Definitely not in a place where I could splash out money on this new console but I agree with Darren that the new Donkey Kong game looks amazing. Over the moon that DK is being given a second chance in 3D and so far it looks like a nice blend of new ideas with a lot of fun callbacks of the big ape's history. I still have a lot of fondness for the Rare style DK but the sheer expressiveness of the facial animations really give this newer look a lot of personality and have won me over a great deal. Hope Donkey Kong returns to being one of NIntendo's big franchises like it was back in the late 90s.

I also can't put my finger on it, but I also really love the re-design. I also never hated the previous design, so I'm not sure what it is about the new DK that I like so much!
