Do you hear that distant thunder? Is the drumming caught in your ear? Look out - he's back! The classic Nintendo ape is reborn in what may be the most stunning game we've seen in ages. Donkey Kong Country is a Rare-developed title, made over in the U.K. by a handful of ingenious programmers, and will be the first Super NES game to use fully rendered visuals - and at blisteringly fast speeds, no less! 3-D graphics, the kind promised by 32-Bitters, is here on ol' reliable 16-Bit. No special chips, no intricate add-on hardware. Some thought this was an Ultra 64 demo on first glance, but Howard Lincoln himself assured us that this is a true-blue SNES game. DKC exhibits buttery-smooth scrolling gameplay, rock-solid platforming, and, as evident by Jet's request for a CD at CES, exceptional ambient music. You have got to see it to believe it. DKC is set to launch in November.
