Currently my #1 most wanted game!

Really happy the Donkey Kong Country series is still continuing and I've waited for so long for another Donkey Kong Country to feature Dixie Kong as a playable again.



This underwater level looks really cool. I love the silhouette style levels.



The new Viking enemies look kinda neat.

Can't wait. So good. This in HD is freaking glorious. I mean, Returns on Wii and 3DS already looks awesome but the resolution held it back. This on the other hand.... hnnnngh.

Shame that Retro wasn't working on a new IP after all. But this looks pretty cool, I like how they've incorporated dynamic angling into it.

I love the name Tropical Freeze, it's such an awesome and cool sounding name and so much better than naming it something like, Donkey Kong Country 5 or Donkey Kong Country Continues.

Loving the style of the official artwork as well.



One thing that bothered me about Returns is how you're forced to be in control of DK with only assistance from Diddy instead of being able to control him as well. I doubt it, but I hope the select option is back so you can swap to be in control of Diddy or Dixie in the single player.

You know, this is probably the last game I would want Retro to be working on, and it really does look like an up ressed wii game, but man I'm excited.

DKCR was my favorite 2D plat of the whole gen. I 100% it twice. If this is as good as that, then I will be happy.


I really hope they don't compromise the fantastic difficulty of returns. That was just a really challenging game. If the music is good, difficulty stays consistent with returns, and there are no motion controls, then this will be a winner.

I am just going to get pumped for this, because obviously Retro has a second project.

I noticed them mentioning a 4th playable character they can't discuss just yet.

Maybe they're bringing Kiddy Kong back into the DKC series? Or have created a completely new playable Kong? I really hope it isn't teenage Tiny Kong or Funky Kong.

I'm hoping for a new character.

Because of the theme, I think a Yeti Kong would be a nice fit.

I would think Retro would have a more creative design other than a white Donkey Kong.

You know, some people were disappointed that this is what Retro's making... Honestly, I freaking love Donkey Kong Country Returns, and thus, I love this new game!

The lack of Kremlings again makes me a little sad, but I DO like the viking guys they have for this game! It's kind of expanding the Donkey Kong world a bit. Plus, DIXIE KONG, YEAH! Plus another playable character... I'm curious to see who THAT is! Some say it's Funky, though I thought that, according to all the official bios from him, and even from himself in certain games, that he's not much of an adventurer, and would rather help by the sidelines. There's one guy that suggested King K. Rool is the fourth playable character; he teams up with the Kongs because it's mutually beneficial for all of them!

There's one other thing that bothers me a bit... The guy in the Developer Direct, who apparently also worked on Super Mario Bros. 2, said that they were going to bring back the "pluck and chuck" mechanics from that game and put it in this one. ...They're bringing back the Super Mario Bros. 2 "pluck and chuck" feature... in a Donkey Kong game... Seriously, this feels like a huge WTF, I mean, here's the Mario series, BEGGING for something different, just asking for a return of that different but fun game style that game had, and they're bringing it back in a Donkey Kong game?! But the really kicker is the fact that this guy is talking about how he wants to "differentiate" this game from the previous one. Yeah, how come no one's talking like that for the New Super Mario Bros. games? ...But yeah, it looks pretty cool here, even though I feel like I might miss the classic "bonk" that the previous Donkey Kong Country games had.

One last thing:

David Wise to Compose Soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze - News - Nintendo World Report

David Wise, one of the original composers for the Donkey Kong Country series, is going to be composing music for this game.

I'm just going to go ahead and say this, with the possible exception of the Super Smash Bros. games, this is the best reveal of 2013 E3. Yeah, that's right.

I laugh at all the haters. I want this tons more than another Metriod game. Donkey Kong Country is one of my favorite series of all time, though I doubt this game will top DKC2 in style.

I'm just hoping they don't dial the difficulty down.

I don't think anyone is hating on Tropical Freeze. I'm excited as well. However, I don't think anyone asked for it. I'm sure it'll be fun, but I think people were hoping that it would be a game people actually were asking about.

It was announced today that DK will be delayed to Feb 2014.

Not too disappointed since I'll be busy with a lot of other games this holiday.

Sucks that it got delayed. Also a little disappointed that they didn't show off any new game play or screenshots. Not too much of a problem. Gives me more time to work on my massive backlog, saves me $50 for December, and fills up any post Christmas release droughts. It's also good for business. Especially if 3D World and some other games do really well. Gives Tropical Freeze some breathing space. Considering February (as far as I know) is mostly empty in release dates. Similar to how Rayman Legends would have launched.

Nintendo will probably have at least 1 more Nintendo Direct this year, and this will likely be shown there. Who knows, the fourth character may be revealed then.

Good idea to delay it overall, though it's blatantly obvious it has nothing to do with quality insurance.

My family has a tradition of playing Donkey Kong games on New Years so as long as it releases before than everything is good.

EDIT: nevermind I just realized that it was moved from December to February... Welp guess this year it's DKCR again.

Pretty disappointing visually, but DKCR was my favorite plat of last gen, so I have faith in the gameplay.

Trailer looks good. I really love the design of the blazing forest and mountain levels. Judging by that red seal at the end, does this mean bosses will be reused like in the original DKC. Just with new attacks and color palettes? I doubt they'd reuse a boss though, just something neat I noticed.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Videos, Movies & Trailers - Wii U - IGN

IGN has 4 new gameplay videos of DKTF. They all look super fun! If you listen over the annoying rep, you can hear some new beautiful David Cage music.

Regarding the 4th character, it looks like there wont be a new one introduced or old one making their return. Seems like the 4th playable character is possibly Cranky Kong based on this new boxart.

I have some doubts about that. Considering it's not in Cranky's character to be a super guide. Since in the other games he's ranted about stuff like games being too easy, even in the DKCR manual I remember a little image of Cranky disapproving of super guides. I think it'll be the Yeti DK again.

Mario Kart Wii did make me dislike Funky Kong. I don't hate him, I like the original surfer Funky Kong.



I just hate this modern design of Funky Kong and his annoying voice.

So something of value came from VGX (for me, anyway, that's a first).

Seeing Cranky Kong in action is pretty awesome... Though admittedly, I couldn't help but think Scrooge McDuck while watching the demo.

Ah come now yuoke, I know you love Metroid, but I don't think you should take Retro developing something other than Metroid as an insult. I can see where you're coming from, what with how Other M has been taken as close to a slap in the face to fans of the series, it must suck to have that game as the latest installment of the franchise after years of waiting.

Cranky Kong was the best surprise this year, Wii U is going to skyrocket from this.

It can't be him, all the kremlings are exclusive to rare, which is why they weren't in dkcr at all.

Because they wanted to change things up?

Default Is Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze worth it?

I am really curious about the new DK title for the WiiU. I will probably buy it as I didn't buy DK Country Returns and it seems like a well made game. I really have an issue though... Is it me or is Tropical Freeze almost identical to its predecessor? It looks the same but in HD, it plays the same (and the 2.5D camera angles are a ****ty excuse of a change) and it feels the same. Do you agree? Will you buy the game or not? What are your thoughts on it?

I'll let you know once the game is actually out.

But I plan on getting it day one, Retro Studios are a fantastic bunch and everything I've seen look really imaginative and fun, and generally improved over its predecessors. A new David Wise soundtrack alone almost justifies the price of entry.

But "is it worth it" is up to you.

I really like Retro and I know they will deliver a quality title.
I won't buy it at day one as well not because I don't want to but because it gets released during my university exams.
My only concern is if the game actually is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD...

If you want to compare games, DKC, DKC2 and DKC3 were all amazing in their own right and they all look similar.

Sure they may look similar, but you don't get the same experience from each. DKC for example had better difficulty scaling. DKC2 had more stage diversity and DKC3 (I got nothing)

You know it will be DKC, and you know it's going to be a fun ride. It's up to you if you're going to buy it at launch though. I'd wait a bit and hopefully find it on sale.

I chose NO, because I have Zero interest in this game, sadly. I have the 3DS re-release of the first title, but I havent played thru it yet.

$50-$60 seems too steep to me.

Well it's a good thing the game isn't DKCR HD!
They already made a 3ds port!
Sorry if I'm being cynical, but what do you mean by DKCR HD? It does what a sequel does, build off what made prior games did, cut out the bad, keep the good, and add more new things. If you're expecting radical, genre changing difference, you may wanna look elsewhere, but if you want a great DK game, get it.

I'm not even remotely interested in this game. I have DKC Returns and it was fun for one playthrough. I feel like Tropical Freeze is just a rehash. The Wii U is capable of so much more than sidescrollers. They shouldh've went back to the DK 64 style of Donkey Kong.

Really not interested. I might get it cheap at some point, but not for awhile. Other than the gimmicky 3d view thing, it looks like basically Dkcr HD. I'm sure the music will be great too, but $60 right now for this eh....no. This coming from someone that loves retro and The prime trilogy is probably favorite game/games ever.
I also would have liked to have seen a new 3d dk, and not even necessarily the same style as dk64. It wouldn't have to be a full collectathon, but maybe more of the lines of 3d world, or even open world, but more compressed.

How can we really know if it is worth it if the game isn't out yet?

At the moment side scrollers seem unnecessary and kinda cheap.
We need more varied titles for the WiiU. We did get New Super Mario Bros U at launch which was the same with its wii predecessor but in HD and then they went even further with Luigi U.
We also got the gorgeus Rayman Legends and a ton of Virtual Console titles.
I just feel like we get another rehashed side-scroller from the previews generation, capitalizing on its previews success.
I believe its common sense that side-scrollers are much easier to make than open world games and Nintendo is trying to make the games as fast as possible.
That's why they chose 2D DK instead of a 3D DK or Metroid.
Still I cannot deny that the game looks nice and fun... But not as fun as it could be...

I loved Returns. Epic level design and perfect difficulty imo. What always bothered me when playing that on the Wii was the horrible 480p resolution and the forced motion controls. This now in HD and without motion controls, with new levels and hopefully even more epic level design, and a new Wise soundtrack? Day 1 purchase for me.

I was a sucker for the DKC games and DK64, it's insane how many times I've played through them. I don't see why everyone is complaining that it's in 2D, just because modern systems are capable of amazing 3D graphics, I don't see why a 2D game is bad. It's a different feel and that feel shouldn't be buried just because systems can handle 'better'. It may be in 2D, yes, but the graphics are still great. I don't see why 3D gameplay would make it better. I don't enjoy SM3DW/SM3DL more than I enjoy the 2D Mario games... but of course this is all just my opinion.

3d would be new and different anc would make the game not feel like rehash of dkcr. It just seems weird that this games took retro nearly 4 years to make appearently when it seems like there really isn't that much to it. Nsmbu was a good game, but so blatantly just another rehash, while 3d world took the same concept as 3dl, but just made everhthing so much better. Now if they made a 3dw sequel, then it would feel really tiring and old, but I don't think they will.
So it isn't that this game probably won't be good, but they could have done so much more on the wii u than the wii, and right now the wii u needs standout games.

Pretty much how I feel.
If I didn't already have a Wii U, I'd definitely buy one right now so I can play Tropical Freeze.

Dunno why people are complaining about this being a 2D game, and come on, how can some say it's "DKCR HD" and looks identical? It's not like it's just DK and Diddy again having a second round with the Tiki Tak Tribe in HD with unimproved graphics.

DKC has always been 2D and never a disappointment (to me), it doesn't need to be 3D. IMO Tropical Freeze is exactly what it's supposed to be, so what more can they possibly do? There's all new levels, new enemies, some new moves and bonuses, under water levels are back, stunning graphics and an awesome sound track, 4 playable characters, etc. Sounds like a decent enough improvement from Returns to me.

itt people pretend to know how much work goes into platformers

This is no NSMB tile copy-paste level design. Everything you speed past in the level was modeled, animated, textured... a lot of different parts go into it. Parts that take time and effort. Not to mention they then need to make sure it all works in the engine and is balanced.

Also you guys know you can stop using the word "rehash" and start using the word "sequel", right? It's more becoming.

edit: And on a more pleasant note.

I like DKCR 3D but it really does look like a HD remake, with a LOT of reused assets. Also there are way too many 2D sidescrollers, lost interest in them.

So in short, no.

I also didn't like the way they presented the weird camera angles as something new and exciting... It's just a stupid camera angle! It's only used when you are in barrels! It's nothing special!

My problem with Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze is that Nintendo trotted it out like everyone was going to be excited about it, while everyone was HOPING it was a new Metroid title.

Im sure the game will be great, by I am kind of Platformer'd out right now. I dont want another sidescroller. I want some 3D environments, maybe some exploration, destruction... Just...something...else.

Dont get me wrong, I like kickin' it oldschool, but I like newschool as well, and Nintendo has been doing more than enough oldschool at the moment.

Exactly! I was so hyped when X was announced! Finally something different... Bayonetta2 as well...Now I only need Metroid Universe.

Not sure if I follow the train of thought where Bayonetta 2 (sequel to a 2010 game), X (spiritual sequel to a 2010-2012 game) and a new Metroid (sequel to a series whose last entry was in 2010) is something new, whereas the sequel to the 2010 Donkey Kong Country Returns isn't. Unless you're saying there's an overabundance of platformers on Wii U, in which case I agree to an extent, but feel that DKC stands out due to different control and a heavy emphasis on dynamic level design and difficulty (plus, the genres represented in those other games aren't exactly sparse in the industry as a whole).

I would understand if you were hoping for something totally new from Retro, though. But it's the second Donkey Kong platformer in just under 10 years, so I'm not sure why it's all that bad. It sounds more like it's not what you (though obviously not exclusively you) wanted it to be

I wonder what you mean by everyone considering there are a considerable amount of people who were hoping for another DK after getting a great one in 2010, and a few Metroid fans such as I who want the series to take a break after getting a bad one in...2010!

Besides, need I even mention that your everyone would be false in any context, considering the last DK game (A series that was irrelevant for a decade prior) outsold the last 3 Metroid games (A series that received 4 mainline titles, 1 collection, 1 spin off, and a pinball title in the decade prior). Oh but wait, everyone was on board with this right? Metroid isn't dead (Although I want to know what makes DK a "rehash" while another Metroid would be what "everyone wants") but it isn't that hyped up for either, no matter what the vocal minority says.

Also, in relevance to the thread, I really want to know what people mean by "There are too many platformers on the Wii U!1!1!"
Because I have a nice list right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_games and it tells a different tale.

Even if we look at Nintendo's own output on Wii U, about 11 games, we see that the only platformers are NSMBU and SM3DW... That's about it.

And if we look at what's on the pipeline (DK:TF, Bayo 2, X, Hyrule warriors, Smash bros 4, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi, Zelda U) we see that there are only 2 more platformers planned for Wii U, bringing the total up to a whopping 4 Nintendo made platformers on Wii U.

I'd advise some fact checking next time.

I didnt say that was everyone's opinion (too many platformers), I said "I" was sick of platformers for the time being. And yes, saying "everyone" was obviously an exaggeration, but everyone has to pick apart everyone's posts literally for any and all "not exactly true" opinions. Oh crap, I did it again.

Why do a some people keep acting like a new DKC game isn't what anyone wanted? Returns is amazing and I've been hoping for a sequel for the past few years, so I was pretty ecstatic when Tropical Freeze was announced.

Yes, a lot of people wanted Metroid, but I still don't see what's so bad about this. Before Returns, the DKC series had been dead for what, 13-14 years? So it's a pretty deserved title IMO.

As well as not using the word "rehash", can we also stop throwing "HD remake" around. I think we all know it's obviously NOT a remake, it's genuine sequel. As far as I know, nobody (or hardly anyone) complained about DKC, DKC2 and DKC3 being too similar to each other. All 3 are amazing games in their own ways, so it's kinda silly how people are nitpicking Tropical Freeze for having similarities to Returns. If it didn't have a lot of similarities to all the past DKC games, it wouldn't have that awesome DKC feel.

The new enemies are freaking Vikings. That's just awesome on it's own. What's also awesome, is how underwater levels are back. I'm loving the remastered Aquatic Ambiance theme from the original DKC.

I think it's also the fact that the dkcr port recently came out. That didn't help things. Then at the vgx awards, there were so many signs to reggie basically announcing a new metroid without announcing it, only to say "lol cranky, get hyped". Plus that the whole thing about how retro was working on something everyone wants for over three years.

Not to be picky, but an inferior port (30 fps, etc etc ) shouldn't really count.
Also nothing pointed to Nintendo treating VGX any better than the rest of the publishers there (crap, it got less views than a Nintendo direct). Cranky actually did its job better than expected, as it (for example) was trending on twitter all throughout VGX, in comparison to most other reveals/events there.

Not picking on you, or trying to pick on anyone in this thread, I'm just tired of this whole "Metroid should've been made, DK is a rehash" mantra that I see prevalent in many places. Not even sure how it dilineated into this.

Yeah, I don't think DKCR3D counts as a new DK. It's still a game that came out a few years ago.

dafuq? Why are you comparing the 3D port of DKCR to DK64? They're nothing alike. DK64 is it's own thing, it's not part of the DKC series.

I enjoyed Returns (+ Returns 3D) more than DKC and DKC3. DKC2 is my favorite of the 4.

I know that dkcr3d is obviously a port, but I just think that contributes to the negative opinions. It is just a bunch of smaller things that domino effect to this game not having. A great reputation going in.

I can NOT be excited about whatever I want, for whatever reason I want. Boohoo some people think there is too much Donkey Kong going on. Oh no, it doesnt affect you people at all, but lets complain about people that complain...

To which I just did as well. SEE WHAT YOU ARE MAKING ME DO!

The WiiU is the best choise at the moment as the other 2 consoles have almost no eclusives or interesting titles... That won't be for long though...

As for DKC:TF I have no real issue with the game, I would just prefer to have a Metroid game before the DK one as we recently had a really good DK game but we have been waaiting for a good Metroid game for much longer...

Well I have a WiiU and I am more of a handheld fan so I will stay with it... The only non-Nintendo console I have is the PS2 so I don't really care about the Sony exclusives and I don't give a **** about Microsoft.

The problem is that there were many great games announced for the WiiU at E3 but after that we have no news about other upcoming games (except for Hyrule Warriors). So I am patiently waiting for the E3 announced games to come out...

...I am looking at you X!!!

Some reviewers like gamespot are giving it low scores but others are giving it high scores, but i don't care. I am getting it friday and i will love it. If you wanna miss out and skip DKC: TF because it's not Metroid or whatever, it's your loss.

Gamespot's review was aweful and tragic.
The commentor was saying "the environments are bland and generic" and at the same time the footage was showing some great environments and a large variety.
God, he was unhappy because the bosses were too hard. People! He was judging a game because it was difficult? What does he want? If you don't want challenge go watch a movie and leave DK alone!

It's like this guy didn't witness the NES era, when everything was hard as hell without guides.

Granted, the game looks amazing and now I'll probably pick this up whenever I get a Wii U. Definitely going to the DK event at least

OST is being uploaded on a YouTube channel, so spoilers obviously. Don't want to spoil to much of the music, so I've been only listening to some songs. Rodent Ruckus and Horn Top Hop are my current favorites.

I'm at World 5 and now the game is starting to get tougher.

Loving this game and so far it's my current favorite game on the Wii U. Actually, this might end up being my favorite Donkey Kong Country game.

The soundtrack really is amazing, but I still kinda like the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack more.

Also...



lol

Which Kong do you guys prefer? Obviously Diddy for me because he's, well, Diddy. Cranky is kinda meh and I like Dixie, but she kinda makes it too easy.

It'd be cool if we got DLC like New Super Luigi U for this game. I can see it now...Cranky Kong Country!

I'd say Dixie is the most useful, but there are times where Diddy has more of an advantage. Cranky's the most fun, and he's great for speed runs.

I feel bad for Cranky, this is his first time being a star character in a DK game and I haven't really used him much.

I love getting to play as just Diddy in Hard Mode. It may be frustrating and tough, but it's worth it since you get to play as any of the Kongs on their own. No forced piggybacking on DK. I miss having a select choice like in the original SNES games.

Loving this game! The graphics are gorgeous. The loading times are a bit annoying, but worth it regardless

Whoever said (I forget who/which site) this game has bland/unoriginal level designs and graphics/scenery must have been playing a completely different game.

How do you guys play when you go for 100%? Do you just play through every world, beat the final boss and go back to collect everything you missed? Or like me, do you collect every Puzzle Piece and K-O-N-G letter before you move onto the next world and so on?

With any game in general, I prefer to collect and do everything there is to be done before I take on the final boss.

Agreed. The graphics and scenery are completely stunning. Probably the best I've seen on the system so far. The levels are designed really nice too.

I always tell myself I'm gonna 100% it while running through it the first time, but usually end up giving up less than halfway through and hten going back...sometimes I don't even 100%. But this one I'm really gonna try to do it world by world. We'll see.

I'd probably never finish the game if I went for 100% moving on, ahaha. I haven't had much time to play so I'm just on World 3 as is. It's great so far.

I've already 100% the game (besides getting the best time attack score, gonna save that for later). But I did it by making sure to get every Kong letter in each level, and beat each level. Then move on to the next world. After I beat every level and got every kong letter I went back for puzzle pieces and time trials.

I got the first game awhile back but I haven't played it yet.

How does Tropical Freeze compare to Returns?

So you haven't played Returns yet? Returns IS an amazing game and to sum it up as shortly as possible; Tropical Freeze is everything Returns is, but way better and includes a lot of things Returns lacked. Should also mention the Tropical Freeze soundtrack is beautiful and amazing with some remixes from the other DKC games.

I can't believe a lot of people seem to dislike this game based on the fact it's hard. (I actually once saw a post on Miiverse of someone saying they were giving up and selling the game because they couldn't beat the 2nd boss...lol)

Dunno why difficulty is a problem since most games these days are too easy. Tropical Freeze really isn't that hard and imo it's a little bit easier than Returns.

They just can't seem to please their fans lol. People complain the games are too easy and when they're thrown a hard one, they complain it's too hard. I guess people still want an easy hand-holding experience.

I thought the difficulty was perfect.

Just to spite the fans, they should make the next dk game in 3d and the easiest, most handholding game ever.

See, I don't think that's how it is. People who are angry about something are usually the people you hear most, so I doubt the people who rag on Nintendo for being too easy also complain about the game being too hard.

Still, it is annoying that you always end up hearing complaints when you expect praise for listenning.
