GameXplain:"Donkey Kong 64 is well-known by Nintendo fans for a variety of reasons, not all of which are positive. And one of those reasons is the game's dubious distinction of being the first Nintendo 64 game to require the use of the Expansion Pak, an accessory that increased the system's memory from 4MB to 8MB. Presumably, this was to allow for better graphics and larger environments, or so we were lead to believe by Donkey Kong 64's TV commercial, which claimed the game was "so big, we had to include the expansion pack to fit it all in."
But the real reason for the Expansion Pak's inclusion might actually be a little less glamerous."
The Never Yak recently had the idea that everyone who works with Nintendo Link should write a small piece on their favorite game soundtracks, and this is such a fun and eclectic collection.
Donkey Kong 64 had issues, but it did plenty right too. The time has come for a new 3D Donkey Kong platformer experience on Nintendo Switch.
Dk64 sucked. They should have kept all the old kongs and did away with that God awful rap. Puff daddy raps better than that.
Diddy is a legend in rap, better out respect on his name. Man was part of some serious classics.
Also the DK rap was iconic. Was it good? Not in the slightest. But that cringe was for the kids and I know at 9 years old I definitely enjoyed it and knew every word lol
Dear God, NO! This was the death of the Donkey Kong Country franchise for me.
Death? You mean the greatest rap song of all time was the death of a franchise? Well, I guess I love the death. haha
Donkey Kong 64 world champion, Connor75, has made a name for himself setting world records, but there was one time he thought he was cursed! Learn more in this interview with Peterdea, an avid Donkey Kong 64 player himself.
Whoa, never knew that!
Aw man, this was the reason I didn't name my kid "Donkey Kong 64." If only I had known, I could have given him such a better life.
I want a sequel so much..... I'd buy a Wii U for that.
Wow. That's random to find out all these years later. I remember not being able to play 4 player on Gauntlet Legends without an expansion pack. Only 3 player.
So then what about Majora's Mask? Why did it require it?
