The addition of an adventure mode was quite a curiosity, but it fit very well with the play. In many ways, Diddy Kong Racing was a better game than Mario Kart 64, which came out earlier in 1997. But Diddy himself is a cool and popular character and he can definitely carry the show. It was a little weird that Diddy Kong is the lead character, and there’s no appearance or even a mention of the top dog Donkey Kong at all. As a result, DKR was the N64 game that Nintendo went all-in marketing that season. Nintendo needed something to sell, and as a result Pro-Am 64 was integrated with new IP, and Diddy Kong Racing was born. In fact, Diddy Kong Racing wasn’t even supposed to be a Donkey Kong game in the first place. Many big titles developed by Rare such as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 were delayed and wouldn’t make it for this holiday season. Nintendo has an exhaustive library of hit titles, and it would not be out of the realm of possibility with Diddy Kong Racing.Ī brief history on Diddy Kong Racing, it came in Q4 1997, right in time for the Christmas shopping season. In recent years, numerous other games from the 1990s have seen remasterings such as Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 3.
There have been rumblings that Nintendo has plans to remaster a trio of Mario games (Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy) on the Switch for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
One game that should be revisited again is Diddy Kong Racing, one of the best selling games on the Nintendo 64. Video game remakes are in vogue and what’s old is new again.
