It was Miyamoto who thought he was unpopular.

Can you get a trip already? This is at least the third shallow, garbage thread you've started with a darkened smash render.

Miyamoto has an irrational hatred for characters he hasn't created in his own franchises. Only exceptions are ones created by Gunpei Yokoi's team.

It wasn't made by them and also it starred in games that put Nintendo's to shame.

I'LL DO THIS WITH MY MIND

What happened to all the shitposting against him?

I remember before his reveal that people kept making threads and posts about why he should or will never be playable

AND DO YOU STAMMER STAMMER SEEIN MAH CLAAW

They went from shitposting about him never getting in to shitposting about his status as a bottom tier

I really don't think he's a bottom tier. He's mid-tier easily.

Miyamoto was jealous of Rare basically tranforming his baby DK in what he truly is known for today and wanted to get rid of everything elated to them after MS bought Rare. Slowly Miyamoto saw that his dumb drum playing shit wasnt sticking and slowly started bringing back Rare stuff because it worked (first Diddy, then the Country title with Cranky, later Dixie, and now Krool and the kremlings).

Hopefully whatever civil war between the miyamoto clan and the pro-Rare clan has finally settled and we can have a next game with the proper everything.

They are doing the same but with Geno instead

>almost one decade with no game appearances

Pretty much. Ridleyfags were outcasts and considered retards. Now its genos turn as per tradition. Which if history proves anything, any exposure is good exposure.

Miyamoto is a cunt when it comes to a lot of shit.

Trying to replace him and the kremlings with Tiki's and polar animals was a mistake.

Revealing Lord Fredrik to actually be K. Rool in disguise would've been godly.

I was so hopeful the reason the big frozen guy they kept in secret most of the time was because it was just k rool disguising himself

All I want is a 3rd DKCR with kremlings

>Ridleyfags were outcasts and considered retards.
What world are you living in, retard? People saying it was impossible for him to be in for fucking years are now PROVEN to be fucking retarded. Fuck off.

That's literally what I said you fucking inbred dumb cunt.
