So, I never realized that Amazon sells used products. This is incredible.I got this game for less than half price and the condition is flawless. The disc itself is in mint condition and the case looks brand new.I'd give more stars if I could.10/10 would recommend and will buy from them again!

Es un juego completamente nuevo, no mal interpreten pero su calidad es como los años maravillosos de nintendo, es muy divertido y en pantallas, misiones, niveles como ese que es a contraluz en una pequeña selva (similar a esa de contraluz ya famosa en la playa de donkey kong country return) uno se da cuenta que los años maravillosos de nintendo no han terminado, en un mundo de jugar solo y serio, nintendo sigue haciendonos jugar en grupos enamorarnos de los modos de juego y los detalles, cada nivel dura en verdad 15 min si vas directo al final, si buscas los secretos pues puedes vivir en cada uno, amor inmediato por un juego practicamente regalado.

I have played it twice all the way through. I'm quite glad it's possible to play with the wii remote, as I much prefer that to the unused gamepad. The difficulty curve is just right and the gameplay is just as good as DKC: Returns, if not better.What makes this game truly outstanding in my books is the look and feel. Every part of the design from the menus to the enemies to the environment to each member of the kong crew is so lush and bursting with personality, it's almost impossible to play it without a silly grin on your face. The feeling is greatly enhanced by (what is in my opinion) the greatest video game soundtrack to date, by the incredibly talented David Wise. Levels like Windmill Hills, Grassland Groove, Panicky Paddles, and Seashore War are among the most enjoyable platforming experiences, ever.If you want a hardcore platformer, this is a good buy, especially once you start digging into hard mode and time trials. If you want an experience that is a smorgasbord for the senses, this game delivers like no other.

Grew up playing these old donkey Kong games on SNES. and these tiltes. DKC returns Wii. DKC tropical Freeze Wii u. Are very great. Fast paste playing then Mario titles. Get to play with your friends in co-op play. Or by yourself. Retro studios have modifly the game in a great way. For players to explore the inconic DK and his friends in a classic side scrolling experience. Tons of levels and collecting for bonus contents. Recommended for anyone with a classic taste. And new players alike.

I was never a donkey kong fan, his googly eyes and gorilla demeanor scared me whenever I'd see him in other games like SSB4 or MK8. But I decided to go on a limb for this game because of the glowing reviews from everyone.I know see what they were talking about.Great gameplay that IS ACTUALLY CHALLENGING, other nintendo games (most notably: Super Mario 3D World) have gameplay that is meant for easy and casual playing with family. The bosses are the highlight in this game, it's been awhile since I've been challenged on such a level in platformers. DK moves like a momentum filled boulder, he can dash really quick but not jump really high and that creates a unique play style that I've not seen before (mainly because this is my first DK game).I have no idea how the multiplayer is, just saying.It has a nice aesthetic that varies from world to world and everything runs smoothly.If you were hesitant, like me, go out on a limb and buy this game, you won't regret.

Decent enough game, but it is boring me pretty fast.doesnt have that same old school feel the old day ones had... i got this near launch and i think i play a level a week.im not even half done this game, it doesnt hold me, which is pretty rare.so... i got my SNES out of the crawl space and played DK on there.it was so fun and my wife sat with me and ended up doing it together, we almost beat it in one sitting, it was fun...this game is lacking, sorry fanboys, being honest.

It is here, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze! So far, it is an excellent game. Here is my initial review of the game so far. I’ve completed level one to bring you this review as soon as possible after waiting until 1PM for the UPS guy to deliver it. I might come back to add to the review once I’ve beaten the game to give more details about how many levels and sublevels there are.There are some SPOILERS, so be warned!..Game Files: There are three of them like always. It tells you what level you are standing on, how much of the game you have completed and how many lives you have. Clicking on one brings you to a scroll that has you choose between playing on the TV or the Gamepad. Then you select one or two player (second player controls Diddy, Dixie or Cranky).Story: I like this story, which is not just the “They stole our bananas, get them!” story we usually see in the DK Country series. I like that there are invaders and there is no mention of stolen bananas anywhere. I think this adds to the game, making it more interesting. Basically, invaders from the artic kick the Kongs out of their home and make it an icy place. I like it.Starting the Game: When you start a new file, it immediately goes into a cut scene. The cut scene is the trailer where you see DK’s birthday party but with some more added on. You start the very first level right away (won’t tell you how ) so be prepared to take action.Controls: I have only used the Gamepad so far and will try out the other controllers later. But, the controls feel good. They are not awkward at all and you get used to what button does what pretty quickly. Here’s how they work: Just DK: A/B jump, X/Y ground pound, X/Y + left or right is rolling, ZR/ZL grabbing. With Diddy and Dixie Kong holding A/B becomes hover mode, while tapping the A/B button twice then holding with Cranky lets you jump higher on his cane (but you can’t jump and then do it, it won’t work). With all three, pressing R/L when the meter to the left gets full causes them to high five and kill enemies around you by turning them into life balloons, hearts (red or gold), coins or bananas. You can use the left C-stick (the right one does nothing) or the D-pad to move around. I’m assuming that the Pro Controller is the same while the Wii Remote/Nunchuk will include some motion control like in DK Country Returns.Touch Controls: There are no touch controls. You cannot touch anything on the Gamepad, even in the menu, to do something. I’m a little used to New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario 3D World which uses touch controls for some things. That is a little disappointing. They have this touch screen device and they should have used it!Music: Like always, the music is upbeat and fun, even when things get a little hairy. Outside of the level, the music is pretty loud, but you can kind of hear the background noise of the island you are on. You can change this in the options. There is also some retro music from the original DK Country, won’t tell you where, you’ll have to find it for yourself! But even then, the music reminds me of the music in the original DK Country.Graphics: The cut scene graphics are very detailed. You can the individual hairs on DK’s arms blowing in the wind! Everything looks great. I have seen no pixilation anywhere. Even the DK you play is very detailed. I’d say the graphics are a lot better than DK Country Returns. For instance, the water in and out of the level looks so real. The graphics have gone up a lot.Map Layout: You remember in DK Country Returns how there was a coin with DK’s picture on it instead of there being the actual characters running around on the lap like all the other had games? That is gone and DK and Diddy are back to walking around on the map. The layout is much like the New Super Mario Bros. U map with uncompleted sublevels being red and completed being blue, and with forks in the path you travel on. Although, I do wish DK would pound his chest and yell when you leave him alone for a while on the map like he did in DK Country. He just seems to bob along to the music. I like this layout better than DK Country Returns. It kind of has the same feel as the original, if you know what I mean.Candy Kong and Save Points: She’s not here, again. There is no need for her since you don’t have to beat a boss or a certain level to save your game. It automatically saves every level you beat, so you do not need to worry about losing your progress when you quit. But, I’ve always liked Candy Kong Save Points, I wished they’d bring her back like in the first DK Country where once you get to her in a level, you can go back to her time and again to save. But, oh well, maybe next time she’ll be back.Level Starts: A scroll appears with two options—Play Level and Inventory. Y’all know what Play Level means (it does lead to another scroll that has you confirm that you want to play a level or not). Inventory is new. Apparently you can choose three items to take with you that you buy from Funky Kong.Time Attacks: When you have completed a level and replay it, there is now another option—time attacks. You go back and try to beat the level within a set time limit. There are three, the fastest gets you the gold, the second silver and the third bronze. What happens is that your score is then sent to the leaderboards online for everyone to look at. Time attacks are hard. I have yet to even get a bronze medal for level 1.1. But it is fun to try.Check Points: Again, this is run by a pig instead of breaking open a barrel. I don’t get it. No, seriously, what it with the pig? If they wanted to put someone there for the mid-level check points, why not have Candy Kong? When you die and come back at a checkpoint or even the beginning of the level before you have reached a checkpoint, you float down on a balloon. That’s cool, but I liked when he used to burst out of the barrels.Collecting Items: Bananas- Like always, get a hundred bananas you get a life. Sometimes, when you collect a group of individual bananas in a level they turn into a coin. Coins- You use them to buy items for your inventory. Puzzle pieces- I have no idea what happens, I have never collected all of them before. KONG- Collect the letters and you get a life. I kinda like how they added the coins and puzzle pieces because it gives you more to do in a level.Bonus Games: Collect all the banana you get a puzzle piece, a red balloon and a coin. They’re a little hard than previous games.Lives in the Level: Like in DK Returns, you get two hearts with DK and four with DK and Diddiy/Dixie/Cranky. You lose two hearts with Diddiy/Dixie/Cranky, they take off. With Dixie, when you do the L/R high five slap, enemies turn into gold hearts which gives you an extra hit.Level Endings: A barrel overs in midair and has several items whirling by. You hit it to get an item and that ends the level. Hit a banana, you press X/Y quickly to get as many as you can. After that happens, you see the characters on a pedestal next to a results scroll that show you if you collected all of the KONG letters and puzzle pieces. It’s more interesting that running into a cave at the end. Also note, like with Mario games, some levels have more than one exit. I like that, because it makes you explore the level instead of rushing through it.Water Warning Spoiler: You know back in the day when characters could breathe underwater for forever? You never had to worry about how quickly you were going or having to get something to give you more time. Not anymore. DK has an air indication next to where the lives are, run out and you die. You gotta get to air bubbles to refresh the indicator. I’m not sure if I like this. But, DK swims like a champ, much better than in the original.Enemies: There are new enemies in this game, just like there were in DK Country Returns. A few of the enemies don’t make sense to me. The invaders are creatures from icy climates, yet you have some birds and bugs that seem out of place. But I like the new enemies, they are different from the other games which is refreshing.Funky Kong: He’s here and he’s huge, like, as big as DK! Didn’t he used to be a skinny dude? Whatever. His plane is back, but you don’t hop on it to get to another island, but instead, you can buy stuff from him. Green Balloons (will sometimes save you when you fall) or Blue Balloons (extra air), a bird (finds puzzle pieces), a shield (protection), a bottle (makes you temporarily invincible), heart (extra health), Diddy Kong/Dixie Kong/Cranky Kong Barrels (lets you start a level with them or the appear if you lose the one you have). And you can collect toys.I love the DK Country series. The only one I never got was the N64 game because I could never find it. A lot of things are the same, some have been lost, and a lot has been added. The game is fun and I can’t wait to get further along. It is a great addition to the series and if you love DK, you’ll love the game.

Remember when you first played Super Mario Galaxy 1 on the Nintendo Wii? Remember how amazingly fun that game was due to how different and unique the game played? Most of all, I am sure you remember the fact that Mario Galaxy 1 was pretty easy? Even though it was easy, it was still a GREAT and FUN game to play because Nintendo did a great job with making the Wii Remote/Nunchuk controls work really well with Super Mario Galaxy 1. After you collect all the stars, re-beat the game with Luigi, etc there is not much else right? Finally Super Mario Galaxy 2 is announced and eventually released. Super Mario Galaxy 2 BLEW anyone that beat Super Mario Galaxy 1 socks OFF! Super Mario Galaxy 2 is what the dedicated Mario gamer was looking to play because not only did Super Mario Galaxy 2 blew Super Mario Galaxy 1 away, it also gives you that GREAT satisfaction feeling of completing the levels/game due to how challenging Super Mario Galaxy 2 was at the time. Anyone that has completed Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 will know that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was hands down the best of the two thanks to how awesomely creative, challenging, rewarding and FUN the game was to hardcore nintendo mario gamers.Now fast forward to Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Nintendo Wii because if you are reading this, then you will know how much fun that game was to play on the Wii, correct? Most of all, it was a LONG time coming because there has yet to be a great Donkey Kong Country game since the first three Donkey Kong Country games on the Super Nintendo were absolutely phenomenal. Besides how great and fun Donkey Kong Country Returns was for the Nintendo Wii, it did felt easy for true hardcore nintendo donkey kong fans. Even though we still loved and praised the game, we just can't help but think that the game could of been a little bit more harder or challenging ya know? Well guess what? Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is HERE and YES the hype is true! I, myself and others I am sure were on the fence about buying Tropical Freeze because of how easy Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii was back then but I am glad I bit the freaking bullet.....I mean BANANA...because Tropical Freeze is absolutely SPECTACULAR! BUT most of all, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is the CHALLENGE that you have been waiting for since Donkey Kong Country 3 for the SNES because when I say Tropical Freeze is challenging, I ain't kidding! You ever notice when you play the first few levels, you always collect EVERY letter, balloon or the puzzle pieces as well because you just want to find them all before you complete the level? I always end up doing that and have been successful at that for a LONG time until Tropical Freeze first level was completed, I realized I was STILL missing 2 puzzle pieces! This shocked me because every single Donkey Kong Country game that I have played, I always end up successfully finding the hidden stuff in the first few levels due to wanting to explore, take my time, enjoy, etc. but when you play the first level of Tropical Freeze, I am going to bet 99% of the people do not end up finding all of the Puzzle pieces or KONG letters or both during their first time completing the level! Of course they will probably be able to find whatever they are missing the 2nd time they replay the level but I am not kidding, I honestly believe you will not find all those puzzle pieces or kong letters during you're first attempt of completing the 1st level or more levels of world 1.what else? well I know there is sadly, WAY too many negative nancy's that care more about the graphics than the GAME itself wanting to know if the graphics are good or whatever. Read my words, are you kidding me!??! THIS IS DONKEY KONG COUNTRY FOLKS! OF course the graphics are going to look good, so QUIT worrying about that and focus on the more important part of the game which is the GAME itself!The music? HOLY CRAP! If you always enjoyed Donkey Kong Country soundtracks since the first DKC game for the Super Nintendo, then you are in for a VERY special treat my fellow DKC gamer! Also, did I mention there is alot of great extras/unlockables? I wont spoil that part cause trust me, you will want to see it in person by yerself rather than cheating by watching a full playthrough of the game via youtube or whatever lol.If you are skeptical about buying Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, then do not worry because there is no excuse to not buy DKC Tropical Freeze since this brand new spanking game is only $49.99!!! Smart play and decision by Nintendo because I can't be the only one thinking that this game could or should of been $59.99 but that's not the case. Also, for the record if this game was $59.99, I would of still bought it!I am absolutely SHOCKED that Nintendo did not promote the online mode for DKC tropical freeze. I know what you are thinking, "WAIT WHAT? DONKEY KONG COUNTRY HAS ONLINE MODE???" Then guess what? YES! It is true! DKC tropical freeze DOES indeed have online mode. First off, do NOT get sad about the fact that online mode does not include co-op gaming because if you really think about it, Donkey Kong Country already has co-op mode locally! Plus, I don't see myself playing a co-op game of Donkey Kong Country with some random player I don't even know. Anyways, why did I mentioned that Donkey Kong Country tropical freeze has online mode? Well, after you complete any levels in the game, the level itself will unlock a time trial option but the best part is the fact that you can UPLOAD you're fastest completion time of whichever level via ONLINE! After you upload you're best completion time for whichever level, the game will display an online leaderboard ranking! Plus, it will show the person that is playing what they are ranked as right away!But that's not all! Have you ever wanted to see how fast any of the levels can be beaten? Well, the online leaderboards allow the players/gamers to select ANYONE that has submitted their best times and you have the option to WATCH THE ENTIRE REPLAY of the fastest player beating any of the DKC levels! Let me tell you something, you will be SHOCKED and AMAZED on how insanely fast some of the best Donkey Kong Country players in the world can do. It is seriously pure shocking to watch the reply, you will FULLY understand what I mean and feel after you watch you're first replay video of whichever level you want to see being completed in record times by hardcore DKC players!Before I end this review, please do yourself a favor by purchasing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for the Nintendo Wii U by either buying the retail disc box version OR please visit the Wii U Eshop and download the game to you're Wii U because i promise you that Donkey Kong Country tropical freeze is a game that you can proudly have stored on you're Wii U main channel page with all of the other games/apps you may have downloaded. I got this game as a gift via disc retail package, even though I am just a TINY bit disappointed about that because I wanted to download Tropical Freeze to my Wii U, so that I don't have to change discs if ya know what I mean hahahaha.In conclusion, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a MUST buy game for any Wii U owners that are looking for something to keep them playing for months due to how rewarding and challenging this game is compared to the Donkey Kong Country Returns Wii game back in 2010. Were you left wanting more levels, more challenging and more rewarding feelings from completing the game/levels? Then buy Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze ASAP or you might as well just get rid of you're Wii U since you're Wii U doesn't deserved to be played if you didn't put in some DKC tropical freeze time in the Wii U. I am not joking, if you do not play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze on you're Wii U by the end of this month, then you should be arrested, plain and simple!Cheers everyone and BUY Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, the Wii U needs that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze lovin! Please wear a hoodie or warm clothes when playing Tropical Freeze because you will literally start to become VERY cold when playing the snow/winter levels, trust me on this one!Peach out!ps. Why are you reading this? GO BUY DONKEY KONG COUNTRY TROPICAL FREEZE NOW or you will be REPORTED!
