CryZENx, best known for his Zelda: Ocarina of Time recreations in Unreal Engine 4, is currently working on a Diddy Kong Racing fan remake in Unreal Engine 4. And while there isn’t still any download link for it, below you can find its first screenshots.
Diddy Kong Racing was originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1997. The game is set in “Timber’s Island” and revolves around Diddy Kong and his friends’ attempt to defeat the intergalactic pig-wizard antagonist, Wizpig, through winning a series of races.
Now we don’t know which characters this Unreal Engine 4 fan remake will let players choose from and if it features any tracks from the original game or if it stays true to the original N64 version. In fact, we don’t know whether CryZENx will release this tech demo to the public at all. CryZENx promised to release a video for this remake this Saturday so at least the game’s fans will get to see it in action.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Incoming a cute letter from Nintendo for this project.
How strange that a company would want to protect something their IP….Weird its almost like they created it and own it or something……Its hilarious how many people complain about C&D letters but IF those same people even had a thimble worth of creativity and made something, they would want every little penny they were owed and deserved from it.
Very Good!!!
I loved that game. Part of the reason I enjoyed Sonic Racing Transformed so much is because it reminded me as much of DKR as Mario Kart.
Yeap, you are right. Instead of bringing you new content, we should publish meaningless Top 10 lists each and every day like most other websites do. We should also dedicate an entire article for each game of our Top 10 (you know, just so we can have ten stories instead of one). Shame on us for not bombarding you with such articles.
He’s actually right though, I’d rather no news than this crap.
I appreciate your work.
