:The problem I have with your argument is that you said, "it could have been this" and "it could possibly have been that" and that's veering on speculation. The only evidence for your claims is that it's seemingly the last DK game until Returns. I also have to refute this with further speculation that it may have been possible that Rare may have another DK game planned before it was bought out by Microsoft; they were even developing Donkey Kong Racing at the time. As far as I know, there isn't much evidence to the "it could have been the grand finale to DK" other than maybe some hindsight due to Rare being bought out. | :The problem I have with your argument is that you said, "it could have been this" and "it could possibly have been that" and that's veering on speculation.

:So in my opinion, yes, DK64 is some sort of spiritual successor to DKC like how Yoshi's Story is to Yoshi's Island: they are both very similar games to their precedents but they also have significant key differences that make them stand out on their own. It even mentions in the [[Donkey Kong 64]] article in the beginning as a follow-up to the Donkey Kong Country games, which is precisely what it is. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 23:00, 4 March 2015 (EST) | :So in my opinion, yes, DK64 is some sort of spiritual successor to DKC like how Yoshi's Story is to Yoshi's Island: they are both very similar games to their precedents but they also have significant key differences that make them stand out on their own.

:: First off, "follow-up" and "sequel" are basically the same thing: a continuation. | |||
:: Second, the article for DK64 may acknowledge it, but all the other articles scarcely acknowledge its existence unless it was specifically associated with that game. Heck, the Kremling Krew's article didn't even mention what they did in DK64 until I added a couple paragraphs describing it just a few days ago. I mean, did everyone else that actually ''played'' the game die or something? I'm aware that the Wiki's editors can't go around checking every game that's been released, but at least a sentence or two would be nice. Donkey Kong 64 is more than 15 years old right now, so it seems silly that only a few articles actually acknowledge its content past a tiny summary at the most. | |||
:: Bottom line: DK64 deserves more acknowledgment than what it's getting.[[Special:Contributions/65.29.237.60|65.29.237.60]] 04:45, 5 March 2015 (EST) | |||
