    So it's Donkey Kong Country Returns, but at 1080p, 60fps, doesn't force the lame motion control gimmicks and is on the Switch so you can play it anywhere. So basically it's the best game ever.

    I like my platformers simple and straight forward. And DKC: Tropical Freeze takes the tried-and-true formula platformers and shines it perfection. On top of consistently clever and varied level design, the game has perfect level of tough but fair difficulty and pretty environments. You can't talk about Tropical Freeze without mentioning the triumphant return of David Wise (who had a big hand in making the first DKC trilogy so memorable). His score is able to convey so much emotion and personality into the game, and really elevates it above most other games in the genre. The boss fights and great too, Bashmaster in particular being one of the best boss fights I've played in years.

    It's easy to overlook this game as yet another 2D platformer, but this one is special and a must own for any Wii U owners.

    Is this game really that hard? My friend Dario said that it isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. He said that the boss battles are hard but the rest is on par with the difficulty of Rayman Legends (I beat Rayman Legends btw). Should I get this game? I don't like hard games that much but since I already completed Rayman Legends I should have no problems playing this game, right? I'm also asking this because Super Mario 3D World was a huge letdown for me and I do not want to pay this much money again for a game that may be good according to the gaming press but which does not appeal to me. I have not played a DK game so far.

      Editing … I haven't played Rayman Legends yet, have beaten Origins, I'd say it's marginally more demanding than that. Not super hard, but it does push back and expects a certain level of competence from the player. I like it, but I think traditional platformers are boring without a certain level of challenge. Unless you want to beat all of the secret levels, some of those can be pretty rage inducing. So yeah I can't really say, reactions seem pretty polarized over the difficulty, despite the fact it's probably somewhat toned down from the last one imo.

      Editing … Thanks for the info! Too bad that there is no demo on the eShop. -.- I guess I'll just wait for a price drop then.

    Really fun game so far, but also kind of hard. My poor bf gets so frustrated being Donkey Kong.

    This game is such a delight to play. Tropical Freeze is a woven in such a way that any sort of player, be it casual or hardcore can have a great time. Retro's level design is unmatched in that they design their levels around the speed runners - seriously, go look up a 1-K or 2-K speedrun - it's god damn incredible. Level design aside, their art and sound direction is top notch, especially with David "God of VGM" Wise back on board. Best 2D platformer since SMB3! Yup :)

    I'm dying to play this but we have to finish Secret of Mana first. x_x I think all we have left is the final dungeon and boss though.

      Editing … I tried it once with keyboard controls and I couldn't get past the first battle, lol. I'll try it at some point when I have a controller for my laptop.
