Sure, there were some home console options, like the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO, but they were either too obscure for third party developers to invest in and suffered from small, lacklustre game libraries (the former’s case) or were overly expensive (the 3DO’s case).
The 32-bit generation was, admittedly, in its infancy, with arcade cabinets like Sega’s “Virtua” line and PC games like Doom being the bulk of its market share at this point. Not only were the major game developers for the SNES and Genesis at their peak for those consoles, but 3D gaming had begun to make its mark both in the arcades and at home. The point is that ’94 was a standout year in video games.
I plan to write about it in the future, so we’ll get into it then. Okay, that last one might be a stretch, but I will say that while it’s certainly flawed, and its premise is ridiculous, Shaq-Fu is not as wholly terrible as the internet has made it out to be. Rare’s platformer revival of Mario’s old rival needed to stand out to sell, as it was hitting store shelves alongside amazing games like Final Fantasy VI, Earthworm Jim, Sonic & Knuckles, Super Metroid, and Shaq-Fu. The first DKC entry hit store shelves for the holiday season of ’94. You tell me if it works in the comments here or on social media. With that in mind, I wanted to do a collective piece about them to illustrate the unique factors of each game while talking about what made the series great as a whole. Each of the three DKC games is its own thing and each offers a similar, but ultimately unique experience from the others.
I know, I know, you’re thinking, “Hey Chris, these are three full games that you could talk about individually, why would you bundle them all into one article?” but bear with me here, I want to try something different. Thank you for reading and supporting the page, and with that, let’s dive in.
