It’s up to Diddy, and his girlfriend Dixie to defeat the reptilian antagonist once more and rescue the hulking ape. Rool has since kidnapped his nemesis Donkey Kong. After his defeat at the end of the last game King K. In a rather daring move Rare pushed aside Donkey Kong and shoved their own creation Diddy in to the spotlight.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest is still one of the best platforming games not only of its era, but of all time. It immediately became one of my favorite games of all time, and I’ve recently returned to it again to see if it holds up better than its predecessor. You’d expect that they would push all their resources on their new console, and I was happy that I could get more mileage out of my SNES. I was very surprised when Nintendo announced and released a sequel just one year later. It’s a good game for sure, but not nearly as amazing as I once thought.
I was a big fan, but I’ve soured a bit on Country over the years. Fortunately it was for the plain old Super Nintendo, but the pre-rendered graphics were like nothing anyone had seen on either 16-bit system at that time. When the original Donkey Kong Country was first shown off onlookers were generally convinced it was a title for Nintendo’s upcoming Ultra 64 console.
