![]() So.how about an improved port of Star Fox Zero with various control options next? 0 comments (Mind the pun.)Īs long as Wii U ports get this kind of love moving over to the Switch, we're all in. But the controls are better Funky Kong is a blast and actually makes it easier to beat the game and the co-op is just plain bananas. As for you prior Wii U owners, that's really on you. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is yet another excellent platforming romp for the Nintendo Switch and if this is your first time playing the game, it's an absolute must-buy. ![]() On top of that, you can't skip the opening cut scene, even if you played through the game and are going back in. Not many new challenges to take on no new territories that open up and no new cinemas featuring Funky. Tropical Freeze's biggest problem is that there's really not too much new here. ![]() Hearing Funky Kong call out in joy while performing tricks makes us feel like he deserves his own game. Just dive into the water for the first time and you'll see what I mean. The music is probably the best we've heard in a DKC game since the original SNES version and there are even nods to that wonderful soundtrack. The game also moves at a speedy pace (for the most part) on either handheld or TV screen, so no matter which way you play, you're a winner. Otherwise, the graphics are a wild bunch, with beautiful animations, compelling level design and a fun use of colors. There are very minor visual stutters here and there, but you'll barely notice unless you're paying attention. There's a slight bit better functionality, even with on-the-go play.Īs for the presentation, it still shines. The buttons are much closer together than with the Wii U version, and performing functions like pounding the ground (to open up plants and activate trap doors) feels much better here.

He's just the thing people can turn to if the game gets too difficult for them. He's considered an "easy mode" character, as you can use his surfboard to hover and get across spikes, along with an infinite roll feature and increased health. The key addition to Tropical Freeze on the Switch is Funky Kong, who's probably the most stylish character we've seen yet in the series. You'll need them all too, because the game is still quite challenging.īut for those crying foul that the game is too hard, there is some relief. This includes Cranky Kong, who can help DK get across spike pits with a DuckTales-style pogo jump Dixie Kong, who uses her hair to levitate our hero across pits and long chasms and Diddy Kong, with his modified double barrel rocket pack for an extra boost. The gameplay has innovated quite a bit from previous DK games, making fine use of secondary characters. In fact, the game is overflowing with so many secrets, you likely won't find them all until the fifth or so playthrough. ![]() Along the way, you've got a bevy of collectibles to pick up, including 1-up balloons K-O-N-G- letters to earn an additional life bananas and coins and so much more. ![]()
