Hell, what was Wise even doing during Rares N64 days? As far as I know, he just did Diddy Kong Racing then didn't do shit for years - He was employed at Rare until at least 2008

It was more like a Banjo game.

Some GameBoy stuff like Mickey's Racing Adventure and the cancelled Dinosaur Planet.

A better question is why didn't he do DKC3?
I wonder if he just ran out of juice after DKC2's big 10/10 soundtrack.

I like his music but people are overly obsessed with David Wise. It's sad how they removed Eveline Fischer's music from DKC3 in the GBA port because people are so obsessed with David Wise.

He was wise enough to know Donkey Kong 64 wasn't going to age well

Sounds like a cop out since half of that depends on the music

It was fun if you wanted to feel "immersed" in the world of DKC but it's hard to come back without that same desire today

kirkhope is good but he couldn't recreate the same feeling in DK64, also his race music is infuriating.

You can play DKC 1-3 just fine with it muted.

and the music of angry aztec begins playing in my head
i hear the kongs vocalizing. tonight, it's chunky.
i see them explore the level. familiar exteriors and interiors. eyched into my memory, intruding my thoughts.
a little kong adventure in my mind.

They removed it because it was too bass-heavy for the GBA's shitty speakers.
