round badge on the side with his own logo on it, rather than the Nintendo logo emblazoned on the front of the cap. As was also the case in the cameo appearance in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Neither that render or this one give a proper look at the cap in full, however. The mystery of Diddy Kong continues.
